Can you believe it is June already, honestly it doesn't feel like June, besides the fact Bailey is out of school for the summer!
Anyway, here we are week 26.......... week 26, is that even possible!? Bean sure is growing at a rapid pace, I feel really big and he is so very active inside, wonder what he is doing in there, somersaults, flips, something because it is very uncomfortable and at times he makes my eyes water when he is preforming his tricks in there! Will this one be more active than Brady, lord I hope not, Brady is a spitfire the way it is, hopefully bean is mellow like Bailey, one shall wait and see.
I have been feeling good for the most part, every once in awhile I feel ill and really lazy and tired, but for the most part not too bad, I just keep plugging away day after day!
That is all for now...... see what kind of tricks bean is up too next week!

Random pictures from the weekend
Needless to say we had a busy weekend, it felt like it anyways. Friday night my mom and went to see my niece dance in her recital in New Prague, she did awesome and was adorable as ever! Saturday a dear friend of mine took me on a date for lunch and a movie. Then Saturday night I had Ashley's graduation, which still blows my mind she is that old to graduate!! Sunday we hung out with the boys, what a perfect day! The boys played on Brady's new water slide and we put our pool up and even enjoyed a nice picnic on the patio (for once it wasn't windy!) We had a nice day together and we were all exhuasted by night!
Putting up the pool, my 3 studs!! LOL Don't tell Rodney I posted this one!

Enjoying Brady's new waterslide he got for a bday gift from his godmother, thanks Michelle! They both had a blast all day using this!



Ashley graduating on Saturday night! Hard to believe! WTG Ashley!

Brady's Birthday

Week 25
Good lord this pregnancy is flying by, it is kind of freaking me out!
Anyways I am plugging along, the belly never seems to stop growing, seriously I don't think it can get much bigger, I know it can, but it hurts and I feel rather large already!
So I had my doctors apptointment lastnight, nothing too exciting. She measured me and I measured 27 weeks which means nothing... LOL and beans heartbeat was 142 bpm. We talked about getting a tubal, even though Rodney just got the big V a few months ago, she told me that the chances of me getting pregnant again with Rodney having the big V is 1:10,000.... my luck I would be the one!! The way she made it sound like it was a very simple procedure and would be done after having the baby, no restrictions, nothing. My worry was that I would have restrictions on lifting, well I don't not want to hold my baby because of that, so it is something I am serioulsy considering, if anyone has any input about, I welcome it!! My 3 sons will be perfect and honestly my body wouldn't beable to handle doing this again, so WE ARE DONE and forsure this time!!!
I just have a few stories to tell, they were both kind of an eye opener! As I was walking into the clinic a very pregnant lady with 2 small boys was walking out, she looked miserable and so ready to have that baby, I felt for her and wanted to give her a hug, that is what I have to look foward too in a few months.... oh boy!! Then once in line at the clinic there was a young mother with a newborn, couldn't of been more than a week old, he was crying his newborn cry so fast and so loud, I just stood there thinking oh lord, this is what I have to look foward to again..... seriously the clinic was an eye opener lastnight. Has it finally set in that we are having another one and that we will soon have a newborn in the house, I would be lying if I were to say I wasn't nervous and scared, because I am!!!
Until next time.....

Happy 4th Birthday Brady!!
So today my baby is "4", honestly didn't think I would be so emotional but I am and blame it on the preggo hormones! LOL I guess I am not sad he is 4, I am sad that he has to go to daycare and I have to be at work and we can't hang out together, although I know he will have fun at daycare with his friends. They all sang him Happy Birthday when we walked in this morning!
If I remember right Brady was born at 10:51 AM, it was a Friday and he was 6lb 14 oz and was 20 1/2" long. I remember watching the Prices is Right when trying to push and my doctor made me turn it off so I could concentrate! LOL It was just Rodney and I in the deliever room and my mom and Bailey were patiently waiting outside for him to be born. This started the adventure of Brady Lee Braatz!
I thought I would post pictures of him throughout the years. Hope you enjoy them as much as I do!
Brady has a special afternoon planned, my best friend Jennifer is picking him up from daycare and taking him and Bailey to get an ice cream treat then coming back home for Brady's party. It is so funny because the boys usually fight in the morning, but this morning they were so in love, Bailey woke up Brady by telling him Happy Birthday and asked him if he wanted him to give him his present. Of course he did, Bailey helped him open it and even played with him. Bailey got him a bat, 2 balls and a baseball glove, Brady has been asking for it forever! It was a moment that is forsure, a moment that doesn't happen to often!!

EMS night at the Safety Building
This was something that the EMS was putting on lastnight so we figured we would go check it out, it was well worth it! The boys had a blast eating rootbeer floats, cotton candy, getting their face painted, coloring books. Here are just a few pictures that we took, I even got to get my face painted!! LOL

Week 24
I really don't have too much to say this week, things are going pretty much the same... tired, lazy, sick every now and again, I did get to finally vacuum and dust on Sunday, first time in 2 weeks!! And those who know me, know that I am a clean freak and am always cleaning..... well not this time around, we are taking it easy and am actually listening to my body and not pushing myselft!
Bean is still nameless, doesn't have a room and no where to sleep, thank goodness we have time yet. Even though I am such a planner and organizer, it doesn't really bother me this time around, must have something to do with having 2 other children and knowing it will all work out... hopefully anyways!
I am glad and thankful this is a 3 day weekend, I seriously need a day off of work to just do nothing, and honestly that is what I plan to do, Rodney doesn't know it yet, but he will be in charge all day! LOL We plan to just hang out, hopefully get out garden planted, have a picnic at my moms and do some yard work. I am also in the mood to have a bonfire just so I can make one of those apple pie things with bread and pie filling and of course smores!! I need to so stop eating like a crazy person!
Bailey is counting down the days left of school, not counting today, there are only 6 days left! How did that go by so fast, before you know it both boys will be going to school and I will be a mom of 3 boys! YIKES!! He is also looking forward to another year of baseball, as am I, I love to watch those kids play and Rodney loves to help coach!
Brady is preparing for his big birthday next Wednesday! I do have to say it makes me alittle sad he is already going to be 4, honestly seems just like yesterday he was born, I know everyone says that but it is the truth, he grew up way too fast! We are just having the grandparents over on his birthday to have a small BBQ and cake. He also got to invite his neighbor friend over who is 2 weeks older than he is, he is pretty excited about that! I am looking foward to making his day very special for him even though he has to go to daycare and I have to work, I will try my hardest to make it magical for him!
Until next time...
