We were hunkered down at home all day; but the party came to us, in the form of two delivered meals-thanks Chris and Stephanie!  A naked baby photo-shoot (see below) thanks to Claudia and her artistic eye;  and a riveting podcast hosted by Josh and Greg documenting the first place winner of the 2010 Iditarod (Lance Mackey for those of you who haven’t already heard).  Jonas and I are continuing to get more proficient at nursing, I’m sure we’ll be pros in no time.  I tried pumping today so Josh got to feed Jonas for the first time, very special. A personal goal for tomorrow is to do some type of exercise–this laying around has been nice, but i’ve got to get moving again!

Good evening.  Today is March 10th, 2010-and Baby Rogers has yet to make his entrance into the world.  I’ve been off work for a week now, and it has been very enjoyable though I’ve had a few dull moments.

I’ve kept busy with…

walking-thats right, the leg is working and I’m able to walk nearly as well as I did before.

cleaning the house-specifically vacuuming with my AMAZING birthday present the Dyson Animal, thanks mom and dad.

painting art for the baby’s room-it’s a bit abstract, with stanzas from psalm 139 (see above).

watching tv-LOST, office, 30 rock, survivor, and I’ve even seen a few episodes of Star Trek TNG.

gardening-My poor yard looked terrible all winter, as I never made it out to prune the bushes due to my leg…so I’ve weeded            and planted some daffodils and pansies.

And of course, getting ready for the baby.–washing and prepping my new awesome cloth diapers, folding and re-folding tiny little clothes, hunting down odds and ends off craigslist, talking to my belly inviting him to come on out, and praying that he will be all that God has created him to be.

I have a no-stress-test appointment tomorrow at the OB, and I imagine we’ll make an appointment to have me induced in another week. Hopefully he’ll arrive before then!
