bowling and bathtime...

bowling and bathtime: can you tell which one is having the most fun?

you spin me right round...

you spin me right round: the sederholm family graciously passed down a butterfly bike to livia this weekend. We picked up some training wheels for her today so she was able to take it for a spin. The only downfall was that is was raining when we finally got the training wheels on, so Livi took it for a ride in the garage.

bath and bedtime...

bath and bedtime: the girls had their baths and were wide awake for some photo opportunities. Even Sophia was awake for a short period of time to get her photo taken. Later, it was time for some books and then bedtime. Sophia decided to take a snooze on Livia's bed, while daddy read some books.

we're home...

the waiting game...

the waiting game: i went into the hospital last night because i was having contractions about 7-9 minutes apart. After 2 hours of tests, checking, and waiting, the doctor sent me home. I am dilated, but I haven't changed since last Thursday. So now I am home on bed rest at least for this week. The doctor wants me to get to 37 weeks before a) having the baby or b) going back to work in some capacity. Right now we are just playing the waiting game. Think good thoughts and shoot some prayers in our direction! I will hopefully know more after my doctor's appointment on Friday.

got milk...

got milk: livi, bobby, and i visited the como zoo today. The weather was way too beautiful not to get out of the house. I have been slowing down and walking has become a little difficult at times. We had a good day, and I felt great! After the zoo, we made a few stops along the way home. One was a stop to Bongaards (a creamery/retail store). I couldn't pass up a photo opportunity with a cow that big! When Livi went to sleep she said, "After I wake up we'll go to the zoo and see the cow again." I guess that is a measure of a good day.
