Yep, you heard right...no baby yet! BUT we did get something else pretty exciting this week...a snow day! Mom and I got to stay home together and play all day. The snow was more of a wet 'mush' so we didn't go out and play in it, but it was still a nice and much needed day to relax at home together. This weekend though, I DID finally go outside and play in the new snow with mom and dad. Mom wasn't too capable of fitting her big body and mine on the saucer sled, so she snapped some pictures while dad and I went down the hill.
My favorite thing to do every morning (which has become a daily routine) is to come into mom and dad's bedroom and have some milk and a snack on their bed and watch a little bit of The Cat in the Hat. It's a rare occurance when mom and dad aren't rushing around to get ready for the day, or that dad is actually home when I wake up on a weekend because he's at the farm or working, so this weekend I enjoyed waking up and doing my routine WITH mom and dad in their bed:) Nothing better than snacks, TV, and snugglin' with my parents!
Today we celebrated my Great Grandma Valerie's upcoming 80th birthday! Her birthday is on Wednesday March 7th, so who knows, maybe she'll share it with my baby sister?!?! Anyway, we had a great celebration with all of moms family...
"Happy Birthday to you...happy birthday dear Grams, Happy Birthday to you!"
The whole family
(In Front is Grams and her 3 girls- Great Aunt Julie and Tracey and Granny...the back is the grandkids, great grandkids, son/grandson-in laws, and grandma's sister Aunt Imogene and Uncle Lawrence

What a special day with a very special Grandma!
Baby Update... 39 Weeks
(Hopefully this is the LAST 'in the belly' update before we meet the little peanut!)
Well, we thought for sure she would have made her arrival today, since this is how many days early Danika was, but obviously by the last 9 months, every pregnancy is different and she'll come when she's ready. I do definitely feel like I'll go early though, even if it's just a few days. She is still SO high in my belly and I'm very uncomfortable with her butt and feet in my ribs, but I just keep telling myself it's not for much longer and it's well worth it! I've had some intense contractions, but when I slow myself down they usually subside and I haven't had more than 5 in an hour, so no major concern at this point. My midwife did check me this week and I'm dialated to 2cm and 50% effaced....which means progress is happening, BUT it also means I could sit like this for another week! Only time will tell:) Like I mentioned above Wednesday is my grams' birthday and Friday is my sister's birthday, so maybe it will happen on one of their days, or maybe she'll have her own special day:) I hope the next time you hear from us we will have news and pictures to share of baby Dummer!
Have a great week!
Love,
Danika, Daren, & Jamie
