Update time...

Nothing like re-discovering your Halloween costume when you're under the weather!

Alright I've been sick. I had about 2 days of feeling good and now I have a sore throat, ear hurts, achy body, and sinus thingy. Needless to say, I am sick of being sick. All that said life must move forward especially with baby sharp 2 coming soon.
I had my doc appt on Monday and here is the 411. I am 1 centimeter dilated, 80% effaced and -1. I know the -1 deals with where the baby is positioned but I couldn't remember if the negative number was the higher and positive was lower or vise versa. I tried looking it up in my "What to Expect When Expecting" and I couldn't find it. Anyway, they don't think I will make it to my March 11th due date. I am a bit nervous b/c I was induced with Ryleigh so I am a bit of a newbie at labor just happening at home, in the grocery store or wherever. Also they don't think it will take me 10 hours (like it did with Ryleigh). I could have told them that. If this kid doesn't slide right out I will be shocked.
Ryleigh had her last gymnastic class on Tuesday. We opted not to sign her up for a 2nd session. She liked it but with baby #2 coming and not being allowed to bring baby 2 to class to sit in a car carrier seat there is no point. I suspect I will be putting Ryleigh into a gymnastics class this summer. I just need to investigate options.
In other news, Ryleigh moved to her big girl bed last night. She fell asleep without a hitch but woke up at 4:00 am. Our suspicion is that she was hunger (she had not had a good dinner) or the newspaper delivery woke her up. Either way, I attempted my best to get her to go back down but gave up at 5 and handed the torch to Glenn. He took her downstairs, fed her and she fell back to sleep till I woke her at 8 am (on the couch with Glenn). I was just thankful he was here because I really was not feeling well and had not slept much last night.
Also we had our Moms Day Out program today and I was able to sign Ryleigh and Baby #2 up for next fall!!!! This is fantastic news for me. I will have a break once a week to attempt to get some things done. Ryleigh will also start preschool in January 2009 for a young three's in Worthington. She will be a busy camper but I think it will be good for her.
So that is it. I've posted some pics (because I haven't posted any in forever!!!).


Ryleigh paying attention to Coach Mike (notice she's the only one sitting and listening). It cracks me up. She was like this for all the classes.

Big girl bed (yes the furniture still isn't here). We're working with what we have. The mattress and box spring came yesterday afternoon.

Zoo


It is a beautiful day and we decided to take Ryleigh to the zoo today. We went to the petting zoo and rode the train. We also showed dad Fluffy, the world's largest snake in captivity. She leaves the zoo at the end of October so if you're in the area you need to check her out. It was a great way to spend the early afternoon before Ryleigh's nap.


This month has been a busy one for us. After returning from Hilton Head Ryleigh started 'school'. At least that is what we're calling it. Mom's Day Out is a program run by a local church to serve the community. It focuses on socialization and nurturing, not academics. In another words, it is not a pre-school. However it is the perfect thing for someone like myself who needs a little break so I can go to the dentist or doctor or whatever.


This month also brings our announcement to all that we're expecting baby #2. It is an exciting time as we plan Ryleigh's Big Girl room (our spare room now) and keep her old room as the nursery. I must admit I am nervous as hell about adding a 2nd one. I finally feel as if I know what I am doing with Ryleigh and I am going to mix it up big time. What was I thinking?!?
