Perfection

Life is sweet

Baby?

Today's appointment went well.  She told me I was a 3 all the way through and stretched me to a 4.  So if I don't have her tonight, I get to go in to be induced at 6 am tomorrow morning.  Flippin' hallelujah!

Update

Just letting everyone know that yes, this is day 5 of being overdue and I still have not had the little snickerdoodle.  Back when I was trying to figure out my due date, I was off by 2 weeks - according to my ultrasound.  The u/s gave me the 14th as the probably due date because of baby's size.  So, I'm really not suprised that I haven't had her yet - frustrated yes, but not that surprised.  I see the dr on Tuesday to schedule my induction, so hopefully in around 4 days if I haven't gone naturally I'll have her.  So! There ya have it! As soon as something happens we'll let ya know! :) Thanks for all the well wishes and concerns - we feel very loved! :)

Yuck

Gloomy day+ no baby yet+crampy+hips ache like crazy+missed church for 2 weeks so feeling a little lonely+did I say no baby yet?+laundry coming out of the wazoo+house is a dump and I can barely move+I'm sure I could think of a few more things...don't I sound pathetic? :)

First day of school pictures!

Kindergarten

I've got the cutest pictures of both Claire and Em's first days of school, but darn it Dave hasn't taken them off the camera yet - I'll have to have him do it tonight.  Sending Claire was so difficult yesterday! I think of her still as my baby, and not a big 5 year-old! I think part of it is Emma was almost 6 when she started, and Claire's barely 5.  I sat in her class for about 10 minutes after walking her in.  The class is ginormous! When I registered her last April, they barely had enough for a morning class (besides the all day one).  Her teacher told me yesterday that 33 showed up just in the afternoon class! Where did all these kids come from? Evergreen Forest now has to hire a new kindergarten teacher.  This happened last year with Em's class too.  Hopefully Claire can stay with this teacher and in the afternoon class.  She recognized one little girl from her new primary class, so that's been a blessing -  other than this Ashley, Claire doesn't know anyone! But she seems happy and excited when I pick her up, so that makes me happy.  I guess sometimes I don't give my kids enough credit, or I'm just a schmuck! :) Poor Hallie doesn't know what to do with herself now that sisters are gone! Luckily this baby will (hopefully) come out next week so she'll have someone else besides mom to be at home with!

What a Day...

Do you post when you've had a bleh day? Oh well... It's been one of those.  Waiting for this baby to come out (I went to my dr's appointment today and when I got there they tell my she's at the hospital delivering a baby...pooh), waiting for my little Emmers to come home from school...Oh how I miss that little squirt! She has really been my third hand this summer - wiping Hallie when I couldn't, doing her chores, keeping the other two hooligans busy so I could lay down for a smidge.  Emma has really blossomed into this incredible little person.  She's always been amazing, but she really is the  kindest, sweetest, most helpful little person now.  I'm excited to see the person she's becoming, but seeing her grow up is a little hard.  Life huh? So now I get to pack the other two squirts in the car and pick her up in 1/2 an hour! The girls are excited, I'm excited!
