This weekend Josh and I had planned to take the kids to the zoo. Brittney and Duncan got us an annual family pass and the weather is super nice, so it seemed like the perfect idea. Well...that was until Josh brought home this cold from work. Although we haven't been officially diagnosed, I'm fairly certain this is the flu. He's about a day ahead of me with it, and that seems to be working out because as he feels remotely better I start getting worse and visa versa. Just praying this is over soon. The kids are so bored with us. They both got their flu shots, and Josh and I were stupid...so they are pretty much running circles around two zombies right now.

So, yesterday, while he was trying to sleep it off and before I went downhill fast, I got some cute pics of the kids in the backyard. It was one of the first days in a month that it was nice enough for them to go outside. :)

Anna found the only flower still in existence in the back yard and quickly picked it.

She then got all protective of it.  :) — She then got all protective of it. :)

Wallace has gotten to the phase where it's difficult to get him to look at the camera.

But how cute is he in Anna's old boots!  They are some of his favorite shoes.  :) — But how cute is he in Anna's old boots! They are some of his favorite shoes. :)

I've been meaning to try to take some maternity shots of myself for a while now. I figured I'd do it as soon as I went on bed rest, but that just hasn't happen yet. I am honestly shocked every time I walk away from my doctor's appointment, and I'm still free to live my life like a normal person. This is the first time I've been in my 3rd trimester and not on bed rest. :)

So, I decided to attempt a camera setup similar to what I learned in my photography class for still life...but this isn't really still life since I have a heartbeat. :) Since I pulled out the tripod Anna got to take on her normal role of remote button pusher. She gets so excited about this!

I tried taking some serious/serene shots, but I just looked ridiculous.  I am the least photogenic person I know... — I tried taking some serious/serene shots, but I just looked ridiculous. I am the least photogenic person I know...

Here's me attempting to be a little serious.  I think I look more like "holy crap....#3..." — Here's me attempting to be a little serious. I think I look more like "holy crap....#3..."

And that's about it. Josh got tired of hearing the camera shutter and kicked us out.

So, I probably should have worn a white shirt or something...I look bigger from the side, but honestly, this kid is just not sticking out that much. Makes me think it's a girl! Anna's already decided it's a girl. I haven't pulled out all of the pink clothes just yet, but the two of us are probably going to be in a little bit of shock if it ends up being a boy. :)
