5 Years Married!

Happy 5 year wedding anniversary to us!

I remember our wedding day to be one of the funnest, happiest days of my entire life.  Philip's genuine smile and sweetness that day is something I hope I continue to always recall so vividly.
Thank you God for him!
10 years together... 2 kids later... 32 weeks pregnant on #3
and
I got crazy and thought that a maternity/wedding anniversary photo shoot would be a cool way to commemorate this time in our lives.

Why I thought it'd be a good idea to photograph myself at 8 months pregnant and gigantic and too swollen to even wear my wedding rings?

Well pretty much because of Holi Powder.

It looked really fun, and as long as you can manage not to snort or swallow any, it totally is fun!

So we went for it.

My good friend Sunshine @ Jacky Ro Photography came and took some beautiful shots of us throwing this stuff at each other.

Other than our tendency to be awkward.......and Philip's tendency to be sneaky and unpredictable, we got some cute pictures of us playing like children.
I should be embarrassed to share these shots of me at the biggest I've ever been, ever, but I'm going to just bank on it's only going to be that way for 1, maybe 2 more months.
Besides on my 5th wedding anniversary.........
this was us. and this is how I looked. and since it's not the prettiest, why not cover it up with Holi powder and call it art?
 

Okay, well if that was stretching it... at least calling my husband incredibly hot in multicolor isn't.

Because.....

baby you are so sexy with a yellow mustache.
boww owwwwwwwwwww

and while I do feel like I've spent the most of our married years pregnant and pregnant aaaaand pregnant, I feel like I've been blessed enough to feel so much abundant love over and over again multiplied each day.

I love you, husband.
Happy Anniversary, and thank you for letting me throw paint powder at your face.

That was fun.

Quick Little Update

I'm 32 weeks pregnant today! I had another doctor's appointment, and this was a fun one since I got to have an ultrasound and see the baby! 

He's head down, and looking like he weighs about 4lbs 6oz, which is in the 56th percentile for his gestational age.I'm still measuring at 34 weeks, but we learned today that it's due to my high fluid level.

My level is at 25, which is a little high according to my doctor. He said they start to get concerned about preterm labor when the fluid level gets to be about 30. I should be fine though, everything else checks out right on key and both baby and me are healthy!

Adeline has been getting into the baby mood with me. She's been learning all about baby Jesus and his birthday lately, and I think that along with everything we've been preparing for baby brother totally has her in baby mode. She puts all of her dolls and toys to sleep and feeds them and rocks them, and it's just the sweetest thing. We talk about and pray for brother all the time, and although I'm not sure if she really understands his reality, she sure is seeming to be a good big sister so far! Now we'll see what she does when he actually gets here.

On another note, on the account of me actually getting dressed to leave the house today, Adeline and I headed into town to have lunch with my dad, brother, and sister. 

Squiggy was surprisingly well behaved and extra cute, so she got a candy cane from the waitress. 

I'm glad the waitress was in a pleasant mood, because everyone else in town certainly seemed to be a bunch of grumpy pants! Traffic was so cutthroat and hostile, I couldn't wait to get home and back on the couch.

Now I know I haven't been in my usual holiday jolly mood, but I hope people are nicer in their homes than they are in their cars! Sheeesh! 

Oh Well.
Hope you're all having a Merry Eve of Christmas Eve.
