Big Sister Training

Tonight Sami went to a class to learn about being a big sister and she was awesome! This isn't a great pic, but she's showing me her doll that she just diapered.

Update

Spent the evening at the hospital last night due to cramping and contractions. Contractions were 2-3 minutes apart but mild to moderate. I am 36 weeks and 6 days along, and the doctor wants Juan Carlos to keep cooking until at least 38 weeks. I was sent home with partial bedrest orders. Basically, the doctor wants me to lay around with my legs crossed for a week so I don't stir things up again until I hit 38 weeks, which will be on July 4th. The downside is that I have to deal with the cramping/contractions for at least another week (unless they go from uncomfortable to painful), but on the upside, I get to lay around and watch chick flicks without feeling guilty!

Update

My car is sold! We are now a 1.5 vehicle family. I'm a bit sad to see my sweet ride go, but it cheers me up to know that one day we will be debt free! ...one day.

Thanks to my good friend's mom, we now have daycare lined up for Juan Carlos. What a relief! You know what else would be a relief?! Getting this baby out of my belly!! I had a doctor's appointment this afternoon and am showing no signs of 'progress' except for being huge. The doctor said again that she thinks this baby is going to be bigger than Sami was. She also said that she thinks I might go in labor before the scheduled surgery date, but I'm not counting on it. It'll be a long three weeks if I am in the mindset that any day I could go into labor. I'll stick with the July 14th date. We still don't have the baby's room ready, but it's getting there little by little. The biggest thing that needs to be done in there right now is getting the crib set up.

Father's Day 2010

For Father's Day we went and hung out at the Red River Zoo. We got to see the wolves eat (not as exciting as we'd hoped) and Sami fed the big horse, the miniature horse and some goats. I think she was most excited about the cat that had snuck into the camels' area.

Backtracking: May 22, 2010

My 'little' sister's high school graduation party was May 22nd, so we were down in Kansas for that. Those Kansas grads don't mess around - I think the entire high school showed up for Leah's graduation party and we only saw her for the few hours that her party lasted because she had a huge list of parties to attend. I was a little overwhelmed and exhausted, so I didn't take any actual party pictures, but I did get some before pictures!

I don't remember if we were doing a pregnancy announcement pic or an engagement pic here.

I Want To Ride My Bicycle

Sami wants to ride her big girl bike that has no training wheels...unfortunately she doesn't know how so it is a game of "Daddy push me!"

CAR FOR SALE!!!

If you know anyone looking for a car, I am selling my Subaru for CHEAP! It's priced at $12,500 - below the KBB and NADA value for both retail and trade-in. I love it, especially because of the AWD, moonroof, MP3 and tinted windows, but need to get rid of the payment so we can pay for daycare for Juan Carlos and pay off some debt! Spread the Word, Nerd!

Naptime?

Grandma Pam's is exhausting! SJ fell asleep at the table.
