Still Pregnant...

Well, I made it to another doctor's appointment today and still no baby. Unless baby decides to make his entry into the world on his own accord, I'm scheduled to be induced on the 28th...he'll have to come out whether he wants to or not! I'm obviously very excited and anxious. At this point, I'm more than ready for his arrival. I still have a little hope that he'll decide to come on his own, but with my track record, perhaps it's not too likely. Only time will tell, I'll keep you posted.

Pregnancy Update!

We're almost there! I had my 38 week, 5 day appointment today and things are looking very promising. The doctor said she wouldn't be surprised if I went into labor on my own before my next appointment which is on the 23rd. I'm trying not to get my hopes too high, but I would really like to go into labor on my own this time. With both Tatum and Owen I was ultimately induced to get things going...Tatum was 6 days late and Owen arrived on his due date. I think I may start walking laps around my cul-de-sac to see if I can't get things moving!! Hopefully my next post is pictures of the newest member of our family!

Whatever Works

OK, so I knew the days of the kids going to sleep in their own beds in the same room couldn't possibly go smooth forever. At some point, I figured we would have to deal with a bump in the road. We've reached that bump! Owen has always been a great napper/sleeper, but lately seems to have been getting too much sleep. When I want him to go to bed at 8:00, he isn't quite tired enough to go to sleep. So, he either ends up in bed with me, or as of lately his sis. Here's a pic of them I snapped last night in Tatum's bed. My attitude at 38 weeks and 5 days pregnant (Yes! I'm counting the days) is whatever works!

Day Out With Thomas

We've been looking forward to this event for months! Owen is a HUGE Thomas The Train fan so we bought tickets for Day Out With Thomas so we could all enjoy a real train ride on Thomas. Here are a few pics from our day.

Owen's eyes were glued to the window the majority of the train ride. He was definitely overwhelmed with excitement!

Tatum was very exicted to meet Sir Topham Hatt, Owen wasn't quite sure.

Kidz Love Soccer

Today, I took Tatum to her very first soccer class. The soccer school is put on by an organization called Kidz Lover Soccer that teaches age appropriate soccer skills in a fun and non-competitive environment. Tatum was very excited for her first class today, especially because she was able to try out her new shin-guards and cleats. She had a great time and is already looking forward to her next class!

4th of July Parade

Here are a few pics from this years 4th of July Parade at Speebidah. The theme this year was Hawaiian Luau. Tatum was very into it, occasionally performing a hula dance for the spectators. Owen, on the other hand, was not really on board. Ultimately, we strapped him into the neighbors stroller and he rolled through the parade like that.

Now I Know My ABC's

Here's 1 of many renditions of the ABC song the kids performed for me the other day. Owen is definitely catching on. I'm certain he knows the entire song, but is only able to get out every 4th or 5th letter. He loves to practice his ABC's with our fridge magnet music gizmo, so it shouldn't be long before he's got it down solid.
