We had a great weekend. Friday night we hung low and just did a little shopping at Target, it's tough shopping with an almost 2 year old, lets just say "its VERY exhausting". We wanted to get eat dinner somewhere but decided to grab Hy-Vee Chinese food and go home!
We let Cooper pick out a "baby" I sure wish I could have found a boy baby doll but this one had to do. We want to try and get him prepared for when baby brother comes. His big thing now is when we are getting ready for bed we like to play the IPad and baby always seems to be moving around then so I'll take Cooper's hand and let him feel baby. I'll just hold his hand on top of my belly, it's so sweet.
I think he's trying to eat babies arm!
Saturday, Tom and I had massages! Ahh, to type about it, it felt SO good. I was a bit nervous however, because last time I was pregnant and got a massage, the next day my water broke and Cooper came!! Although I was 36 1/2 weeks then, I am only 34 weeks now, but still, I was a bit nervous. Mom watched Cooper for us while we had our massages. We ate lunch at Crust then headed to Potosa Spa for some relaxation. The bed was not as comfortable as my last pre-natal massage, that was at a different place, but I did get to lay on my belly. They had to 2 big pillows to one was on my chest and the other under my pelvis. It worked but not a comfortable. I think next time, maybe in 2 weeks to see if we can get this little guy out, I'll go to Body and Soul where there table had a big soft belly area where your belly hang out, but we'll see!! After the massages we decided to get some groceries, fun huh??? Well it was actually because we didn't have an almost 2 year old who wants to walk/push the cart and put everything in the cart! Needless to say Hy-Vee was a zoo and we were glad to be out of there. We went to pick Cooper up who helped mom cook all day. I bet he was in heaven. Mom was getting ready for her annual Super Bowl Party. Cooper helped her make Clam Chowder and chicken liver's wrapped in bacon.
Enjoying lunch (in peace and quiet)
Saturday night I decided that was the night to start putting Cooper in his big boy bed, I'm ready to get the nursery settled for baby brother, if only I can figure out a name, so Cooper and I laid in bed and about 5 minutes later he was sleeping, so was I. He just snuggled right in and slept awesome all night long.
He woke up around 7:30 and was ready for breakfast and Elmo. This picture below, in a different pair of jammies because he was all wet once I changed his diaper, laying on the floor watching Elmo, too cute.
That morning, we took Cooper to the National River Museum. Working at McGraw-Hill, I get free passes so we thought what else is there to do before the big game??? Cooper had a blast, until he started to get tired, but it's nice we didn't have to pay so we could leave when we wanted.
Cooper and Tom walking in.
Reading some info on the Great Mississippi River.
He loved looking at the big "phish"
He loved sitting by each turtle and taking a picture!
And his favorite party - waterworks playtime! Here you get actually play in the water. Cooper did not refuse the "jacket" at all, it was like he knew exactly what to do, like he's been there before. He grabbed a stool after we showed him one and off he went. He grabbed his stool every time he wanted to move, it was so cute!
Hi mommy!
Snack time. We had to bribe him with food to get him out of the waterworks area. We snacked on Nacho's and a hot pretzel with cheese and of course a soda pop, momma needed this.
Then off to the turtle exhibit, this was at the other building so getting Cooper to put his hat and coat on was tough but we got him there.
Crawling in a turtle shell!
And of course, riding on a turtle too.
Driving a barge with daddy.
After the river museum we headed home for bit, Cooper took a nap then we headed up to Tom's parents for awhile and then to mom's to watch the Super Bowl. Mom made her famous Clam Chowder and of course went overboard with other food, but all was so good.
Dancing during the half time show! These kids sure have some moves.
Mom's got the moves too!
