~RIDING ON THE PUMPKIN TRAIN!
Mac turned 4 on Thursday, I can't believe how big he has gotten. He was so excited on his birthday he ran upstairs and said " Mommy, I am 4 now!" and then he ran over to Jason and told him the exact same thing. Jason's cousin Sam had spent the night and when he woke up he told Sam "Sam, I am so glad it is my birthday, now everyone has to say Happy Birthday to me!" His birthday started out on Wednesday at School, they had a birthday celebration for him and he was able to bring a treat to share. When he got home from School, Grandma Barb and Aunt Carly had come to celebrate the big day with him. Thursday we went to Klackles to get pumpkins with Grandma Barb, Aunt Carly, Cousin Sam, Jason, Mac, Jayce and I. When we got home we had pizza and cake with his team (cousins, David, Joseph, Jeb, Abe, and Eli.) What a day! Daddy also surprised Mac with a new Wii and a new Wii game (Little League World Series!) Boy, was Mac in heaven. We finished up on Saturday, we spent the evening and night at the Marriot downtown Grand Rapids where Aunt Katie, Uncle James, Mason, Grandma Julie, Emmie, Sarah, Ruby, Aiden and Cathy joined us for dinner and swimming. Thanks to everyone for the wonderful presents and company. I can't believe how time flys, it seems just yesterday he was born. I will never forget his little pumpkin hat that the hospital gave him. He has grown into one of the funniest, caring and adventurous little boys, we could not be more proud of him. WE LOVE YOU MAC!!!
I will post more pictures soon, my camera battery died so my mom is going to email me hers when she gets them onto her computer!!
I had an apt with Dr. Murphy and everything is still looking really good. I am 24 weeks now and I can't believe how fast this pregnancy has gone. We still have so much to do before she comes. My next appointment they will do the glucola test, just to make sure I don't have gestastional diabetes. Dr. Murphy told me they are also going to schedule my c-section at my next appointment too, holy crap!!! I really hope I make it to my scheduled date this time, I didn't with Jayce. She has really started to move around alot which makes me feel really good. The boys seemed to move around much more than she does, maybe she will be really laid back!! Lets hope so. We have started on the closet in the boys room and Jason finished that up last night. It looks really nice! Our next project is moving Jayce into Mac's room so we can start decorating the nursery in PINK!! Mac asked me this morning how much longer til the baby comes out, he is so excited for her to be here. He tells everyone that his baby is a girl, I am glad he is excited for her to come. Jayce doesn't quite get it yet, although he really likes his little friends Sophie Rinehart and Samantha Lundberg, he always wants to give them hugs and tries to pick them up. Only 16 more weeks, we can't wait to meet her.
Jason and Mac went to the Michigan State game on Saturday. They had a very fun time together. Mac is such a sports nut, he really is just like Jason. They had great seats too, right on the 30 yard line next to the student section. I am sure Mac picked up on some great chants, being so close to the students. We are just waiting for one to slip out! None have so far. He was excited to tell me that Michigan State kicked the hawkeyes bumbs. Before the game they ran into our friends the Mannors, Aiden and Mac are great buddies that go to school and daycare together. They had fun tailgating together.
