Maternity Pictures

Okay, so I know this may be a total onslaught of photos and posts of myself... apparently once I get going I cannot stop! But on a more serious note, one thing I wish I had done with my first pregnancy was have maternity pictures taken! It was hard to fit in while I worked full time up until the day I went into labor (at least that is the valid excuse I tell myself to feel better about it). And since you never know what pregnancy will be your last I was not going to let this one go by without them! I am so so happy how they turned out!! Would you believe they were done by my very own sister-in-law Kara, with the help of Shelly?! More on those 2 crazy cats in the next post (my a-m-a-z-i-n-g baby shower). So just get ready for more of yours truly.

6 Weeks and Counting...

Our little baby girl is due in exactly 6 weeks! We had another ultrasound today to make sure the placenta wasn't going to pose a problem during delivery. Everything looked perfect! We are getting so excited for her arrival and today just fueled the fire! Here is a picture we took just yesterday - at 34 weeks!

The Preggo

I was talking to my mom the other day and was telling her how huge I'm getting (and how huge I'm feeling) and she replied... "Well I wouldn't know because you never post pictures of yourself." And it's true! So this one is for you mom!!

I always enjoy seeing pictures people post of themselves pregnant. It's so fun to see how you progress. I've actually done a pretty good job of taking pictures of myself throughout this pregnancy I just haven't posted any!!

And while I'm typing about my pregnancy I'll tell you a little bit about it. First, I want to say that I absolutely, positively love being pregnant! I love feeling the baby move - and she is a mover!! More so than Jack ever was. And she has been transverse which is why I think I feel her a lot more than I did before (I don't think she is transverse anymore but it's hard to tell). I love having a pregnant body, love the big belly, and I am carrying her all in front and a little bit higher than with Jack. This explains the nasty heartburn I've been having (that will even wake me in the middle of the night) and I find myself a little short of breath more often as well but in general, those are my only complaints! And on the flip side of that I only have to get up and pee once during the night! I am so lucky because I feel great during pregnancy. And I love being able to eat anything and everything I want without feeling guilty! I have 7 more weeks to go and I could keep myself up for hours at night thinking about what next month will bring. What will labor and delivery be like? What will SHE be like?? It is so fun right now... knowing we will soon be a family of 4, feeling like she is a part of our family already, but not changing any diapers yet, no getting up a million times in the night to feed her and still only wrangling my 2 year old in the grocery store. (which, by the way, I thought yesterday while grocery shopping - how on earth do women grocery shop with 2 kids???)

Can't wait to meet you baby girl Munns! We have another ultrasound in a few days and I'm looking forward to seeing you one last time before the big day, whenever that may be!

These were taken 2 weeks ago, at 31 weeks.

Daniel is 33...

I have to remind myself that this is our FAMILY blog, not just Jack's blog! Although the majority of what we do totally revolves around that kid. Daniel did have his birthday this month... 3 days before Jackson's - really a bad idea. Not that I planned it that way, of course, but I found he may have been a little slighted because of all the party planning for Jack Jack!

It was probably his best birthday yet... not. He went to work (I did sneak in a little early morning breakfast in bed for the good man), we brought lunch to him at work and then met him at the church that evening with dinner where he went straight to from work for activity. And there you have it! Super fun birthday! We did take one picture on the day and here it is!

1. He is loyal

My Animal Lover

After I put Jack down for a nap the other day I kept finding animals all over the house... in the pantry, on the shelf, lined up behind the couch, on the chair. I love the 2-year-old-toddler-touch he adds to this house. I couldn't help but smile at each new discovery and then I had to finally grab the camera to document so I wouldn't forget this moment.

A Boy and His Dad...

Daniel left with Jack Jack tonight to "ride the lease" and look for turkeys. Jackson was equipped with necessary binoculars, not to worry. I am headed out to a girls night out shortly and found myself with time to get ready so I curled my hair. I haven't done that in years. Literally. At least 2 years. Anyhow, now that I'm sitting here ready to go thinking about my two boys that I'm missing a little, I thought I'd update the blog with the two main men in my life. A little airboating, a little fishing, a little hunting, washing the truck, playing with animals, napping... you know... all those boys things.

Jack's First Airboat Ride!!

Daniel thought since the boy is 2 now, it's time he had his first airboat ride. He didn't mention this to me, but he did mention it to Jackson so all day Monday I heard "Airboat ride, airboat ride, airboat ride."

I was skeptical about it at first but we ended up having a nice (safe) little time!!! He fussed about putting the life vest on, we had to pin his arms down to get the ear muffs on him but once the airboat was running he settled in on my lap and loved it! It was so cute watching him point at every single bird we crossed. And when Daniel pulled up to an alligator, he would put his arms out like he wanted to hold it. Funny kid. I have a feeling we'll be going out again soon.

Our First Family Camping Trip!!!

Since the weather has been so nice Daniel got the itch to try a family campout! Jack had never been camping before and I was a little skeptical only because he pretty much only sleeps in a crib. Lucky for us our tent is big and we just set up a port-a-crib for him and it worked like a charm! We got to the campsite a little on the late side so Daniel was setting up our tent in the dark. And it didn't give us much time that night to enjoy all the things you enjoy while camping, but it was a fun little trip and a little confidence booster that we actually can do it with our rugrat. So I'm sure we'll have more of these in the future.

The deal was that Daniel set up the tent and I arranged the inside.

Pictures around the campfire!

A little night fishing action.

Daniel took a picture of our accomodations in the morning. Little guy was still passed out.

And of course, some morning fishing action!
