Sugar cookies and an anniversary

Yesterday we made sugar cookies in hopes that little Owen would want to debut. Ha! My sisters were both home for the weekend...so nice! We watched the PPP (Pole Pedal Paddle) on Saturday and grilled both Friday and Saturday night. Yum! It was a busy, but relaxing weekend with my family. It is wierd to think that this could be the last weekend without Owen. So crazy! 10 days from the due date today!

My parents are celebrating their 30th wedding anniversary today. How incredible is that? I am so blessed that they are my parents. They are great role models! I am so thankful for all that they did to raise us girls. They are taking a trip to Europe to celebrate the big 30 in October this year. They didn't want to chance not being here for the birth of their first grandbaby and do anything close to their actual anniversary. My sisters and I got them a nice knife set. They have been using the same ones from their wedding. I told them they have to keep these new knives in good shape for the next 30 years. :)

Their wedding day 30 years ago.

Work Baby Shower and sneak preview...

And finally, a sneak preview to the maternity pix that my dad took of me! Thanks so much mom and dad for helping with this little project. It was so good to get it done, especially since we have only 2 weeks to spare. Walter and I realized recently that we didn't have a single picture of us that someone had taken throughout this whole pregnancy. Sad, huh. Well, we fixed that! Pictures to follow of our "maternity shoot."

We have a doctor's appt. in the am. Tomorrow I will post on any progress...forgot to post last week that I am 80% effaced, no dilation. We are excited to see if anything has changed! 17 days to go!

37.5 weeks

37 weeks

I'll admit it, I've been a blog slacker lately. No excuse. Lame. :)

Today I am 37 weeks! Wahoo. Only 20 days left (hopefully) 'til we get to meet our sweet little busy boy. I have been feeling really good this week. Lots of energy and motivation to get all the last minute stuff done before d-day. ;) I've been on a few 4 mile walks and have enjoyed the weather SLOWLY improving. We finally got our tax return + home tax credit back and splurged on an outdoor set. We love it. Now we are just praying that it warms up finally. Don't worry, living in Central Oregon my whole life I know not to hold my breath!

I had a great time last week at my work baby shower... I will post pictures tomorrow. It was soooo good to see all my work girlies and catch up on all the St. Charles drama and news. Ha! We got a very generous gift card for Target and other great blankets, toys, etc. We were able to finish most of the items on our registry. We finally feel "ready" for baby Owen. As ready as we think we can be at least. I will have to do a post on how our life and house (space) have already changed and he isn't even here yet! Jeesh.

My mom and I are getting up early to go garage salin' and estate salin' tomorrow. It has become a weekly tradition since I've been off work. Sooo much fun. We love finding good deals...especially on furniture. We love to refinish old stuff. I cherish this time so much with my momma and sisters when they are home.

Off to make some dinner, we ate a huge breakfast with Laura this morning and haven't been feeling hungry all day. I think we're gonna have a grilled chicken salad tonight. Keep it light! :) Night night!
