How in the world did my kiddos grow up so fast!??
Lucas turned 4 this year and Jack turned 2. We had celebrations at Grammy & Grandma's in Ohio. Here are a few pics:
We also got a "Cousins" picture with Grammy's kiddos...it came out so great!!
OK OK...I apologize. It has been 8 weeks since I've updated and that is just not ok! I will spare you 8 weeks worth of pictures...and share just a few!
We are 34 weeks now and moving right along! We have another ultrasound tomorrow just to insure that baby is HEAD DOWN and ready to rock and roll! My belly seems to be getting bigger and tighter as the days go on and I keep getting slower and slower. LOL I don't really remember feeling this tired and incapable of regular activity while pregnant with Jack...but as my mother says I am "2 years older" now. Great...LOL
So here are some pictures:
28 weeeks
31 Weeks Pregnant
34 Weeks Pregnant
We're just moving right along! I have both Mom and Kathy's flights booked for the delivery. Mom will stay with me for 2 weeks and Kathy will come back after the holidays! God is just blessing us!!
So just doing a little research today and came to realize that we are JUST ABOUT READY to start that 3rd Trimester!
Here's a little baby ticker so you can follow along....
and the latest "bump" picture! 26 weeks and counting!
Ok, ok. I know I PROMISED to keep this updated...but laziness (in this area) has taken over and it just hasn't happened! However, for the most part if you are on my FB page, you've seen a lot of the updates!
Baby is GROWING! I think my last update showed me at 15 weeks. Well...I am 22.5 weeks now and still feeling great! It's hard for me to NOT look back and see the differences between my belly now and with Jack and Lucas...So let's take a look...shall we??
Me @ 23 weeks with Lucas, Then with Jack, and now with baby #3...Big, Bigger...BIGGER! :)
OH well, I am feeling great! :) And just to catch you up.... I always do a picture on my birthday...it started when I was pregnant for Lucas in 2009 and then every year after. This was this year's picture...pregnant, again! It's been every other year since 2009 :)
The boys are growing like weeds...as you can see, and Jack got his FIRST OFFICIAL BIG BOY HAIRCUT! Now we've cut his hair before, always maintaining those luscious curls...but enough was enough as his hair is thick and it is HOT this summer!
Isn't he a doll??
BEFORE (very messy...but oh so curly!)
And after...no curls...but OH SO CUTE!! :) He really is a doll!
Lucas is so excited about the baby. He tells everyone that there is a baby in mommy's belly and he switches back and forth between whether it is a boy or a girl. He knows what a brother is, but doesn't quite get what a sister is...so asking him if he is going to have a baby sister kinda confuses him! LOL Well, we'll just keep everyone guessing until baby arrives...around December 9th...because we don't find out the gender! Isn't this picture so cute though? He got his VERY OWN picture of the baby when we went for our last ultrasound!
Such a proud big brother!!
Lucas has also learned how to ride a bike! He rode his pedal-less balance bike for about 6 weeks and then our friend Tom put his "big boy" bike together for him. I had to CONVINCE Tom that the training wheels were NOT NEEDED and am happy to say, Lucas never used them! 20 minutes at the back of our property and he was riding well. 2 weeks later he is a CHAMP...looks around when riding, turns on a dime, stops even with his pedal brakes now! There is a good sized hill on the property here and he braved going down it for the first time this week. He was a little too thrilled at the end and ended up in Daddy's arms...but we were soooo very proud of him!!
This is a short video of him on his FIRST DAY!! I am so proud of him!
Lucas and Jack are loving to read, they ask to read books daily now! Grandma gave Lucas a Dinosaur book that was Grandpa's and he looks at it every day. Jack is more fascinated with this Potty book...the first time Jacob read it to him he was nearly hysterical because of the silly-ness of the book. I was able to snag some footage of the reading...enjoy :)
Jack isn't wanting to 'do' the potty...but he talks about it an awful lot! I'm ready when he is! :)
All in all, life is good with the Scotts in NY. We are adjusting very well, the people here are so nice, no matter what you've heard about NYers...these people do NOT fit the nasty bill. It is quiet, and serene here. We live kinda in the country and close to the beach at the same time!
Don't worry, we won't be putting down roots here...as OHIO is our home...but it's where God has us for now, and we're happy with that!
So...I promise to try to keep this more updated...
Jacob took the boys to the beach today...for the first time in swim suits I might add and they had a really good time! They told me they loved the sand more than the water...but Jacob also said the water was cold. I am excited to go with them next weekend when my mom is here!
I am so excited that I have finally turned the corner! Whew...the 1st trimester is a hard one! :) We've had friends here from Ohio for the past few days and it has been so nice to actually ENJOY that time with them, instead of laying around trying to not feel yucky!! My mom comes on Thursday...and I am OVERJOYED!! I can NOT wait to HUG HER NECK!! :) She is such a blessing to me!!
So cheers to feeling great...here's a 15 week picture...and YES that IS me rocking another MereDee Design!! :) (My friend Meredith is so talented...and such a blessing for sending this with our friends so I could look super cute preggie :) xxoo Mer!)
Well today marks Day 1 of the 2nd Trimester! I can't tell you how excited I am to FINALLY say that! The 1st trimester is never really my favorite part...and I am happy to say it is behind me! What I guess I didn't expect, or remember, is that with the 2nd Trimester comes the belly. Not that I'm showing too much...but with Lucas I didn't even think about maternity clothing until 20 weeks. And with Jack I guess it was about the same time...but I was much smaller at the same time! (I even wore the same shirt to prove it!)
All the same, I'm glad to be growing, because that means little baby is too!
Lucas is getting excited as he asks a lot if he can hold the baby in my belly...and I keep telling him he can, when it's time. Jack says "baby" and he is practicing the names which are Katie if it's a girl and Isaac if it's a boy. He can say Katie but he calls Isaac Ike-y and I think it's adorable :)
So here's to the 2nd trimester...may it go smoothly! :) Baby is due 12-11-13.
