Last weekend Jonathan took the big boys to the Seattle Aquarium while Silas joined me at a friend’s baby shower. They had a great time checking out the marine life together and finished off the day with a nice seafood lunch!

Here’s a collection of pictures from April. This first one is from Jonathan’s birthday. We had blueberry pancakes for breakfast. Kieron loved flipping the pancakes!

We went to our second Caspar Babypants concert early in the month. Chris Ballew, of the band “The Presidents of the United States of America” is the singer. He’s got great children’s music, which Avery and Kieron (and Jonathan and I) really like.

I just love his smile!

Avery and Kieron each have little baby dolls (my old dolls) they like to take care of now that Silas is here. They’re so cute, both burping, swaddling, and cuddling their little dolls!
We’ve had some beautiful weather lately. The boys have had a lot of fun playing in the backyard together.

Getting caught up on blogging. Here are some pictures from Easter weekend, which turned out to be a beautiful one!

Our newest family member was born at 9:44 AM on 3/1/12. He weighed an even 9 pounds, and measured 19 1/4 inches. We’re so thrilled to finally meet him, and are enjoying getting to know him.
A few pictures from his birthday.
As I write this, I am currently 38 weeks and 2 days along – almost there! I’m so glad we had the forethought to take a few bump shots last weekend. It’s so much easier to get this stuff done when it’s the first child, or even the second, but we’re trying our best to make sure baby boy #3 is well documented!
I figure now is a good time to share a few of the details of this pregnancy. It has surely been the hardest, mostly because a) I was nauseous for the first trimester, which I hadn’t had the joy of experiencing before, and b) I was taking care of not one, but two active children while pregnant this time around. So far this baby has distinguished himself by being super strong and active. I don’t recall Avery or Kieron being such kickers! And although I’m measuring right on each week at the OB’s, I could swear he’s going to be a giant!
It’s fun to muse about what this little boy will be like and look like. Avery and Kieron are both so unique and different from one another. And each seems like a pretty even split between myself and Jonathan, but in completely different ways. Will this one be more like Avery or Kieron, or another totally different combination? As the day gets nearer, we’re more and more excited to find out, and can’t wait to meet our new addition the the family!
Meanwhile…
