Memorial Day - Adventure at Chagrin River


T-minus 11 Days and counting. We are really coming down the finish line here and just in time too! The weather is getting really warm in Cleveland. I don't know how all you mom's were pregnant through the heat of July and August! My hat goes off to you!

We spent an hour on Memorial Day with the Dogs at the Chagrin River. It was Belle's first swim and I think she did pretty great, although she mostly just followed Ace around and tried to keep up with him. There is video footage below, only about a minute, but just testing the blog and video uploads so we can give you all some video of BGS when she arrives!


We then headed over to my Mom & Dad's for a Memorial Day Cookout and JD's Birthday Dinner (as Monday marked the beginning of the Drcar Birthday Week - a tradition carried on to our house as well)


It was a gorgeous day for relaxing, playing bocce, and spending time with the family before the baby arrives. Even the "Daddy-to-be" caught a few minutes of nap time in the shade with the pups. Also, a rare occurance, a profile picture of the "Mommy-to-be" AKA "Pumpkin Belly."



We will keep you posted on the next couple of weeks. Due Date: June 7th

Any takers for guessing actual delivery date?

Sending Lots of Love and Hugs!

Homestretch!





Hugh and I are on the final approach to June 7th! We are pretty much set with our "nesting" phase. The Nursery is ready, the House is set, the Yard is complete. All we need is our little girl to come home and check out her home!

We were lucky to have an additional ultrasound on Friday, May 8th. Our Doctor was concerned because I am measuring about 2 weeks behind. She will certainly be surprised to hear that we are right on target. We are 35 weeks and 4 days. Only 3 days behind the original "Guesstimate"


She is 6 lbs. 0 oz. currently and we got a few good profile shots and one really good front view of her face. She looks a little alien-esque, but you can make out a few great facial features.
We will keep you posted on our progress! The official countdown begins now!
We hope everyone is off to a great spring! We love and miss you all!
