Bye-Bye Lydia



Friday was my last day of work and Lydia's last day with us. She has spent the last two months living with us and had to go back home this weekend. What a big help it was having her here looking after Keely and helping me out on those nights when I was just beat. Brent had a lot of fun getting to pick on a 16 year old. I was able to get a glimpse to what the future will hold for Keely, poor thing doesn't know what she's in for. Although Keely won't remember when her cousin lived with us and took care of her, we were able to capture a lot of fun moments on camera that she will be able to look back on.

30 WEEKS!

Are you kidding me, we're at 30 weeks already! I can't believe how this pregnancy has flown by so fast. Now here we are with only 10 weeks left, if I make it that long! Something tells me this little guy will make his world debut before "D" day. I'm still feeling good, although this pregnancy is nothing like Keely's. Many of the common aches and pains associated with pregnancy I am fortunate to say I didn't really experience the first go around. However, not the same this time around. *DISCLOSURE* I am about to do some major whining, if you don't want to hear it just don't read. This time around I have the wonderful back pain. Oh the back pain! It doesn't seem like I can get much relief other than lay flat on my back for about 45 minutes, but who has time for that. Another new symptom for me is the never ending bathroom runs. They say boys carry different than girls and they are right. He is VERY active though and that is so much fun. Brent gets to feel so much more movement with this little guy than Keely, she liked to play hide and seek with Daddy (and still does).

I had my 30 week check up yesterday. We are now going every two weeks until the last month when we'll be at every week. I'm still measuring right where I should be, between 30-31 weeks. Brayden was active for the midwife during the check-up which was more good news, showing her a very healthy baby. His heart rate was at 136 BPM. Good reports from the midwife saying everything still looks great and both Baby and myself are right where we should be.

On another note, here is a look at Keely's day today with Lydia. I think these two are just having way too much fun together. Looks like Lydia really wore Keely out. Keely was in her jumperoo and Lydia left for a minute...when she returned this is how she found her...

Poor thing was so tired she didn't even budge when she took her out of the jumperoo...

Needless to say this little girl was out and took a 3 1/2 hour nap! She was a very happy girl when she woke up.

Keely and Lydia Time

This month I've been teaching Summer School and Keely's cousin Lydia has moved in for the month working as the live in sitter. Keely and Lydia have been having a lot of fun together during the days taking walks and playing different games at the house. Here are some of their moments together from the past couple weeks, the video is a little long but so hilarious.

Kids grow fast!

"Little mom" Domilyse taking care of cousin Keely.
Can you believe this? After two years in Italy these kids have shot past me. Yup, Lydia and Jaccob are now taller than me. Crazy how the time goes and how fast these kiddos grow. I was shocked to say the least seeing how much they've changed. It wasn't until we saw the kids that I realized how long we've been gone. So glad to be back in NM!!!
