Tomorrow marks 37 weeks gestation for baby boy #2 which means I'll be "full term" (baby can come now without being classified as premature). I am more than ready for this one to come and would prefer an earlier than later delivery date. But since my official due date isn't until October 4th, I'm trying not to get too excited about delivering soon. Regardless we are packing our "go-bags" in anticipation of the event...we'll keep you all posted!
As we finished up summer we took a trip to Milwaukee to spend a long weekend with Andy's family. Caleb had lots of fun playing with his cousins...
...and grandpa and grandma (and of course his aunties and uncles too).
The boys had fun playing in a blow up bouncy house...Caleb of course was obsessed with the balls
Andy and his brothers and dad all competed in the "Warrior Dash"...a 5K run with obstacles.
We went on a family outing to a small beach...Caleb wasn't so sure at first of the sand...
...but once he realized there was water to play in he was ready to go!
Other than that trip, Andy was also able to take a trip with a friend to the Boundary Waters for about 4 days and he had a blast and was glad he could sneak the trip in before we needed to hunker in and wait for baby to arrive.
Our only other news is that last week we got to make a trip to the ER because, as I like to to say, Andy sawed his hand. We had a bad storm that snapped a tree of ours in half. Andy brought the tree around back to saw it up into smaller pieces with a hand saw and after only a few minutes of sawing informed me we needed to go in and get stitches. We both thought stitches would be all he would need (maybe not even that). However, after a physicians assistant passed us on to an ER doc who then passed us on to a hand surgeon we realized it was a little worse than we thought. The wound was rather macerated, a tendon was exposed and no one could say for sure if it was damaged and after Andy got some x-rays they saw that he had cut into his joint. Thankfully in the end they decided not to do an operation immediately and that cleaning the wound extensively and stitches would be fine. Andy just had a follow up with a hand surgeon this week and they concured that surgery was not needed and they put a splint on his hand just in case the tendon had been injured (no way of knowing without doing an MRI). But it looks as though Andy will make a full recovery and he will be getting out his stitches soon...
looks like such a small cut to create so much headache!!!
