5 weeks to go

We checked in on baby today and all is great with baby. Baby is about 4lbs and the size of a pineapple. I feel slow, slug-like and my energy is zapped, but honestly I told myself with this pregnancy, it is the last time so just "enjoy" what you can. I am not one of those women who likes being pregnant so I do allow myself to complain, but only a little. There are women who would give anything to be a mom and feel a little one growing inside them and I've been blessed to do it three times. So my complaints are small in comparison to what others, some being my closest friends, have gone through.

Baby's heart rate was 131 - the lowest by far of the three kiddos. Evan was 145 and Wyatt was 148 at this stage. We have one laid back baby so far, and I really really hope that is the case on the outside too.

We made our annual trip to the State Fair and Adel Sweet Corn Festival.

Nick made a day trip to Iowa City to see the Varcoes and ride on a pontoon, all while mom stayed home by herself. Not sure the last time I was in our house alone all day.



Such concentration
Two Captains of a kind:)
Healthy snacks on the way home with dad
"Playing" with Lou - How this cat lets him do what they do is beyond me. Covered with Evan's blanket and pushing his head through the spindles.

Testing out the baby chair - I think it will work!
Look familiar?!
I will do another blog with Evan's big school day coming up - too much to write about!

Love,
Nick, Amy, Evan, Wyatt, Tre and Lou
