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.

Update...

Oh boy Oh boy... it's been fun. The rest of the day was lazy yesterday and I got her down before 9 pm. I got myself to bed early too (right after the Super Bowl - GO GIANTS!!!! - sorry Mer had to put that in).
About 12:30 am I heard Ryleigh crying. I went in.... and was hit with the smell and her coughing. I realized she got sick so I grabbed her to throw her over the toilet. I got her cleaned up and changed and into my bed while I assessed the situation in her crib. OH MY that was gross and we're down a feather pillow (unless someone has thoughts on how I can get that clean).
The cleanup took some time (Glenn left yesterday morning so no reinforcements). Before it was complete she started again... nothing got on my bed (the very important thing!). I cleaned her up and then slipped her into her crib after she calmed down. Then we had one small dry heave. Got that taken care of, her relaxed again and back in the crib. All was done by 2:45. Afterward I laid and prayed. I prayed that the smell of strawberry yogurt wouldn't make me sick, the Ry wouldn't get sick again so I could get some sleep... you know selfish things that God would surely respond to ASAP. I would like to report he did. Ryleigh slept through the night and I didn't get sick and actually slept till 7:30!
Made a doc appointment for all of those wondering. Won't be till this afternoon during her nap (yup, get to get her up). I stretched the truth to get her in... I said she was poking her ears so I was concerned about an ear infection (which she has done a little but I am not all that worried about it). Girls got to do what a girls got to do though. Whatever little bug Ry has she is having a hard time fighting it. I am a very pregnant woman who needs some reassurance since the DH is out of town (big shock!). Hopefully it's nothing much. My mom is on her way this morning to help me. At least I can shower and attempt to clean some more. Okay rambling...

Rant #1056

Okay, I haven't had that many rants on this blog but it feels like it at times. The latest and greatest... Ryleigh's sleeping (or lack there of). Glenn and I went out to dinner last night, had a nice time (wife's name is Carly - see entry below). Went to bed just before midnight. I woke up at 1 am to pee (love pregnancy) and woke up again at 2:20 am to Ryleigh SCREAMING!!!
She's been doing this lately so I just bring her to bed with me and go back to sleep. Well, not last night. Needless to say she and I were downstairs at about 4:30 am watching a Mickey Mouse Clubhouse video. I feel asleep at some point and so did she. I woke up at 7:30 and traded with Glenn (I needed to sleep in a bed). I hope tonight isn't the same. I can't take her getting up anymore. I am expecting this from the new one in 4 weeks but not now.

UPDATE (posted 9:13 am Sunday): I was awake from 2:20 am till 5 am.
