Spring!

39 weeks+.  So ready to meet our little girl already!  I think we are getting very close since I was hit hard by stomach flu symptoms today.  At the risk of grossing you out, my online searches have revealed that the body often likes to "make space" right before labor. Thank you, Nature.  I now have zero energy and the just the thought of pushing a baby out makes me tired.  Hoping I feel much better tomorrow.  On a positive note, I took the day off work and got a lot of extra sleep in our quiet house.

It's okay, Momma, we're here for you

On to better things...

Maggie had a fun week at home with her Daddy.  They went out and did fun activities everyday.

My favorite date

They attempted to go to the Belle Isle Aquarium with Grandpa on Friday, but unfortunately it was closed (sea life is Maggie and Grandpa's special thing).  They went over the conservatory and Grandpa showed all the different plants to Maggie.

Smells like spring!

We attempted to go to a Tigers game last Thursday, but it ended up being delayed almost 4 hours (once again, thank you, Nature).  So we hung out with Maggie, ate some Bucharest in the parking lot and eventually went into the stadium to walk around.  We had skipped Maggie's nap, and the tantrums and tears were abundant!  Jamie drove us home and then went back downtown with his buddy.

Here's Maggie playing catch with cousin Ryan before we left for the game:

Hanging with crazy Uncle Alain in the car

I'm ready to go!

Jamie has finally started his new passion of beer brewing.  He ordered a bunch of equipment, so we had a nice big box for playing.  It is now Maggie's new home (but we let her sleep in her bed when she's a good girl ;)

Welcome to my humble abode

Yeah, I'm thinking of doing some remodeling
Really love the original cardboard
floors and walls though

This change to warmer weather has been awesome!  We went to the park on Saturday and Maggie had a fantastic time.  There was a family of older kids, and the two girls let Maggie follow them around and helped her climb things.  It was so wonderful to see Maggie "make friends" but also kind of sad... she doesn't need us as much anymore!

Isn't this weather simply marvelous?!

Can't catch me

Maggie and I spent about an hour blowing bubbles yesterday.  She's so focused on her task, it's a lot of fun to goof around with her.

You, Mr. Popcorn, look delectable.
Say goodbye to everyone!
