34 weeks and counting!

We are not too far away from Baby Baker #2. We still don't know if it's a boy or girl (for all those who keep asking -Tai) but we are excited either way. After my appointment next week, I will start going every week. I feel like the baby is dropping but who knows. I felt like that with Little Ron and he took forever to finally come. I have been feeling pretty well for the most part. When I start to get hungry, I have indigestion/heartburn and I really feel it around 10:30 at night. Other than that, this pregnancy is much like the first. Little Ron has been pretty nice and hasn't made me pick him up too much. We're still not sure if he knows what's going on but he does like to kiss my belly. I can't wait to see how he reacts when the baby finally is here. I am taking water aerobics this last month and that's been pretty good too. I love going to a 93 degree pool in the middle of winter. It makes me want one at home. We still haven't picked out names, I guess I am hoping it kind of comes to me. We have a bunch of ideas but it seems like the names we like, a bunch of other people do too! So, we'll have to wait and see!

Daddy, Oma and Opa

I love my da-da!

Awww....

Playing with blocks with Oma!
And of course, I have to play with Opa too!




Visitors!








Over the Christmas break, we had some friends stop over to visit and of course, watch the UFC fight (which was over in two minutes :). Little Ron had so much fun with Matthew and wouldn't leave his air mattress alone! The two stayed up until midnight while we played Phase 10. I came in second and almost won had it not been for a cheater!! Ron is always up for a game of Phase 10 so let us know if are up for the challenge. We can't wait for our annual meeting with the Cardens' and Gnadens' this summer. All of the kids are growing up so quickly!


All Bundled Up!




At first, he wasn't too happy with the snow but now Little Ron loves it. You can often find him walking up and down the block, even at night, with his shovel. He loves to fall in the snow only to have someone help him up. I know Big Ron definitely appreciates someone helping shovel the snow. Maybe I'll be able to help a little more next winter but it has been nice not having to brave the cold :)


Brushing Teeth







Our little guy loves to brush his teeth. You can find him doing this day and night and we don't even have to force him!! His pearly whites are so cute. I think he has about 8 teeth now. I would post a pic but it's hard for us to get a picture when he's showing them. Even though he didn't start getting teeth until 15 months, he has been steadily filling up his mouth. I hope he gets done soon though!

Pics of the House (upstairs)
















I've been promising pictures of the upstairs of our house, so here they are. It looks much better in person and if it's cleaned! All of the bedrooms are upstairs and we are currently getting ready for the baby. We went a couple of weekends ago to Babies R Us and picked out bedding for both a boy and girl (we couldn't decide on a neutral one). Therefore, we will eventually end up taking one back once we find out our surprise!
