Day 4

Ethan's "cheeeeeeeeee" (cheese) face.

Day 3

Lots of tears in this house today. It was overcast and cool. Brandon went back to school after the winter break and me and the other two just hung out at home.

Day 2

We had Jason's family over for dinner tonight. The kids love playing with their cousins!

Blog 365 January 1, 2011

One of my New Year's Resolutions will be to do a 365 picture blog. The idea is that you have a picture for every day of the year. With three kiddos I might have to have more than one...I'm never good at narrowing it down when you have such handsome subjects ;)

Brandon is 4!!!

My big boy, Brandon, turned 4 years old on Saturday. We had a great family day together and ended the day with a family party. Some of his favorite people were there to celebrate the big day with him. We continued our celebrations today with a trip to Sea World with my parents. It was a great weekend. So hard to believe that it's been 4 short years since I became a mommy for the first time and that I've just had my 3rd child!!

Introducing.....Ethan John Norred

He's here! Ethan John Norred was born on Wednesday, September 9, 2009 at 11:27am. He was 8 pounds, 11 ounces and 21 inches long. He's the sweetest baby, just like his brother, Jack, was....guess that means I'm really in for it in about a year!

38 Week Appt

I had my 38 week OB appt this morning. Everything looks great. Baby's heartrate was in the 150s. I'm still about 3cms and now 60% effaced, so I've made some great progress, even if we didn't follow doctor instructions ;) The doctor said I'm perfect for an induction and we are on for WEDNESDAY MORNING!!! I overheard her trying to make an induction appt for the same day for another woman and (they were on speakerphone and my exam room was right next to her workstation) the hospital said they were already booked for Wednesday and Thursday! So I'm considering myself lucky that I got one of those spots for Wednesday. I told Jason we need to get to the hospital EARLY in case a bunch of women go in to labor on their own, I don't want to get sent home! That's it for us. We hope to enjoy our Labor Day weekend as a family of 4 for the last time. We've got it all planned out for the kids with babysitters and such. I don't know what I'd do without my mom or my sister-in-law, Natalie, they have been real life savers for me these last few weeks.
