They do rest...

Eventually my kids rest, but after doing all this activity how could you not?! 

We also had Bria's baptism last weekend and Nick and I are the proud Godparents to this cutie.

And they are down. For now.

We also had a baby check up today and the heart rate was 137 and very low and was making the nurse chase them around. What else would we expect?! :)

Love,
Nick, Amy, Evan and Wyatt and Baby #3

Baby #3 is sleepy and healthy

It was a big day today and one we got to share with Grandma Lois. We had our big ultrasound, 21 weeks today.

Baby's heart rate was 139 and isn't a morning person - score for mom! We had the greatest time just watching baby yawn, stretch and try to wake up for a good 30 minutes. A few moments baby would kick and you could see it on the screen and I could feel it simultaneously which is always fun. Of course baby is measuring ahead -only three days, but why wouldn't I have a big baby??

Here are the pictures from this morning, hard to see some, but most are actually pretty clear. Tech said baby was very photogenic today. Click on the pictures to see bigger.

Check out the last row on the left- the picture is of baby yawning, but honestly it looks like baby is fists up ready to go rounds and yelling.

All looks healthy and that is all we can ask for right now. I think baby looked super calm and sweet - which is also what we can ask for:)

Evan and Wyatt's 20 week ultrasound updates:
Wyatt:
Love laying face up. was really snuggling into mom's belly. Hands were in a fist most of the time we were watching. Must realize its going to have to come out fighting! Tech said she was chasing the little one and he was very active. BUSY BUSY BUSY were her exact words! Baby weighed 344 grams or approximately .75 pounds. heartbeat was 144 beats per minute.

Evan's:
Baby was very active today so it got a little harder for the ultrasound tech as our appointment went on...Their face is nuzzled in next to the placenta so it is hard to get a front view. Heart beat 141.

Love,
Nick, Amy, Evan, Wyatt and Baby #3 (Tre)

Football and Friends

The boys have been outside non-stop and love it. We have finally got some flag football games in as well, which Evan loves. More baseball to come as well.  

My sweet lil Wyatt with Finley - cheering on their brothers.

Warm weather fun

I don't think I have ever been so ready for warm weather. These boys and mama are ready!

Ice cream on a 90 degree day - finally!

Visiting the park - finally!

Finley and Wyatt watching big brothers Drake and Evan play baseball

Between flag football and baseball for Evan - May and June will be busy. Wyatt enjoys making me chase him around the fields and be where Nick and Evan are all the time. Wyatt also is a dare devil with no fear and made Grandma and Grandpa nervous with a fall and a quick trip to urgent care, but nothing a little ice cream couldn't fix. The very next day the kid jumps off the tallest bench of the bleachers and says "I jump!" yep ER is next in our future.

Enjoy the summer!

5 years ago today

 Flash back Friday -

Five years ago today Evan was recovering at Blank Children's Hospital. http://www.babyvarcoe.blogspot.com/2009/05/evan-update.html

How time flies to him heading to kindergarten this fall.

Thankful for smart doctors that is for sure!

Easter, Baby Noah and check ups

Lindsay and Ben had their baby, Noah Benjamin on April 16 and he is healthy as can be at 9lbs 6 oz. 

21.5". We got to meet him on Friday and celebrate Easter with the Varcoe/Keating side this year.

We also had Evan's 5 year check up. He continues on the tall side of life - 85% for height and 83% for weight. 47lbs and 45" tall. He is picture perfect for health.

We had a baby appointment today too and baby's heart beat was 155 and all looks good.

Wyatt and Noah - Wyatt LOVES babies so much and is so sweet with them.

Learning how to bat left-handed from Grandma Kate

Erin can't wait to drive a mini-van! Her and Wyatt were pretending to go to Pizza Ranch in the grocery getter.

And the weekend was over - and none too soon for this guy who fell asleep at 6 p.m. on the ride home and had to wake him up at 8 a.m. this morning after a brief bath last night. Easter is exhausting apparently.
