Waiting

Now that we're done traveling on the weekends while we're waiting for baby to arrive, we've been able to get caught up on a lot of things around the house which has been great. It makes us feel even more ready for this baby to come! Well, at least me anyway.

The past couple of weekends when we've been home, Daddy has served us up pancakes made-to-order! Mine was chocolate chip and Brynn had hers with  M&M's. Yum.



It was a perfect night outside one night last week and Brynn and Rosha were able to reunite in the park to take advantage of it. They sure do miss each other.



BUMPdate: 38 weeks!
Well, here we are at what feels like the bitter end. At least we've made it this far which is 2 1/2-3 weeks longer than with Brynn. I had my last appointment this past Tuesday in which I was dilated to 4 cm. I feel like the baby has dropped now, and my doctor was able to confirm that she is definitely lower than my last visit. I have more lower back pain now and my Braxton Hicks contractions are definitely more intense all the time.

Grandma Holly is on standby, I've download a contraction counter app onto my phone, and bags are packed! I go in again tomorrow, so we'll see if anything has progressed further since last week. I think every day I show up again at work my co-workers are surprised to see me. Ha. I guess it could be any day now, but that's the hardest part....just not knowing when.

They put out a sheet for guesses at my office. Gene in our crop production department crossed out his own guess - he had 8/10 down and explained something about it being a full moon that night and the gravitational pull being at its strongest, etc etc, but then I guess he said he realized I wasn't going to make it that long and he crossed out his guess. Ha. Apparently my own guess was just wishful thinking. :-)

Bags packed!

In my comfy clothes for a lazy Sunday.

More Graduations + Start of Summer

A couple of weekends ago Clara had a very busy, but fun Saturday with her friend Cora and her sister, Violet. The sisters' dad took them to the Breakfast on the Farm near Hawley (We had gone many years ago. Clara was so little, she didn't remember it.)   They also stopped at the dirt track races on their way back into town and then Dana met up with them at MSUM so they could go to the oceanarium there. We had never been before, but it was on our "Moorhead List" of fun things to do in the 56560 zip code. So, check! Out on side-by-side rides any chance we get. We parked on Sunset Road, as we've dubbed it, to watch the sun go down. There is usually one or two other cars parked on this low maintenance road whenever we venture down there. Clara into her granny hobbies. :-) We attended the last of this year's graduation parties over the weekend. I went to one in town on Friday night and then Clara and I stopped at Karlie's party near Fergus Falls on our way to Z...

Easter + April Birthdays

 The girls had Thursday, Friday and Monday off from school for the Easter break. So, Dana and I took most of the same time off (work) to match.  Always reading. 💜 Hanging out with Brynn. 💗 Dana and I went on a Costco date. We tried our hand at homemade ravioli again. I think it went a bit more smoothly compared to last time. Hubert's sister Abby stopped by for a visit. We hadn't seen her in a long time and so it was fun to have her We celebrated Dana's birthday and kicked it off with some Sandy's donuts. I don't recall what was so funny. haha. Clara's card. Birthday King Clara dyed eggs. I baked a birthday cake for Dana, messed it up getting it out of the pans, and Clara somehow cobbled it together into a masterpiece. Dana chose Lucky 13's for dinner out. On Saturday we packed up to hit up Oliver's birthday party before we went on to Dead Lake for Easter. Oliver is 9!

January + Valentine's Day + CATS!

We ARE still alive over here and have not frozen to death. Here's what we've been up to for the past month and a half! Brynn and Hubert at the OG (Olive Garden): 'Lady and the Tramp' style. haha. Taking in a Force game...with extra fighting. It was very exciting. One Sunday when Clara was at a sleepover, the three of us went to Black Coffee Waffle Bar after church and then for some crepes and boba at Tea & Crepe. Then Brynn and I went prom dress shopping which was really fun. She did find a dress she loves so that was a relief. This is not the one she chose, but she tried on quite a few nice ones. Clara made crowns for the king and I (me). Clara had to write an essay to be considered for the robotics team at school. She waited for at least a couple of weeks to learn if she was accepted, and unfortunately was not. She was pretty disappointed, but she does have a chance to reapply next year when she's a fifth grader, and won't have to write another essay. I th...
