Cancelled, cancelled, and more cancelled

We had planned a lot for the end of summer to try and soak up our last bit of time as a family of 3. Good planning....unless you are put on bed rest at 32 weeks. It has been somewhat depressing to make the calls and emails to cancel all of our plans. Here's what we are missing out on...

- trips to KC to see my family. My older brother Scott and his wife Lindsey who live in CA were in town right after I got out of the hospital. Luckily they were able to make a stop here in Columbia to see us, thanks guys!

- a weekend trip to Lake of the Ozarks with some great family friends of my dad's. This would have been our 3rd summer going and we were REALLY looking forward to it...now we wait til next year!

- our Babymoon! Brett and I had planned a weekend in St Louis to get away one last time with Braylen and spend some quality family time. Braylen has been talking about his "moon-baby" all summer and was SO looking forward to going to the zoo. We are hoping to still make it before winter time, baby in tow of course!

- mommy and Braylen date day! This wasn't fully planned yet but I knew I definitely wanted to make a day just for us before my attention is taken away feeding his little sister. Since I can't pick him up or chase after him right now, this has become a no-no too. Last night we planned a date for this week playing in Mom and Dad's jacuzzi tub and eating ice cream so daddy is here if we need anything and I will still be sitting. We are settling but I think he will love it nonetheless.

Even in spite of all this, every day we keep labor away is another day baby girl can grow and become healthier, can't put a price tag on that.

And I want to throw in a picture of my boy cheesing it up!
