38 weeks 3 days Aidan Update

I had another follow up appt. NOTHING has changed! I am still 1cm 50%effaced. Supposedly Aidan's head has come down a little further:) ***TMI alert*** I did lose my mucous plug on Monday but that's not an indicator of labor or anything else for that matter:) I know that Nana was the one who voted for July 19th-July 23rd....still hoping that she wins:) If not there were six other people who voted between July 24th- July 28th, they maybe the winner???? We will see what curve ball Aidan tosses at us in the next couple of days. If I don't go into labor on my own by the morning of the 28th, I'm schedule for a c-section 9am @ Morton Plant Hospital. Wish me luck!
(Sorry no pics...kind of boring)

Aidan update

We are trying to get Ethan ready for the big arrival of his little brother Aidan. We are not to sure how he will respond??? We are thinking he will be jealous and cry alot for attention.We are hoping that they will one day sooner than later become best buds:)

For those of you who voted for Aidan's arrival July 29th or after...I am glad to say you will not be in the running. Not that there is a prize except of course the satisfaction of WINNING! If I don't go into labor on my own before Tuesday July 28th,I will be having a scheduled c-section at 9am that morning. Nobody guessed for before July 19th so I'm hoping that by some miracle he will decide to visit us by Sunday. I'm getting extremely uncomfortable and HUGE!

We will keep you updated as I continue to go to my weekly appointments. As for right now, I'm currently 1cm dilated and 50% effaced. For those of you who are not aware. This means I have 9 more BIG cm to go and 50% more to efface (cervix thin).

Did I mention that I hope that those of you who voted Aidan will be over 8lb are wrong??? LOL! I sure am hoping he will be smaller...for my selfishness.

Wish me luck!

19 Months and Patriotic

WOW! Our little boy is such a BIG boy now! He has a "fixed" hair cut. He celebrated his second 4th of July with his BIG boy friends. He's waiting to become a BIG brother:) It's amazing the things that he accomplishes. He is definitely a boys boy. He loves throwing balls, climbing on EVERYTHING, swinging bats and golf clubs. He also loves to play rough with his Daddy. We need to watch that or he may try to wrestle Aidan. (LOL) When he does something bad it's almost hard to reprimand him cause he give you a cute little smirk that makes your heart melt! Ethan also enjoys being around the water....any type! He is fearless of the Gulf and of pools. This is a good thing but a scary thing. We are looking into private lessons for him. I think once he learns how to swim he will be off like a fish.

Thanks to the DeLeeuw Family for having the kids Red, White and Blue party!!!

Ethan's 1st hack job....I mean hair cut!

After my doctors appt. I came home and made dinner. That's when my husband thought it'd be a GREAT idea to give his son his 1st haircut. No, my husband doesn't cut his own hair but for some reason he didn't think it would be that complicated to cut his 18 month old sons hair and do a good job! As my mother-in-law would say, "leave hair to the trained professionals." For some dumb reason I went along with it. I was thinking he was only going to "trim" the long pieces to match the length of the rest of his hair. Boy O Boy...I was WRONG!!!!

At first I found myself laughing...ok laughing so hard I had tears. Then, I found the tears coming out of frustration that my husband just HACKED my kids hair and he no longer looks like a baby but a BIG boy with a really bad hair cut:(
