Sibling jealousy, and some pregnancy pics.

I am starting to wonder if BriAnn is feeling like she is being replaced by the baby? She has always had the hardest time adjusting to new additions in the family....and lately she has seemed very concerned about Easton coming. Not to long ago, I told her that when the baby comes, she can't sleep in mommy and daddies bed. I was trying to help her understand why we keep trying to get her to sleep in her own bed. Well that didn't go over too well...and that is when her jealousy really picked up. She always asks me if I still love her, and there are times when she will tell me that she loves me over and over again. Which i'm not complaining about...I LOVE LOVE LOVE hearing her say, "Mommy, I love you." But I feel that she thinks that we are not going to love her anymore when the baby comes. It makes me sad to think that she feels that way. =O( So I have been trying to give her special mommy time and attention, and I keep reassuring her that mommy and daddy will always love her, and that she is such a good big sister. I hope she does ok with the baby.....I guess i'll find out.

I have been saving up some money for a new breast pump. I had a old cheap one that stopped working when Ethan was born. That is probably a big reason why I couldn't keep nursing him because I wasn't making enough on my own w/out a pump. So about a month ago, Eran came home from work and he had me close my eyes. After I opened them, in front of me sat a huge bag...and I had no clue what was inside. It turned out to be a breast pump....the really expensive, hospital kind. A lady at his work didn't need it anymore, so she gave it to him for free. SCORE!!! I then used that saved up money for the kids Christmas. I want to have that out of the way before the baby comes. It might just be me, but Christmas shopping with a 2 month old doesn't sound very fun. So anyways, we tried it out....and at first it wasn't doing much....until Eran suggested I put it on both sides. Uh........yeah.......it worked....way better than my old one! I then made Eran try it out, which he willingly did. LOL. So i'm excited (over a breast pump, silly, I know. I, in all honesty, hate pumping....it makes me feel like a cow. And it hurts!! But i'll do anything for my babies.) It was a very thoughtful thing for Eran to do......its nice knowing that he is supporting me in that. Or it may be that he enjoys the fact that they double in size when I nurse? LOL! Too much info I guess! Either way....thank you sweetheart!! I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!!

Today when we were getting ready for church, BriAnn was trying to help Emma pick out a dress. Emma had one of her binkies in her mouth (which we need to get rid of), and BriAnn said, "Emma take your binky out so you can talk." So Emma ripped it out and tried talking again and BriAnn looked at her and said, "Emma, you talk weird." LOL! I was in the bathroom curling my hair when she said that, and I was cracking up!! She is so brutely honest sometimes!

Here are some recent pics of the kids. Eran's brother, Evan, came out not too long ago to visit for a few days. The kids loved him, and they still talk about Uncle Evan and ask where he went and if he will come back. It was cool to see him and get caught up with everything! He and his wife are expecting a baby boy soon...and we are sooo excited for them!! =O)

Oh the joy of getting all 3 kids to sit down for a picture....

Ethan LOVES Disney's, "Mickey Mouse Club House" show. If he is watching a show that he likes....he SERIOUSLY gets into it. To the point that he will just stand (or sit) there and not move...not even blink! I'm so not kidding!!

Here I was at 32 weeks...

And here I am today, at 35 weeks. The belly is gettin' bigger (and getting harder to work around, and bend over, and move, and roll over, etc.)!!
