Whew! What a busy weekend...but it was great!
Our busyness got a kick in the rear with my 36 week appointment to the doctor. I have already progressed to a 3 and am 80% dilated. My doc really wanted to do our best to ensure the baby stayed in my belly for at least 1 more week, and she encouraged me to take it as easy as possible, and just kick my feet up...
Well, that's hard for me to do anyway, but with chasing after Colin and having some last minute things we wanted to get done before baby arrived...we kicked it into high gear!
So much for relaxing, but Brian really did his best to tell me to sit down (all the time!) I just wanted to help out so much that I didn't really follow doctor's orders.
BUT...Tiffany and Chad volunteered to take Colin for us from Saturday after naptime, having Colin stay the night with them, and he came home Sunday after naptime. We got soooo much stuff done in less than 24 hours, it's amazing what you can do without any little ones around! :) We missed him so much though...

Colin's room got completely re-painted (a very bright and awesome blue that Brian picked out) and decorated in a sports ball theme. He loved it when he got home. He kept spinning around the room in a circle pointing at all the balls, touching them, etc. It was so fun to watch.
After searching just about everywhere, we couldn't find Colin's favorite little puppy dog, (he calls him "Oof", after what a doggy says "woof"). We had his room completely torn apart to paint and decorate and we hadn't come across Oof. Well, Brian found him...
Along with a couple of Pound Puppies...in his diaper pail. YUCK! They stunk so bad! All 3 of the stuffed animals immediately took a bath in the washing machine. Glad we found them and didn't send them out to the trash!
And here's little baby girl's nursery so far...We finally adorned the walls with the dots
Plus, we spent some major time in the kitchen. When Colin was born, we had made some casserole-type dishes ahead of time and put them in our deep freeze for nights when we couldn't seem to muster any energy to cook. Well, we did it again. On Saturday we made:
1 dish of Chicken Tortilla Casserole
1 dish of Baked Ziti
1 dish of Mexican Lasagna
2 containers of Homemade Spaghetti Sauce
2 dishes of Bow Tie Pasta
Hopefully this will last us for a while!!!
Okay baby, you can come out whenever now, we're ready! :)
