Hello there baby boy! We have had another pretty exciting week and I'm going to do my best to catch you up on all that has happened. You are officially 24 weeks 1 day and the time before you arrive is just slipping away. We are so excited to meet you but, I have to admit, we have A LOT to do before you get here. I was talking to Jess on the phone this week and catching her up on what the doctors have been saying lately. When I told her that the doctor said that your "critical time" would be between 28 and 32 weeks, she was like, "Wow, so you could possibly have a baby in the next 6 weeks"(!) which is a very real possibility and it freaked me out a little bit. I really don't have any strong feelings that you are going to have to arrive super early, (and we are PRAYING that you can wait until your due date in June) but we need to prepare for anything and everything. Because of this, Operation Get Ready For Bean is commencing tomorrow. I am following in the footsteps of the great mommy Becky Hoyle and going through every room in this house, purging along the way. We are going to get rid of anything that is unnecessary, donate clothes, shoes, and toys to Goodwill, and basically get the house ready to move rooms around to accommodate another Terry resident.
Now, back to our week. The early week was pretty uneventful. I can't remember if I wrote to you last Sunday or Monday, but Monday Grandma Cindy was still here and we had so much fun running errands and going out to lunch with her. Daddy had the day off of school, but he still had lots of basketball stuff to do. Grandma had to leave around 4:30 and we spent the rest of the evening hanging out at home. Tuesday we laid low during the day and Daddy had a big basketball game against Thornton Tuesday night. Grandma Carol came over to go to the game with us and we spent the whole night cheering for Daddy's team. It was a great game, but Daddy's team ended up losing by 5 points at the very end. It was a big bummer but the boys played very well. It was a particularly devastating loss because it meant that Thornton secured the Conference Championship...or so we thought. More on that later.
Wednesday was a fun day. We got up in the morning, ate breakfast, and went to Becky and Finn's to play. Tenley happily played with Finn, Gus, and V for the whole morning and even went potty on Finn's potty chair! Mommy was so proud of Tenley- it was the first time she ever went potty in a big potty. She was very serious about this task and took her sweet time until she felt like going. You can blackmail your sister with this picture later in life- just tell me before you do it!
Thursday was a VERY fun day. Since Daddy was going to be gone all day and all night for the third day in a row, I decided that we needed to get out of the house and do something exciting. We went to Bellaboo's in Lake Station for the day and Tenley loved it. I can't wait to take you there, too! She loved playing in the water room, the kitchen, and the grocery store. At the very end of our time there, she decided to try the face painting room and loved the big mirror. It was a great time and we will probably be heading back there very soon.
Friday was a normal day but an extremely exciting night. We took it easy during the day so that Tenley would be up for Daddy's away basketball game. Daddy's team played Stagg High School and it was his last regular game of the season. The last time Daddy's team played Stagg, Mommy was in DC for Baby Cuddy's surprise shower. The game came down to a last second shot that you can hopefully see here:
When we arrived at the game, the Stagg crowd was out in full force. Their cheering section was awesome and both teams came to play. After 14 lead changes, Daddy's team was up by 3 with 7 seconds to go. Stagg had the ball, inbounded it and went for a 3....and missed! Phoenix won! Immediately after the buzzer went off, we found out that Thornton had lost to Thornwood that evening which meant that Daddy's team had tied with Thornton as Conference Co-Champions. It was such an exciting night and we are so proud of Daddy and his team for a great season so far. We are hoping that this stellar win will propel his team into a great bout of tournament play. After the game, the Stagg coach came into the locker room to congratulate Daddy and gave him the game ball. Tenley loved playing with it and it was such a special thing for that coach to do :)
After the excitement of Friday night, the rest of our weekend has been pretty low key. Daddy watched Tenley for me last night so I could go see the play that Laney was in (and Casey directed). Today, Daddy took Tenley to a basketball game and then they picked us up to go to Miner Dunn for lunch. That pretty much wiped us all out and we came straight home to take naps:
Tonight will be spent watching the Oscars (Mommy), scouting basketball games (Daddy), playing (Tenley) and kicking Mommy (You). In all the hubbub of the weekend, we were able to take a belly pic today- here you go!
Once more thing before I go for now- after trying and trying (and trying and TRYING), Tenley went both #1 and #2 in the potty yesterday afternoon. I know it's another blackmail picture, but it's just too cute not to share! Love you, Bean!
