Final Countdown

Well, I am hoping that this is the final countdown, that we are in the "home stretch". Had my 38 week check up today with my Dr. All looks and sounds great, BUT He won't/can't induce me till I am 39 weeks. GRRRR!! That means, 1 more whole week of being fat and miserable! Poo on St Joe's!! Darn it, if they weren't the best hospital ( in my opinion) then darn it I would have this kid somewhere else! But as it was pointed out to me, then I would not get the private room that I am looking forward too. Yeah Me!! That means that Sam gets/has too stay the night with me. He is going to at least the 1st night that we are there. I really need him, and his help the 1st 24 hours. So, here's hoping and praying that we are able to induce next week, and that we have a baby soon! I am trying to be optimistic, but these hormones are just killing me!! ( I think the rest of my family would agree that the "hormones" are killing them too!!)

Why I love my Hubby

So this actually started as a thread on BBC, and well I think that it's pretty great! So I wanted to share, I even emailed a copy to Sam just to say " I Love You".




So why I love my DH...
1. He loves me, and puts up with me and all my craziness! Now that is *true love*
2. He is the hardest worker that I know.
3. He thinks I'm *hot* even at 9 mo preggo with baby #5, and He loves his kids not matter what. There is nothing that can't be overcome by telling them you love them.
4. He can always make me laugh, and he is always willing to listen to me cry/scream/vent about whatever whenever I need.He always has time for me.
5. He let's me work on his car, and doesn't get *mad* when I do something wrong, or something breaks. He takes the time to show me what and how to do the job the right way.

Drama, Drama, Drama

Well, we found out that Molly doesn't qualify for services at this time, But after talking to our Ped about it, I think that I will wait till she turns 2, and request that she be "re-evaled". I had this feeling like that was going to happen, although we are going to go ahead and get her hearing tested just in case, because we are concerned about her speech. She has a vocabulary, and it's sorta growing but it's not all that clear what she is saying. And she gets REALLY REALLY frustrated when you don't know what the heck she is after.

Speaking of Miss Molly, it's going to be so much fun when this baby comes, talk about the Queen being "de-throned"!! That is exactly what she thinks is about to happen, jealous much are we? Yup!! But on the brighter side of things she went in to the Dr for her 18mo well check,m and she is doing great!! She is 26lbs and 15oz. and 33"tall. That puts her in the 90th percentile for her height and 75th for her weight. Holy Heck!! I mean that is HUGE!! I think that her and Caleb are going to be the "biggest" of all the kids, well we will just have to see what happens with Delilah.

So on to the rest, Stephen had his "Patriotic Program" today, it was so cute! All the 1st graders sung songs about the USA. I will have to post the videos that we took, Meghan,Caleb, and Molly thoroughly enjoyed the performance as well. I know that the kids are super excited that school is almost out.

Meghan is looking forward to her very 1st camp out with the YMCA Indian Princess's. She is going with Dad Meredith and Kaylie,But in the fall her and Sam will be doing it together. I think that this will give them some nice "Daddy/Daughter" time. Meghan is also thrilled that she starts her 1st dance class in a week, something to keep her occupied this summer! Yeah me! Another appointment to keep!! But in all seriousness, I am glad that the kids are going to have stuff to keep them busy this summer, I know that they were worried that with Mom having the baby so soon their summer was going to stink! Stephen is going to do a "Thursday park day" with a few of his friends, he is so excited. He doesn't start until 7/10 but that's okay, it gives him a bit of a break. While Meghan starts her class on the 18th of this month!

Sam is in summer school, so that is a bit of a drag, but I am looking forward to the 2 weeks he is planning on taking off "work" when the baby comes. Then HE will be the one running the kids all over creation and not me for a change! Then we both will be in school in the fall. Crazy I know huh?? But I am only going to take 2 classes and they are both online so that should be kind of fun! Caleb starts summer school, the 24th. He is so m=bummed that he is "done" with school, I am not sure that he can handle a week off! He really thrives on going, he loves it! But I know that he will do great when it starts back up again. And then Soccer starts in Aug. We have both boys playing this year, so that should be fun! It's going to be crazy trying to get to point A and then to point B with 5 kids, but I am always up for an adventure!

Little Miss Molly

Well, Molly had her eval on Wed last week, yes the day from H***! It went really well. The girls who did her eval were really nice, but there was not alot that they could do because of her age. I think that I am going to have to get re-eval(ed) when she turns 2. But we did determine that she has some speech issues, so they are going to recommend speech therapy for her. I am hoping that it's as simple as that. I would just love for speech to solve all the other "issues" that we are experiencing.

I am hoping that with Delilah getting into OCKIDS, that I will be able to get Molly in as well, and I still have not heard about Caleb and his referral either. I did call today and leave a msg about it with the Peds office, but with them you just never know! I guess if all else fails, I will just have to ask when I take Molly in for her 18mo well check. That's just crazy to me! She is almost 18mos, and we will be having Delilah so soon after! Well, we should hopefully be hearing fromOCkids about the baby soon. They are doing a study and would like to include her, so it should be intersting. They will follow her from birth, to see if she shows signs of things like Autism before age 2. Here's hoping for the best!

Update Numero Dose!

Well, we heard back from the Dr., everything looks GREAT!! They are going to keep a close eye on her heartrate and all from now on, but they said that mys strip from my NST looked normal. Yeah! That is a HUGE relief, and load off my shoulders. They Did say taht I should mention it to my Ped, just so it's on record when she is born. I know that we had a echo done in the hosiptal when we had Molly, so I am sure that Delilah won't be any different! So now we head into the final stretch, we have our last of the "2 week" visits on the 12th, and then we go EVERY week. Now that is going to be fun! The kids out of school, Caleb's speech, my Dr. appts...Sam is going to be very busy!!
