a little midnight update

by the time you all read this..this little baby should be born. hopefully. i am awake at 1:51 a.m. (actually i was awake at 11:58 p.m. but who's keeping track..right?) Luke is going to kill me when he finds out I'm not sleeping, but let's be a bit honest here. it's not MY fault that i started having contractions and that's what woke me up. i was asleep for a little under an hour and the induction is fastly approaching. what to do, what to do...

1.) bathroom break (because all the pregnant women are doing it!)
2.) eat a light snack (because all the pregnant women are doing it!)
3.) keep track of contractions (see above)
4.) get on email, facebook, google reader and blog (because what else am i going to do at 1:54 a.m.)

in other news? my sister and her absolutely adorable little boy are here. we are so lucky to have them and i hope that my kids don't overwhelm her TOO much!

i'll update in about 12 hours or less..hope everyone is having a fabulous wednesday!

301 POSTS!

Wow! I know! I know! I have posted for the past 3 days! (When's the last time THAT happened?!)
Anyway, 300+ posts...and many, MANY more to come! Here's some random pictures:

the ONE picture I took while my parents were here. spencer LOVES grandpa! he followed him around the entire time...too cute!

At the park after grandma and grandpa went home

Heisman?

Sooo ready to have this baby...and yes, we call this the cow shirt..and yes, I am the cow in it! ;-) (I don't love the fact that I put this on the internet, but at the same time, I regret not having a full on picture right before I had Livi and Spencer...so here goes nothing!)

Right before the Father/Son campout. Matching hats and shirts...too cute!

another update: induction

so, the Dr's office called today to tell me about my induction time. yep, i am going to be induced.

when you ask? on my due date. 6.3.09.

why? well originally I didn't feel really "right" about being induced this time. with spencer there were reasons (we were graduating, moving to Kansas and didn't want him brand, BRAND new, just brand new :), and he was measuring by ultrasound 6 weeks early), but this time around the baby has been spot on in all measurement (except the Buddha belly). Then a few weeks/months ago they started talking about inducting around my 39th week (bc I was measuring 3-4 weeks ahead). I wasn't too keen on the idea, but kept it in the back of my mind. Two weeks ago, Dr. Bashour again talked about 39 weeks, but I just said I don't have a problem with being induced, but I wasn't going to really do it too early, unless medically needed. Then last week he said, "What about June 2nd?" I liked that (not too early, ect), so I was getting my hopes up..until yesterday. They told me that they had already scheduled his max. allotted and I was wait-listed. I was a little sad b/c you don't tell a preggo one thing and change it. (ok, ok, it's only one day, but still--I have this THING about dates--long story). Long story short? I am scheduled to go in on Wednesday, and instead of being number 2 or 3 wait-listed on tuesday..I am the first one on the waiting list...so we'll see. I'll call on Monday and they'll let me know!

time? i'm scheduled at 4 a.m. (ridiculously early time!!), who makes a preggo go in at that time? Don't they know me?! (although, to be perfectly honest, i have been waking up at 3:30 a.m. every single morning for the past 4 or 5 days, so I guess it won't be too bad, right?)

ideally? we would have this baby on our own. although, there is a bit of spontaneity with that (like with livi), I also like to be a little more prepared, especially with 2 OTHER children waiting at home for us.

So, even though I won't be getting a lot of this:

We get to have another one of these:

And we are TOTALLY excited for that!
