Raquelle's first taste of snow!

We just got back from Montana where we had a wonderful time visiting with family. It took us 12 hours to drive over and 13 hours to drive home. Before Raquelle, we use to be able to make the trip in 10! I suppose it doesn't help that I'm pregnant and need to stop at almost every rest stop plus a couple gas stations along the way. For those traveling with young children, I found out how to keep them happy. The answer is Ritz crackers! You're poopy? Here, have a cracker! You're teething? Here, have a cracker! You're hungry? have a cracker! You're uncomfortable and stiff? Have a cracker! It worked to add an extra hour in between stops for us to just keep giving Raquelle Crackers. We won't mention how many we went through on the drive home!

It snowed while we were there, so I thought I'd share some pictures.

Raquelle sledding!

"Pull faster daddy!"

"AAAHHH! No! Don't sniff me!"

"BRRRR! Now I'm cold!" Time to go in and warm up!

This last weekend

Hey guys. Just got home. Here's what happened over the last couple days... My mom came to help clean. I couldn't just sit and watch so I did some cleaning and organizing yesterday too. I was having regular ctx all day, but they weren't really painful. Went to bed about 11 pm (Saturday night) and they were annoying enough to keep me from sleeping well, but not enough to go in. Raquelle woke up just before 1 AM and since Thad was taking care of her I got up to use the bathroom. When I got back in bed, I had a really strong painful ctx. Thad came back in while I was breathing through it and asked if we were going to the hospital. I told him yes I think so, but lets wait for some more and see how far apart they are. They were 7 min apart so we got up and got dressed, ate a snack, etc. They got to 5 min apart, and then I had a couple back to back ones so we left for the hospital just after 2. When I checked into the hospital, I was at 2 cm (I was 1 cm at my mid week...
