guess what we're doing!
I am in the labor and delivery room at Lake Forest Hospital. Pretty soon, we will meet baby baby! According to the ultrasound today, she is about 5.9 lbs. Her heartbeat sounds strong! I am hooked up to the NST monitor that watches her heart and my contractions. My mom will be here later once things start picking up. Wish us luck and pray for a healthy beautiful baby!!!

911 please hold, i'm napping
Ok, so I have been slacking a little. Seriously, I am just worn out. I take 2 naps and go to bed early and still...it feels like I just can't get enough rest. I try to sleep at work, but the phones keep me up. Sometimes I wish 911 had voicemail. If you have an emergency, please leave a message and someone will call you back to address your issue. Yea, right!
Right now I am going to the doctor twice a week. According to my ultrasound that was supposed to confirm my due date, the doctor saw that baby baby is a little smaller than she should be and my amniotic fluids looked low. Besides that she seems healthy, just smaller. It's still scary to hear things like that. My doctor scared me even more when he said he wanted to induce that Monday (March 16th). I ended up going for a Level 2 Ultrasound and an NST that same day. That doctor also said that the baby was small. She suggested I be induced within the next 2 weeks. So that's where we are at. Playing it appointment by appointment. One thing that is for sure is that my doctor said we definitely won't go past the 9th of April.
My kids, Bobby is still auditioning for the play at his school and they are studying the Pioneers. He's really interested in history and surprises me with the facts he learns. Mama has TWO teeth now and it looks like 2 more are coming in. Angie is Angie and still a super handful. I found out that she is scared of birds and refused to go outside and play with Bobby today. We are going to the park later so they can leave some of that energy there.
Oh! I forgot. My cousins surprised me the other night. We get together every once in a while to eat dinner and just have an evening of good food and laughs. We planned for March 20th at the Olive Garden in Gurnee. My BFF called and said, pick me up, I'm going. I didn't think anything of it. We got there first because of course...the rest of the "P's" are always in super slack mode. When I saw my aunts come in, I still didn't think anything of it. I just figured Lydia had extended the invite. I was actually being a crab ass because I was tired and starving. They sat us down after a long wait. We ordered and then Lydia said she had an announcement. I was being a smart ass and started joking saying, "Ok, who's pregnant...come on, give it up...." Then Lydia said it was for me. They had collected money and gave it to me for the double stroller I will need. I was completely caught off guard. I started crying because acts of kindness like that hardly ever happen to me. I am very thankful that they planned that for me and I still get emotional thinking about it. I love my family and I wanted to take this time to thank you guys one more time. Thank you P's and T's!!!!

34 weeks and stuff
Today makes 34 weeks! I have a month and a half left. They are gonna fly by. Baby baby is constantly reminding me that it's almost time because she's running out of room. I get jabbed in the ribs all throughout the day. Sometimes I sit and watch her roll a foot (I'm assuming it's a foot) across my belly. It's the weirdest thing but at the same time it makes me emotional. I can't wait to hold her.
I will have another ultrasound to confirm my due date on March 16th. I just hope the doctor doesn't push back my date beyond the 16th of April. If that happens I will have to do Castor oil, lots of walking, and more of Robert's favorite past time (wink wink). I'm ready to go!
Mama got her first tooth and she has another one peeking through. She still won't let anyone see them so don't get offended if you ask her and she turns away. She's shy like her mother.
Bobby has ISAT's at school this week and he says he hasn't had any trouble with them. The teacher sent home a letter saying there really isn't a way to help them study because it is pretty much a review of everything they have learned. He was a little nervous, but I'm sure he will do fine. Next up is auditioning for a play at his school. We are gonna get to it this weekend and make him the best turtle anyone has ever seen.
Robert and I are in the process of looking for a car that will fit all the kids safely. Two car seats takes up a lot of room. Oh! NO MINI VAN's...so please don't suggest that. I am not ready for a mini van.
