I haven't taken a ton of pictures this week and of the handful of pictures I have taken, none are really worth sharing. The kids tend to run from the camera on some days. I do have a couple of videos to share, though.
Elise got to enjoy a chocolate chip cookie after her lunch last week. She started playing peek-a-boo with me while she was chewing and I tried to get her doing it because she finally uses both hands and actually covers her eyes. Instead I got a very lazy demonstration along with her face covered in cookie and I was able to get her to say "please" on camera. She's fun.

Matthew LOVES Dance-Alot-Robot on the Disney channel. Very, very rarely do I catch him actually dancing along. I was actually just trying to get better video of Elise walking to send to my mom when Matthew started dancing along with the TV. Too cute.

I've managed to finish the valance for Viviana's room and now I just have to wait for the rod to be mounted on the wall so I can hang it. Next up is the crib bumper. The room decor needs to be put up, too, but I need to get a few more things before I'll really feel like her room is really coming together.
Failed attempt at getting a picture of the belly because Matthew is a glory hog =)
The belly at 35 weeks. I've been told I don't look any bigger. I don't feel much bigger. I just feel like she's shifted her position and my belly is shaped a bit differently.
Matthew kissing his "Baby Ana". Someday he'll fully grasp that her name is Viviana =)
Well, I have the feeling that this little girl will be our first officially full term baby. Matthew and Elise were technically considered preemies because they were born before 37 weeks, but I was lucky in that they both came home from the hospital when I did. I have no idea when I started progressing with Matthew. All I know is that at 36 weeks I was already 4cm dilated. Elise gave me more warning. I knew at 34 weeks that she was getting ready to make her debut and I was already 3cm at that point. This baby has been a little bit more like her brother. No clues. No warning. Braxton hicks contractions every now and then. However, because of my quick delivery with Elise, my doctor and I have felt a little more at knowing early on just what exactly my body is doing. I really don't want to deliver during the 20 minute drive to the hospital.
Having said all of that, I am currently only 2cm and she's not quite as low as she led us to believe last week. This is good considering I want her to stay in there at least another week. A lot could change in a week, but then again, nothing could change at all. Either way, I have the feeling this one is content to stay in a little bit longer than her siblings =)
