This Week...

...we had a pretty busy week! It started out slow and then got crazy as usual.


...we are 38 weeks pregnant. Grace should be totally ready to come and should be around 7 pounds, 11 ounces. We've been trying EVERYTHING this week to get her to come early. We've walked miles and miles, I've been drinking my raspberry tea twice a day, and I've been bouncing on an exercise ball as much as possible. This kid just does not want to come!

...we had a doctor's appointment Wednesday. This time I was 2 cm. Not much of a difference, but there was definitely progress which is good. The baby is still VERY high. I don't think she'll drop before she comes. She likes to keep her feet right up next to my ribs, and every once in a while she'll roll to one side and stick her little bottom out. It's pretty weird to be able to tell which body parts are the ones causing all of the commotion now.

...we made a tough decision, but decided to let Jojo Kitty move in with my sister. Since we got Isabel, Jojo pretty much just sleeps in our closet all day, every day. At night when Izzie goes to bed in her kennel, he would come sleep in bed with us until Isaac kicked him off. I started to feel really bad for him because he was alone all of the time. Then it occurred to me that when the baby comes, he won't be able to sleep in our room at all. We'll have to keep him out of there when the baby is asleep and then what will he do? So it just made more sense for Jeni to let him move in with her. He seems to be enjoying his freedom without a puppy chasing him all over. I made sure to tell Jeni that if, in a year or two when Grace gets bigger, I want him back, she has to let me have him. Although I have a feeling he'll be just fine and much happier over there!

...Isaac had fun taking pictures of Isabel with the camera. As you can tell by the last picture, I was on the phone, and I think he and Isabel were getting irritated waiting for me.





...we spent a lot of time just relaxing and enjoying one of or quite possibly OUR LAST weekend as a couple. Soon we will be a family :)


...we got the car seats installed in both of our cars!!

...our hospital bag is packed along with Grace's diaper bag and carrier. We are completely ready for her now. So c'mon Grace!!

...Char was sleeping so peacefully Monday morning that I didn't want to wake her up. ...she made me a pretty picture at school with chalk. ...she continued her obsession with the easel and colored (and watched Toy Story ) while waiting for Daddy to get home from work. Hooray for panties! ...it got cold and windy again, but we played outside anyways. Isaac played catch with the neighbor boys, while JJ flew the kite and Char strutted her stuff. ...the girls danced around the living room. There is an iTunes Radio station called 'Frozen Radio' that the girls are crazy about. They play random Disney songs, and we listen to it all.the.time. (After watching this a few times, I realized that Char was trying to sing "friend in" as in "You've Got a Friend In Me".) ...Grace put Charley to bed by tickling her face. ...the girls got cake pops. Yep, for breakfast. ...we got to school a few minute...

Can you believe Grace is nineteen months old? Time flies so much faster when you have a baby! This month she got to go see Dr. Vu for a check-up and didn't even have to get any shots. She was super excited hanging out in the waiting room and even learned how to say "cars": At nineteen months, Grace weighs in at 26 pounds, 4 ounces. This puts her in the seventy-fifth percentile for weight. We absolutely love that she's so squishy. It's makes it much more fun to smother her cheeks with kisses. She is also 31 inches tall. This is in the sixtieth percentile. Baby must have gone through a growth spurt since her last check up, because she was only in the thirtieth percentile back then. This month Grace learned a lot of new words. My favorite is when we say her bedtime prayers and at the end she says, "aaaamennn". It's so precious! She's now obsessed with Elmo and says "Ah Ehmo?" for "Where's Elmo?". She's also go...

Charley turns FIVE!

Char Char, the five year old. That doesn't even seem real. This girl has grown and changed so much over the past couple of months. She's lost her toddler look and is total big girl status these days. (She does still have her chipmunk voice, so at least I can hang on to that.) Charley will be starting Kindergarten soon, and we have her orientation this upcoming weekend. I'm not ready for that. With Grace, I was so excited. Charley still feels like a baby to me. She, on the other hand, cannot wait to join her big sis and the Sebastian boys at school every day. Charley recently had a doctor's appointment where they told her she didn't need any shots, and she was so happy after anticipating them all day. She weighed in at forty pounds and stands forty-four inches tall. She's in the fiftieth percentile for weight and the seventy-fifth for height. She is in size five in almost everything and is wearing a size ten in shoes. Char loves her dresses a...
