Last Weekend as a Family of 3

I am finally getting around to the ole blog! Things have been slightly hectic around here! ;-)

Let me rewind a few weeks. I went to the doctor on August 19th. For the first time this pregnancy, my blood pressure was very elevated. Elevated enough that my doctor decided that she probably wouldn't let me go past 37 weeks. If you remember from Luci, I was put on bed-rest at 32 weeks and was induced at 37 weeks. I was very fortunate that my BP stayed low enough until right up at the end with Emmi. We still weren't 100%, but she threw out August 30th (my 37 week mark) as a possibility...but we would discuss more at my next appointment that following Monday.

Well, Mitch and I started kicking things into high gear. We put family and close friends on alert...just in case. In addition, we figured that the next weekend might be our last weekend together as a family of three...so we decided to make it a fun one!

We planned a FULL day of fun activities for Luci...and let me tell you....it wore the preggo Momma out to the max. I am still soooo glad we did it though! So, what did our day look like?

We started out for breakfast at the Egg and I! This is Luci's all time favorite place to eat breakfast!

Then, we headed out to the Nature Center for Luci to explore around a bit.

I had to take a little rest while we were there...

Then, we went and bought Luci a new pair of shoes...

Then, we headed over to the movie theater to catch Despicable Me 2!

I got realllly miserable at the movies, so we headed home for a little rest. While we were at home for a bit, we got a surprise gift delivered from Katie, compliments of Team McCormick! Are these shirts not adorable!?!

We also had a visit from Renata, Jathan, and Nana!

After a rest, we loaded up and headed out to the Park at West End. Luci rode the carousel...

and we had dinner at Boomarang Diner!

We finished off the evening with some ice cream! Mommy was sooo tired that we decided to get the ice cream to go...and this is why we don't let Luci eat ice cream in the car...she had it allllll over the place!!!

We enjoyed our last weekend together as a family of 3...but it did make me a little sad. One phase of our life was ending...however, I had no idea what was in store for the next few weeks...Emmi has completed our family in the most amazing way!! More on her birth and the first days at home to come!!!
