Well, we've had a busy month. On Feb.7th we started potty training Emily and then on Feb.8th Janelle ended up in the hospital for a 4 hour stay with premature labour. After getting some medications we went home and Ehren ended up taking 3 days off work to be at home to help with Emily. It was all in good timing because Gramma Elaine arrived that friday for just over two weeks. It was a quieter visit than she's used to as we had to cancel our plans to go to Disneyland and spend more time around the house since Janelle wasn't always able to be on her feet a lot. Things got better though and as the month went on Janelle was more "mobile".
During this time Janelle took a cake decorating course...sitting once a week for two hours in Michael's was perfect! After a 4 week course she's planning on tackling a Mickey Mouse birthday cake for Emily on the 13th.
On Feb.23rd Aunty Grace and Uncle Blain came to visit, overlapping a few days with Gramma Elaine who was leaving on the 26th. We had a great time with them too and they saw a lot of San Diego. Between our 3 weeks of company Ehren and Janelle managed to get out a couple of times to the movies and a nice dinner at Donovan's! On March 3rd they left back to L.A. to catch their flight back to Calgary.
Baby news? Well, we're getting close! March 4th was our first check up to see if I was dilating. At just over 35 weeks I was dilated to 1cm...the Dr. figures things will be "early"! On March 5th we went to a 4 hour refresher course on "where baby's come from" :-)...actually a prenatal class (revised for those of us "experienced" parents). It was nice as we did get a few pointers out of it all. Today is March 11th and I just had another Ob appointment. I was told to pack my bags as I'm now dilated 2-3cm, 60% effaced, and she's expecting that I could deliver in the next week or so. Not so sure that Nana and Papa will make it back from Mexico for this one! :-) We're hoping to get Emily's birthday done with and then see how things go. Excited? YES! We're ready and can't wait for #2; we'll keep you posted!
