41 weeks...and still waiting

Given my family history of having babies early, my mom flew in on Feb. 19, just 3 days before Baby Girl #2's due date, fully expecting her to already be here! She was planning on coming to, of course, meet the newest grandbaby, but also to help out with Annaliese and the overall adjustment to having two little munchkins. Well, here we are, a week and a half later and we are still waiting for her arrival! (The doctor has reassured us that she is 'happy as a clam' and that we will just keep waiting until she decides she's ready!)

40 weeks

My mom has filled the time by nesting for me:) She declared last Monday a cleaning day and cleaned and did laundry all day...just so she could have the rest of the week to play with Annaliese! She's also been doing the dishes, staying up on the laundry, and keeping Annaliese entertained. It's been super helpful because I haven't been sleeping well, so I've been able to nap at least once a day! 

There has also been lots of baking going on. Auntie Kelsey gave Annaliese her own little mixer for Christmas and Annaliese loves stirring and mixing!! And Grandma, aka Baba, loves to bake...and we love to eat...so it's perfect!

 Apple Pie

 Sugar Cookies

Chocolate Chip Cookies

And there were lots of other fun activities too!

 Blowing bubbles

 Watering the plants

 Playing with all the kitchen utensils and water...endless fun!

'Paper' Dolls...they are actually magnetic!!

 Reading stories\

Playing with pipe cleaners and making headbands and necklaces

  Annaliese and Baba watching the tractor plow the fields next door

Running around outside

We finally got some much-needed rain with left us with lots of mud puddles. Today, during a break in the rain, we headed outside to collect some eggs, take out the trash, and play a bit!

We've also spent time doing puzzles, watching Veggie-Tales, going shopping, and playing at the park. I'm sure we will have more pictures this week!
