Walk

We went on a walk tonight on the Red Jacket Trail, I am not one to walk too far these days, I don't even wear tennis shoes anymore, ha.



Here is Brent on Randy's bench on the trail.

No baby yet

No, their is no baby yet, I thought maybe yesterday their would be, I had many cramps and pains, but nothing, here I am at work again for a new week.

This weekend was really nice, not too hot for one thing, which is always good for a pregnant woman. It all started Friday night when I got some new really comfortable flip flops for my ever swelling feet, they are awesome. I needed them, especially for Saturday to work at the volleyball tournament concession stand for Women of Today. I worked from 9-2 and then Brent and I went and met Heidi, Jason and Lucy and many other people at their new home in Mankato to help them move in. I tried to haul as many heavy things as I possibly could to jump start this labor, but no luck:) We are so happy to have them in Mankato, Lucy will be a great little friend for baby Wood. Heidi always said, she would live here again before our baby was born.

Sunday, Brent and I were supposed to go to Curt's triathlon, but I was nervous with all the cramps I was having, so we stayed closer to home. We went to brunch and stocked up on groceries and relaxed a bit. We went to an open house and fell in love with this house that we really didn't expect too, too bad we are not ready to move to a bigger house quite yet.

Well, I go to the doctor today, maybe he will tell me I have to stay, ha.

Waiting

My doctor appt. was on Monday and I am almost 3 cm dilated, woo hoo. I have had cramps and little pains here and there, but nothing yet. I am happy to be that far and not have much pain. I go again to the doctor on Monday. I thought going to the Thunder of Drums would rock little Baby Wood right out, but no such luck. However, the whole entire 3 hours of the show, the baby was dancing it up the whole time, it was awesome. I think we have a tuba player in the making:)

whoops

I accidentally ran over Brent's mountain bike tire in the garage on Monday, it got caught between my car and the garage wall, whoops.

North Mankato Triathlon

Brent and Curt participated in the North Mankato Triathlon this weekend, in which Curt won 1st place, way to go Curt. Brent did really well too, but he didn't think so. He thinks he needs to train harder now for the Heart of the Lakes Triathlon in July. We had a great time Sunday hanging out with Curt and Christine and Doug and Bev. We watched old videos and went for a walk on the Sakatah Trail. Monday night Curt and Christine came back down for the Thunder of Drums at MSU, it was a great night for it!


Brent after the finish.


Here is Lucy trying out Doug and Bev's new bike trailer, she loved it, so much that she fell asleep in it. They were so pumped to finally have someone who could try it out. Baby Wood will be a little small to ride in it this summer yet.

Here are a bunch of the swimmers right before the triathlon started. Brent is in the back with the black tri suit on with his hands on his hips.

Here comes Curt, first out of the water.

Brent coming out from the swim.

Finished Nursery

Here it is, the finished product, I love the colors and am so happy with how it all turned out. We still have a green shelf to hang up, but we now have everything we need to welcome baby Wood.





Even Thor is getting excited, he was just excited that the bed was made so he could take a nap. He slept one whole night in the crib to test it out, don't worry, when the baby is in there he will not be allowed in that room.

More pictures from the race

Here comes the peleton racing up Main St. Hill in Mankato to finish off the Mankato stage, it's a great spot to watch. Yes, I did walk up that hill 8 months pregnant, I would say that is equivalent to biking up it.



I liked this guy, he is covered in tattoos on his arms, legs and neck.

Check out that hill they have to climb, it's insane.

Here I am waiting for the women to come up the hill.
