How do you like our attempt at "maternity shots" - ha ha ha! Truett was sweet enough to give his baby sister a little peck, and then of course he proceeded to pounce all over my belly (not pictured).

Happy Kids
Playgroup this week was especially exciting for the kiddos because there was a Little Tikes bouncy house - outside, which we all know toddlers love to be outside - and EVERYONE loved that thing! Marley's mama, Becca, snapped some cute pictures of some very happy kids and I just had to steal some of her shots. We're so lucky to have all our playgroup friends!

Strollin'
We took a little family trip the zoo just a few weeks ago and as usual True man had a blast. We didn't even realize we were there on "enrichment day" which meant we got to see the animals live in action. They were all getting special treats and were super active. We saw the albino alligator eat a huge rat, and then two boa constrictors eat 2 bunnies (eek).

One Month
Wow, here is my last month of pregnancy!! In some ways I feel like I've been pregnant for a long time, but in other ways it has absolutely FLOWN by this time. I had a horrible kidney infection about 2 weeks ago, but ever since then everything had been progressing along just fine. In fact, the constant backache I had for MONTHS seems to be gone. I'm not even having the excrutiating pelvic pain I had with Truett at this stage. I wonder if it's because she is higher, or if it's because my bones and ligaments have already been stretched once before so it's not as noticeable this time? Who knows. Either way...now we just wait as she plumps up. Aat my last OB appt my doctor, once again, made the comment that I would not go to 40 weeks. He told me the same thing with Truett and he was right, I delivered him at 36.5 weeks. I have NO idea if he's going to be right about this and I don't want to get my hopes up...so I am telling myself one more month still.
The other night Ted got a taste of Miss Baby B's tap dancing (B as in Borel...she is still nameless!). She is quite the mover and shaker! I still have no idea how Truett is going to react. We talk about his "baby sister" - which he can say - and how he is going to be the best big brother, etc....but I think until she is here he won't really get it. He is such a little love to Mocha I hope he's the same way with the baby.
Speaking of True, he is getting so grown up to us these days. He is fascinated with daddy fixing things - "Daddy feex it!" and lately he is fascinated with Mocha's pooping, lol, and goes outside to squat like the dog, too. He also enjoys helping daddy pooper scoop the backyard with his shovel. Maybe this can be his second chore (his first is/was feeding Mocha, but we're not very consistent with it yet). He is still sleeping in his crib and he is quite content in there with his jungle of animals so until he shows signs of wanting to get out we are keeping it that way. I just love that little man more than any words could describe. He has just started repeating "I love you" and it sounds something like "wuv you'd"...melts me in a puddle everytime.
I know, how wonderful of me to take a picture in public restrooms....it is the only time I even think about belly shots though, ha! And it might be my last belly shot, too....considering I only take them once every few weeks...

Football! Football!
We have a little football fan on our hands. Truett has now been to 3 college football games and he loves them. This past weekend we tailgated for a good 3 hours and for the last hour he kept pointing to the stadium yelling, "Football!" He was ready to get inside and watch the action. Myra has more cute pictures I will post on the blog. I've been (once again) pretty horrible about taking pictures of my own. I do have some cute ones from our zoo trip but they're on Ted's camera and I have a few on mine too, I just need to load them on the comp.

In other news, we are getting ready for baby girl. I'm in full on nesting mode. Her room is pretty close to being complete, the newborn clothes have been washed, the bassinet is already downstairs, I bought some new nursing tanks...we are 5 weeks out from her due date. I can't wait to meet this sweet baby girl! We are completely stumped on a name though. There have been many ideas thrown out over the past couple of months so it will be interesting to see which one it ends up being. I have been feeling anxious about being ready for 2 kids, but now I'm SO excited to see this face and to have her join our family I feel like she can't come soon enough!
