So, the Doc came in this morning and said that the nurse from last night was wrong. I am not 4 cm, I am somewhere between 2-3 cm. She asked the nurse to stop the Pitocin that had already been flowing for half an hour.
Now I am home. Waiting. Again.

Katie loves a challenge. It happens with every kid. We are here and at 4cm.

The doctor just told me that they won’t induce until the 5th of August.
That was not what I wanted to hear.

Although the baby could show up at anytime now, there is an official end to the insanity in view. This morning the Doc told me that an induction would be scheduled for Wednesday, July 30. Both of the girls showed up before their inductions happened, so we’re hoping for the same thing this time. There just has to be a plan in place for them to rebel against it.

16 Days.
I can live through 16 more days.

I know everyone thinks that their kid is a genius but seriously. My four year old made this by herself. I’m proud.

Seven years ago today, Josh and I tied the knot. It’s been a busy seven years and a wonderful seven years. We’ve moved 6 times, had 7 different jobs between the two of us, become parents of (nearly) 3 children, bought our first house and started driving a minivan.
It is safe to say that we have been domesticated.
Thanks for making me a happily married woman, babe.
I love you.

when you say “No” to a two year-old.

Oh, the drama! Is it bedtime yet?

I don’t know about you, but I keep staring at that stupid ticker on this page and wonder why it is moving sooooo slowly. The Dr. said I wouldn’t make it to August, which means that I have 38 days left at most, but I can’t figure out how to change that darn ticker up there. It says that I have 45 days left, and that is not okay. That is 7 days that I will not be able to bear, y’all. Fix it Josh.
Anyway, that’s what’s pretty much consuming my world right now. (That and the fact that it’s time to start Christmas design planning at work.)
So here’s what my nearly 34 week baby bump looks like, measuring right at 34 weeks.

If that’s not a Willy Wonka Christmas candy experiment gone wrong, I don’t know what is .
Happy Monday.
