The last few weeks

We can't believe we have only had Cedar for one month. It feels so normal and natural to have her around. We love being parents. We haven't done much this month, mostly just hanging out at the apartment, trying not to distract John too much from doing his homework. Cedar goes to work with Tracie 2 days a week ( working in the back office, not seeing patients :) And goes to mutual with us each week. Tracie took her cross country skiing a few times last week- and she loved it. We just love having her around!

Our attempt at "cute" pictures...

...good thing she is cute.

We loved having Tracie's mom here

Pioneer Trek bonnet that Grandma had to make here since she couldn't get on a flight home- anything is cute on Cedar!

Baby Time!

In the last month of being pregnant, you usually see the Dr once a week. At our last scheduled appointment on Monday they informed us that we needed to be induced. They asked us to call the hospital and schedule a time between Tuesday and Thursday to go in. Somehow Tuesday morning at 6:30 was the only time they could get us in, in other words... It's Baby Time!

Here are some pictures of a very pregnant Tracie:
