Progress naturally

I hate those words. I really wanted to have a schedule today. It would have made my life, well, scheduled. Which, when you have a toddler and sister who lives 45 minutes away that will take care of him, it would be easier to be scheduled. But, grumbling aside, she is still perfect. She's measuring more like she's 37 1/2 weeks. (I'm actually 36) and we're guessing around 7.2 pounds right now. He said that could vary either way, so she could be anywhere from 6.5 to 8 pounds. I'm only dilated about 1 cm. So, he wants to take a wait and see approach for right now and let me "progress naturally." I'm not sure what I expected. I guess I was really hoping that we'd say, ok on this day, we'll go to the hospital. But, I'm still under the impression from the doc that we will not go full term, or even to 39 weeks. Might be 38 or 38 1/2. I guess the overall word is "Stay Tuned for Coming Attractions..."

In other news, Noah has learned the word No and how to use it properly. But it's more like "Noo-oooo" whenever we do something he doesn't like. And he's proudly reaching his terrible twos tantrum phase. He cries and throws himself on the floor when he doesn't get his way. Too bad it doesn't bother us and he still doesn't get his way. Good thing is, this only happens at home right now. Oh boy is he in for it when Gloria arrives!

And just a few more that wouldn't fit

We're just outside our garage blowing bubbles and digging in the sand. The unfortunate end result of all this was a foray into a fire ant bed. This was about 2 weeks ago and his feet are just about cleared up.

More pics than I can handle

Here's Wally and I on one of our rare nights out alone at a friends wedding in September.











My little cuddle bug REALLY loves his blanket. He'll cuddle up with it anywhere, even if it's the kitchen.





Some Pics from my and Noah's trip to the Animal Kingdom in September.

Noah also loves the dishwasher and tries to "help" whenever he can.

Picture update

More to come soon. Here are some pics from our trip to MGM with Noah in August.

Crafty

I am so proud of myself today. Got in the creative mood and started making Noah's costume for Halloween. He is going to be a dalmatian puppy. I've got all the spots, and the ears and the tail done, just waiting to apply everything. I think we're going to penney's to get pictures taken this weekend.
Went to the doctor's appt yesterday. Everything is moving along as planned. Nothing new really to report there. We're going to skip the next appointment and just wait for the ultrasound on the 25th. He said that at the latest, we'll schedule to be induced on the 8th. All in all I feel pretty good. I'm still ready, but this one has been much better overall.
Noah is as cute as ever. I think he might be catching on that something's going on with Mommy. He lifts my shirt and gives my belly kisses. Of course, he's still going to be in a real big shock when I bring Gloria home.
More news on the possibility of working from home to come real soon I hope...
