8 days little love

I didn't wanna put 7 days and 3 hours because then daddy would freak out :P But there it is. I almost thought you were coming today! This morning there was lots of contractions pretty darn close together. But after I ate and tried not to panic, I woke daddy up and asked him to rub my tummy because that usually helps me feel better and we watched X-men first class. It was enjoyable. We also timed the contractions and at first it was every 7 minutes, then every 8, then every 16 then not for 45. So eventually we all calmed down. Then I was finally able to sleep after not sleeping so well. I've noticed that-if I don't sleep so good this happens.
Anyway I'm a little worried for tomorrow. Thankfully it's our last amnio and I'm really hoping we don't go into labor. To tell the truth I want to recover from the soreness of that first. But if I know you, you'll come out when you want. And I must say I think I know you pretty well by now!

But right now I'm just trying to think of any last minute things we can do together as a family before you come. Let's see we've:
1. Gone to the zoo
2. Visited grandma and grandpa
3. Watched fireworks
4. Went to the farm and played with the animals
5. Picked apples and made (and ate) pie
6. Gone to the library and read books out loud
7. Shopping of course
8. Eaten lots of interesting foods.
9. We've celebrated Valentine's Day, St. Patrick's day, daddy's birthday, Easter, Memorial Day, 4th of July. The only things you'll miss are Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. And you aren't really missing too much Halloween wise, though I would have loved to dress you up for a comic con or something. And at Thanksgiving you'll get the best feast ever and at Christmas you'll get to meet our Savior-the reason we celebrate it!
10. Went to the playground and went down a slide, went on the swings, went spinning like crazy on the merry-go-round thingy.
11. You've been to 4 states!
12. You love church! (The music is your favorite part I think)
13. We've played patty cake and given you zerberts.
14. We've even sang to you a couple times-sorry I'm not really good-but at least daddy can carry a tune.
15. You've been to a bonfire and had smores

Now I'm trying to think of any thing else we can all do together. I'll have to ponder it a little more so we can add to the list if I've missed anything.
I love you!
