Wish me Luck

Today I get to see our little boy one last time before he comes out. I'm measuring small which for me is a little odd seeing as I have ginormous kids, so I'm going to make sure I'm not loosing any fluids. With our luck I kind of feel like the worst will happen because we're really not that prepared for this kid to come so of course I'll be induced. Hopefully not though, after washing the baby clothes yesterday it finally hit me we're going to have a very tiny person around soon! I'd like just a little more time to mentally prepare for nursing, lack of sleep, and the general chaos that comes with a new baby. So wish me luck I don't have to be induced today!

Conference Weekend

We had a great relaxing weekend! Shawn only had to go into the hospital for a few hours on Saturday and had the rest of the time off! It was great so we decided to go hang out with our great friends in Humble. We love going up there, its almost like having a babysitter for our kids because all of the kids play so well together. It was also nice for me to have someone to talk to the numerous times Shawn fell asleep. He really needs to get his body back to a "normal" schedule. Saturday we even stayed up to the wee hour of midnight we were having so much fun and for those who know us know a late night for us is 10. We went out again yesterday and I made my mom's cinnamon rolls. YUMMY! I've never made them by myself but I think they turned out pretty well. We loved eating, talking, relaxing and listening to conference. It was so nice to have a break from the usual craziness going on around here. In baby news I had a dream I had the baby and was all by myself, which was really weird I actually remember asking a friend from church stay with me b/c I for whatever reason Shawn and my mom were no where to be found. That's not happening though. Shawn is sick of school and is very much looking forward to being there with me. My Dr. also guessed that I'll probably only make it to 38 weeks. Fine by me although I'm still a little nervous for some reason. You'd think by my third I'd be a bit more confident in my abilities to bear children, we'll see soon enough!

Back to basics

Its great having Shawn home! I'm so glad he's had a few days to decompress after being gone for so long. I was up late (for me anyways) and he made me go to bed and finished everything for my preschool lesson I had today. It was so great and I slept better than I have in a while. In other news we're pretty sure Devin has lazy eye, so I get to take him into the doctor tomorrow hoping to just get referred to an opthomologist within a month or two. Hopefully he'll just have to wear a patch on his eye but who knows, and I have no clue how we're going to get him to keep it on. I also have an ob appointment tomorrow and will probably have to take Devin with me because his appointment is right after mine. And did I mention he HATES the doctor? Seriously he screams when they try and touch him. I'd also like to see if I'm dilated at my appointment tomorrow since I've had some contractions lately and I don't know how to do that with a toddler in the room. I think I'm just going to have to push back an appointment or something. So that's our news for the next little while. I'm starting to feel much more busy lately which really I guess is the new normal for us! Yesterday Shawn said how excited he was about 4th year b/c its going to be so easy, I'm not buying it, but we'll see.

So Happy!!!

Shawn is coming home tomorrow! I can't wait. I just set in this morning and now I have all the energy in the world! What's even better is that he did a great job during his rotations and has an interview in North Carolina when its time for all of that, which is really great news. It feels like the past two months have really payed off! We are so proud of him and can't wait to see him. I have some serious cooking/baking to do now! Also just as a fair warning to all calling Shawn for whatever reason in the next few days I just might hang up on you. He's ours until he goes back to school on the first. I'm a little tempted to turn off our phones so no one bothers us, selfish I know, but I haven't seen him in 6 weeks so whatever, I feel I"ve earned that right.

Gross!!!

So if anyone was planning on coming to dessert group you didn't miss out. At least on my food. The cannolies were NASTY! Ok so they could've been worse but not much. Thank goodness other people brought good food. It was a really fun night I feel bad my dessert didn't turn out well. I think next month I'll stick to something I know how to do; pies. I've done those before and am pretty confident in my skills there. Hopefully people will still come next month! I promise to make something good next time!

Cannoli Night

So tomorrow night is the monthly dessert group. I'm very excited because I'm making cannolies. I have no clue if I spelled that right. I've never made them so hopefully they'll turn out well. Someone also suggested doing a theme for every night so I guess tomorrow will be Italian desserts. If you want to make something else that's great too, just a little direction for those who want ideas. I'll also have praline bars and obviously those are not Italian. Anyways I hope to see lots of people there!
