SUE!!!! The largest most complete fossil of a t-rex in the world...found by Sue Henderson in SOUTH DAKOTA :) (Sue is not known to be male or female-it just got its name from the person who found it) The Head is separate because its 600lbs and wts to much to put on the body.

We walked 6 hrs straight before taking a break. I even tired out the kids!

McDonalds

The first McDonalds was in Des Plaines, IL. Here is what it looked like!

Brookfield Zoo

Headed to the Brookfield Zoo today with Jonni (friend from High School) and her kids (Aaron, Leola, and Stori), and her mom (florence)....At one of the exhibits they had free face painting. Well I didn't paint my face, but....

UOP

Troy's job...

Gifts in the mail!

A friend of mine, Morgan, sent me so cool gifts for baby today! She is a dental hygienist so she always likes to give teeth gifts--which I think makes it even more special..and easy to remember who I got stuff from :) I wish I could some how get the feeling of the blanket to you guys---its like heaven!

JM Meet up!

Meet up Kyle and we headed down to Navy Pier where we did a JM (online group) meet up with Anna (and baby Alexa) and Resi (wand baby Oliver) !!! It was a good time.

What do you do on your day off?

What do you do on your day off? Well standing in the rain on a street corner with a statement sign isn't what I do.

Rainy Day

It was a good storm day! I know how one of my blog readers loves a good rain storm (Amy) so I thought I would snap a couple shots. :)

MAIL!!!

Today I got a few packages.
One package of receiving blankets/nipple butter for breastfeeding/baby sun hat. Second package was a amber necklace for baby's teething. Third package was two Wonder Wraps Diaper covers. And packages 4 & 5 were packages of tiny bubbles soap for cloth diapers that I got free on a blog giveaway. My newest bear is only for picture purpose!

Tuesday night special

Tuesday night is 40cents wing night at Buffalo's Wild Wings so we of course headed there...the boys (jason/troy) got into it. (love how troy's ears turn bright red with spicey food!).Then one of the customers there decided to sport the pulled up socks with shorts AND sandals!And finally on the way home we had to stop by and get a slushy and I found some pop rocks---Troy loves the sound, so I shared it with him :)

Chinese Cookie fortunes

Went out for some Chinese food today and when we got our cookies here was our fortunes....


Here was mine:
Here is Troy's and we about died laughing since he is the one with all the pregnancy symptoms and is kind of miserable these days :DAnd here is our lucky numbers---we both had 22---wonder if thats a sign baby is coming on the 22nd?!

Practice makes perfect

Used a stuff bear to practice my fold techniques with my prefold cloth diapers (more the old school type diaper). It would have a cover on it if I was using for real...and thats a snappi on it (the "new" version of the pins)

Farmer's market

Stopped at the farmer's market today. They are much smaller here then they are in CO, and with a lot less options. But we got some nice fresh veggies.

My second home

Mon-Friday I will be visiting this location till baby is born! Its the Wahls of Wellness (the Wahls are the doctors last names--its a family place). Anyway I know go for 5 x's/week chiropractor appointments and 2 x's/week acupuncture. This is the view outside of the office...And here is me with a few of my acupuncture needles in.

New toy for troy and the car seat

Well with all this fluffy mail I have been getting I thought we best get something for Dad also....So today troy got his new toy. Its a new Calaway golf club--and yep he took it out for a spin already. :)We also decided to attempt to install the car seat. Not sure if we did it correctly because it just seems like there should be more to it then hooking the two LATCH system clips to the clips in the car. I have a voice mail out to the local car safety inspection people...we need to have it checked to make sure its in correctly. I think we will have to have them walk us though every type of instillation though since our rental cars change so much.

Harry potter and MORE fluffy mail :)

Tonight we caught the newest Harry Potter movie! It was pretty good overall...a little choppy here and there but overall I was happy with it.And I got me some more fluffy mail! Not diapers this time but diaper changing accessories! I got a changing pad, some diaper liners, two sets of baby legs (they are like leg warmers), an amber teething necklace and two wet bags. Wet bags you put your dirty diapers in. The little one goes in a diaper bag and the big one is a wet/dry bag---it has a compartment for clean/dry things and one for dirty/wet things and it can hang on a door knob.

Tub practice.

The midwife gave us our birthing tub at our last appointment and tonight we got an air pump and tested it out. This is pretty much the biggest portable birthing tub on the market-it has handles and a stool inside it and everything!!!!... Can't believe we are getting so close! And before you ask ---NO we are not leaving it there! LOL

Getting some Basketball in and more fluffy mail!

Got my brand new Thirsties Duo Diaper covers in today!!!!!!!!! They are so cute, I love the bright colors.
Also tonight after dinner we got together with some friends to play some B-Ball (ok I didn't play but I cheered really well!)

Who's got the bigger bumpage?!

A group of us went to The Olive Garden tonight. And I had TONS of food--so post dinner was a good bump going on....so here is me and my friend Jason pushing out our bumps to see who's is bigger after such a large meal...(DAMN his is still bigger than mine!).
