4 weeks to go! Also, pic overload included....

So I've been slacking a bit... okay A LOT! But in my defense, there's been a lot going on. The end of my pregnancy is tiring me out, plus keeping my house ready for showings and having Colin to take care of keeps me on my toes. Anyways....

In pregnancy news, I'm just over 34wks along and hanging in there. I had an eventful start of the week when Monday I woke up with contractions - painful contractions. My mother-in-law came over to help with Colin while I figured out if I should go to my scheduled Dr appt that morning or head to the hospital. My OB's office said to head to the hospital, so off we went. Turned out that I have an infection and was dehydrated, both contributing to me having contractions. So I got put on some antibiotics and drank lots of juice & water and was sent home. With Scott being out of town, my in laws insisted that Colin and me stay at their house - after that little incident they didn't want me home alone. So basically aside from going to work, I've been hanging out with my inlaws all week, and fortunately for me I have awesome inlaws and I don't mind being at their house one bit! Scott will be home Friday and then he's done traveling until after the baby arrives. And speaking of the baby - we finally finalized a name - Jackson Thomas. I think it sounds pretty good! And lots of thanks to Amy who helped pick out the perfect middle name ;) 4 weeks from today we'll be meeting him and it cannot come soon enough - I'm dying to see what he looks like! I'm constantly wondering if he'll look just like his big brother and Mommy, or if Daddy will see some of his genes in one of his sons for a change!

In Colin news - we're getting ready for his 2nd birthday. I can't believe it's here already! We'll be celebrating it with my family on Easter and then with Scott's family on his real birthday (the 29th). Colin has been amazing us every day lately - his vocabulary is getting so good and he can put together some pretty good sentences too. Lately we're focusing on counting and learning his ABC's - oh, and singing Baa, Baa, Black Sheep too ;) We set up his toddler bed a couple weeks ago and he's slept in it a few times, but wakes up during the night and wants in his crib. We're trying to figure out the right way to approach the whole transition process - it's not easy! And since it's been awhile, here's a bunch of pics from the past month of Colin....

Hanging out with Daddy:

After having some fun with a pen that his parents told him not to play with:

Enjoying the warm, sunny day:

Sleeping in his toddler bed for the first time - it's not a very good pic because I was paranoid to go into his room and wake him up, so I held the camera in and snapped the pic quickly:

This past weekend, we took Colin to have breakfast with the Easter Bunny. He was so fascinated with the Easter Bunny, he wouldn't take his eyes off him the entire time we ate breakfast and met him in person LOL But he wasn't scared and even said "Hi" and "Bye bye" to him when we left!

And last, just a cute smiley pic:

And I'm including a short clip of Colin in action. You can hear him say "cheese" when he sees the camera - apparently he knows the drill when the camera comes out!
