Living the life...

There are days that go better than others, and although today started out pretty crummy-- it has dramatically improved (the peak was Matt and Kayla's PERFECT behavior at Sams Club). Anyway, we're busy around here. Peter was gone on business all last week, so we kept ourselves as busy as possible... which was pretty good-- but I think may have drained me even more. On the next few times he leaves I think I'm going to plan less activities and just try to enjoy the kids and down time more. (I'll let you know how that works).

We're looking at about less than 16 weeks until the big Due Date... and we have a TON of stuff to do before then. I'm already Christmas shopping (and birthday shopping for my kids)-- I'm hoping to have that all done by the weekend after Thanksgiving. Much to clean and organize before the baby's grand entrance as well. I want to start with as little chaos in the house as possible-- we'll see how that goes though ;) I have a "honey do" list that runs miles, and a list for myself that's equally as long-- thankfully I have a "honey" that doesn't complain about it (much).

Baby's still nameless, well mostly-- Kayla's suggested "Jacob" a few times, (even though it's a girl) and will occasionally mention one of our possible names as the baby's name. I'm pretty sure matt's content to call it "baby"-- he's way more excited that he'll get to chew gum when the baby comes.

Well, I think that's about all that's going on for now. I have about three baskets of folded laundry to put away, and a kitchen that's begging to be cleaned-- so I'm off. Nap times are only so long ;)

I'll leave ya with a little cuteness...

Good bye summer time

Burr, it's freezing outside (at least much colder than I would like it to be). Peter's new job is going wonderfully. The baby's been busy kicking up a storm (she loves to be most active once I sit down to relax or sleep)-- I keep willing her to flip around but I guess we'll see if she's done that at my next appointment. By the way, she's still nameless-- although I think we're getting closer to a final decision on the name.

Matt and Kayla have been super cute lately. They frequently crack me up with what they say and do. Their new saying is "two more minutes"... they want 2 more minutes before bed, or dinner or any other trasition... so now I need to remember to tell them 2 minutes earlier than we need to leave so we'll be on time. They are always entertaining to say the least.

Last night we hit Chuck-E-Cheese with Anna, Keely and Brendan. Matt and Kayla were SO funny there. Kayla kept asking for more money (tokens) please (and I got a forcast into what the future will sound like). Matt wanted to play all the racing games but that required me holding him so I could control the gas... so there I was with my pregnant belly and a 2 1/2 year old on my lap playing video games... I'm sure someone got a kick out of that. Anyway, it was a good time. Today we met both the grandma's for lunch to discuss the baby shower which should be really nice and a ton of fun! We're so blessed to have such a great family to love us :)

Keeping busy as usual...

It's a baby, it's a girl!

You heard it here first (well, maybe not) but the newest Webber is a girl. She still remains nameless as Peter and I read through every baby name book written-- but at least we know she's a she. I had a 3D ultrasound yesterday- for fun by someone not from my dr's practice (in which the gender was discovered) which was really cool. Then for my appointment today I had another to see the four chambers of the heart which were not visiable last time due to her positioning-- heart looks great, and today's lady said she "thinks its a girl" (yesterday's lady was pretty positive). So anyway, all is well. We just now need to prepare for a switching of Matt and Kayla's rooms (which will require repainting likely this weekend) and the purchacing of baby girl clothes-- which I'm very much looking forward to. That's about all for now.
