Rock Climbing!

My greatest accomplishment this week is that I made it to 36 weeks!! I am quite excited, and so is Bri. The only down side now though is that Bri lets me do things for myself. I have to say it was quite nice to have him do my dirty work, (ex: carry the laundry upstairs). Now he just looks at me and smiles... hmmm...

I thought this week would never get here. The OBGYN says after 36 weeks they won't stop my labor if it happens. That makes me relieved, but also a little nervous. I decided I should probably start getting ready for this little babe! I finally pulled out the baby clothes and washed them. This is a great picture of all the pink we have! I didn't realize I have ingrained it into my girls at such an early age. No wonder Ashtyn is obsessed with pink!!!

We have been rock climbing before, but my girls have never been so brave as they were today! Yay! Teralyn climbed about halfway up the wall and Shay made it to about a third of the way. Quite the accomplishment.



Brian's first chance at rock climbing! He made it to the top even though he went to bed at 4:00 last night (we stayed up talking to Michelle).



(Michelle and Ashty) Ashtyn and I hung out and watched everyone rock climb. We had a great time with the crayons and walking in tire chips. Ashtyn has to wait until she is five and I have to wait until, well I can...





The girls went swimming with the Walburgers and Terry girls after. Brian bribed Tera and Shay with candy bars if they would float on their back for ten seconds (we have been working on this for a while now). Ashty watched the whole thing and decided it was time for Brian to learn. She spent the last ten minutes trying to get her dad to float by pushing his head down and pulling his ears! I think she almost drown him. Michelle and I had a good laugh.

Yay for 36 weeks!! I remember getting there with Nina and being so happy - of course she was born less than 2 days later... I'd still get Brian to carry the laundry for ya! :) Looks like climbing and swimming was fun - I love energetic family time!! :)

Good luck getting everything ready! I just spent the weekend moving Ethan into Jeffy's room and getting the nursery ready for another baby, and I'm not even pregnant yet! Mostly, I'm getting Ethan ready to grow up (he turns 4 this week). The rock climbing looks way fun!

Shay's B-day, Maple syrup, and Cryosurgery

Image
This last week has been a little crazy for our family. Most of us have been sick (except Brian, Shay, and I) so it's been fun battling fevers and antibiotics, but also trying to do field trips, volunteering at school, doctors appointments, science projects, birthdays, basketball, ballet, iceskating etc. Whew!! I'm glad it's over. Although today is a catch up day on Tera and Shay's science projects, so I will let you know if we survive or not. Okay, a little recap on some of the things we did this last week. *I went on a really fun field trip with Ashtyn and her preschool. We went to Brookside Nature Center to see the Maple tree farm they have. I have to tell you, it was one of my favorite field trips I have ever been on. We got to see the sap from the Maple trees come out and into the buckets and we got to taste the real maple syrup. It was so yummy. It's going to be hard to go back to the fake stuff... We learned all about photosynthesis and it even stopped rainin

Yep, we had our baby and feel so blessed. Sorry it has taken me so long to post, it's been an adventure that we never expected this last week, but now we are all well and happy. She was 6 pounds 9 ounces and is 19 inches long. I'll write the story soon. Here's some pictures ... Brynley in the NICU.... Going home day!

Club Feet

Image
Brynley was born with club feet. She had to have casts on both legs up to her thighs for eight weeks. She had new casts put on every week and a half to two weeks. During this time she had surgery on her tendons so they will grow longer. She finally graduated to braces that she had to wear night and day for six weeks. Now, she is out of her braces during the day and just wears them at night until she is four or five years. Phew! It's been a long process, but we are just grateful that this is the only problem she has had to deal with. So, here are some pictures of her casts and braces, thought you might enjoy! First Casts Blessing day! Braces!
