The End is in Sight...

...But it still seems so far away. I'm really anxious to be done being a human incubator.

I had an appointment today, my 36-week check up. I went in hoping for the best but trying not to expect it. I left quite pleased with my progress. I was hoping to be dilated to 2cm but really only expecting 1cm. I am actually dilated to 3cm and 70% effaced. Yippee! Doc says I will not make it to my due date. Yay! She will induce me a week early but doesn't seem to think I'll even make it that long. I can only hope.

Baby appears to be healthy. I had an ultrasound today because I've been measuring small for the past couple of months. Today I measured two weeks behind schedule so Doc wanted to make sure everything was okay with Baby and that there was still plenty of amniotic fluid. Everything looks great, Baby is supposedly six pounds right now and she's implanted herself under my ribs in my lungs. I can still make it through the entire night without having to get up to pee, the tradeoff is, I can't breath.

After tomorrow, I will officially be ready for Baby. Her room will be all put together by tomorrow night and everything will be washed and ready to go. I'm also packing my hospital bag tomorrow. The kids are so excited, they can't wait. Brent and I are excited but nervous, too. It's been a long time since we've done this.

AMEN AMEN! I can't wait! Though I'm not even CLOSE to being ready. Maybe we'll have babies on the same day and they can be birthday boyfriend girlfriend. Oh and I will go early. That's just the way I roll.

I want to see pictures of her room!

I am really excited for you. I always thought it would be nice to have a caboose for a chance to do things better than I did with the first that were so close together.

GiveAway!!

Image
I'm doing this giveaway just for fun. I'm not trying to sell or promote anything. I'm on an apron kick lately. I've come across so many cute ideas and I decided to make some of them. A week or so ago my good friend Liz mentioned she'd won an apron in a giveaway somewhere else. Thats where my "inspiration" comes from. I'm just a big copycat, but at least I admit to it. Here is the giveaway item: Please keep in mind that I made this, it did not come from a store so if you become the owner there will be no tags. I consider it to be a one-size-fits-all due to the fact that the ties are extra long. Here are the details: *Contest begins at 7am (Mountain Standard time) Thursday, November 12. It will end Sunday, November 15 at 8pm (same timezone). Winner(s) will be posted at my convenience on Monday. *Anyone living in the continental U.S., Canada, including PEI, or Mexico can enter this giveaway. It doesn't matter if you and I are friend or foe. You don...

Parade

Brittany decided to join the marching band this year. She plays the marimba. The band participates in a lot of parades and marched in the River Heights parade last Saturday. I thought Maya would enjoy the parade so she and I went and watched Brittany. Since the pit section cannot march with their instruments, they hold the shields and march in front of the rest of the band. Brittany is the last on on the right, holding the "T".

New House

We are building a new house!  This project has been in the works for a long time and we chose to keep it a secret until "Dig Day" because of how frustrating the process has been.  We began this adventure in February 2013 when we found the "lot of our dreams".  This piece of land was perfect.  Perfect location (in Providence), perfect size (0.96 acre), perfect orientation (house will face west).   The development process was long and difficult.  Providence City is not easy to work with.  Their requirements are extensive and often times ridiculous and unnecessary.  We've jumped through all kinds of hoops to get to where we are. We are building with Mt. Sterling Custom Homes.  They have a great reputation for designing and building high quality homes.  I had found a house plan that I really liked, had done some tweaking myself, then took it in to Mt. Sterling's designer to have it smoothed out and fix some areas that weren't q...
