Yep, today is baby post’s due date but we’re still waiting for our world to change! The good news is that we know we have less than a week to wait. We have a scheduled induction for next Thursday the 13th should baby decide not to come out on his/her own! Becky is hanging in there, pretty uncomfortable and starting to get a little cold or allergies or something. We’ll keep everyone posted if anything develops.

Well, we are now down to 4 days to our due date, but like everybody knows most babies don’t come on that date anyway.  So, I guess you could say that we have anywhere from hours to another couple of weeks before this baby decides to make its grand entrance into this world.  As promised, here’s my latest picture at 39 weeks.  Do I look ready or what?!?!

So last night Becky was having some contractions. They seemed to be slightly more intense than the Braxton-Hicks (BH) contractions she had been having so we were pretty excited…although Becky didn’t want to have a leap baby! So before we went to bed I was timing them, and then at about 2 am, she started having more of them so I..ahem…timed those as well. But it was dark, and I was tired because I didn’t come to bed until 12am. So I tried to stay awake, but I really ended up dozing off the 10-min or so between contractions. In the end, the contractions stopped about 5 am and we went to sleep until Felicity woke us a little before 7. So when we got up this morning, Becky and I both had a pretty good laugh at the paper I was writing the contractions down on! LOL!

Felicity really likes watching YouTube videos with us. She likes cute animal ones and funny kid ones. Here is one of her favorites. I tried to embed two of them, but the second one I wasn’t able to so I’ll link there in stead - Felicity’s Favorite "Blood" Video (not really about blood). Happy Friday.

Well, I am still pregnant! I am getting very anxious to have this baby make his/her arrival, but he/she just doesn’t seem to want to make it yet. Yesterday I reached a very big milestone . . . SINGLE DIGITS!! As of today I only have 8, yep that’s right 8 more days until my due date. Although at this rate I am sure I am still in double digits until the day the baby is actually born! Oh well, he/she has to come out sometime! I plan to get another picture of me and my very heavy, back hurting belly very soon (hopefully tomorrow). When I do I will be sure to post another blog.

Randy has also posted the rest of the pregnancy pictures that I had take by Michelle Molnar (or her blog). Look under the photos tab for them. They are not all of them, just our favorites.

  I envisioned that song playing in the background of this post, but when I told Becky about my idea, she just rolled her eyes!

I got my first pair of glasses. I need them for distance right now, driving (especially at night) and perhaps most importantly, watching U of A basketball games! Do you think they make me look more smarter?

Happy friday! Hope you have lots of laughs this weekend.

I saw this on the Ellen DeGeneres show.  Someone on her staff found the video and then Ellen created her on version.  Her version was pretty funny, but when I found the full clip on YouTube, I decided that the original of course is better.  This is so darn funny, I couldn’t stop laughing.  Who came up with this game?  Seriously!  I hope that you find it just as funny.  Have a good Friday!!!

Well Jennifer, you asked so here you go! Actually we were quite a bit behind in posting Becky’s pregnancy pictures. I updated the pictures in the Baby 2 - Ultrasound and Preggie Pics photo set, so go check them out. Just for kicks, I put the whole series of photos below so you can watch the bump grow. Also, about a month ago, I took some portraits of Becky, similar to what we did with Felicity. They turned out very cute. But about two weeks ago, one of our friends, Michele Molnar, came over and took some MUCH better portraits of Becky. She was working on building her portfolio. She gave us a DVD with all the photos on it, and as soon as Becky tells me which ones I can post, I’ll do that. In the meantime you can see them on Michele’s Blog.

This is my catch-up post for the last couple weeks of cute Felicity stuff.

A couple weeks ago on some Friday or Saturday when I was around during her nap, we struggled with her a little to get her to go down, but after a while it was quiet in there, so we just let her be. When she woke up, Becky and I went in there to cuddle on her bed. Eventually I looked down and noticed that the pants she was wearing were not the same ones she had on when we put her down. As it turns out, she decided she needed to take off her pants and underwear and put on new ones (both were backwards). Non only that, but she picked out her frilly socks to wear also and put her new tennis shoes on (wrong feet of course). She did all this, and then eventually ended up back in bed and fell asleep for her nap!

Another cute/not-so-cute/devious thing she has started doing is that when I tell her she can’t do something, like jump on the bed, or get out of bed after lights out or something along those lines, she will very obviously tell me “go away Daddy”, even giving me the “talk to the hand” gesture. It was pretty clear to me that she just wanted me to go away so she could do what I was telling her she couldn’t do. I even asked her if that’s why she wanted me to go one time and she said yes! Becky says she doesn’t really do that with her, but she is certainly giving us a little attitude now.

In the past couple of weeks she has finally started showing an interest in her alphabet letters. She started paying attention to the letter of the day on Sesame Street, and she uses the little leap frog refrigerator letters now. She is only up to about 5 or so that she knows, but she’s doing very well so far and picking up new ones pretty quickly. Her favorite letter is W. She points them out in her books and on signs and stuff (we pass Walgreens and Wal-Mart almost anytime we go anywhere!). It’s pretty funny when we let her read books in her bed before lights out at night, she will find a W and call out “guys, come here” and then “close your eyes” and then point to the W and tell us to open them to see her W, she is so proud!

This past weekend, Becky was lying around on our bed with Felicity. She started pinching Felicity’s butt. Felicity told her to stop, saying “that’s not your job”. Becky asked her “what is my job?” to which Felicity responded “to love me.” I’m sure one of us must have said something like that to her at some point, but it was so spontaneous and cute!

Finally, lately she has been really into Band-Aids whenever she gets the slightest bump, bruise or scrape. Most of the time its not worth fighting with her over it. But today I think she learned her lesson. Becky had to take of the two on her forehead and cheek and they both hurt quite a bit.
