Date

Today was Mommy and Tate Day!  We had so much fun on our last extra special day before the babies arrive. We went to town to play with the imagination playground blocks.  Then we went to McDonald's (Old McDonald's according to Tate) and got a hot wheels happy meal. We finished our date with a trip to Walmart where Tate found a shirt that he just had to have. He also got to pick out a sprinkle doughnut and a doughnut to bring home to daddy. As always, he was also entertained by the fish. He took a good nap and got to visit the calves this evening. 

Helper

Tate was my helper today!  He helped me slice up strawberries. I couldn't get him to try one but he enjoyed feeding them to Brett and I. He also brought me a baby name book while I was laying in bed after my shower. He said it would make the babies feel better. Have I mentioned that I am swelling?  My shower really puffs up my feet so I have to lay down and rest when I am done. Baby B was trying to escape this evening.  It is hard to get a good picture of the bulge in my belly but I can feel the roundness of the head. 

Fishing

Brett and Tate went fishing with grandma and grandpa this evening. I stayed home since it is too bumpy to ride in the pickup through the pasture. Tate had fun even though he didn't catch a fish. 

Bag

I started packing my bag for the hospital today. Eek!  I am getting nervous!!  I keep praying that the babies stay put for another month or so!

Rest

Today was glorious for me!  I got a pedicure while Tate was at preschool. It actually wasn't all that pleasant since sitting in the chair hurt my tailbone but the massage part made it all worth it. My housekeeper started today too do I got to come home to a clean house. I fell asleep for two hours while Tate napped!  Tate was a riot today!  I had a package get delivered to my parents' house and my dad brought it over the other day. It had a couple shirts in it for Tate so he was super excited to wear his shirt from grandpa to school today. This evening he found his old pizza shirt and pretended to eat it!

Wound Up

Tate was wound up this afternoon so I couldn't get him to take a nap. He played really hard outside and by 7:30 he was having a major meltdown about his bath. He fell asleep naked in my arms and when we dressed him he had another meltdown. It was a very stressful evening.   He was pretty proud of his new fashion statements!

Farm

We took advantage of the nice weather and played outside all afternoon. We tried to check cattle but after driving a few feet into the pasture it felt like the bumpy ride was going to send me straight into labor so we settled for petting the calves in the barn. Tate said he loved the calves. He played on all the equipment sitting in the yard. I sat a lot!
