This weather...

is NOT making for a productive day.  I would love to be piled up on the couch sleeping right now.  My little Jonathan will be here next week.. yes, NEXT WEEK.  I can't believe it!  I will be holding my newest little blessing in 8 days!  I have been so sleepy.  I think it might be my body's way of telling me to enjoy the sleep now, b/c it will be without it for a while.  LOL  Mike left for work at 2am, and he didn't wake me when he left.  grrrrrrrr!  He said I was sleeping so good on the couch that he didn't want to wake me.  I usually hear him stirring about, but not this morning.  He said he was being as quiet as possible.  He is too sweet, but I wish I could have kissed him goodbye.

I went to the doctor yesterday.  Everything is moving right along.  Apparently my annoying contractions are doing a little good.  He said my cervix seems to be softening and I'm probably dialated 1-2 cm.  YAY!  Andrew said, "Mama please don't tell me that your labor is starting.  Daddy is at work."  LOL  He is scared to death that he is going to have to drive me to the hospital.  At least he would be driving legally.
All the kids rode w/ me to the appointment, but they stayed in the van.  It was nice enough that they could let the windows down and read books, annoy Andrew, etc.  After a quick trip to Wally World, we went to see Grandpa Rex.  He kept commenting that he had not seen Luke since he started walking.  Okay, I can take a hint that it  had been a while since the kids had been there.  BUT, he doesn't realize that we don't go to Statesboro all the time.  I try to avoid the 'Boro like the plague... only going for my doctor appointments which are usually at 9am.  If I woke the little ones early enough to take them to those early appointments, they would be rattlesnakes by the time we got to Grandpa's house.  Yesterday's appointment was at 2pm.  We stayed about 45 minutes, I guess.  The kids were getting restless, so we left.  They came home, changed clothes, then went outside to run off some energy.

Well, I'm outta here for now.  Love ya bunches!

I don't do the layout of the blog. I leave that job to my dear sister-in-law Melissa. She is the one that thought I needed a blog to document some of the happenings of life w/ the Hillians. She does a great job, doesn't she?! I just do the posts and some of the pics.
