Baby brother and big brother!

I had my 35 week appointment today and everything is still on schedule. I'm having lots of the Braxton Hicks contractions so the Dr. said that should mean that I definitely won't go over the due date. But we're really wanting the "word" that says we're ahead of schedule. We'll find out next Wed. on my next appointment. We've been "nesting" all weekend while Drew was on vacation in Kilgore. We got the crib and the baby clothes and big toys cleaned and ready. But we also did a little surprise for Drew. We finally painted his room after a year or so of talking about it. We had to "take away" his official toy room so we thought he deserved a little something special for his room. His exact reaction was "oh-mygosh!"

Speaking of "nesting" we have a cool little story. When we lived at our old apartment we had a lot of hanging baskets on our balcony. Right before Drew was born we found a bird's nest in one of the baskets. We thought it was a cool little coincidence and random. But just a couple of weeks ago Andy happened to find another bird's nest on our gutter at the house! After 2 years, we see for the first time a bird's nest. It's kind of amazing how so much of nature seems to link. The only sad thing is the nest was not in a stable place. The nest fell once and we tried to fix it, but the next day it had fallen again and the eggs were "officially not recoverable." We just hope the mama bird is doing okay.
