Ever since I was a little girl I was terribly afraid of snakes. Growing up in MA the snakes are most just little green garden snakes. Occasionally dad would find them in the garden or under the deck sending me into a state of panic. On Easter we saw a small snake in my parents parking space. Gabriel and Hubert were fasinated while I screamed and locked myself in the car making Gabriel well aware of my weakness. For a while he would ask me, "Mommy are scared of nakes (he seems to leave off the first s)." And I would reply with, "YES, lets talk about something else"!
Today he took it to a whole different level. He started talking about multiple snakes and then making the hissing noises. He did this with a look on his face that said I am going to tease mommy. I think he is taking advantage of my weakness. Should I fear that he is going to get a pet snake? His daddy grew up with pet lizards and spiders, I can handle those just not snakes!

24 Weeks
I intented to document my entire pregnancy, but I am a little behind. I am starting with 24 weeks.
Pregnancy Highlights:
How Far Along: 24 weeks
Total Weight Gain/Loss: 10lbs
Maternity Clothes: Maternity pants yes and bigger tops!
Gender: Girl her name is Adeline
Movement: Yes!
Food Cravings: strawberry cupcakes, root beer and anything with cheese (cheese omellettes, grilled cheese, cheese quesadillas, and cheese steak/chicken)
Sleep: Sleeping well
Symptoms: pelvic pain and leg cramps
Best Moment this week: Feeling her move when I wake up in the morning! There is no better way to start the day.

Gabriel updates:
1. He told me his eye hurt. I said, what is wrong with it. His response, "It's broken". Too cute.
2. Gabriel wore big boy underwear all day yesterday and had no accidents. I am very proud of him. At least he will not need pullups once the new baby comes.

Happy Birthday, Gabriel!
I know, I have been gone for a long time. I really want to start updating my blog again.
Today is Gabriel's third birthday! I remember like it was yesterday the Saturday morning he was born. It was perfect. He weighed 6 pounds 4 ounce and 19 inches long.
Today the birthday boy is 30 pounds and getting taller by the day. He is pretty much potty trained, he knows numbers 1-10 and most letters. He is obsessed with dinosaurs, dragons, and animals. The past few weeks he has become quite the performer. He loves singing for an audience. I think he gets that from his daddy!
We are about to head out for a birthday lunch. I posted some pictures on facebook.
Happy Birthday, Gabriel! We love you so much!
