Going to Pop!

This is us on our family vacation in july. we went to maine with my family : )
they are just too cute!

since the boys were both in plaid, i wanted to take a picture of the two of them together

38.5 weeks

well, according to my second due date, i am 38 weeks and 4 days. i just had a doctors appointment today, and i am 3 cm and 80% effaced. my doctor is on call THIS weekend and the doctor at their office that i DESPISE is on call next weekend, so im REALLY hoping to have the baby within the next week and NOT next weekend. : ) im sure hes a good person, but hes just not a good doctor. i went to him for a few months when we lived here in springfield for internships 2 summers ago. i was prego with cole. anyway, i just would be so depressed if he ended up having to deliver for me. SO with a full moon this weekend, and all of your prayers ; ) maybe i will have this girl this weekend! i doubt it though since i was induced with tucker and cole, im sure i will have to be induced with this wee babe as well. after i told my doctor i did NOT want to deliver with the other doctor, she said i could schedule an elective induction next friday if i wanted. i just dont know though, it would be sooo nice, but im not sure i want to make that decision. we will see : ) anyway, so heres a pic for 38 weeks, and a few other pictures of what has been going on lately!!! sorry ive been so lazy... i dont have any excuse except for just being lazy : )

we still dont have a name picked out for this baby girl, but im hoping we can at least get it down to a couple before we go to the hospital. we are all getting pretty anxious to meet her! the boys are getting especially excited! they are going to be great big brothers and big helpers, im sure! im kinda getting nervous for recovery with 2 hyper little men running around, but im sure it will be fine. im just getting uncomfortable at this point, and i want to have her out of my belly and in my arms!

tucker and cole are so fun. they are starting to fight more, which has been hard, but they are also playing better than they ever have too. they both love to be outside and run around. they both love love love to fish! tucker is getting soo good with writing and learning letters which is exciting. im going to have a little preschool curriculum for tucker (and a little for cole) starting this fall for the school year. we just dont think preschool is for us, but i love teaching the boys, and tucker is eager to learn, so im going to figure a little something to do every day (if i can keep up with it :) ) of the school week. it might just be a fantasy though lol. cole is talking more and more and he is doing well with going potty on the toilet (if i remember to keep up with it and ask him every few hours.) ryan is as hard working as ever, and he definately makes me a better person. he is so patient with the boys. and there is nothing like seeing the boys get so excited to see him when he gets home. he gets down and plays with them just like he is a 3 year old : ) i am definately a lucky gal. we are very blessed and are very excited to meet our new little lady! well, im already out of stuff to say. maybe i can get better at this blog thing sometime!

until next time...which could possibly be next year.... : )
