Out and About

Yesterday was Marks off day. I knew from the beginning of the week that that would be his day off instead of Saturday, but hadn't mad any plans. We went to the park yesterday morning, and Kaia played and enjoyed the swings and climbing on everything - shes over the slid for some reason? - and she really enjoyed having her daddy there to play w/. These days, I'm not as much fun @ the park as I use to be, so having daddy there was a special treat for her. After returning home and miss Kaia taking a little nap, we decided to go to the Queens Zoo. We'd never been there before, but I've only heard good things about it. Its smaller, about the size of the Central Park Zoo, maybe a little bigger, but a perfect place to take a very animal lover toddler like Kaia. She loved it! And I couldn't believe it, she walked around the whole thing - minus the times Mark held her to see the animals!

note - these were taken w/ the phone, so not the best quality - forgot the camera

She was so cute walking around and did such a good job - no whining, or fits! I couldn't believe she didn't fall asleep on the way home - Mark and I were both tired! It was a great day to spend together as a family and enjoy just it being the 3 of us, it was for me anyway. 

Speaking of our lives changing, I'm starting to feel more and more like the time is drawing closer for the arrival of miss Olivia. I've been having - I believe they are braxton hicks - in the mornings for the last week or so. Which is not a pleasant way to wake up I might add! I'm officially less than 30 days from my due date - I don't see this lasting that long though. My fears are still the unknowns of how and when everything will happen. Will I make it pass the 8th of June - I'll be ok to use the birth center @ the hospital @ that point. Will Mark be home, or @ work? Will I have someone to come watch Kaia? Will we get to the hospital in time? Will I be able to do this again? All these things keep running through my mind and I know that thinking about them won't make things any easier. This is what I do though, I worry and worry until the time comes, of how bad its going to be. Mark tell me all the time that things are not going to be as bad as I think they will be. I hope hes right this time! : ) I'll be 36 weeks on monday - only 1 more week till I'm full term! We can do it!
