Rain Rain Go Away!

This past week seems to have been filled with nothing but rainy days! Okay it might have not rained all week but the days that it wasn't raining it was hot and humid out (which is not fun at the end of pregnancy) which meant a lot of time indoors and caused us all to go a little stir crazy. After a busy weekend of running errands, scrapbooking for 7 hours with my mom (again not as fun as it sounds at the end of pregnancy), and spending some time with family we all needed to get out of the house today. After Robert and I took a good mid-day nap we decided to explore some of the parks in Maple Grove. We started by going to Elm Creek, a park Eric went to a lot as a kid, but discovered the playground was under construction and since we didn't bring swim suits to swim in the lake we ventured to the other side of Maple Grove and went to Fish Lake. They also didn't have a playground but we had fun walking the trails, checking out the beach that is free (unlike Elm Creek), and having a picnic lunch. It was so nice to be outdoors without the rain and humidity!

The week itself went well, minus the icky weather. My doctor appointment went fine and everything is on track for Izzy. I am starting to have some contractions but she is still sitting high so I'm not sure if we'll be seeing a July baby or not. Of course I'm hoping for the best but want her to be safe (and hopefully a little smaller than her brother). Robert has now been sleeping in his new room and bed for a week which means I'm ready to get the crib ready for Izzy. We'll be moving the bed height back up and putting the bumper back up. I did decide to leave the room as is but bought some letters to spell out Izzy and a picture frame that have now been painted in yellows & oranges to bring a little more girly touch to the room. I'll take most of the week after the 4th off and hopefully will finish up both Robert and Izzy's room during that time. Hope everyone has a great week and will get some time off with the upcoming holiday!
