The Park!

We were all more than thrilled to be heading to the park in this nice weather this afternoon! It was so nice getting outside!

My lil man is a dunking machine!

Just to note for myself: A lady at the park went on and on today about how she couldn't believe Noah's speech. She said he spoke like an adult and said he was the best talker she has ever heard at that age. This wasn't a surprise to me - he gets told this all of the time. I just want to remember that! And I want to remember how he talks a mile a minute lately from the moment he wakes up until he is asleep! ha! He alway has something interesting to say! Funny lil guy!

Progress!

I had my 36 week appointment today and I am 3 cm dilated and 70% effaced! She said she was guessing she was about 6 lbs right now. She said she doesn't think I will make it to my scheduled c-section date of the 21st, which is okay by me! She told me to go home and pack my bags and put the carseat in...but we shall see! Who knows, I could stay like this for the next 3 weeks!

Allie's Room

Allie's room is almost complete! My mom is making her bedskirt, but other than that, it's finished! And I have to say I LOVE IT! I did it all myself too, with Noah and Terry's help of course! :)

I made her a bow holder and tons of bows...

Then when I got addicted to making bows, I made a bow board...

She has lots of clothes, thanks for Miss Nora! :)

Tutus that I made for her!



Princess Allie's Tea Party

My sister and mom threw me a surprise tea party for Allie this past Sunday! It was ADORABLE and I was shocked! I had no idea! They did such a good job and I had lots of wonderful friends and family there. They had lots of tea, yummy and cute food, tiarras, a bow-making station, wonderful gifts and more! So thankful for everyone who came and for my sister and mom for having it! Love you!

They made me sing "I'm a Little Teapot". I tried to get some support for the little girls, but they just stood there looking cute! :)

Everyone! :)

Andrea N. won the cutest bow contest!

35 Week Dr Appt

I had my 35 week appointment today. All is well! I am about 50% effaced and 1/2 to 1 cm dilated. Her heartrate was in the 150s again. I lost my mucous plug last Thursday too. I had a ton of questions about how the c-section will go this time - after my horrible experience last time. She assured me that it would be wonderful and that if all goes as planned, Allie doesn't even have to leave my side afterwards. That was a relief because I didn't get to see Noah for 3 hours afterwards and they didn't even tell me why! BUT she can be with me during my 1 hour recovery and have the "kangaroo" time and nurse her just as if it was a vaginal delivery. Music to my ears! I have definitely hit that point of "I am done and ready" and I just cannot wait to meet this little girl!

Indy Children's Museum

We had the best time at the Children's Museum today! It is open from 10-5 and we were there almost the entire time! Noah had so much fun and was into everything! I mean, how cool is it to go to a place that he can touch and climb on pretty much anything in sight! What a fun family trip! I took SO many pictures, it was hard to narrow! Some of his favorite parts included the trains, the big bird show and the water stations!

So the dinosaur section was a pretty humerous one. For some reason, Noah lately has been adding "er" to the end of words - just to be funny, I think. Well, you can imagine the laughs we got when we got to the dinosaur bones. Yeah, have you put it together? He was yelling "Look at this big boner! And this little boner"...etc. HAHAHA!

A special trip wouldn't be complete without a special treat - Icecream!!!

We took a million and one family pictures without much success! ha!

Going to the Doctor's

I had my regular appointment today and Noah came along! He said he was excited to see my doctor and get a sucker. Haha! Apparently, he thinks every doctor has suckers! So I brought one for him if he was a good boy! After 1.5 hours stuck in traffic and a 1 hour wait because we were late, Noah & I finally got to see the doctor. Ugh! Noah was so good through all of it though, well except maybe the last 2 minutes...

He sat quitely and played while I talked to the doctor. He stood beside the table holding my hand while we listened to her heartbeat (in the 150s). He loves listening to it! He stood so good while she checked my cervix, but he did keep saying that I needed to take off that cover (talking about the paper sheet that you put over yourself). We went on. Noah asked the doctor if he could hear her heartbeat again, so she let him! She even let him hold the machine and talk to Allie through it, which he thought was super, super cool! Then the appointment was wrapping up, the doctor was literally at the door and I remembered just a couple more questions I had. Well, Noah starts to pull on the paper sheet. I tell him, "no, I need that". I keep talking to the doctor. He pulls more...more...and it starts to rip. He then continues to rip it in shreds within a minute. The doctor is just laughing and looking up in the air, as he continues to shred every bit of the sheet off me except the little bit I held in my hands covering up my "lady parts" (don't know how to appropriately word that!) - leaving my legs and butt totally exposed. Hahahaha...my doctor says "okay, well I am going to go now!" Oh my word child!  

We only have 6 weeks left from today until Allie joins this crazy family! :)

Happy Birthday to Sam!

We went to Sam's birthday party at Chuck E Cheese tonight! It was so much fun - not very crowded, so that was nice! My camera went dead so this is all the pics that I took...

Noah was super excited when they sang to Sam. He sang Happy Birthday and kept clapping while yelling "Hooray for Sam!!!" And let's just say he was super excited about the cake too!

The Birthday Boy in the Ticket Blaster!!! The whole reason to come, right?!! He did great!
