Mom C. came last Wednesday to rescue us from our crazy lives. We have LOVED having her here to do grocery shopping, entertain Andrew, make meals, clean the house, and anything else she's willing to do. Her birthday was Saturday and wasn't the most exciting or special, in fact she was quite the trooper on her her birthday. She took Andrew for a walk, went to a shower for me, mowed our lawn, and helped Mike rearrange our house (including the basement, rooms, closets, garrage, etc.) to prepare for babies. We took her to dinner to celebrate her birthday and finally at 10 p.m. we sat down to German Chocolate cake that she made herself! She was so sweet and kept saying she was happy to do everything. Here is a picture of her with her birthday breakfast we made her before we started our busy day.
Here's a picture of Andrew enjoing the mass chaos of the house being torn apart before it was put back together. He and grandma have become fast buddies since grandma arrived. In fact, grandma and Andrew left Monday morning to visit Amy (Mike's sister) in Michigan and it sounds like they've had a great time together. Camie and kiddos also came to join the party. They get home tomorrow and I'm excited to see my little guy again!
We are SO grateful that Mother Teresa is so willing to come and stay and help us. She has truly been a saint and we couldn't have asked for more! I was put on bedrest on Monday after going into labor (which was successfully stopped...twice). We're hoping to hold these babies off for another couple of weeks and that would be impossible without her. No more blogging tonight, back to my bed!

So glad you've made it this far! 34 weeks is awesome. I hope those babies will hold on for a few more weeks. That's great your mother-in-law is there with you.
What a great help to have Teresa come and be with you guys, but oh how not fun the circumstances are for her being there. Good luck with everything Liz! Tell those little ones to wait a little longer! :)
Teresa is a lifesaver. We love that she has come to rescue you. Happy Birthday to her, what a great mother-in-law. It sounds like she has moved mountains for you.
Oh my gosh, for all I know you've had the babies - it's been a few days since your post. Well - good luck. Love you

Hey, Liz and Mike. This is Ashlee Baldwin, now Meadows. Andrew is such a cutie and you have 2 on the way!?! Brennan is horrible about filling me in. By the way, you are a BEAUTIFUL pregnant woman! I found a link to blog randomly from someone elses. Anyway, we have a blog, too. http://www.themeadowland.blogspot.com/ It was great to get an update on your lives. Good luck with everything!
