This past week

My mom ended up going into the hospital on Friday afternoon last week. So even though I had pre-registered on Thursday and didn't think I'd be at the hospital again for awhile, I was there on Saturday visiting her. My dad stayed in the lobby with the kids while Mom and I visited. That was so nice of him. I think it tested all of his loving grandpa-ness. On the way home, Jenelle told me a man said, "This is not a jungle-gym." That makes me proud. Here's a picture of them.
In preparation for the baby, I have washed 2 girl outfits and 2 boy outfits. I have no where else to put them yet, so I draped them on the top of the loveseat. It's fun to see them and know that soon we'll meet whomever is to wear them. My doctor wouldn't mind if the baby came early and neither would we. She has decided that I need to have the baby's heart/movement monitored twice a week. Yesterday was my first time. Mike's mom came to watch the kids so I could have the monitoring done, my regular appt and she also allowed me to grocery shop before I came home. Mom taught Jenelle how to play dominoes while I was gone. We played this morning already. Thank you, Mom, for bailing me out and for loving the kids!

The baby showed good movement and my doctor said I'm already 2 cm dilated. That's exciting. God knows. That's the best part!
