Light at the end of a LONG Tunnel!

Yesterday I saw my most favorite doctor (the one who delivered Anderson) and he told me he would try to get me scheduled for an induction on the 20th if I wanted. If I decided to I would get a confirmation phone call last night or this morning! Well, duh...I almost starting crying thinking that I would actually get him to deliver and said YES!!!!!!!!!! PLEASE!!!! Well, no phone call last night and not one by 11:30 this am... I'm too impatient so I called to see if anything had been done yet... Of course she is like yeah, you're all scheduled for 6:30 am on the 20th... Been nice if they would have let me know. Oh well, so if she doesn't come before next Wednesday she should be here sometime that afternoon!
I've been wrestling with the idea of getting induced since day one, but at this point I am sooooooo ready! I just want her in my arms and not in my belly any more! I hate to take all of the excitement out of not knowing when it's going to happen, but I'm TOOOOO much of a planner! One week left!!!!!

Update from Doctor!!!

I'm 3 cm now!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yipee!!! I guess it doesn't really mean anything though!!!!

Boom Boom

AKA Grayson is now our little "Boom Boom!" Ya know kinda like Barney and Betty Rubble's little guy "Bam Bam." He has been consistently saying the word "Boom" since the All star home run derby and every time he sees baseball on our TV (which is a lot) he starts saying "Boom." He is constantly carrying around one of his soft bats in the house and yesterday he swung it all day and every time he swings it he says "Boom".... It's usually two swings in a row.... "Boom, Boom!" I'm pretty sure he will be our little athelete! He is doing it as I type!

A Confession

Hello.. my name is Amy and I'm an ebay-aholoic!!!!

Seriously, I have been spending too much money on my little Aubree's wardrobe since the moment I found out she was a she. On top of that Anderson doesn't have too much to wear for the fall, so I have been getting him some stuff here and there as well. Poor Grayson doesn't get too much new stuff since he can wear all of Anderson's hand me downs!!! :) Anway, I started feeling guilty for all of the things that I have bought them and needed a way to make a few bucks! I started exploring ebay to see what "speciality" clothes were going for and decided to give it a shot. Let's just say now I am hooked!!! I have made $75 over the last two weeks by selling only 5 outfits!!! That's pretty good I think! I have gotten hooked too and have to check my ebay account about 7 times a day to see if I have any new watchers or bidders!!! I've kinda become obsessed! The most fun part is seeing people fight it out in the end and to see my profit go up, up, up!!! Last night I sold a orange smocked jon jon that I found for a steal for $20 last year. You are never going to believe that I sold it for $30!!!! I was TOOOOO excited! So I paid -$10 for it!!! Not too shabby!
I could get used to the making money thing!!!!

3 Week Countdown

Aubree is due 3 weeks from today!!!!! I am ready and she can come anytime she likes now, but I don't see her coming anytime soon! At my appointment yesterday I was 1 1/2 cm dialated and 30% effaced... so a little progress but not much! Sleeping, walking, and taking care of the boys is getting pretty difficiult now, but I know I am still sleeping better now than I will when I have a newborn. I'm just looking so forward to finally seeing her and holding her. Anderson says everyday that it is time for her to come out! I think he's pretty darn excited as well. Well, off to rest some while Grayson is napping!!! Trying to elevate my swollen feet and toes!

Deep Questions from Anderson

My little man is quite interested in how his sister is going to get out of my belly! He wasn't quite this inquisitive when I was about to have Grayson and I didn't have to explain anything to him. He knows she will be here soon. The other day he asked how she was going to get out... At almost 4 does he REALLY need to know every detail??? I tried to explain it as much as possible without going into too much detail and he was pretty content with my answer.. Then he thinks a little while longer and says, "Where is Aubree going to sit to eat?" I told him that she would only drink milk to start with and that mommy would hold her to do that... I just can't bring myself to tell him exactly where that milk is going to come from.... Oh.. the stories he will have to tell at preschool!!!!!!!!! Lovely!

*Oh yeah... Has anyone noticed that Aubree is about to wreck her little car into the finish line sign.......

Sweet Friends: What Would I Do Without Them??

My dear sweet friends suprised the socks off of me this morning as I strolled into playgroup late as usual with a cranky toddler and lots on my mind! There were beautiful pink, purple and green balloons everywhere!!!!!!!! How sweet of them to throw me a suprise baby shower!!!! I really had no clue.. maybe that is the way I walk around these days... having no clue! All 10 kids played really hard today and we ordered pizza and it was yummy. After the pizza I opened Aubree's gifts, which were greatly appreciated and then we all devoured the yummy pull apart cupcake cake with the cutest little baby on top!!! It was such a nice suprise and I am really grateful to have such wonderful friends who care so much about me and my little girl on the way!!! Thanks again Jenn, Stephanie, Nicola and Sarah!!!!!!!! Don't know what I would do without you gals.
*I don't have any pics since I didn't know about it. Stephanie took one of the cake so I will have to wait until she sends it to me..
