Hoping for Soon

We're sitting here at 2 weeks before my due date hoping for anytime now. I keep having awful pains between my hip and left leg, which Kris keeps saying is a contraction. Amazingly, he hasn't figured out that there isn't a baby down there. I did just have to go over my progression from last time with him, because he swore that I was at 3cm for 3 weeks, when in fact I never got to 3 cm before the day Ryan was born. So here's hoping that is progress. I have been having contractions, but they are very irregular. We'll keep you posted.

Kris ended up being in Akron for 2 nights this week, which gave Ryan and I some quality time - as if we don't usually get it!! It makes for a very tired Mom by the time I get him into bed. He hasn't gotten a sticker all week for staying in bed at night (but is doing great at naptime). Kris said he was up a few times with him last night, but I never heard it.

On Thursday, Kris took Ryan for a hike again, which Ryan just loves. He comes home covered in dirt. Friday, we had my doctors appointment and then Ryan's evaluation with the school district to see if he qualifies for preschool and/or speech therapy help (for after he turns 3). Of course, the doctors office was running behind so we were late, but we got everything done and had time to play outside before lunch. We were back out in the sunshine after nap time, with Ryan playing in the rocks in the lot next to us and picking dandelions. Today, we visited a friend of ours who gave us all their girl clothes, since they are having a boy, so we are well stocked. Then after naptime, we had our church pictures taken and then went to church (who knows - maybe we'll have the baby now that we've fulfilled that obligation). After church we attended the Boy Scout dinner at the elementary school Ryan will go to. Pretty busy times for us. So now, I'm up for sitting on the couch and reading a book - maybe watching part of a movie and doing some Sudoku.
