Well we are at 31 weeks already. It is kind of scary that I only have 8 weeks left but very happy that it is almost over. It is just hard to move around and bend over, which I feel like I do constantly picking up after the girls and helping them with the potty. Which is not going as great as I hoped it would be by now. They do great for a day or two and then accidents a few times the next, then repeat.
Getting large. I realize that I seem to be in this shirt a lot for pictures. I don't have many that fit anymore. Sorry about that! As for the baby, we don't have a name picked still. Eric likes the name Colt but I can't decide how I feel about it. Any suggestions are welcome. The baby is very active most days and every time I lay down of course. He also gets the hiccups a lot just like Livy did. But from his ultrasound pics, not that they are very telling, he looks more like Rachel to me. So I'm really excited to see who he looks like, or maybe a mix! It's gone great so far and now we are on lock down at home for the next two months until he gets here because of swine flu fears on my part. Everything I read and hear is that it pregnant women are more susceptible to getting the swine flue and usually get hit harder by it due to compromised immune systems while pregnant and your lungs/diaphragm already under stress due to being so squished. Pregnant women are more likely to be hospitalized and so forth, bad news, bad news, bad news. So we have decided to play it as safe as we can and stay home as long as we can handle it. When I have to go shopping I go late at night when the store is pretty much empty. So if we aren't around much or don't hang with anyone sick please forgive us. Haven't decided whether I will get the vaccine for it or not. Scared of that too! Oh, what to do!
Trying on costumes when we pulled out Halloween stuff.
Painting pumpkins!
The girls are doing good so far and some times ask to go to the store but I am actually enjoying it so far. We are never rushed to go anywhere, it's easier with the potty stuff staying home, and we are getting a good dose of mommy and girls time before the baby gets here. A blessing in disguise!

I am so jealous that your ticker is now counting down days and mine is still counting weeks! I hope all continues to go well in these last few weeks.
I too am afraid of the all the flu stuff.
Your shower looked so fun. I'm sorry I missed it! April and Jamie always go all out.
Look at that cute belly...love it! I know being on "lock down" stinks, but not too much longer right? :) Now that we are feeling better over here we'll have to resume our playdates to help make the time go by a little faster... we've missed y'all. I'm sure Eric is loving the fact that you are home b/c you are spending less money. :) Hehe... Greg would love that too. Enjoy these moments with the girls b/c you will miss that one-on-one time after the baby comes... at least I sure did (in the begining) at least. You'll be spending more time at home when the baby arrives, so it's kinda good that you are home a lot right now getting them used to it, then the adjustment won't be as hard. Hang in there you're almost done..wohoo!!
You look great Jess! And sorry that the potty training thing isn't working out better, I guess we should rip up the flyers we made for potty training kids huh? hahaha. We will do round two with them when we get there in January. Thanks for the comments on our blog, we love reading them and all the cute things the girls are saying. Glad to know they miss us, because we miss them terribly. We are very excited to come back!! Can't wait to see you guys again and meet little Sherwin....wait, is that name off the table? ;)
I recognize that clown hair and nose. In fact I think I have even worn it out in public. I hope it was on Halloween, but I doubt it :)
That probably is really a blessing in disguise. To spend as much time with them as possible now. They are so so cute. I love the spongebob pics! haha. Did you finalize your costume ideas? since Halloween is 2 days awaay...i'm sure you have. Put pictures up. Wish we would have been there. Love you sis!
So the names I like for a boy (feel free to use whatever... we don't know the boy recipe) are Carson, Kaden, Devin, Daniel, Jordan, Samuel, Luke. As for swine flu, I have the same opinion. That stuff is scary!
