36 weeks

Today we are 36 weeks pregnant. I had my doctor appt today. Things look good. My cervix is softening. and the baby looks good. I have Non-stress tests two times a week. Today he decided not to comply with it, so I was able to get a quick ultrasound. I was able to see his face and hands. So cute. It was quick, the doctor was just checking for movment, and heart rates. Im feel very large and am very embarrased that im catching up to josh as far as weight it concerned. Its going to be a VERY long weight loss road for me when its all said and done. Jacob will be here two weeks from Thursday. I cannot wait to meet him.

Elaine and I are spending alot of quality time together. Today she helped me to wash bottles and then I sanitized them. She was so proud to stand at the counter and help out. When it was all done, she did not want to be done. She threw a huge!! fit when i said we were done. She kept saying to me"mommy help Jacob" explaining to her during a tantrum that she did help and that we are done because there are no more things to wash, is nearly impossible.

yesterday we went outside to play. I was feeling good and decided to join elaine on the ground and draw with chalk. when i was done and could not sit any longer I tried to roll over and get up. Only I could not get enough momentum to get up. I said to lainey "please bring mommy the wagon, im stuck and need help getting up" she actually rolled it to me,and I was able to grab on and pull my self back up. So a few mins later she is laying back down drawing and she says"mommy help,wagon stuck" I laughed so hard she was doing what she saw me do. the other funny part is that she got up, went and got the wagon by herself, layed back down then pulled herself up. It was a very funny moment.

We also enjoyed last friday with warm temps 65 degrees. We played outside all day and I had the windows open and enjoyed every minute of it. Elaine is growing up so fast, She is taken to potty training, and is talking and singing so much. I love spending time with her and watching her grow and mature and learn about the world around her.

Josh, is well Josh. Nothing new with him. He is busy with work. and spends one night a week with guys from work,they go hit softballs. He loves doing that!!! He has also broke out the chuck norris total gym again 3 times a week. Looking mighty buff I might add :)

We are both trying to prepare to bring another baby into the house. We are getting things together and preparing our minds for lack of sleep and helping Elaine adjust to her world that is soon to be turned upside down.
