Brute is a Valdez, we aren't "on time" people....

Well if you noticed the ticker on top of the blog has ended its countdown...we are 40 weeks today and Baby Brute still hasn't made her debut. We had a false alarm last night when I had contractions for 3 hours that were 10 minutes apart. Then I had a huge painful contraction and then nothing.....Boo! Don't worry she has been moving around all day so she is in good shape. It was like she was walking out the door, was in the driveway, and then realized she forgot her purse inside. When she walked inside her favorite trashy reality show was on and she decided she didn't want to leave the house anyways. So Greg and I ate a whole pan of cinnabons in defeat last night and made plans to go to the airshow today. Ava loved seeing the planes and trucks on the ground but the jet noise really scared her. She hid in Daddy's shoulder through most of the show. It was a fun day followed by an evening of watching college football. Keep checking back with the blog- we'll keep you updated on Baby Brute's debut plans.
Ava was so excited to see a pink "beep beep"- truck
I would be a cement truck driver if this was my ride
The Delta breast cancer 747. Ava wasn't as impressed with this one.
The put a jet engine on this truck and it raced a plane. The truck actually won!
She was all about Daddy today
She will be much more adventurous and try new things when Daddy holds her hand
watching the planes
Ava would watch until the jet came right by us and then she would hide in Daddy's shoulder
My photography timing skills trump Greg's....
his was a bit too early...
Inside a helicopter
GIANT helicopter
Pilot Valdez
She likes taking the controls
The helicopter was her favorite part of the day
Ava has started to get much better at potty training but she has her quirks. She now never wants to feel left out so she brings the potty into the living room, she tries to get naked, and her baby doll always has to be on the potty next to her. Hey, I'll take weird potty habits over no potty habits!
Ava telling me she wants to talk to her little sister
She is singing to her here
Giving her a kiss
Ava is excited because Baby Brute moved when she was holding my belly.
Listening for her baby sister.
So blessed.
