Cosi

On El's day off this week he took Soph to Cosi. They LOVE going there.

 They have a new construction exhibit which Soph liked:

Such a fun day!

Saturday night with the Beaty kids

Saturday night I went to the Beaty's to watch the kiddos. We had a blast.

 

Soph learning what it takes to be a big sister:

 Addie and Soph being sweet:

 I tried getting a picture of the three older kids together....it was impossible:

 We had a dance party:

 Made some Father's Day crafts:

 Uncle Elliott came and hung out before work.

 I just couldn't get enough of Annaston:

 Failed attempt at getting a cute picture of all three kiddos smiling:

 Then I tried to get one with A as well lol:

 Annaston was SOO good. Love her soo much:

 The kiddos were so excited to have a slumber party:

We had soo much fun and Elliott and I got some practice with a newborn. We totally forgot how much to feed, when to feed, how often to change diapers, etc. :)

Rodan+Fields

Last Wednesday Linds and Sharon hosted an R+F event for me. It was my first event so I was pretty nervous but it went really well. We had a great turn out and had a lot of fun. Here's acouple pictures that I took:

 

A big thank you to Linds and Sharon for hosting!

Fun with the Goff's

On Wednesday we drove to Cinci as I had an R+F event that Linds and Sharon hosted for me. Soph was really excited to see the fam. Right after we got there, El and Soph went on a canoe ride through Linds and Jay's neighborhood. I was a nervous wreck the WHOLE time as they didn't have any life jackets. I have a fear of drowning and the water was pretty deep. El assured me he'd hold onto Soph tight and if they flipped he wouldn't let her go. Regardless, I was happy when they got out of the canoe. :) Next time, we'll bring life jackets.

These pictures are all out of order for some reason. Thursday morning I had to get up at 4:00 a.m. to fly to Chicago for a work trip. El had school Thursday night so Soph stayed in Cinci with Jim and Sharon. She got to play in the rain with her friends Austin and Elliott:

 Soph asked me to take this picture of her and El:

 Soph making smores with Grandpa Jim:

 And Linds:

 While staying with Sharon, Soph tried out some hair curlers:

 And rode bikes:

 And played on El's tractor from when he was a little boy:

 

Soph had a great time. A big thanks to Jim and Sharon for watching Soph while I was traveling. Luckily, the trip to Chicago was my LAST trip before having the baby. :) I was exhausted.

 

34 weeks

I'm now 35 weeks but took a picture last week at 34 weeks. I tried to find a comparison picture with Sophia at 34 weeks but only had one for 35 weeks so you can see the differences below. Despite feeling HUGE, based on the pictures, I don't look bigger than when I was prego with Soph. We'll see. I have an appt. tomorrow afternoon.

 

Pregnancy Highlights:

How far along: 34 weeks

Gender: It's a boy!! Eli Michael Goff

Movement: Eli is VERY active. He moves all the time - especially after I eat and right before bed. I love feeling the movements despite some of them hurting.

Sleep: I'm not sleeping much at night since I'm getting up to go to the bathroom, I'm uncomfortable and I started getting acid reflux and heartburn.

What I miss: Not being HUGE!

Cravings:  Everything. I love food! :)
Symptoms: Heart burn, acid reflux, back pain, etc. ...you know, all the things that come with pregnancy. :) I don't remember being soo HUGE with Sophia and being out of breath, having issues getting up off the couch and out of bed lol!

 

I'm soo looking forward to meeting our baby, Eli but want him to cook for acouple more weeks. I'm really really hoping for at least an 8 pound baby boy, we'll see. I've been measuring right on track this time around. With Soph, I was measuring a week ahead and she was only 7 pounds 9 ounces so he might be a little baby.

Here's the comparison pictures. 34 weeks with Eli:

 

35 weeks with Soph:

Strawberry Picking

Yesterday Soph and I got up and moving pretty early. I knew it was going to be a hot day so I wanted to get to Jacquemin Farms right after they opened at 9:00 a.m. It's about a 30 min drive so we got there right after they opened and they were already pretty busy.

 

Soph loved picking strawberries:

 

 Showing off her strawberries:

It was already getting hot so we didn't stay too long. Then, since we were already in Plain City, we had brunch at Der Dutchman and it was GOOD! Then we went to the mall to do some shopping, came home and played outside. It was HOT HOT HOT!

Backyard fun

It's been really nice out this week so we've played out back almost every night. Soph loves her baby pool from last year lol. We need to get her a bigger pool ASAP!

 

 She also loves her water table:

 And squirting us with her water guns:

 And drinking from the hose:
