Corban was sick yesterday. I think he may have just been teething, but he had a little bit of a fever and diahrea all day long. Bless his heart, his little hiney was so red and raw by the end of the day. He's actually never had much of a diaper rash - we've probably only used cream on him about 20 times in his 16 months and we had lost his butt paste, so Johnny had to run out last night and get some. Then, he decided to wake up at 1:30 and not go back to sleep. I finally laid down in the big bed with him and I know we saw 4 am before he was completely asleep. Usually I don't sleep with him, but between him not feeling well and me knowing that these are the last few days we've got alone with him, I couldn't resist. He's feeling much better today though, and I think Diana and Nadine are going to come get him for a while this afternoon. I'm going to clean my floors and take a nap :)

Now it's just two days until D(delivery)-Day!

I can already hardly remember this weekend. I know that Saturday I had a hard time because I was feeling nauseous most of the day and Corban was being very obstinate. I just didn't have the emotional strength to deal with it. Thank goodness Johnny was around! Yesterday was nice though. We did church, had a good crowd, and Johnny didn't have any meetings afterward! We all came home and had lunch and took naps. Then yesterday afternoon we went to the mall because Johnny needed some new tennis shoes. It was getting close to closing time so when we stopped at the play area for Corban he almost had the place to himself. After that we went out to eat again - TGI Friday's and came home and played outside for a while. Corban always wants to get in his "bath" when we're outside, so that can be a little difficult when we don't want to deal with it. Last night goign to sleep I thought I had an alien baby - he was being so active and it wasn't in just one place, he was all over my belly. It was fun watching Johnny just watch my stomach and seeing how Caden was making it roll - but talk about nauseous! I'm still hoping that I go into labor any minute now, but I guess Thursday morning is D Day!

The End is Near!

I went to the doctor today - for the last time! I'm somewhere between 3 and 4 cm, which is not nearly as far along as I was with Corban by this time, but oh well. I have an induction set up for next Thursday morning at 7 if things don't happen naturally by then. Johnny is getting very anxious about it, but I've pretty much resigned myself to another induction. I would rather go into labor naturally, but I think I need to not be pregnant more than I need to do it "naturally." Watch my water break tonight though - and all of our babysitters are out of town! Corban and Johnny are outside playing, I'm exhausted because after Johnny and I went to the doctor's we did a hospital tour and ran a few errands, picked Corban up, and went to Johnny Carino's for dinner. We figured this was one of the last opportunities we were going to have to eat out for a while, so we thought we would enjoy it. Johnny has a full day tomorrow so I'm hoping that I can rest quite a bit.

Yesterday was nice. We went to see Brody Fitzroy - he's beautiful. They had been telling Kim that he was going to be at least 8 maybe 9 pounds, but he ended up being just 6 lbs, 7 ounces. It's kind of a neat story because Jim didn't get in from Korea until about 2 am Monday morning and her water broke at 4 am and the baby was born at 5 pm on Monday. God's hand was definitely in that - and now Jim has every day of his 3 week leave to spend with his son!

Corban was excellent all day yesterday, he was such a pleasant boy during the trip to the hospital and we played when we got home and even after Johnny left he was in the best mood. He even fell asleep sitting on my lap watching TV last night - he hasn't done that forever. Since Johnny was gone last night I did my nails and caught up on some internet stuff. Today Corban took a 3 hour nap (I had a 2 hour one), we all had lunch, and then Diana came to pick up Corban and take him back to her house for a while. I've gotten my dishes washed, kitchen floor cleaned, the carpets vacuumed, and I'm going to go put the clothes away in my bedroom. For some reason I feel so much more able to get stuff done when he's completely out of the house rather than when he's just napping. Today is John's birthday - wouldn't it be awesome if Caden shared his G-Pa's birthday!

Yesterday was pretty nice. Johnny got Cameron to the airport then had to go back to the hospital to visit a lady who was having surgery. Corban and I played around the house but he didn't take a nap until 2 in the afternoon. After that we had to go get groceries. It's kind of a pain now b/c I like to be the one to get the groceries, but I can't do it by myself anymore and I definitely can't do it by myself with Corban, so all 3 of us have to go. Oh well, we got it done and hopefully won't have to make a big run for a while. We had a WONDERFUL dinner last night. We bought some potrabella mushrooms and zuchini and grilled those and some chicken breasts and then had a packet of cheddar and broccoli rice to go along with it. Yummy! We were saying last night we enjoy our healthiest meals the most, but don't spend the money or take the time to eat like that as much as we should.

Kim Fitzroy had her baby yesterday! I just got the voicemail this morning, so we're probably going to try to head to the hospital after Corban wakes up and we all eat lunch. Jim got in Sunday night at midnight, so he was there for the birth. God had to be in the timing for that! Johnny's making meatloaf tonight and is going to go see that new Batman movie with Luke afterward. I'm just hoping that Corban stays in a good mood while Johnny is gone - I depend on him so much to deal with that little boy. Everyone who watches him always comments on how active he is and how exhausting it must be for me - in case you were wondering, it is! Anyway, I'm praying to go into labor VERY soon, so if you wanna help me out - a few extra prayers never hurt!

Yesterday was pretty wonderful. Corban and I both napped in the morning, I got the bulletin done and Johnny finished the sermon and then we went to Don and Bonnie's to get in the pool. We spent 2 hours in the pool, at least one of which I was laying on a raft in my own little corner. I let everyone else watch Corban and didn't even try to socialize - it was wonderful! The water is a huge help with the weight of the belly. I told Bonnie I would probably find my way over every day this week if I haven't managed to have a baby yet. Then Don and Bonnie even fed us dinner! Corban LOVES corn on the cob we have discovered. He was taking bites off of mine, then we gave him half an ear for himself and he cleaned it off and was begging for more. Johnny gave him about half of the ear he had been working on himself and Corban ate all of that and wanted more too! Plus he had eaten a hot dog and a lot of baked beans. I love it when he eats good like that.

Right now Corban is down for a nap and Johnny is in a meeting at church. We're probably going to lay down for a nap until Corban wakes up and Craig and Diana are having us over for dinner tonight. We haven't had to cook a weekend meal for a few weeks now and it's great! Cameron comes in later tonight so that Johnny can take him to the airport tomorrow morning and I'm praying every waking moment that I'm going to be going to the hospital soon!

Did I mention that today is my original due date?
