Update

I guess there really is no update. I've been having Braxton-Hicks all day long for the last three days, but as of my appointment yesterday there's really no progress. Baby is still floating around and no dilation to speak of. But I guess that's ok because we still don't have the baby's room ready.

Pictures

Here are a couple pictures from Daniel's triathlon. His final time was 1h 25m. I'm so proud of him!

But, I'm even more proud of him for this! It's been a long road, but he's finally done with school! But unfortunately not done with the studying. He's going to jump right into stuyding for his CPA - his goal is to complete all 4 tests this summer before we leave for Houston. I know he can do it!

3 Weeks and Counting!

We are 37 weeks today, that means our little boy is coming soon! We are very excited. I will be even more excited when Daniel is finally done with all his finals and graduation so that we can get the room ready - that's stressing me out slightly.Last Saturday was the annual Gerow Kite Fly in Goshen. We had lovely weather - the wind could have been a little better.

Yesterday Daniel competed in the Telos Timp Tri (the same sprint triathlon we did in November). He did pretty well and today is definitely feeling the effects of not having trained. I'm not gonna lie - I can't wait to have my body back so I can do stuff like that again (sigh). I forgot my camera so resorted to the cell phone and if I can ever figure out how to get the pictures on to a computer I will post them.

Mostly we're just excited for Daniel's graduation and the arrival of our little boy!

Easter Fun

Yes, Easter is over, but I had to share this awesome craft we did. I saw it on a blog last year and had to try it out this year. The idea came from Marth Stewart's website:Basically you take scraps of silk and wrap it around raw eggs and then cook 'em and the dye from the silk transfers to the eggs. We were so excited they turned out and kept the extra silk scraps for next year. I highly recommend trying this out! Two very enthusiastic thumbs-up!

Shower Fun

34 week belly

Mom Gerow threw me a fabulous baby shower last weekend. Lots of frieds and family were able to come (about 30). Everyone had a great time thanks to mom's hard work.

Everyone got to guess the size of my belly by cutting a piece of yarn (grandma Gerow won - she was within a 1/4 inch!). We also played the candy bar game - always well received.

One of the activities that greeted guests as they walked in was to pick a letter of the alphabet and then draw a picture to correspond with the letter. The pictured pages are going into plastic sleeves in a binder for baby's first alphabet book. It's such a cute idea and I found out that I have a lot of talented friends and family.

Here's grandma Gerow working on her contribution.

My favorite activity was having the guests create pictures of what our child will look like (as an adult). There were three different face pictures each of me and Daniel cut up into foreheads, noses, mouths, chins and ears. Each group of people grabbed one of each face part at random and then put them together to create our child's face. It was oh so hilarious. Some of them looked normal and some of them were down-right frightening. I will have to posts pictures of them later.

Corrin and Amber drove up from AZ and NV. It was so much fun to have them here - even if it was just for a very short while. And of course getting to play with this little guy was a highlight of the weekend. Spencer is the cutest, happiest baby who loves to smile and giggle.

Here he is looking like a cool dude in his shades.
