No Progress!

Alright! I am tired of being pregnant! I went to the Dr. again today and I am dilated to 1.5 and still 60% effaced! I can't stand it! I was very disappointed but what do you do? So if anyone has any suggestions as to how to get this baby out, please email me! I need to have her today!

General Conference

During General Conference I was unable to hear most of the talks because my kids were so hyper! I finally decided that the only way I was going to get them to calm down was to entertain them with something they don't get to do very often. I decided to let them do my hair and makeup. I had about two pounds of aerosol hairspray in my hair, glitter, and detangler (anything they could use to spray on my hair was fabulous)! Then my makeup was about 4 different shades of every color! My lips had 3 different colors on them- you can barely see my beautiful pink lips in one of the pictures. After they were done decorating me I decided they could use WASHABLE markers to decorate their sister! Boy was this a blast! They were giggling the whole time! This all took up about three talks during conference and the kids were actually hearing some of the talks too! It was a great idea! The marker came off pretty good too!

When Will Lea Be Here?

Okay, so we have come up with a name for this little baby of ours. We have decided on Lea, however, upon seeing her when she is born the name is subject to change without notice. We sure are excited though. A small update on "our" progress...last Tuesday (April 8th- 36 weeks) I was dilated to a whopping 1...this week (April 15th- 37 weeks) I was a whopping 1 again, I was 60% effaced though! Woo hoo! I don't know if hitting my two week early mark will happen again but I guess we can still be hopeful.

I am ready as far as the crib being up, diapers purchased, clothing washed, bags packed, etc. I don't now about being mentally ready. The thought of waking up every two hours in the middle of the night is haunting me. I know the kids are excited though. Isaac told my sister the other day that I had had the baby and she was out now! They are so funny about the whole thing.
