37 weeks, 3 days, and I am so ready!

Ok all. Finally getting around to the update. I had my dr. appt on wednesday and everything was great except no baby yet! hahaha! I am still 1 cm dilated and now
80% effaced. He has moved down some in the last week too. I've had some more uncomfortable contractions but nothing yet that I can't handle. I have decided to once again try going without the epideral. I know most of you think I'm crazy but to me it's worth it. The pain is part of the experience and this may be my last labor and delivery. As most of you know I didn't even have time to get one with Riley and with Stella I waited it out until 8 cm. By the time I even noticed a difference, Stella was already here. So really I haven't actually had one. We will see what happens. My next appointment is on Monday.

On to my little ballerina. Stella had her first ballet lesson and did so well. She was all smiles the whole time. I think we may have found something she really enjoys that is just hers. This is quite different for me since I was the "athletic sports girl". I thought the girly stuff was somewhat silly. I don't believe that now but I did then. Riley is our sports nut and very good at almost every sport he trys. I can't wait to find out what Drake is in to. I know, it'll be a fun experience finding out.

So here I am~Waiting...

Ok so I think I am possibly the worst, whiniest, depressing pregnant girl that ever lived. Normally I am the girl that makes fun of whiny, annoying girls. Never have liked "girls" much. They are too high maintenance, over exaggeraters, annoying, etc... Hormones and being a beached whale have turned me into one of those girls!!! AAAWWW!!!! Drake better come soon or I may never get back to normal Abby or Abbynormal. I will admit I've had more problems in this pregnancy then Riley's and Stella's combined, so I somewhat have an excuse for my behavior. 4 weeks to go as of today. Everyone asks, " How much longer do you have?" I say 4 weeks and they say "Oh that is soooo close!" Ummmm....NO!!!! It is sooooo far away. September seems like a whole year from now. I might actually end up back-handing someone before this is all said and done. You know the Green Day song keeps popping in my head, but in my own words. " Wake me up when September COMES!!!" I believe this pregnancy has answered my question of whether or not we will be having a 4th child. Unless we do the Angelina, Madonna, Sheryl Crow thing and adopt...the answer is NO.
Ok so appointment update time: I am 50% effaced and still 1 cm dilated. BOOOOOO!!! Had to get some lab work done to see why I have been getting faint, dizzy, and blah blah blah. I will be going back to the dr. next Wednesday. So, until then you can find me in an oversized chair in the corner with my feet propped up on an ottoman, catching up on reality TV, olympics and All MY CHILDREN. Don't worry...my phone charger is plugged in right by the chair. You can still reach me that way! Preggo OUT!

1st Day of School

Today is Riley's first day of 2nd grade. I can't believe my son is this old. Time has just flown by. He is an amazing, handsome, and smart young man. Jason & I are so blessed to have him as our son. So here is praying fro another great school year for Riley. Stella starts Pre-K in a few weeks and our little guy will make his entrance into the world around then too. Good luck to all my nephews and neices and friends children on their first days too!!!
