Almost February

Last night I was struggling with some pretty strong labor signs. When Tom heard me he jokingly scolded "Juli! You cannot have this baby right now!" Then Arvilla rushed up to me and put her hands firmly on my belly, leaned in so her mouth was almost touching it, and said "Baby, you can't come out until February!" haha!

When I could tell they weren't going away easily I laid down on the couch. Arvilla and Clark were a little concerned and came to comfort me...

Clark even "read" to me from his Thomas Trains catalog, and showed me which trains he wants for his birthday.
I have the sweetest kids! They are so excited for the baby, and take such good care of me. An hour or so later I was feeling back to normal and everything was fine. Only a little longer until I can start being excited at the beginning of labor signs instead worrying about them until they go away.

Just a few pictures I've been meaning to post lately:

Our kids seriously are so dang cute. And seriously, I can't wait until you are safe to have the baby either. And Emilie, Arvilla totally does look like you in that picture... Juli has mentioned that several times in the last few months :)
