Week 10

* The time had finally come for us to get the final things ready for baby. We got the car seat in  the car and moved Katelynn into the backseat (which she is really loving, and so am I since Katelynn and Mark can't touch each other now). I brought in the pack-n-play to our room and found some more toys and things we need for baby, now we just need a baby!

* Katelynn and Mark have always loved playing in the backyard, today I was taking some pictures and Mark was ever so stoic and Katelynn was the playful one.

 

* We went over to Grandma’s house on Saturday and had some fun chatting and playing outside. We had some spaghetti for lunch and the kids were so excited to have noodles that you would think I have never fed them noodles before.

                                                     

Week 9

* My feet are gone, they probably have been missing for a few weeks but I didn't realize it until I took this picture. He is getting bigger and bigger.

*We finally got an hour set aside to put together the toy box shelf for Mark’s room. Mark was intently watching Toy Story until he heard the drill. Once he heard that he was right in the middle of helping get it put together. Mark’s room looks so much more organized. I love it.

*I made a carrot cake on Sunday for the first time in many years and it turned out great. Katelynn and Mark helped and so if we are making any sort of cake it has to have sprinkles on it and Katelynn wanted to put candles too, but we didn't since it wasn't anyone’s birthday.
Here's the recipe if you want to try it out.  I did change it to 1 cup sugar and 1 cup brown sugar, 3/4 cup oil and 1/2 cup apple sauce and 1 table spoon vanilla extract. Ben has been raving about it. I am glad that we tried it and agree about it.

* Daddy was talking to Katelynn in bed and telling her about what he saw in his imagination, like Katelynn as a beautiful princess. He told Katelynn to close her eyes and tell him what she saw. She said very matter of factly, “I don’t see anything, all I see is black daddy!” I died laughing when I heard that from the other room.

* 36 weeks has come and gone. My to do list for the week is to get the car seat out of the box and in the car and get our bags packed. He's a coming!
