It's a....

Baby Pavkov #3 is all girl according to the 20 week ultrasound. Kirk and I are thrilled our baby appears to be 100% healthy and normal. We don't have any names, and Kirk and I really disagree on girls names so we're in for a few battles :)

I originally wanted a boy because I was worried about Natalie being a middle child with a sister so close in age to compete with but now that our Talie girl is a little older it is obvious she is not going to let us forget about her, baby sister or not. She is full of personality and demands her equal share of attention.

We keep trying to explain to Dominic that mommy has a baby in her tummy and now he's going to have another baby sister, but every time we say anything about "baby" he looks at Natalie - she is baby in his mind. Maybe when I am more noticeably pregnant we'll be able to explain it better so he understands.

Fall

We had some GREAT weather last week which gave us the chance to clean up some leaves and go to Walsh Farms. I had great ideas about the pictures I would take of my children enjoying the fun activities, they loved playing in the leaves and everything at Walsh Farms, but they were so uncooperative when it came to taking pictures I just had to laugh. I don't think I got ANY pictures of Dominic looking at the camera so I did had to pull out the video camera to document that they were actually having fun. Of course I haven't ever taken the time to figure out how to get our videos onto the computer - something that is definately important that I could probably easily figure out. Add that to the list :)

Natalie playing in the corn sand box at Walsh Farms, not a very flattering picture of my gorgeous baby, but the only one that showed even part of her face :)

I don't know what look this is - but Nic thought it was pretty fun to look through the little hole for his cute little face.

Dominic has been talking about "punkins, yummy, yummy" for weeks now ever since he's seen them out on people's porches. I'm not sure what the facination is, or where "yummy" comes from since he seems to know you don't eat them raw like an apple, but I'm glad he's enjoying the seasons festivities!

Running out of the hay maze.

Real Life Lyrics

So I realized a few weeks ago that I was living the line of a country song. Luckily, it's a good line, and not one about losing everything you love or being a total redneck or anything like that. Anyway, here's some pictures to clarify...

"There's a carrot top that can barely walk with a sippy cup of milk"

"and a blue-eyed blonde with shoes all wrong 'cause (he) likes to dress (him)self"

Thanks Lonestar (and song writer) for lyrics that I'm happy to be living!
