It is hard to believe but in a little over seven weeks little Henry will be here. I am so excited to meet this little guy. All I know about him right now is that he loves to kick and squirm around, he doesn't like spicy food, he loves cinnamon and brown sugar pop tarts, and he really likes night time. He is much busier than Addison ever was, which I wonder if that is because he is a boy.
I still have entirely too much to do to get ready. But regardless if the closet is perfectly organized, or the basinet is washed out, Henry will still come. And that is all that really matters.
We can't wait to meet you, Henry Burns!

"Draw, Draw!"
So Addison has a new fetish, "draw draw." This basically translates to wanting to sit at the table with her crayons and color for about 1 minute and then procede to throw the crayons, eat the crayons, or just take the crayons in and out of the package. She is obsessed. I never really thought she understood what drawing and coloring really was, that is until this last Saturday.
Saturday morning Andy and I were trying to decide what to do. We didn't want to sit at home all day, but going to the mall or something like that felt really boring. So we decided to go to Milwaukee for the day. We had a nice lunch at Ebert and Gerberts, one of my favorite sub shops while I was in college (they are on college campuses throughout the country). Then we went to a really cool coffee shop. After that we decided to go to the Milwaukee Art Musuem. As we walked into the gallery and showed Addison the first painting she said, "Ooohhh, draw draw." She loved walking around and seeing all the paintings, it was adorable. She reached her peak of entertainment while we were viewing the Georgia O'Keefe exhibit (who wouldn't?!) She completely fell a part and cried louder than ever (well at least that is what it seemed like!). We dashed out of the musuem as fast as we could, while the security guards and other patrons gave us that glare that you can only get in an art musuem. As we walked toward our car Addison said, "Bye bye, draw draw."

Snow Day
Today it snowed all day, I think we got a little over 10 inches. It was fun to cuddle up in the house and just watch the snow fall all day. Andy stayed home from work, so he made his breakfast special, french toast. Addison is addicted to toast right now, it hard to get her to eat anything else. We have somehow convinced her that this is just toast, but we feel a little better that it has a just a bit more substance to it. We declared it "jammy day." So after bath time Addison put a clean pair of pajamas back on. Days like this are so fun. Trapped in the house with nothing really to do. Its amazing how messy a house can get in a matter of 8 hours. Oh well, it was well worth it! Let it snow!!!

Friend
Today I had to go to the doctor and then the hospital to be monitored. I have been having braxton hick contractions for the past 24 hours about 4 to 5 minutes a part. The doctor said to come in just to make sure that everything is okay. Thankfully, after 5 hours we were told that it is just "normal" pregnancy stuff.
My friend Lindsey was able to come over and watch Addison for me and then Uncle BJ came and took her home for the rest of the time. What would I do without friends and family? Not only did Lindsey come on her "day off," but she also completly cleaned my downstairs (which was a disaster, to say the least). Everyone should have a friend like Lindsey. You know the ones that drop anything their doing to come help you, the faithful, the giving. They don't want anything in return, they are simply your friend. True friends don't come around very often, and when they do it just makes the world seem so much better.
