baby update....

or i guess i should say "no baby" update! ya..... he's still not here and it is really annoying! i have been dilated to a 3 for like a week and half and as of today i am at a 4. i had them strip my membranes today to see if we can this going! this baby just does not want to come out! i have tried almost everything to start labor. i have been weeding the whole yard (its a big yard and there were a lot of weeds), taking the kids for walks in a stroller with flat tires, jumping on the trampoline, helping mike carry the new rocking chair upstairs, taking out all the plants in the garden and getting it ready for the winter vegetables, carrying the kids while running up and down the stairs, plus a few that i wont mention. if after doing all that and i still havent gone into labor, then i dont know what will work. i guess we will just have to wait.
can i just complain for a minute? it hurts soooo bad to do anything at this point. i feel like i am so old because it takes me so long to walk anywhere because of all the pressure and my hips hurts like crazy! not to mention my humongous swollen feet and legs that hurt. i have very little patience these days, so when addy decides to whine and cry and hang on my legs pretty much from the time she wakes up until she takes her nap(this happens EVERY day!) i get very close to losing it. i feel bad, but it is hard when you are doing this every day by yourself. ok, i think i am done.
on the bright side, we finally got the baby's room painted so now all i have to do is get addy out of there and into rylee's room. i dont know how soon that will happen though. i am afraid to put them in the same room because they will not sleep. i know i am going to just have to do it suffer through the sleepless nights for awhile until they can get used to it. i finally found a glider/rocker that i love!!! it is what i have been looking for pretty much since i had rylee. it is from babies r us and they just barely got it! i love it!!! it is so soft and comfortable and it is the perfect chocolate brown chenille fabric! i cant believe i have had 2 babies without one of these things!
ok, so wish me luck that we can have this baby soon!!!! and, no, we dont have a name picked out yet..... any suggestions???

I definitely admire you. All your children so close together and you seem to hold it together so well. I hope you have him soon and that all goes well.

I miss seeing you around at church.
