somehow emma knew just when he would come. 2 months ago when I was putting things on the calendar she was putting stickers everywhere and placed this one randomly on the calendar...weird. I realized this after getting home from the appointment when the doctor and I had set up a date to be induced.
more info to come.
The last couple of days I have been a very bad mom and have been neglecting my kids. This pregnancy this week has been a rough one for me and yesterday even found myself at the doctor being hydrated with fluid through an IV because I couldn't stop throwing up. A lot of people would tell me "its a sign" and he is coming very soon, but the doctor checked me again and I still am dilated the same (just barely a two) and now he is "floating" and not down where he should be like he has been for awhile now (so I feel like instead of progressing I am taking a step back...yea)
So Aaron being he amazing dad that he is has totally been awesome in keeping the kids entertained. Yesterday I came home to them playing in the backyard with a slip n slide he took them to go get while I was at the doctor. They loved it, especially Jonas and it totally brightened my super crappy day to see them playing and having such a fun time with their dad. He also cooked dinner and put them to bed for me for the last few days (Have I said yet how awesome he is??). 
Just to update I am going back into the doctor again (for my regular appt) and we will try AGAIN to strip my membranes and hopefully get things going this time. Also, the sickness of yesterday was because of something I ate...yea for food poisoning at the end of this pregnancy just to make things that much better:) and no baby yet. But on the good side my mom will be here on Monday!!!
This year we wanted to plant a garden, but if you have seen our yard we are lacking a lot of space. So just to start we planted just a few things. We started out great and things were looking very promising. Then Emma decided to replant our cantaloupe in a completely different place in the yard. And as soon as the broccoli budded she thought she would pick it. We have since talked to her about when you pick or even when you touch something it will DIE...and now so far so good. Until the other day we were invaded by the "very hungry caterpillar" or should I say caterpillarS...actually I am not sure if they were caterpillars or just worms (I do not like bugs of any kind and so I didn't get too close to investigate). They ate one whole broccoli plant and half a a few others. NOT happy about it at all. Our family really LOVES broccoli and we were really looking forward to eating it. We will just have to see what happens with it. 
Not too long ago Abby's kindergarten class went to the zoo. Aaron was able to go with her and they both had a great time. 
So this past Saturday turned out to be a very eventful saturday. We had planned on a BBQ with some friends and date night for Aaron and I that night...was supposed to be a good day. I woke up just really REALLY wanting this baby out. I kept thinking I just REALLY want to go to the hospital today, but I had some yummy ribs and a date with aaron to look forward to. Aaron went over to another friends to help with the yard before we were to have our BBQ. Lovingly he took the girls and I got some time to get a few things done while Jonas took a nap. Then I got a phone call saying Aaron hit his head and needed to go to the hospital. Apparently, he was digging a ditch and jumped out to get something ran around the tractor and as he came around didn't see the bucket of the tractor high above him and hit it (while running) with his head. He says he remembers hitting and then looking up from the ground and the gush of blood. So I took him to the ER after our friends had to bring him home and take jonas because our car wouldn't start (what are the chances). 3 hours and 6 staples (yes, STAPLES...GROSS) later Aaron was still determined to take me out for dinner. He is amazing I know...or he was mad that he didn't get to eat the ribs that we had to cancel because of our trip to the ER..either way I love him...staples and all. 
So for 10 whole days he gets to wear his new jewelry and hopefully the NEXT time we find ourselves at the hospital will be for me:) and I have learned to be careful what you wish for...sorry aaron.
emma screaming from another room:
"mom, what do you say?...MOM!!...I SNEEZED...what do you say?...did you hear me i sneezed...MOM I SNEEZED WHAT DO YOU SAY TO ME?....MOM!!"
me:
"what?, OH BLESS YOU!!"
emma: (in her "ive waited too long and are now super irritated" voice)
"thank you"
goodness you would have thought that if she didn't get an immediate "bless you" after a sneeze she could have very well died. and I am always supposed to have supersonic ears.
I just LOVE this little boy. I love that he will still wants to snuggle. I love how he says yes, he doesn't nod his head...he just lifts his eyebrows. I love that he asks for hugs and kisses. I love to see how excited he gets when he sees his daddy and how excited he gets when yo gabba gabba is on and will scream the theme song, and does biz's beats:). I love his one little dimple and the look he gives when he knows he is being sneaky. He is becoming less of a baby and more of a little boy and it makes me sad, but I know that he is going to be a great big brother. And I can't wait to have two boys in our home:)
