33 Week Update

I know - long time, no blog! Posting pictures and stories of all the cute things the kids have been up to has been way up at the top of my list lately, but somehow I just don't make it past the first few things on the list most days (1. feed the crew 2. get everyone presentable to leave the house 3. go buy more food to feed the crew 4. tell my husband how wonderful he is for taking care of everything else 5. fall asleep)

So I thought I would do a quick post to let you know we're still out here, and despite my silence everything is going great! I'm just past 33 weeks in the pregnancy and the baby is very healthy and active. I've been having a lot of back pain and contractions, but I'm not starting to dilate so they are not alarming so much as they are uncomfortable. I need to take it much, much slower and try to do as little lifting as possible, which is hard because I feel like I've scaled back already so much. Mark, both sets of grandparents, and some sweet friends have been tremendously helpful in this department. I am SO thankful for all loving arms taking care of my kids and the helpful hands washing dishes!

Adam is starting to walk and Hannah is just about to celebrate her 3rd birthday. Next chance I get, I will post lots of pictures and videos of them - they are so cute you won't be able to stand it!
