36 week ob appt

I went to the ob last night and everything looks great. I am 1 cm dilated and 50% effaced. I had told Guy before we got there if I wasn't dialted I was probably going to start crying. I know it is silly, but after my experience with not dilating with Abby I was a little nervous. I have another check at 38 weeks and if I am dilated more I am going to get induced at 39 weeks. I am hoping that walking two miles everyday will help get things started. I can't believe my sweet baby jack could be here in three weeks...or earlier. I feel like I have everything ready. Guy keeps telling me to chill out that all I need is a bed, diapers, and stuff to feed him. I am really scared about the sleep issue. I hope he is healthyand happy.... and it would also be nice if he slept a little more than Abby.

1st Day of school

Abby had her first day of school last Tuesday. She had a blast! When I picked her up she ran to the door to show me her name tag. On the way home I asked her what she did and she said fun. Later in the car ride she told me her teacher had told her no for climbing on the fence. She also told me she got mad at a little girl about a toy. At least she told me what happened. She made a lamb out of cotton and a white paper bag...had to do with mary had a little lamb. I was really sad to drop her off, but really enjoyed my three hours of quiet. She takes a nap around 1230, so she came right home and crashed until 230. I was so proud of her for being brave and not getting upset when I dropped her off.

The Outer Banks

Guy, Abby, and I went to the outer banks last Saturday for a week. We stayed on the 4x4 beach in Carova. We had to drive in the sand for about 30 minutes to get to our house. All I am going to say about that is it was interesting. Guy told me if i went into labor at 3 am i was on my own. We had the best weather lots of sun with very few clouds. Abby had a blast!!! She only complained when she was hungry or getting really tired. We went on walks, played in the sand, dug for shells, and ran in the ocean until we dropped. Abby told the sun goodnight each night and told it hello every morning. She loved to chase the seagulls...poor things. We left on Friday because ofthe tropical storm. We all had a great quiet vacation!!

Playing on the beach

If you can't tell by the pictures Abby had a blast at the beach. She would play in the morning for about 2 and 1/2 hours and the same in the afternoon. She loved everything and played until she dropped. She slept and ate really well while we were there. She was so much fun to watch and hang out with.

Flying her kite

The butterfly was all wet and couldn't fly, so we helped him dry out on our chair.

On our way to the beach

The pool

We had a pool at the house we rented. abby loved to swim with daddy.

Horses at the beach

There are wild horses on this part of the outer banks. They came during lunch on Sunday and hung out in front of our house for a while. Abby was shaking she was so excited. It was very cool!
