Busy Weekend...

Well.  Still no baby so we decided that we could sit around and do nothing and wonder when the baby is coming out OR we could get out and about and sweat a little.  (IF you don't live in Iowa and are reading this it has been about 95 actual degrees with a crazy amount of humidity-making the heat index about 110 degrees!)  Seems like a great idea to get outside if you are incredibly pregnant right!?  So Saturday we went to Costco and then to the mall for a little walking.  We came home and took naps (a must have at this point in my life) and then headed to the ICubs game to see the "Cubbie bears" as Finnean calls them.  Abby and Cory had free meal tickets-so we had a picnic in the grass with them and enjoyed the beautiful Iowa summer day.  Finnean loved watching the game and liked to pretend to be the catcher.  He squatted down by his seat and would pretend to catch the ball and then throw it back to the pitcher.  Such an imagination!!  Sunday we headed to church and out to lunch (not much motivation to cook when it is super hot and super pregnant!!)  We had a HUGE success at lunch...Finnean went #2 in the potty.  Okay-maybe too much information but this is a huge deal!!! Some kids can't even go at their homes easily and he is rocking it in public!  We are so proud of our little potty boy!!  After naps we headed to "Cy's House" AKA Ames to see our friend Travis.  Finnean loves "Trav" and especially loved his "big, huge, giant motorcycle" that Travis showed Finnean.  He thought that was pretty cool to see it up close!!  After we said good-bye to Ames we hit up the grocery store and then we were all TIRED!!  Except about 10pm I got the urge to put things away, clean up our bedroom, get sheets out for our (hopefully) soon guests.  More nesting I guess.   I was up a couple times in the middle of the night with some strong contractions and then up for good at 5:30 with contractions that have continued to come.  Goodness, I hope this is really going to happen today.  Who knows-could just be false labor.  I just sent Michael off to work and I hoping that he has to come back home to help take care of Finnean due to the contractions getting stronger....a girl can hope right?!  We will be sure to keep you posted of little Cozmo's arrival.  Stay cool!
Finnean and Dad all sweaty after the baseball game!  Goodness it was "muddy" as Finnean calls it but it was fun to get out and do something with friends!

This is Finnean's "WOW! It's hot!" face!  Love these boys.

Finnean is giving a thumbs up due to his awesomeness.  He is such a big boy.  He has been doing great going potty like a big boy.  We are still a little nervous when we go out in public but he continues to amaze us!  He told us at the game (with all that cool stuff going on!!) and went in a public bathroom!!  Michael said it was about 130 degrees in the bathroom with no air movement.  They both came back covered in sweat but we could not have been happier!! He is such a big boy!!!
