Mark your calendars for Tanner's Birthday!

Well unless Tanner decides to make his appearance a little too early his birthday will be April 8th! We are scheduled for a c-section at noon on that Wednesday and we're excited. It's so nice to finally have the date set! That will put me at exactly 38 weeks and since we already think he will be big the doctor is perfectly fine to take him that early. Now I just have to make it 5 more weeks and finish getting everything ready for him to come!

32 Week Check Up

Today was my 32 week check up even though I will be 33 weeks tomorrow. We've managed to get a little behind but it's no big deal. Dr. Hammer says he is expecting Tanner to be pretty big. We'll have an ultrasound at our next appt. (almost 36 weeks) and see just how big we think he'll get and that will pretty much be it for visits until the c-section. We explained how having Tanner during spring break would help to make some of my 14 day unpaid period actually paid and he said he would be perfectly fine taking Tanner up to 14 days early! That would be April 8th and that is what we are trying to get. They'll call in the next couple days to schedule everything so pretty soon we'll know Tanner's birthday!!! It's exciting to be counting down and to have that big question answered. I would never risk the health of Tanner because of finances but as long as he will be fully developed and ready to come out than the sooner the better! Now we just have to hope that Tanner cooperates and waits to come until he's told! At least there are only 23 days left of work and in about 5 weeks we will meet our son!

Weekend and a Snow Day!

We had a pretty nice weekend despite the yucky weather! On Friday I went out with some girlfriends to dinner at Cracker Barrell (I was craving blueberry pancakes!) and to see the new Shopaholic movie. I've read all of the books so I was excited to see how they turned into a movie. It was good and pretty close to the book. We had a really nice time and it was great to get out for a little while. When I got home Noah's friends Aaron and Ben were in from Vermont. They were just stopping through on their way down to Florida. We hung out with them for a little while and then went to bed.

On Saturday morning we had a nice breakfast and then Aaron and Ben headed out. We went to Joe Michael's 50th birthday party. It was a big surprise and it was lots of fun. We ended up hanging out there until about 9 or so. We had great food and Izabel had so much fun running around and playing with Madison who is only 4 days younger than her.

Sunday we finally went shopping and got the rest of the stuff for Tanner's room. We're pretty much done now accept for some decorative things on the walls. I'll pick those up a little at a time like I did for Izabel. We also went to Best Buy to have them look at our computer that is all messed up and then to Target. By the time we hit the check out line at Target I could barely walk and Izabel was asleep in the cart so we knew it was time to go home!

Talk about Shop til you Drop!
Monday we woke up to not much snow but icy roads Traffic was a mess and most schools were either closed or delayed. Luckily school for me was closed so I got to sleep in a little bit and then hang out with Izabel all day. We washed three loads of clothes and blankets for Tanner which doesn't sound like a lot but when you realize how many baby clothes can fit in a load you start to realize just how long three loads can take to fold! We got it all done but not quite put away. Right now his crib is filled with clothes! Noah got home pretty early and we all got to have another day together. We watched it snow even though there was hardly any snow on the ground and we relaxed.

I knew there would be school today but I was still hopeful when I got up this morning! Unfortunately there was no such luck! Being a teacher means I will never be one of those parents that hopes school doesn't get canceled due to snow! Well only 23 days left of work before I go on maternity leave! Hope everyone had a nice weekend despite the weather and got to enjoy at least a little bit of the snow day!!!
