OB Appt.

I've been having 30 second contractions about 6-15 minutes apart since 2:30am. I finally got about 2 hours of sleep right before I had to go to my baby appointment. I am 90% effaced and a "very loose" 2cm dilated now according to the doc. YAY! She said she'd be shocked if I made it another week. Sounds good to me :) I am going to take a pre-nap before my real nap with the boys. I am freakin' tired and my contractions seem to be giving me a little break so I'm going to take advantage and get some rest.

Yay!!!I was induced with both pregnancies and only 50% effaced,so that's great news!!Hopefully that means your labor won't be very long since your effaced already!Thanks for the updates :)Drink lots of fluids so that when you do go into labor you won't be feeling dehydrated.I think
i had about 10 grape popsicles with Ember's labor.I was sooo thirsty & they wouldn't let me drink anything...only ice chips & popsicles!

YAY! Thanks, Brit... that gives me hope. I've been chugging water for 2 days. I just can't get enough. I think that's also why I suddenly gained another 4lbs. I hadn't gained any weight for weeks. I'm thinking I might be swelling a bit. I loooove water right now :) I'm totally smuggling in healthy snack since they also only provide you with those 3 measly meals a day :P

I shall spend all of my time pacing and smoking cigars in hopes that this sort of old-fashioned waiting room behavior helps things along.

Seriously though, I'll keep on thinking about you and checking back for the exciting news!

aww! I hope the dr is right! You hang in there. You know what brings on labor...I won't say it..but you know what I mean! Oh, this is what helped for me I held a baby! It's the god honest truth and I think it works. I held my neighbors baby and went into labor later that night. My friend Lindsay held Haley and went into labor the next day. Do you know any babies you can hold? haha

Still Happy!! HOORAY!!

We're still going strong with our happiness levels out here. Yesterday was a little bit rough because Tristan was especially whiney, but today was amazing :) We got our grocery shopping done and even managed to have fun doing that! Noah and I were singing Christmas songs already while Tris and Bren laughed at us. Tristan sometimes piped in with a "all the way" when we were singing Jingle Bells. Noah was cracking up when I sang him the Batman version :D After all that excitement the 2 wee ones went down for their naps and Noah and I gave Bosley a bath with his new tea extract shampoo. He looks and smells so wonderful now :) He was in such a good mood after that too! Noah made a concoction of plum leaves, olives, dirt, and paper which he called "olive a cado". While he was doing his own grocery shopping I was taking some macro shots with my new focus point knowledge. I'm very happy. I thought I loved my camera before! Anyway... We also built a littl...

Almost Doesn't Count

We almost ended up with a puppy today. An adorable baby Jack Russell Terrier mix wandered into our yard. He was very sweet, laid back, flea-ridden, dirty, cute, a little broken, good temperament, un-fixed, and very very good with Noah and Emma. I asked the neighbors about him and they showed me where the owner lived. She took him inside and told me how he's driving her crazy because he chews through collars and gets out of the yard (which is because he's a puppy and not an outside breed). She mentioned possibly getting rid of him. Lo and behold he wandered back into our yard not too long after that... interesting. I wanted to adopt him because he was unwanted, but shouldn't have been. He was a very sweet dog. I would have called him Jackie I think :) This brings me to a rant. I know I've posted about the way people around here treat their pets. This is a perfect example. This lady didn't want the puppy anymore so she simply let it go. No collar, no tags...

Project 365: Jan 16 - 20

Image
Tuesday, January 16th - more snow and a cotton candy sunset. It wasn't much, but the ice beneath and timing of the snow itself  meant a snow day for the kids! Now that they're teenagers, that precious time is spent catching up on sleep, which makes working from home pretty easy for me. Wednesday, January 17th - the morning light changes throughout the year as the earth moves around the sun. In winter, it peeks in through my living room window and spotlights the entertainment center in warm light.  Thursday, January 18th - Braved the inch of ice on the ground to attend a legislative reception in Annapolis with my coworkers/friends. We spent the day networking, laughing, and planning to save our little section of the Chesapeake Bay watershed here in Southern Maryland. Friday, January 19th - Jug Bay snow day!!! The weather report called for snow to begin falling as school was supposed to just be getting started, so they announced cl...
