Awaiting Collin's Arrival

So I'm sitting here updating the blog this morning...Monday, October 18, 2010...4 days away from my "estimated due date." After my appointment last week, we were all certain that our little guy would have made his arrival by now. Madeline was born two weeks early and I've been walking around 3cm dilated and 50% effaced for what seems like an eternity. Today is the last day of Chris' six-day, which means he goes back to work tomorrow morning. We've enjoyed having him home for the last six days (with no OT...surprising) and have gotten a lot done around the house in anticipation of the arrival of our little boy. We've also enjoyed some great quality time together as a family of three. It is strange for me to think that sometime in the next couple of weeks we will be adding a member to our family. There certainly is enough love in the house to go around and we can't wait for Collin to come home. Here are some random pictures taken over the last six days...they are just too cute not to share!

Camping at San Onofre

We had a blast camping with the Medinas at San Onofre. We had the BEST spot on the beach and the kids loved being so close to the water. The weather certainly could have been a little better, but we all had fun nonetheless. The girls loved playing in the sand, throwing rocks into the water, and searching for treasures in the tidepools. They also had lots of fun riding their bikes up to the playground. When the weather got a little too icky for outdoor activities, we moved indoors and baked cookies, read books, and watched the kids dance. This was our last trip this year and as a family of three...we look forward to heading back out again as a family of FOUR in the near future!

Baby Shower

On October 2nd, my dear friends Hillary and Kari threw me a lovely baby shower brunch.
It was great to spend a relaxing morning with a few close friends and family in anticipation of Collin's arrival.
