Our last night...

...as a family of 3. I went to the doctor today and he decided to induce tomorrow morning. We have to be at the hospital at 7:30am. I'm really hoping this labor goes a lot quicker than Aliyah's did. I was in labor with her for 12 hours. More importantly, I'm hoping everything goes smoothly and the baby comes out healthy.

We decided to spend the evening doing something fun since it was our last night as a family of 3. We let Aliyah decide what she wanted us to do. She wanted to go play golf with Mommy and Daddy so we headed down there. The mini-golf is across the street from the public pool and when we got down there, Aliyah decided she wanted to swim instead. Imagine that! The girl is part fish, I tell ya! So we headed home to get her swimsuit and towel. We had orginally planned on her just playing in the kiddie pool but eventually she wanted to get in the big pool so Daddy got in with her. She had a blast and I'm really glad we had the chance to do something she wanted to do one last time.

I took tons of pictures tonight. I even managed to get my sister to take some of just the 3 of us. They aren't technically great pictures but that's not what I was after tonight. These pictures are straight from the camera with very little proofing (only resized). I just wanted to capture our last night before our new little one joins us. I can't believe she will be here tomorrow and Aliyah will no longer be an only child. Sorry for the picture overload ;)







Here's proof that I was at the pool tonight ;) That shadow is me!









Look at that belly!!
