30 Weeks!

Today marks 30 weeks and everything is going very well! I've been feeling pretty good and baby b is doing excellent. Kicking like crazy ... I had a friend joke that Preston was going to be the calm child. All I thought was "oh dear". If that ends up being true, we will certainly have our hands full!

The bedding arrived last weekend and I found a few paint samples. Now I just need to choose the colors and find some free time to paint!

Preston gives baby b kisses all the time now and seems to understand, somewhat, that we're having a baby. His baby is in his tummy and daddy has a baby in his tummy too. :-) If you ask him whether he's going to have a baby brother or a baby sister, he usually answers with whatever you said last. But more often than not, he's insistent that he's going to have a sister. We shall see ... just 10 more weeks until we find out!

Marathon Weekend

The Brookings Marathon, Half Marathon and Relay was held a couple weekends ago and this year the Children's Museum was involved. Registration was held, and the Scotty Roberts 5K began, at the Children's Museum this year. After the 5K, the museum had a fun run for kids. The run took us around the museum, in to the Prairie play yard, passed mama and baby T-Rex and then finished in front of the museum. After the run, the kids were treated to ice cream cones! Preston was so excited for the run (but mostly the ice cream). We all had a blast. He did great, only slowing down when he went passed the dinosaurs. No surprise there!

The next morning I was at my usual post, directing runners at the split. It was a chilly morning but the rain held off until the last runner was in and the course was cleared.

My sister ran a 3-mile leg on a relay team (and did a great job!) and my uncle Don ran the marathon ... in just over four hours!
