more news

so, I went to the doctor on friday and when the student doctor measured my stomache (uterus) she said she put me at 33 weeks. (no, I'm not supposed to be at 33 weeks, I'm due on March 10th) Which is what I told her. She proceeds to check my records and mentions that according to the sonogram I had a couple weeks ago, they say my due date is February 7th. Umm...okay? So the doctor come in and measures me again (just to be sure) and says I measure at 34 weeks. She proceeds to tell me we will stick to the february due date, and if Ethan hasn't come by then, we will wait it out. Great! I have a due date expectancy that ranges a couple weeks before February 7th (you know, if he comes earlier than his new due date) until a couple weeks after March 10th (in case he comes a little late of his old due date!). That, folks, is too wide of an opening. It's not fair. Not to say I'm complaining about them knocking off a month of my pregnancy. By all means, go ahead! But I would like a little more certainty.

In any case. He will be here some time. And he will be here a little earlier than expected, or he will be a 10 pound giant (which wouldn't be a big surprise with m's birth weight being 9 1/2 lbs)

Perhaps you have a line backer on your hands (er ... in your stomach?)

Later! I can't come until the end of March and I want to squeeze him when he's little. Well, as little as he'll ever be...

Stranger Danger

Ok. So, we've talked to M about strangers a bit, telling her to be safe and what not. A couple of times she brings it up when we say no she can't do something and she says "because there are stangers?" or some such. We haven't talked about it recently, but apparently the message stuck: We were at Wal-Mart, had just finised checking out and J went to use the restroom and M wanted to get a drink from the water fountain -I was still a few steps behind, so M said "Mom will you come a little bit closer?" and I said yes, and she continued "because you wouldn't want a stranger to grab me." I smiled and said "No I wouldn't like that." And she said "You would say 'oh no! someone has taken my child!" At which point I couldn't help but laugh and tell her how much I loved her.

End of the week

This week has been lots of fun. J's mom, step-dad, sister and nephew all came to stay with us for the week. We've had a lot of fun visiting, playing games, and swimming. I'm so glad they came to visit us, aaallll the way from Idaho! We're lucky they had the time and all came! They are leaving in the morning because his step-dad has to work sunday afternoon! Crazy wonderful people. On another note, tomorrow J and I will have been married 3 years. I can hardly believe it's been three years....absolutely wonderful. I have never made a better decision in my life!

bribe

We had a fun weekend - we went to the zoo which was having family fun day, and then we went to the dog show (both of which were free). Then on Sunday we went to Greg & Robin's to see their new puppies, and they are stinkin' cute! And Greg BBQ'ed for us - yummy! At one point, while we were hanging out at their house, Robin sat down on the couch and asked M if she was gonna come sit by her, and M said: "I will sit by you if you get me a drink of water." (as she was climbing up on the couch next to her). And this would be the first time I have heard her use a bribe (and certainly not the last) - I told her maybe she should ask instead and she got embarassed.
