Woo Hoo! It is officially spring break! lOvE this time of year! I love when the mornings are cool and then the afternoons are perfect! Walt has been working LONG hours...this was pretty much what he saw of his baby girl last week when he got home from work.... chunky lil' dumplin, isn't she?
this is a pic of Eloise last weekend when we had a little outing to Ikea for the first time. We purchased baby sister's new changing table there. Ikea is definitely an experience!
and since the weather has been so perfect we have been having a LOT of hammock time together. Eloise LOVES her hammock, and this is a guaranteed spot for a nap!
this weekend the weather was gorgeous! on saturday we took it pretty easy. we went to HEB and got our groceries for the week, daddy worked from home, took a nice little walk around the lake, cleaned the house, and Eloise and I spent a lot of time outside. she LOVES to be outside...she decided that she wanted a sip of my water and poured the entire drink on her body...so we just decided to go without pants!
on sunday we took our first trip to the ZOO! we had SO much fun! as I was going through the pictures I realized that I hardly took any pictures of animals...they were mostly of Eloise, but everyone knows what animals look like, right?! here is daddy and e before we left for the day....
we had out lunch at the zoo...yum!
eloise has no fear of animals we went to the petting zoo and she loved this little goat
momma and her big girl
this was right in front of the Lemur exhibit
watching the tiger
check out those lips...look closely oh baby
two peas in a pod
e loved the sea lions
she also loved riding on daddy's shoulders
checking out the elephants before we left
after leaving the zoo, we visited the park for a bit. we had to get back to our car and this was the nicest, most scenic route eloise has REALLY taken off as far as walking goes... it is so funny to watch. and just so you know...she does have shoes...she prefers to go without... my child for sure. (I have two videos at the bottom as well)
we had a great weekend I can't wait for this coming week! I will be going up to the school on tuesday to get things together for the sub that will be entering my classroom in about 6 1/2 weeks! AHHH!! Eloise is getting tubes put in on Thursday and we are going to try to get the nursery all done (try) Here I am at 32 weeks 5 days Doctor said she that unless baby comes earlier (which she thinks she will, but she thought the same thing about Eloise) I will be induced during the 39th week. (this is 6 weeks 2 days away!) we are still debating on a date because I really want to be in the classroom with my kids when they take the Math and Reading TAKS test. So...we will see what little Bass decides to do... But...you can tell by the pic, that I HAVE indeed, gained weight... I'm just ready to have two little girls to snuggle with!!
and like I said...here are two videos of Eloise just a walking away...she's quite possibly the cutest thing in the entire world....
I am just a little behind right now when it comes to blogging. It seems as though my life has taken over and I find myself going weeks without an update. I apologize, Poco. Because I know you are the one lonely follower that I have who actually checks to see when I update. According to you my blog is "boring." I'll work on that...and just for that...this post is all about YOU. Last weekend we went up to Dallas to watch my little sister run in her first ever half marathon. What a journey! Poco had been training for months, and the week before the marathon she was horribly sick. On Friday night we still didn't know whether she would be running or not...but she gave it her all and finished the race. We were so proud of her! It was so fun to go and cheer her on and we wouldn't have missed it for anything in the world. Here she is on race day! (she's in the lime green/yellow top)
Gambi and Eloise were so excited to see Poco run by at mile 7
Here we are after the race...E just has to hold the leash for Gracie
So proud of Pat and Poco! Oh look..someone incredibly sweet made you both signs What a nice person
Eloise made this sign for her Aunt Poco. When Poco ran by at mile 7...E was holding the sign with her daddy!!
The Roomies trained together! Yay Poco and Lauren! Go Girls!!
Poco's cheering section!!
I know I need to upload more pictures of life. This past week was crazy! Tuesday was the Writing TAKS test for my 4th graders, and then on Tuesday night, Eloise had a temperature...not just any temperature..it got up to 105!! We had to go to the hospital, and thankfully it was just from an ear infection. Walt and I have already scheduled for Eloise to get tubes on the 17th. I know it will make a world of difference. On Saturday we had a birthday party to go to, and then on Sunday we FINALLY started purchasing things for baby girl! I can't believe that in 7 1/2 short weeks we will be a family of 5! (we included Gracie here!) I am starting my 32 week of pregnancy or my 8 month! I go to the doctor tomorrow...after that checkup I will post a picture of the ever growing belly! I will say this time around, thankfully, I haven't gained as much weight! Maybe it is because I am toting around a 22 pounder!! And...one more week, then a much needed break... Spring Break that is!!
and
and we've managed to go 3 days without a NAP....you would never know it though...such a happy baby...
