Belly Pictures Weeks 32-34, Mother's Day

32 weeks (photo by Axel because we forgot over the weekend, and were a couple days late!)

33 weeks

I couldn't believe my belly looked this big when I sat down, so I sent this to Jeff.


Some of my Mother's Day loot. Not pictured: chocolate that was quickly devoured.

Close-up of the card from Jeff. If you can't tell, its the baby kicking and poking so hard that it gets Jeff in the jaw.

34 weeks

I had an ultrasound at 34 weeks, but our crazy little guy didn't want his picture taken. But he looking very healthy, and already over 5 pounds.

I filmed my belly for 4 minutes, then edited down to the best movements. Sorry that it cuts out mid-movement at the end; my camera ran out of storage.

Natalie's Visit

Aunt Natalie came for a fun weekend visit! And with the ulterior motive of taking my maternity pictures (those will be posted in about a month!)

Drawing silly pictures.

At the Kensico Dam for pictures. Is it just me or does he look like a teenager in this outfit?

T-ball game. I thought they looked so cute lined up in their helmets!

Playing some board games


We went to a Mets game!




The pastrami sandwiches are sooo good! We also got a delicious lobster roll.

Had to take another one of this shirt, since I'm actually wearing it in the appropriate venue!

The free give-away for the game that day was a Yoenis Cespedes #52 garden gnome. So we got four. Natalie took home one, and you can find the other 3 scattered around our garden.

We did a lovely hike to "Stone Church" in Dover, NY.





I couldn't go all the way into the cave because the rocks were slippery, but the others did!

 

Looking at the beautiful ferns. It was so luscious and green!


We ended up finding 3 ticks between the 4 of us, so we immediately stripped off our clothes to wash them, and took showers. Hopefully that took care of any other ticks!

We LOVED having Natalie here and can't wait to see her again!
