Our Weekend

Saturday, Natalie, Rusty, and I headed up to Indy to see my family since my parents were in town. The night before we had gotten a freezing rain/sleet storm so the roads were pretty icy. We waited to head out instead of the morning, we left around noon. The main roads were perfectly fine and we had no troubles.

We basically just went up to hang out, nothing really specific other than it happened to be Petunia's 2nd birthday and my sister went all out and made dog-friendly cupcakes that she decorated elaborately (she is very talented), Rusty got a "doggy treat bag" like kids would get at a kid's birthday party, and we all had special cupcakes from a local cupcake shop for all the humans.

Sorry Rusty, but you will be 5 this year and we have never had a "doggy birthday party" for you (I don't think many people do).

We headed back that night and Sunday was a pretty typical day for us: headed to church in the morning, grabbed some lunch, then Bobby watched football the rest of the afternoon/evening with James.

At church daycare this morning, when I went to go pick Natalie up, the ladies in the nursery said Natalie was hilarious and they wanted to keep her. I can only imagine that she was probably doing her typical dancing/bouncing moves and laughing/smiling. I told Bobby in the car that I hope Baby #2 is as happy as Natalie! We can only hope!

Update on Baby #2: We had another ultrasound on Friday to make sure the placenta had moved, which it had. Her heart rate was 148 and it is still a GIRL. My regular OB just had her baby, so I had to see another doctor, which I will see in another 4 weeks as well, then back to my regular doctor. She is still in the breech position and was in a "diving" position with her knee touching her nose (doesn't seem like the most comfortable). We still haven't decided on a name. I really like Aubrey Maryn Andreae, but Bobby really does not like the name Maryn at all, even though I said it would be like his favorite baseball team: the Mariners. I really like the name Maryn and even gave Bobby the option of being able to name her first name his favorite name, but still no budging from him. He really doesn't give much input on names, so until later on that!

Only 3 more weeks and Natalie turns 1!
