Breaking News!!!!!

Now that I have had time to calm down from my MONDAY'S Doctor's appt. I will tell you what is going on.
I had just my routine check-up on Monday. He said everything looked good but there was still very minimal dilation...we all know that isn't good. So I was just expecting him to say that since I had a huge baby last time and that I am going to be 39 weeks...hey, lets just induce you on Friday. Friday would have been perfect! But NO....he wanted to wait until my due date of Oct 3...I was like oh hell no! Does he not remember my 10 lb 3oz child that was close to 23in long born just 3 years ago!!! Well I didn't forget...his first words after delivering Landen were "wow, should've had a c-section", if I could have used my legs...he would've been kicked hard! Not only that but when you tear almost to a 4th degree tear...those aren't fun...sorry doc! So we kind of compromised and my induction date is on Tuesday September 29th, 2009 at 6:30am! So there is a light at the end of the tunnel!
I am sort of glad it is on Tuesday now! Main and I decided that Saturday is going to be Landen Day! We are going to take him to get his haircut (which he does like), go see Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, and then Chuck E Cheese....maybe some more stuff! We just felt like this kids world is going to be turned around in about 5 days why not just let him enjoy one day alone with just his mommy and daddy and doing all the fun stuff that he likes to do! I cant wait for Saturday!

On the school front Friday September 25th is my last day of teaching! Whoo-hoo....I am not going to lie...I am dying now that I am towards the end of my pregnancy! I just cant wait to have my energy back! I will not be returning to school until January 11th! So I get a good 3.2 months off!!! I wish I could just stay home...daycare is crazy with their prices! But got to do what we got to do!

I will put another post up of how Saturday goes with Landen! Then the next post will be our new baby!!!!!

Bear down CHICAGO BEARS!

Plus, we cannot forget Sunday night football. Bears vs Packers first game this season. The boys were so excited to pull out their jerseys! Landen is now going around saying "IT'S FOOTBALL TIME"! so stinking cute! Here are some pictures!

Me and my dad

Go Bears Go!!!

So excited for Game Day!!!

Time flies when we are having fun!!!

Here is some recent activity from the last two weeks!Well we had an ultrasound done on Wednesday to check the fetal growth. Lordy, we are having another biggin'. Now please bear with me when I reveal the data or just feel really sorry for me!

Head circumference: 41 weeks 1 day- if you all know my husband this is his present
Abdominal: 39 weeks 5 days
Length: 39 weeks 1 day

Kidneys, heart, and lungs....etc...looked awesome, so we are now just awaiting little ones arrival!

I have another doctors appt this Thursday with the Nurse practitioner because my doctor decided it would be best to be in Montana fly fishing....no baby doctor should ever have vacation...just kidding...but seriously makes me nervous! I am starting to swell a little in my feet (due to being back at school on my feet all day). I am also starting to have random contractions throughout the day...I just love these :) All in all everything is going the way it is supposed to!

This past weekend I was in a wedding of one of my very very close friends. We had tons of fun and have pictures to prove it. Also, this will be my 37th week picture for you all to view and see how huge I am.

Then this morning I came into work and on our board read "Cake in Lounge". So of course me being the fatty that I am went down for cake at 7:30 in the morning. The staff at Hebron had gotten me a cake, made some signs and a gift card for Target! I love my staff here at Hebron and they have made my day!

The beautiful Bride and me
