AAHHHH!! Really can't believe I am only 6 days away from my due date! Honestly, where has the time gone! To sum things up since my last post, I finished teaching my class at Moraine. I'' be back in the fall, but only one class again, since the baby will be so little. I'm hoping to pick up 2 classes in the Spring, but if not, next year. Kenley officially graduated from pre-school, and Charlie completed his first year of pre-school! My mom,sister, and I took the kids to Shipshewanna again for our 3rd annual trip, and we had a great time! Kenley and Kayla were in their dance recital in the same show, and it was adorable! They both did a fantastic job! I hosted the 3rd annual BIG playdate, and it was really fun! I had about 15 moms and about 24 kids. We had a week in between before the summer activities started.Kenley had a 5 day sports camp, and the kids started swimming lessons this week.
In between all of that, I have been a little craaazy with nesting! For about the past month, I've been making lists, and doing my best to get everything done. By now, we have gotten all of the important stuff done like finishing the baby's room, installing car seats, washing the baby clothes, etc. But, it seems like every day I think of something else that I feel just has to get done. I know I take it a bit extreme, and I want everything to be "perfect" before the baby is born, but I've been trying to relax a little these last few days. I've been lucky that family members have really helped out with the kids, and I was able to get another massage, some errands done, and get a manicure/pedicure this week! So, I'll call it a success!!
I had a doctor's appointment last Tuesday, and everything was looking good. Baby is in position, and I have made a teeny bit of progress toward labor! As I was about to leave, my doctor told me that if I wanted to be induced anytime after 39 weeks I could. I decided to wait until at least this Tuesday, go to my next appointment and then make a decision. So, there is a very real chance this baby will be here by the end of the week! I am feeling a little conflicted about the decision to be induced. I had great experiences both times before, with on complications at all. I would love to have that experience of just going into labor, but then again, it would be nice to be able to have a set plan for us, the kids, and our family members who are just as anxious! So, I'm not quite sure what I'm going to do yet. I'm just hoping that I go into labor sometime before then!
Ray and I had our "last" date-might last night, and we finally tried a Latin restaurant by our house. It was so good! We were on only disappointed that all the spicy food did nothing to kick-start labor. These next few days, I'm going to just try to enjoy spending time with the kids. I'm hoping to stay at the pool one day after swim lessons. Next post will hopefully include our newest family member!!
