Getting Closer....

...but still not here. I haven't blogged much lately..it's been busy and I'm trying to slow down a bit. It's difficult making myself rest and take it easy when there is always so much to do. Dave has had to pick up a lot of the slack because I just don't have it in me anymore. We are at 38 weeks now and still waiting. Contractions are becoming more intense..but still not painful or regular. So I'm guessing it will still be at least a week, probably longer. I wish and hope sooner. Rayne is doing fine. Her eczema is so so..she is needing more allergy medicine than she had been..I think it's that time of year again. Allergy season. She is VERY much looking forward to going to Disneyland and we are planning to go in June. While Quinn is still young enough to be content being in the sling and not wanting to get down and crawl around! Rayne can't wait to see the princesses..that is her favorite thing right now. She said something funny the other day...she came over to my belly and asked Quinn if he was going to come out today. I told her he was probably too warm and cozy in there and doesn't want to come out. Kinda like when she is in a warm bath and she doesn't want to come out because she knows she will be cold. So she leaned over and told Quinn that she would get him a warm towel if he would come out, lol. I thought it was cute and funny. She's always saying stuff that cracks us up. Silly girl. Well that's about it for now...not sure when I'll get back on again. One of these days it will be a birth announcement!

36 weeks...4 weeks and counting til due date...

And I am SO ready. My ankles are no more. When I walk, it feels funny cuz one foot is so swollen. Rayne turned 5 Wed.! She had a really good birthday. It started very early thanks to DAVE. As soon as she opened her eyes he asked her if she had a present in the kitchen waiting for her..at 8:30 in the morning! She didn't fall asleep until 11:30 the night before. So of course she came out and woke me up and then unveiled her present...a brand new bike. Princess of course. And now she has a princess bedroom too. Her room got painted and her new bed put in and princess removeable stickers placed all over the walls and a castle. It's very girly now. So we of course went to the park and let her ride her bike for a while and then she chose Applebees to go eat and then went to her cousins house to do the pinata and ride bikes more. THEN we had to rush home and change for ballet class and after ballet we went home for cake and a present from Grandma and Grandpa. She also got an online pet..Webkinz..from Grandma/pa E. She hugged the little dog as soon as she saw it and named it July..it's a girl. Anyway, it was a very busy day and a very busy week. It was exhausting. But she had fun and hopefully some memories were made for her Golden Birthday. We are in the planning stage for a trip to Disney this year. But it will just be me and the kids and my sister. Dave has to work and already has a lot of time to take off in the next 7 months. So he will have to go next trip when Quinn is old enough. Ok, I'm tired...off now.

Quinn's new name will now be Wiggle Worm

He has seriously not let up today...has been SO wiggly! He is one active little boy. I think he's going to keep Rayne very busy...and us! 5 weeks til due date and hopefully not much more than that before he makes is appearance. We are getting excited! I want to get Rayne's room painted and ready for her..we are making it girly for her..hoping to make it more appealing for her to sleep in on a regular basis! She's been doing good off and on. She's been really whiney lately though which is driving us bonkers..not sure what she is going through...but between that and the baby talk..ugh. I'll be glad when this stage is over. I got online and kind of started planning our trip to Disneyland possibly next fall after the Feast. Still not sure on the dates though. She is very excited about it. Can't wait to meet the princesses and go on the teacups. And see the castle. She LOVES the Disney commercials now. They sure know how to hook the right people. We got her a new bike for her birthday...can you guess what theme it is?? Did you guess Disney princess? And it has a license plate on it that says Roo. We are as excited to give it to her on Wed. as she will be to get it. We got her a new helmet and knee pads to match too. Spoiled child. She wants a pinata too. AND she ballet class on her birthday...it's going to be one busy day for her. Dave took the day off so we are taking her to lunch too. And I have an appt. with the OB that we may or may not use. We will probably all konk out early Wed. night!!
The picture is of my niece, Miette..who calls me Hi-O...sounds like a Native name, lol.
