Pregnancy Update

30 1/2 weeks and counting. Doctor's Visit today confirmed that I am holding steady, aka, I HAVE NOT started dilating. Very good!! I can officially go off bedrest at 35 weeks, even though I will still be taking it easy. We want this guy to stay put as long as he can!!

Journal

With all my free time I have been typing up my old calendars and planners. Now all the information is consolidated into a binder and you can review what we have been up to the last few years. It has been great to actually realize why my life has been so stressful at times, I can't believe all I have scheduled at different times in our lives. WOW!! It also has made me appreciate all that we have done. Sometimes, Steve and I get down on ourselves for not doing more, it was enlightening to realize we really have done a lot. It also helps me not feel as bad about taking it slow right now. I don't have a choice but I still feel bad that we hardly do anything with our kids or with anyone for that matter. We just hang out at home with our little family. I know that it will change soon enough and we will be busy again.

WEEKS!!!

Look to the side of the blog. We are in the single digits for weeks I have left till I am due!!! Yes, yes, yes!! Every milestone is a step closer. Every time I logged onto my blog I would see so many weeks left, too many weeks left!! Well, now I'm that much closer.

Summer Haircut

Steve took Jakob into get a haircut. Steve likes it short!! I'm hoping the top will grow back for his 5 year old pictures!!! We'll see.

A Conversation

I got out Jakob's summer clothes yesterday. He was trying them on this morning and found a shirt that was too small. He ran back to his room to try on a different shirt. Coming back into the bathroom, with me peeking around the shower curtain we had this conversation.

Jakob: "Look, this shirt fits."

Me: "Good, it looks very nice."

Jakob: "Mom, its an exercise shirt."

Me: "Its a basketball shirt."

Jakob: "Yeah"

Me: "You look very nice Jakob."

Jakob: "You look, (pause), almost very clean Mom."

Summer Days!!

How I love Summer Days and we got a glimpse of what is to come. Today was warm and the kids played out in the backyard with Steve. They all have so much fun together. Later, they ventured out to the front and Steve and Jakob rode bikes for awhile. I even ventured out. I could only sit in the van, it reclined, but I hung out in there with Isabelle for awhile. It is so wonderful to be outside in the sunshine. Promise to have Steve take some pictures next time!!

Yesterday we had someone come to look at our house so we left and took a ride in our van. I reclined the seat, opened the window, and just told Steve to keep driving. It felt so good to be out of the house and to smell the outdoors. I can't wait to be off bedrest. I would love to go to the beach, go on a walk, anything to get outside. It will come, I won't have to lie down forever.
