37 Weeks

Here is a little update about little Isaac. Tomorrow I am officially full term at 37 weeks! YAY!! We made it. I have been having minor contractions for quite a while now...about 4-5 weeks but it has never amounted to anything serious or worth counting between contractions. Last Thursday, I was dilated to only 1 cm and have only gained 10 pounds! Don't ask how I managed to do that...I crave ice cream every night too! My doctor thinks that he will come early so my Mom just bought her ticket and will be here next Tuesday, March 30th. I am excited to have her come and help me out before Isaac comes and to be here to watch Ava while I am in the hospital. I will try to keep the blog updated as much as possible.

Isaac's Baby Shower

My good friend from church, Erica, threw me a baby shower last weekend for Isaac. It was so nice of her. It was a great shower and she did a great job! Thank you so much! I got some really nice things and had a great time with all of my friends. My Mom and Mother-in-law even sent little gifts for me to open...so sweet of them to do that!

Guess the big day! I have the finished copy in the nursery.

Visit from Lydia

Last weekend, my best friend Lydia came down for my baby shower and to help me get everything ready for Isaac to come. She was so much help. After the shower on Saturday, we did a ton of shopping, which included me forgetting a million things and having to go back out shopping on Sunday afternoon to get the things I forgot! The joys of being pregnant! :) We had so much fun and I am completely ready for this little guy to come. We finished his nursery and also finished decorating Ava's room. I will put pictures of those up soon. Thank you so much Lydia for coming down! We love you!

Ava loves Lydia! How sweet!

After going out for pizza one night, Lydia was entertaining Ava outside so we could finish paying the bill. She was so excited to be eating her breadstick outside! :)

A Day in the Life...

...Of an Almost 2-Year-Old!

We started the day looking like this... Ava being goofy in the morning with her bloomers on her head (she did this all by herself... doesn't she look proud!).

...and we ended the day looking like this. This was after falling down the front steps of our porch going to get the mail (poor little thing!). Looks worse than it is (thankfully!). It was an all-around adventurous day! Let's see what tomorrow holds! :)
