I don't know why I went into Labor at 36 weeks and 6 days. I have looked back on that day and questioned everything I did... I'll never know exactly why. Only God knows, but this is what we did that day.
We spent the morning with great friends at the Austin Rodeo. The kids LOVE LOVE the animals. Feeding them, riding them, and just being in their presence!
Madison loved collecting the eggs from the pretend hens. There was a teenager working in this area. Her job was to take the collected eggs from the baskets and return them to the hen house. You could not pay me enough money to take that job.. OH WAIT! That is what I do at home... but not only with faux eggs, but with every toy we own!
I didn't take a lot of pictures. I was so tired! I waddled around and Jason pushed the kids in the stroller. We saw so many animals! Cows, pigs, sheep, chicks... and so on...
We ate lunch and then hit a few rides. The kids were not very interested in the rides. I was so surprised.
Tyler rode this one alone... (Notice his St. Patty Day beads?!)
We packed up soon after this ride and headed home. What a fun final day we had with our family of four.
Who knew that after your fun day together, you would then become a family of 5! When you said you were "so tired" that day, I remember the day I went into labor with Matthew at 36 weeks, I was so pooped that day at work too! I still wonder to this day what caused it and will it happend with Butterbean #2. Only God knows :)
ReplyDeleteit's so surreal to look back at the photos you took on the day everything changed. i remember constantly second guessing every move i made that day while i lay hooked up to monitors in the hospital -- i shouldn't have picked sydney up so much at little gym. i remember a strange pulling feeling when i lifted her out of the tub. was that the feeling of my placenta starting to abrupt? maybe she shouldn't have sat on my lap for so long during stories that night. i also remember thinking to myself multiple times that day - what a fun day i was having with my girl. glad you got to have some wonderful memories of your last day as a family of 4. hope you and callan are well!
