Today we had the boys over (Tyler, Nathan and Drew) along with their Mommies (Kara and Erin) for a playdate and crafts. It had snowed that morning so they battled the weather to meet up, but I'm so glad they made it because we had a great time! No playdate is complete without pulling out the paint set and pinterest. We decided to paint hand print shamrocks for St. Patrick's Day. Here is Nathan posing as Lady Gaga with his blue lips!
So we've decided a lot of these hand print crafts will work out a lot better when their little hands grow, right now everything ends up pretty stubby. But here is Johanna's hand print shamrock and leprechaun. Luck of the Irish to ya!
Last weekend my friend hosted a Stella and Dot trunk show party. I've never seen their collection so I was pleasantly surprised to find they had children's jewelry. I just had to get this little bracelet for Johanna...
...because it matches my wedding jewelry perfectly! Now we have matching bracelets :)
In JJ news today I had my weekly appointment and everything is good...blood pressure normal! This afternoon I had a non-stress test. Even though I didn't have to have the bio-physical ultrasound they wanted to follow up with this since my placenta had shown a little maturation. (Apparently this is a normal thing while nearing the end of your pregnancy, but combined with high bp they wanted to watch it.) I had to sit in a comfy chair with some monitors strapped to my tummy to measure JJ's movement and heart rate. Every time he moved I had to push a little button. After 20 minutes or so they came to check on me and said everything looked great. Now I have to do this every week until JJ decides to make his appearance. What a pain! But I won't complain, I get a half hour to take a little nap and listen to baby bean's heartbeat :)
Love the matching bracelets! So cute!
ReplyDeleteThe matching bracelets are amazing!!! The way you are both holding out your hands is just too cute. The St. Patty pics look great in a frame, I think you should do a theme pic for every holiday ! Yeah for low BP , kids should only cause high Bp when they are older. Ha Ha
ReplyDeleteNathan will not stop eating the paint!! Grr! I'm glad we braved the snow too! It was fun getting together :) I can't believe how perfectly those bracelets match! You girls will look so cute together!
ReplyDeleteHow cool!! What an amazing thing to have found a matching bracelet for little J!! I love it :) Nathan is hilarious in that picture. I like the St. Patty's Day artwork- great idea to frame it.
ReplyDeleteLove you guys!!
