26 week baby number 3 |
We have lived in so many places over the past several years this is our best attempt at staying in touch and keeping everyone we've met, lived near, see too little of or just don't get a chance to catch up with often, up to date with our family.

By far, the two favorite gifts given to Lorelei by Mommy and Daddy! I just love these photos. Dress up is their favorite activity and they were in 7th heaven wearing these new outfits! Lorelei was nice enough to "give" one to Charlotte to use!
Today Lorelei had her Preschool Open House! We met her teachers, classmates and explored all of the fun activities. Lorelei had so much fun showing Daddy and Charlotte around since she and Mommy had already been for a visit. Lorelei starts this coming Tuesday and is SO excited. She keeps asking, "I get to go by myself, right?" We'll see if this confidence lasts!
Happy, Happy Birthday our darling little girl! Four years has sure flown by.

What a day! Thanks to all who joined us for Matt's surprise day of floating down the Mokelumne River in tubes! Boy was it cold! A high of 75 with a chance of rain in late August? What? Regardless, everyone sucked it up and put their butts in the water in honor of Matt. Everyone had a blast and we hope to make this an annual event (but with warmer weather next year!).

Here are a few belly shots from almost 29 weeks! We're getting there! I am trying to take it easy to keep this little one in a bit longer! "Bedrest", modified or not, is not my idea of a good time. But this little gal is worth it!

As most of you know, I have a small business, Punkiboo Designs. I hand paint fun and funky images on organic cotton baby onesies and try to sell them at a reasonable price: $25. My onesies are available on etsy.com at www.etsy.com/shop/punkiboo.....but so are other "hand painted" onesies. Most are amazing. But here is one that sells for $14. Yikes. First of all, puff paint is no longer a "must have" in the world of art supplies(or wardrobes)and secondly, it looks like a really badly decorated Safeway birthday cake! I don't mean to sound like a jerk or to sound like I am a critically acclaimed professional artist (which I am not) who sells hundreds of pieces of clothing every week. I am SO far from that. I am just a stay at home mom who loves art and creating one-of-a-kind baby apparal (while making some money) selling what I believe to be a quality product. I only mean to avoid my "hand painted" shirts from being grouped with preschool arts and crafts. Take my advice...pay the extra 11 dollars. Yikes.

For as much as our girls argue and annoy one another, they really are great friends and playmates!

Here is a "Battle of the Bellies" photo of myself and my friend Laurie who is ten weeks ahead of me! She is expecting her second boy, and of course you know that we are expecting our third girl!
All is well with the Baker clan...Matt started his new job at PG&E and LOVES it! We are so thankful! The girls are finishing up their last week of swimming lessons. Lorelei is a little fish! She does a great freestyle stroke and is working on her side breathing. Diving for rings is her favorite activity in the pool! Charlotte is still mastering the art of closing her mouth when she goes under the water but she LOVES to "monkey crawl", working her way around the edge of the pool hand over hand. She also is quite good at floating and jumping to her instructor. Matt and I celebrated our fifth anniversary this past week and enjoyed a kid-free "stay-cation" this pas weekend! The kiddos were shared between the grandparents and Matt and I spent the mornings sleeping in and the days filled with whatever we wanted to do! We saw a great movie: Inception, and had some great dinners out in downtown Lodi. We even sat in a Boarders Bookstore with our coffees and read for hours....because we could! What a nice time it was but it was even nicer to get our girls back!
A couple of weekends ago we took the girls camping for one night out in the delta. We went with our friends/neighbors the Espinosas and their two girls Kloee and Annalisa! What a blast we had. Even though it took quite a while for our girls to settle down and go to sleep in our tent, everyone had a great time roasting marshmallows, playing down at the river and digging in the dirt!
Tyler, Matt's best man from his wedding came to visit us several weeks ago from Manhattan where he is an FBI agent. We LOVED spending time with him even if the visit was short. The girls fell in love with him (typical reaction of females to Tyler's presence). We were sad to see him go but are hoping to take up his offer for a free place to stay in New York soon!
Times have been busy but fun...and they will only be getting busier I expect!

We've rounding the 20 week, "half-way" mark and are flying through our fifth month of pregnancy! WOW. In less than four months we will be meeting our little baby girl. Hard to believe! Another thing that is hard to believe is my belly! Man oh man. I don't remember being so pregnant looking at this point during my other pregnancies. I am starting to worry about where the next 18 weeks are going to fit! I posted some photos here of my belly during week 21 (self-portraits in the mirror) and some very brave swimsuit belly shots from this week (into our 23rd week now). I may regret these. Oh well. Anyway, I am feeling well and despite some heartburn and tossing and turning during the nights while trying to find a comfortable position for both me and the baby, things are going well! We will keep you posted!
