Reality Check :)

We were in the grocery store today and we ran into one of the girls that was in our baby class with us. She had obviously not had the baby yet and today is MISERABLY hot, so I asked her how she was hanging in there. She said she was doing good and then asked when we are due again! I told her next week. Curious about her date, I asked when she is due......she responded with, "I'm a week overdue, so don't get too excited!" Oh boy! We walked away feeling a little deflated and Drew said that he wanted to wimper, just a little! I know the possibility is there for us to go past our due date and I just can't imagine the feeling of our date coming and going and ..... nothing! I guess only time will tell! We are just so anxious to meet this little one, but I know it will arrive when it is good and ready! All we want is a healthy baby, so we will wait as long as we have to!

38 weeks and Biscuit's Room

38 weeks and counting! Sorry I look so absolutely exhausted in this picture. But, this picture shows how I have been feeling. I am waiting for that burst of energy they say you get right before you go into labor. Haven't felt it yet! :) We went to the dr. last Wednesday. I am dialated to 1 cm, still 50% effaced, and blood pressure is still good. I still haven't had any contractions, but have been feeling sort of crampy. I am trying to stay active.....we went for a walk last night because it was so beautiful out. I think Molly was more in her glory than we were! So, we are gonna keep on movin' and keep on waitin' for baby B to get here! :)



There have been a few updates to the baby's room, so I wanted to share. The close up shots are just of some of my favorite accessories in the room! Like this little blue, dog alarm clock!


Love, love, love our new rocker/recliner. It even swivels so I can turn to look out each window. Just makes it feel so much more cozy in there! Those are also the new curtains, which I love much more than the first ones I had. I have to order the tiebacks, but I have polka dot ribbon holding them back for now!

Mirrors above the crib.....just thought they fit the theme so well! :)

Passing time.....

We just decided to pass some of the time last night on a beautiful July evening by taking a drive looking for some deer! Yes, that is what we do here in Huron County to pass the time! Just a few pictures I captured and edited!

Simmons Famiily Reunion

We had a great time this weekend out at Doug and Janis' house for the Simmons Family Reunion. Here is a collage of just a few of the memories we made!

The tables have turned!

I say this because it is usually me behind the camera snapping pics of other people. This time it was my sister-in-law, Ashlie, behind the camera snapping pics of Drew and I. Drew kept telling me I would regret it if I didn't get some pictures taken to document our pregnancy and he was right. The pictures turned out absolutely beautiful! Thanks for taking time out of your day to do this for us Ashlie! It means so much to us!! They turned out great!
Here is a video of the pictures. They are a little blurry on here and I don't know if it just from the program I used or what, but you get the idea! Make sure you turn up the volume too! Enjoy!

36 weeks

Just really can't believe that we are at this point. We had our dr. appt. this past Wednesday and we start going every week now. That is a little surreal. I feel like I have waited for the moment where I get to go and see the dr. every week because that meant it was close. Well, it is close. The dr. checked me and I am about 50% effaced, but not dialated at all. My blood pressure has been better during my pregnancy than it was before I was pregnant. This last appt. it was 120/72. Dr. Krohn said we need to be watching for contractions (she called them "table grippers" because you have to grip the edge of the table to get through them! :) ) and changes in the baby's movement. If we experience either of these we have to call. I am still sleeping well, with the exception of a few nights, which is good because I need to get my rest now! We are starting to get so anxious and just can't wait to meet this little one!

Somewhere over the rainbow!!!

With all of the rainstorms we have had lately we were bound to get a rainbow. We had a really hard rain the other night and this was the view in the front of the house. Beautiful!
