Celebrating with Cake

Quick pregnancy update: at 35 weeks and 1 day the doctor says I am "good to go" anytime. Eeek--we are hoping much later than any sooner as we still have plenty to do around here. This precious baby doll is still measuring quite small, but we've been assured she is healthy and well. Her new favorite place to hang out her little toes are up in my ribs.
We began our celebration of the 4th, on the 3rd by having neighbors over for homemade chocolate cake, cookies, and games and then watching fireworks that night at the fairgrounds. We continued celebrating early the next morning at our ward party, and then again later that evening with a bar-b-que and fireworks with friends. Let Freedom Ring!

We're 35 wks and 1 day too---we were just talking last night about how we feel like we need to hurry up and get things ready because it could be a lot sooner than we thought. Good luck to you!

Rachael,

You look fantastic!! Keep enjoying the "quiet days" as much as you can. You'll have plenty to do soon...enjoy every moment of motherhood (it's such a cliche, but they do grow up fast)

Send us pics!!
love - Mike, Carrie, Nicholas, y Cheerio
