What a great Easter weekend. The weather was great! We didn't do a whole lot, got to stay home the entire weekend. What a switch, but SOOO nice!! Adam was off the both days, and we got the last of the odd and end things done for Beth before she makes her arrival.
Saturday was pretty relaxing. Adam and I got the last couple things out of the attic for Beth's room, including the bassinet and little bath tub. Nick is so cute when it comes to Beth's baby things. It's like it's Christmas for him! "Ohhh, is Beth going to use that? Ahhh, she's going to love that! OOOOOOHHH! That's so cute!" And then it is usually followed by a little giggle. Adorable!!
I got the bedding for the bassinet washed, and the rest of Saturday was spent watching general conference, and just hanging out the four of us.
Sunday was a little more eventful. Nana, PawPaw, Mom and Dad all came up for lunch. But, before they even got here, chaos ensued. While emptying the dishwasher, I broke a small glass bowl, and glass shards went everywhere. It couldn't have been just a simple break... NO, it shattered. UGH! Then, while cleaning that up, Adam found the boys in their room witha bottle of Windex, spraying the walls and carpet. Needless to say, after running the fan in there for the last 24 hours, it still smells like cleaner. Luckily the only thing I was in charge of for lunch was BBQ potatoes, so that was easy enough.
We had a nice lunch, then Dad hid the eggs in the back yard for the boys. They had a blast! Nick had been worried that morning that the bunny had forgotten them, so he was very excited to learn that the bunny had tricked him and hid the stuff in the back yard. Mom and Dad got the boys new "big boy" swings for the swing set, so now they can swing in the back yard. Of course they had to try them out, and they both love them. Nana and PawPaw got the boys battery operated bubble blowers, which they also love!
All grandparents left late afternoon, and I sure was exhausted by that time. I had contractions on and off all weekend, but not any other progress from what I can tell. The contractions are getting stronger, though, and I keep thinking any time. I was officially 35 weeks yesterday for Easter, so little Beth sure can make her appearance soon! :)
sounds like you had a fun weekend! i always love the little "helpers" when new babies are on the way. it almost gets to a point where you just want to forget it, but i think they need to get it ready just as much as you do.
