Saturday = Fun, Monday = Losing My Mind

We purchased tickets a little over a month ago to see the Cleveland Orchestra play music from Disney movies at the Blossom Music Center (and project scenes from the movies on big screens). Kids were free if you purchased lawn seats and there was a BIG fireworks show planned for afterwards. We thought it sounded like something Ben and Nattie would love (Ben, especially, because he's seen every Disney movie known to man!). Anyway, it hadn't rained in weeks until, you guessed it, Saturday. It was a terrential downpour, but that didn't stop us. We put on our raincoats, packed our umbrellas, and headed to Blossom. We sat in the rain in our lawn chairs for 45 minutes or so before the show started and then a nice man offered us four FREE tickets to sit under the pavilion...thank, Heavens! :)

Sitting in the rain...we were soaked and very glad to eventually move to the covered pavilion!

Nattie loved the show...for the first 10 minutes...then she got restless and very tired. I missed the first half and Mike missed the second half wrangling a grouchy, one and half year old. Ben loved the whole thing though, so we were happy about that, and Nattie loved the fireworks at the end. All in all it was a fun, family adventure. :)

Despite a fun weekend, today I think I might be losing my mind. My due date is Thursday, just three days away. I had one of my regularly scheduled OB appointments today (non-stress test and ultrasound) and found out that Andy is acutally moving UP, as opposed to dropping further down into the birth canal. I thought I might go crazy when he mentioned that he wouldn't let me go past September 4th. If you are bored and need something to pray about, please consider praying that something changes quickly and my little guy decides he'd like to make an appearance sooner...rather than later! For those of you who've been pregnant, you know that the closer you get to your due date, the more antsy you get for it to be OVER! Of course, I want nothing more than for him to be healthy and strong, but selfishly, I am ready for him to be here! (I am sure this is just another lesson for Ali in being patient and waiting on God's timing...I'm a slow learner!)
