6 days late and counting...

the library was fun. i was running a little behind so we only had about 20 minutes to hang out there before we had to go meet colleen. we had so many books to return (lots of preschool books!) that we pulled our dora rolling backpack, and this big girl got to pull it on the way out.
so grown up!

they were w.i.l.d. at colleen's house! i guess i forgot how fun it is to run around a new house.  i was so embarrassed and then i started to feel bad cause they really haven't been able to get much energy out lately. so we texted sarah and mindy and made some plans. :) 

then franks took a nap and woke up with awesome hair!

monday afternoon started off rough, but ended nicely.

alexis even talked to me about some boy problems and seemed to listen when i responded.

it was like having my old lu back, only a more grown-up, mature version. it was awesome!

we have a book that we write notes back and forth to eachother in, so before bed i hurried and wrote her a note letting her know how much i enjoyed our talk, and that i hope my advice wasn't too "mom." for her. i hope this new lu sticks around for awhile!!!

on tuesday we had plans to meet up with sarah and abby at our winter play spot - mcdonalds.

franks always helps me get ready.

we planned to play until 12, which was made easier because addie came to me about 5 till 12 and informed me that she was sorry, but she had pee'd her pants and could i change her please.

i know accidents happen, but seriously?! she's 3 1/2! we cleaned up her mess and were on our way home. lucky for her, daddy had packed a clean pair of unders for her in our diaper bag so she didn't have to wear a diaper on the way home. :)

i went to the ob at 2:30 for the overdue pregnancy workup.

sonogram that showed babies fluid is good.

i forgot to ask her to measure the baby to see how big she is though.

then the kick count.

if you've never been late in pregnancy, (cause your not lucky like me!) it's where you get hooked up to a fetal heart rate monitor for 20 minutes and then you press a game show like button each time the baby kicks.

everything looks good and we are clear for another week.

and no more dilation, just a little bit more effacement.

yay.

after naps, i convinced alexis to go for a walk with me. it had been a beautiful day, even though when we left it was already cooling down. we power walked a little bit, which is very uncomfortable when you are hugely pregnant. i was trying to do a repeat of frankie's birth.

i went to the dr. and got an exam (check), went for a power walk (check), felt crampy all evening (check), contractions started at midnight and she was born at 5. nothing.

and part of me really thought that was gonna work again. :(

park fun!

i had put drumsticks in the crockpot, so we ate dinner as soon as matt got home, and lex and i were off to wrestling. the only other wrestling match i've been to lasted less than an hour and i was hoping for a repeat of that. this one lasted 2 1/2!!!

but lexi had found me a chair with a back and i got to sit and chat with her coach, so it was okay. 

today we're off for another playdate with mindy and izzy. trying to stay busy, busy, busy!

and just for good measure, franks says

"what chu talkin' 'bout, willis?"
