Big Sister Status

Well, Mama made it another week. I just left the doctor's office. I am 4cm dilated. Again they don't think I will make it another week( yea, ya said that last time doc). I am scheduled for another appointment on Tuesday. If Molly doesn't make her appearance by then, we will schedule for induction. They last thing my doctor said before leaving the exam room was, "If real contractions start, waste no time and RUN to the hospital. It won't take long to bring her into this world". Comforting!

Last week Lily and I were still quite busy. We went to the park with the "baby gang" (the cousins). We thought we would be there only and hour or so. NOT! We got there at 11:30 and didn't leave till 3:30. Some how Lily still had energy after we left. Lily also aquirred a new accesory at her Gran's house. A Rollercoaster! I thought she may be scared of it, not the case. On top of her toy, she is quite obsessed with Pop's lawnmower. Just the other day I was letting her sit on it while she was waiting for Daddy to come outside to take her for a cruise. They little smarty britches grabbed straight for the key and flipped the switch to turn-on the mower. Yes, the motor turned over in effort to start. Luckily it takes more than just a flip of the switch. That's all I need is my 1yr taking off in the back yard on the mower while I'm 9mos pregnant! I thought Molly fell out when I jumped to the sound of the motor!

Thanksgiving and more

I haven't posted anything is a while as we have been pretty busy these days. Ryan, Lily and I are settled into our (new to us) apartment. We celebrated Thanksgiving and I must say I am very excited about next years holidays already. Its been a while since there have been so many little ones in our families. Next year they will all be MOBILE!!!!

Happy Thanksgiving

Lily is growing like a weed. She is into everything and has more energy than I know what to do with. I do my best to take her outside for walks or to the park as much as possible. She is not one that likes to be indoors or to sit still. She is officially obsessed with "Toy Story"...she has all 3 movies and they come in handy when nothing else can contain her attention. Lily is expecting yet more teeth. This week she has done her very best to shove as many fingers as possible in her mouth at one time. I glanced over at her this morning and droll was rolling now her fists as she contently gnawed on her fingers. We were able to enjoy our first real "cold snap" of this winter/holiday season.


Last week I took Lily to see Santa with Aunt Katie and Billy. She IS NOT A FAN of Santa, just as I suspected. But we made a valid effort to try.


Christmas is fast approaching and apparently so is the arrival of Lily's little sister, Molly. I am now 37wks pregnant. I had my weekly doctor visit yesterday; I am 3cm dilated. He told me to schedule another appointment in a week but doesn't seem to think I will need it. So after sharing the news with the family it dawned on me that I really have nothing prepared for Molly's arrival ;). I pulled some clothes out of boxes but that was it. So now Lily's bag and the dog's bag is packed. I still have mine to put together. Nothing like a little procrastination ;)
