Today was a good day. Not only was it a day of love, but Ben was able to spend the entire day with us. The morning started out with me making some breakfast for my boys.
Scrambled eggs, bacon and toast.
After breakfast, I packed a few snacks for Josiah and we headed on up to the hospital where we will be having our baby. They just opened up the new birth center and although my Doula and I got to see it together my husband hadn't yet. So on our way up we went.
When we were done looking at the new birth center, Ben had a good idea to take the long route home. Which included stopping by the falls on the way. I am sure glad we did too! It is a really long hike if you take the entire thing, but because of my pregginess I wasn't able to walk very far. I seriously waddled the entire time. We just walked/waddled as far as the first falls, it was absolutely beautiful out! It was cloudy and just a little chilly, which was perfect for walking cause I seem to work up a sweat everywhere I go nowadays.
On the way back to the car we stopped by the little nature shop. We got a super cute little crocheted owl hat which was meant for Josiah, but I ended up wearing it most of the time.
Finally we were headed home. A long drive, but beautiful and green! Oh how I love Oregon for this!
Got home, laid Josiah down for his nap and Ben and I went to rest as well. We were pretty much lazy for the rest of the afternoon. Around 5 we went back out, went to the mall and got me a pair of toms that I had been wanting/needing. I have a really used up gray pair that are on their last leg and I love how comfy they are.
Then we went to the Roadhouse restaurant(which ended up being a long wait). Had a yummy dinner with the family. Usually we try to do a romantic dinner with just Ben and I, but this time both the parents were busy with other things and so we had to deal with our little man this year. He didn't do too bad, he ate mac'n'cheese and ate pretty much all of it. Hopefully soon we can have a little night out on our own one more time before our 2nd little one is born.
I was kinda hoping for some action today in the labor department, but not much really went on. I had contractions after doing our mini hike, but they went away fairly quickly. Look like she's not ready today. Tomorrow maybe?
I guess we will see!
Happy Valentines Day to all you with lovers and singletons!
I wish the best for all the same!
