he -that's great news!Hopefully by then you will have dilated/effaced even more. :) Two more weeks to go!! You can do it!!! Rachel is driving me crazy today! She didn't get up till 10 -well, I think she was awake earlier than that but playing with her toys. I didn't get up till then either. Around 8 Levi was hungry so I fed him and bed and kind of dozed in and out till 10 - listening to the thunder and rain. It was going all night! It started when we got to the concert and made a great show for our drive home across the lake. It was pretty cool. The concert was great -but he didn't start till 8:45 and the tickets said 8. I was kind of annoyed by that. We didn't stay for the "encore" because it was already 11 and we didn't want to deal with the traffic getting out of Key Arena. We still didn't get home till midnight. Anyways -I have to go get dressed and go to the grocery store.

Happy 4th of July!! We are having Julie and her hubby and boys over for a BBQ, then we will do fireworks later. The boys aren't the best. They irritate me to no end. They don't share and they will just push her if she has something they want. Anyway, I hope you have a good 4th and the kids aren't scared. I have a lot more pressure and have been spending a lot of time on my exercise ball. I am hoping for some more progression by next thursday. Dr. Edstrom told me that I am measuring exactly the same as I did with Maddy every week. He thinks that I am right on track to having another 6 and half to 7 pound baby. I am thinking more like 7 pounds because Nathan will be in there for 5 days longer than Maddy was. I am starting to get really anxious and excited. As of tomoorrow I only have 12 days to go. Unless they don't have room for me on the 17th. I won't find out until the 14th for sure. Well, I have to help Jimmy get the rest of everything ready so I had better go. Talk to you later. :o}

Hey, I'm having contractions. Going to get in the shower and see what happens in the next couple of hours before I would call Dr. Edstrom. I'll let you know.

I had a rough and c___ppy night. After I posted I drank a ton of water and got in a hot shower. By the time I got out I was feeling better. I got back in to bed and about 20 minutes later it started all over, but nothing to call the doctor over. The contractions were anywhere from 2 minutes to 8 minutes apart, and nothing that I couldn't handle. This pretty much went on all night off and on. Needless to say, I didn't sleep much, and because of all the water I drank, I had to get up to pee about 20 times. I have the AC in the house set on 68* and I am still sweating like crazy. I am so flippin' miserable. Anyway, the fireworks were fun, and Maddy liked it too. She just didn't like the big booms and would tell us she was scared when she heard one. She kept telling Jimmy to light a pink one. We told her all the red ones were pink and she was happy with that. How did your kids do? Hope you had a nice evening.

What a weekend! I feel like I've been run over!! Rachel seemed a little better by the end of the night. She wanted to eat ice cream for dinner - thanks to Tim. :) She had a few bites of oatmeal though - and has been doing ok on water. I've never seen her like this - she's been terrible! She threw up on my neighbors deck yesterday at their BBQ - right before we were going to eat so I had to come home and take care of her. Levi picked today to be a crank too - all he wanted to do was eat and be held. I'm wiped out myself! Well...any changes???? contractions are good! It means things are working down there! Watch, you'll go into labor on the 16th. :) Hang in there -the misery is about to end and a whole new sleepless one is coming - but you at least get a cute baby to hold during that part. :) We didn't light off too many fireworks mainly because my dad didn't want the neighborhood to burn down. They bought a home in Maple Valley in a new development - million dollar homes - with lots of trees around. They prefer green over brown charred trees. sigh...but my nephew lit off a few. Rachel was cool with it until the ones that sort of jump out at you went off. She didn't like that too much. Levi - well, he just slept. :) So...don't be having your baby this thursday-Sunday. We'll be out in the sticks - our annual 4-wheel trip. We'll go out to the family cabin over Chinook Pa__s, almost Yakima, and be camped out for a while. My gma is taking the motor home up and parking it at our cabin so I decided to go. She'll have a car too. There is no bathroom - just an outhouse - and cold water. :) Fun stuff. I'm brave - but I love going out there. I don't get to jeep but I can hang out in the evening when Tim gets back. It's a big jeep jamboree - hundreds of jeepers. It's pretty fun, especially for the kids. Ok - going to feed levi and go to bed. Keep me posted!

Well, I really think I will make it to my induction. My contractions have stopped completely. I just have this feeling that I won't go before then, but then again, you never know. I wish I could go do something fun. We pretty much finished the nursery on saturday. All Jimmy has left to do is the closet organizer, buy and put up the blinds and paint the ceiling, none of which has to be done right away. As long as those things are done by the end of August I am fine with it. Anyway, I hope Rachel feels better soon, and have a great little vacation. Your leaving thursday and will be gone until sunday, so I will keep the kid in until you get back. Talk to you tomorrow.

I'd get it all done before he gets here cuz once he's here, trust me, you have no time!!! I can barely keep my house clean between the two kids demanding my time. :) Rachel seems SO much better today. I might attempt a walk here in a little bit. Take them out in the double stroller. :) I need to lose weight and it's slowing down big time. I'm down to 160.00, can't seem to get under. BUT, I did lose 30 pounds so that's a start. Ok...got to run and eat before one of the kids starts to scream at me.

Yeah, it would be nice to just get it done. However, I have been running Jimmy ragged and with his crazy work schedule right now I just can't ask him to do it now. Although, I know he would do it if I asked. He will get it done. The closet will only take about an hour and a half, the ceiling about the same and as soon as I pick up the blinds, they only take about 10 minutes to put up. I am glad Rachel is feeling better, I hate it when Maddy is sick. It just makes you feel so bad for them, and they can't really tell you exactly how they feel. A walk sounds good to me. I was so tired yesterday that I didn't get much done at all, and I didn't spend any time at all on my exercise ball. Jimmy will be home in about thirty minutes, so maybe after he changes his clothes we can go for a bit. Talk to you later.

well we went for a walk - about 2 miles - and it was so hard! Pushing two kids is lots of work!!! Oh well, it was good for me and soon enough it will be easier. :) Baked some cookies too! MMMM!!!! Rachel barffed again all over the floor - I think she stuck her hand down her throat again - I bathed her and then she was in my arms sticking her hand down there and started gagging. i yanked it out before it was too late. You'd think I had a bulemic child!! :) Ok - got to run again and feed Levi before Rachel gets up...

2 miles would be good for me about now. Jimmy is in the pool with Maddy right now. He took her on his run with him when he got home, and later we are all going for a walk. That is great that you have lost 30 pounds already, keep it up! I can't wait to start getting rid of all this extra weight. I don't know how obese people can survive!?!? My feet just kill by the end of the day, and my sine starts to feel like it is going to fall out. Gotta go, I am needed to turn the water to the pool off. Hopefully Rachel is on the mend.

hey - I get parent of the day award if not YEAR. Rachel has had the runs for 4 days now and it just gets worse. I changed her at 4am - I checked on her after I fed Levi and she must have been sleeping in it for a while. Yuck. Then, this morning she started screaming frantically so I went in there at 8 and she was SOAKED through both sides of her pj's, all over the bed too. So disgusting! I had to use wipes to undo her diaper because her whole body was soaked in po,.o;lp. It was the nastiest stuff ever. We had to get a nice shower in after that episode. Her whole body from waist down was covered in poop. Ate least she's eating some stuff and eating ice chips. I'm a little scared to go to the cabin with her having the runs like this. I won't have a shower to rinse her in - at least not AT the cabin. ugh....So I got to 159!!! yahoo!!!! only 30-35 more to go! If I can get to 130 I will be happy for now. My clothes will at least fit then. :) keep walking walking walking!! Only a week and 2 days left! :) I can't wait for you to have your little guy either -it will be cool to have a little buddy for Levi. :) ok, got to feed him and then run a few errands, hopefully poopy free!!
