T Minus.... And Counting.

At least things haven't been dull around our house while I have waited for my induction date. I almost titled this post: "Welcome to the Hotel Cali-Scheurer". In the past week and a half we have had several over-night guests. Our friends from Pharmacy School (Garrett and Katie) stayed with us twice. My Mom was here for a few days. And Nick's brother Nate stayed the night too, at one point.

It made for a lot of laundry- in the form of sheets and towels. And I had sincerely hoped that doing all of that laundry might put me in to labor... But no such luck. It looks like the induction is going to be my only "out".

We went to IKEA for a few hours with Garrett and Katie.

I love this picture. Reagan and Lily (G&K's daughter) hugging. Regan is nearly a year younger than Lily, but they are the same height :)

I subjected Reagan to a "Rite of Passage" a lot of girls have to go through. Sponge Rollers. Do any other girls out there have the awful memories of having to sleep with these suckers in your hair?

I didn't make Reagan sleep with them in, I just made her wear them in the morning, so that I could do her hair for pictures at Nick's Mom's school again. Her hair looked really cute. I am just hoping the picture turned out well too.

I recruited my little brother, Brian's, help to take Reagan to Wheeler Farm.

It wasn't as cool as I remember it being when I was little (isn't that ALWAYS the way it goes?!).

Reagan liked the pony ride.

We saw some other animals and ate snow cones.

AND THEN.... an event I have been waiting and entire year for. Fruit Heights Founder's Day. Last year it was AWESOME.

This year it was good. But for some reason it just wasn't the same? Noticeably absent was the Duck Pond (that had amazing prizes for kids last year). And I was waddling around 9 months pregnant in the heat. That'll suck the fun out of anything.

I think Reagan had a good time. She rode the train twice. We ate Cotton Candy and Pace Popsicle bars and had a picnic dinner.

Both my Brother and Sister and their families came with us. Heather won some "self-help" books at the raffle (yes, a lot of things about the event were better last year. Self-help books, really?!).

At least it was fun for one of us.

Grant wolfed down one (maybe two?) slices of watermelon. And OBVIOUSLY enjoyed every bite.

We finished up the weekend by heading to Springville on Sunday, to have dinner with my Mom's side of the family (my parents weren't there, obviously. But everyone else was). Several people asked me if it were wise to venture an hour and half from home when I am so close to delivering a baby? Maybe it wasn't. But I was secretly hoping that something about the trip would put me in to labor! The long car ride, the copious amounts of pineapple that I consumed at dinner.... Nada.

Granted, when I got home and went to bed my contractions were the worst they have been yet. But they didn't establish any sort of pattern. So, here I sit- AT HOME and newborn-less. All of that will change. Tomorrow...
