Clamming video

Henri putting clams in moms bucket for her.





don't let Henri's serious look fool you, he couldn't get enough of his one-man see-saw...

Figuring out how to upload video from new camera

I got a new camera, details on that later, but hopefully my pictures are clearer and better.  I think I'm finally figuring out how to get the video off it, here are a few I took of Henri over the weekend.

Pregancy update: 31 weeks

Well, 32 on Tuesday.

Last appt baby was growing well, she's probably between 3.5 and 4 pounds right now.  Measuring 4-6 days ahead, which is a great thing in case this blood pressure thing skyrockets and we have to deliver early, gives us almost an extra week.

The blood pressure is slowly climbing.  Last week Sun-Wed it was pretty high.  (I have a home monitor and measure everyday because I'm always in a rush at the Dr. it's high) But thurs-Saturday it was terrific so when I saw the Dr. on Monday she decided to sit and wait until my appt in 2 weeks unless I get several high days in between.  She also did not mention bedrest, rather that she'd increase my medication.  I'm guessing she's figured bedrest with two kids on summer vacation is not really practical!

This week it has not been great, but not horrible, either, so I'm trying to take it easy when I can.  Paul is now the official vacuumer (it's REALLY heavy, esp with all the stairs in our house) and Lawn Mower (the mower is heavy and really hard on the carpel tunnel). 

My carpel tunnel is also getting worse.  Paul actually had to finish dressing Henri for me in the morning the other day (it's worst when I first wake up)

A few belly pics, the one looking down you'll notice it's not nice and round due to the tumor removal that happened between Carter & Henri's births, my poor belly button is clear off to the right side, lol!

Oh, and though we are narrowing the field of names we still do not have one for baby girl :)

Kari's visit-the boat

Mom & Dad, Bryan, John & Kari and all the kids and I went on their boat.  After they tried to get the boat out of the garage without opening it completely! Henri LOVED all the outdoor activity.


On Gedney Island, we went clam digging...

Kari supervised the operation...

Kari's visit

Kari is out visiting us from Chicago.  While Carter was at school Friday, Henri and I took her to Pike Place for chowder... this guy was hula hooping and playing the guitar.

We had chowder at Pike Place Chowder in Post Alley

Blog update-around the house

Paul's teaching Henri the basics of baseball.

Carter graduated from preschool.  They have a movie and pajama day Monday, then a 1/2 day Wed before being officially out for the summer.

Henri's making sure the lawn is kept up.

The kids have been enjoying the more frequent days of sun around here...

Blog catchup-first up cute pics of kids

I got a new camera, so here's some cute pictures of the kids!

Carter loves matching pajamas so when we went to the outlets he picked out some crab ones for Henri.
