Quick Update

So this morning I got a phone call at work from my doctor's office letting me know that my doctor was already inducing someone else Monday morning and that they would have to reschedule me for Tuesday, Feb. 17th! AAAHHH!!!! It is still earlier than next Sat. the 21st and I could still go into labor on my own...but it was a bit of a bummer to get that phone call. Thanks for all the prayers!

Baby News

Thanks to Ryan for taking some fun pictures of our family before we have our baby girl! When I was pregnant with Jonas he came 3 days early and we never really got to have a 'photo shoot'. We went to the doctor today and everything is about the same - I am 3 cm dilated and having lots of false contractions - they are wearing me out! The doctor is going to induce me on Monday, February 16th if nothing has happened before...so we are still playing the waiting game...and I am still dragging myself into work everyday. Not for much longer though! We are really excited to meet our baby girl!

Exploring new spaces

Lately Jonas has been climbing up on things, climbing into things, and diving off of things. He is accumulating more bruises and bumps as he learns about balance and depth perception through personal experience.
