Ian's last day as an only child!

So today I had a list of things I wanted/needed to do before we have the baby tomorrow, BUT then we woke up and decided to go to the ZOO!!! I figured since it was Ian's last day alone with us he should have some good quality FUN! So we got ready, packed a lunch and headed out. We had a blast... Ian was funny, he would see an animal (such as an elephant) and want to stay there forever and watch it, sometimes he would cry when we tried to go see another animal, but then we would get to the next one and he would want to watch that one forever! It was soooo funny!

It was so nice just having a day to be us! Ian has really needed some daddy time, and some time to be with both of us together so today was PERFECT!

When we asked Ian if he wanted to ride the train he got so excited!!

So we rode the train and he loved it!

At the end of the day when he was so tired he could barely smile we decided to go home (2:30pm) we were walking out and he saw that big black ball that spins in the water... he was in heaven! He played with that ball for a long time... he was wet and very happy when we left!

I think Ian had a very good last day as an only child! We are so excited to welcome Miranda into our lives tomorrow. Even Ian can't wait to hold her and give her a hug! He is always kissing my tummy and saying "hello in there" to her! It will be fun to finally see them together!

The baby schedule!

So we are scheduled to have Miranda on Wednesday! We can't wait to welcome this little angel into our family. Tonight we were telling Ian that Miranda was coming soon and he got so excited. He was kissing my belly and telling her that he loves her. It was so sweet and I can't wait for him to meet her! He will be such a good big brother! I will put pictures of our sweet baby girl on as soon as I feel up to it (which is hopefully soon after =)! Keep us in your prayers!

Baby Shower

My dear friend Heidi threw me a baby shower this past weekend (thanks again) and it was so much fun! I loved seeing everyone and having some girl time!

We played this game where everyone had a piece of construction paper and they had to put it behind their backs and rip out the best baby they could. You should have seen what most of them ended up looking like... it was hilarious! Nicole Bradford was the winner of that game!

We also played a game where everyone had to cut a piece of yarn however long they thought I was around at the widest part of my tummy! Lindsey was the winner of this game... she was about 5 or 6 inches too big! So the real measurement is 39 1/2 inches at 37.5 weeks!

I feel like I am going to POP any time, and I just might! I am so ready to have this baby girl, but I guess I'll wait till she decides to come! =) I am dilated 2-3cm and am really uncomfortable so hopefully I don't have to wait too much longer!

Nik went to Arizona this last weekend to find us a house to live in! We will be renting from my Uncle and Nik narrowed it down to his top 4 houses that he likes! We are so excited to move and start that part of our lives! I feel so blessed to be where we are right now with such exciting things ahead of us!

We can't wait to have little Miranda in our lives, and Ian is such a good boy... he brings so much Joy and Happiness to our lives already! He will be the best big brother and is so excited to meet our new baby!

Thanks again to all my friends I love you all!
