Is it Thursday Already?

Went to my weekly OB checkup today. I am now full-term so that baby can come out anytime now! She examined me and said the baby's head was definitely low down (um, I would think so because he actually feels like he's going to fall out sometimes!), I was 80% effaced (thinned out), and 2 cm dilated. And even better- I lost 2 lbs!! The last 2 times I went to the Dr. I had heavy shoes on and told the nurse to take off a pound for my big shoes. But she just kinda laughed and didn't do it- so I really think I weigh the same as last time (minus the heavy shoes).
All of this is exciting to me because it means WE"RE GOING TO HAVE BABY SOON!!! You would think I know this by now, but the reality of it has still not quite caught up with me.

And in other news...
It's been a long week (and it's not even over yet): Sophie had a fever all weekend and still had this nasty green snot coming out. I took her to the Dr and turns out she has ear infections in both ears and possibly a sinus infection. Poor baby! Got her on antibiotics so she is now starting to feel better and be more herself. She had to miss school Tuesday (her long day), so that kinda sucked for me, as I'm used to having a little time to get errands run or do things in peace!

Sophie did go to school today and when I picked her up her teacher told me she and another girl got in a real fight. She's only 1 1/2 years old! Had to be my kid that gets in a fight though. So the other girl tried taking Sophie's toy away and AHHH!! they started pulling and screaming at each other, both were yelling "MINE!"- can you just picture this?


Dwayne plays hockey tonight- last game for awhile since the winter season's over. And I think he'll be pretty busy here soon!
And tomorrow night I get to go out for a movie night with the girls! We are going to see Million Dollar Baby at Alamo Drafthouse. For those of you who have never experienced the Alamo Drafthouse, it's dinner & a movie all in one. You get to watch your movie, order your food and drinks, and they bring it right to you. Fabulous idea eh?

Have a great weekend and enjoy a beer for me if you can!

I thnk Oma better come sooner than she had planned. Baby Boy is going to be here soon -- I think within the next 2 weeks.
As for the little fighter, she is used to having things her way. Being strong willed like she is, there was no way that other child was going to get her toy!! I doubt that any kid is ever going to bully her. Mom

Other kids should TOTALLY know better than to take Sophie's toys! Grace can fill them in on the details! :)

Also...you don't take your shoes off when you weigh yourself? Crazy lady! I strip off everything to the point that I'm just barely decent to be standing in the public viewing area...extra ounces add up to pounds and I need all the help I can get now!!!

We took a vote here and 6 votes for Holden. (that's also the name I wanted to name Darryl but your dad won.
We are really hoping for a baby to be born this week, like maybe Wednesday or Thursday.....but not Friday.
As for the fighter in the little girl....I think that comes from her daddy's side. Her uncles didn't let anybody push them around either.
Have a good week you guys.
