Balloons

So Blake and I went to Provo this morning to see the balloons go up, but because of unfavorable weather conditions - no going up. But, some of them did inflate which was still pretty cool. As you can see in some of the pics we were pretty close to one while it was being filled with hot air.

We also got to see the Darth Vadar balloon, it and it's owners are from Belgium and it has been

all over the world and it was HUGE. Anyway it was fun!

More Stats

2 cm and about 90% effaced.  His head is "right there" and she said he's at about a level 0 (all you moms know what that means; for all you other people, there's a system for sort of measuring how low the baby is sitting in your pelvic area.  The highest is a +2, then a +1, then 0, -1, and -2.  I think -2 is crowning (obviously the lowest level).  She also sounded like she expects my water to break relatively soon- it's really tight, apparently.  At the end of my appointment, she said, "Well, I'll see you next week, or sooner!"  Good grief!

p.s. I also tested negative for Group B Strep.  Yay!  No iv for me!

Baby Shower

We had a fun and delicious baby shower for Heidi on Saturday. It was her first baby shower! You can tell what part was most important to me — the food. I didn't even take a picture of the mom-to-be or any of the guests!

I think it's safe to say that we are all dying to meet Rob Jr. Only one more month to go!

pool time

My neighbors have a pool. I'm serious. A real, in-ground pool. Whether they know it or not, I'm planning to spend a good chunk of my summer in their yard. Here are some pics of Ash enjoying some pool time.

Stats

I am at 1 cm and 80% effaced as of today.  Jr. is sitting pretty low (the doctor was surprised at how low he already is) and she thinks he'll be around 8 pounds.  Yikes.

Pinkie's Ballet

Pinkie had her ballet performance on Saturday. She was fabulous of course. Doesn't she look all grown up in her costume?

We are so lucky to have a wonderful ballet studio here in our town. The teacher is magnificent. She teaches the girls to be great people as well as great dancers.

Oh baby!
