40 Weeks and Counting!

Well, here I am in all my pregnant glory on Friday when I was 40 weeks. So, we are "patiently" awaiting the arrival of our little guy. Okay, so it's not really patiently. Jen is here for the weekend and we were all sincerely hoping I would go into labor while she was here. However, that doesn't seem to be happening, but things could start at any moment.

We're been a house full of sickies too as Anne and I have colds and she is just getting over a GI bug and I have pink eye! Oh what fun. Jen and Jeff have been trying to decontaminate themselves repeatedly so they don't catch anything.

Jen and I have done some shopping and picked out some paint chips for Jeff's review for the living and dining room. I got pulled over on the way to Target on Friday night for driving on the wrong side of the road (I was actually just pulling around some cars, but apparently, all 4 of my tires crossed the yellow line). Plus, my license had expired 2 days prior. Thankfully, I was let off with a written warning. The cop asked me if I had ever been pulled over for driving on the wrong side of the road before....what? So, it's been an eventful weekend. Jen treated me yesterday to a pedicure for my birthday, so my feet and toes are looking super snappy for going into labor!

We'll keep you posted. Please pray he'll show up soon. We're just so ready to meet him!

Fun in the morning

Here are some fun pics of Anne from this morning. Our neighbor, Nancy, who runs the daycare had a Valentine's Day party on Tuesday, but saved Anne a bag of goodies as she goes over there on Wednesday afternoons.

Potluck

Last weekend we hosted our small group potluck. Jeff thought I was crazy to offer to host, but I've been trying to keep myself busy and distracted. Today, I have my OB appt and then this afternoon after naps, Anne and I are going with our friends to the museum of science.

We also hosted our Christmas potluck, but since then we now have 2 other kiddos who are walking, so its a house full of craziness, but loads of fun!

Super Bowl Birthday Party

Matt, Darcy, and Ellie came over the weekend before last to watch the superbowl. Jeff turned it into a little early birthday part as we weren't sure if the baby would come on my birthday. However, he did not and I'm still pregnant! We had a good time though. Ellie is getting so big...and so am I!

Preventative Measures

This picture didn't turn out so hot, but it gives you an idea. We have been most grateful to our neighbor, Bob, who has been over repeatedly this winter snow-blowing our driveway. He also had a roof-rake that Jeff borrowed on Monday night to clear the snow off our garage. It's a super old, rickety garage with a flat roof. We've been hearing a lot of reports on the news about roofs collapsing. With 2 storms forecasted for this week, Jeff took some preemptive measures and cleared off the roof. Good thing as we've had another 6 or so inches with an icy mix.

Guess if the garage does collapse, perhaps insurance will pay for a new one. Just don't want that to happen while the car is in there. Jeff and I can just picture us having to call a cab to take us to the hospital.

37 Weeks and Counting

Can this belly get any bigger? Here's a picture of me at 37 weeks on Saturday. I told Jeff my belly looks like its about ready to burst. He said, "well, if you wouldn't keep wearing such tight shirts...." I promptly replied, "Honey, all my shirts are this tight!" Not much is fitting these days.

Snow, snow and more snow

Here are a few pics from last week's snow fall. We had another 5 or so inches on Tuesday and another 3-4 today with a nice coating of ice on top. I did not step foot outside the house today...too dangerous.
