Another Doctor Appointment

I guess I'm about 36 and half weeks along. Every thing seems to be going along normal. Had an exam yesterday and I'm dilated at 2 and soft. I know one can stay at the low number for a long time before more happens so it is not like I'm going to have a baby this weekend. My folks can't come till after the 9th and Dan wants to finish the job he is on (which is having delays). I was only 2 when I was admitted to the hospital with Joseph. Of course they were getting ready to send me back home when Josephs blood pressure/heart rate took a dive. They decided with only two more days till due date they went ahead and got me going.
The doctor did mention inducing labor. He said they won't induce before 39 weeks and wouldn't do it if it was my first. I think he is thinking of Josephs size and the second one maybe being bigger. Any way.......... I kind of like the idea of having the baby a week earlier. We'll see...........

My doctor probably thinks I'm a ding bat. When he asked me if we had talked about inducing which I guess he said induction........... I thought he said abduction. I must have looked pretty blank and said no. Then I got brave and asked him what abduction was.............. he laughed and said that was when aliens kidnapped you. I said no we haven't discussed that................ mercy... me and my hearing...........

After meeting pictures.............

Dan decided to try at getting some pictures
after we got home from meeting

So here is some more shots........................

Maybe one good one..............

or too cute................

Oh maybe that one isn't too bad........

Or................ I give up


Wonder what it will be like taking pictures
of two.................

Pictures before going to meeting

I tried to take some pictures before we went

to meeting this past Sunday.

Here are the results............ almost reminds
me of Calvin but not as ugly as Calvin (spoken
like a parent)

He looked fine when I was pushing the
button on the camera................

but then he changes before there taken he
changes his expression or whatever

Can't he just give me one good one.............

Joseph doing his first sleepover

Joseph had his first sleepover..................

In other words....... his first night away from us.

He stayed with Brian and Heather and he seem to do fine. I was a once or twice in the night and almost went to check on him....... but we did fine too.

He want to see how it went before the baby came. Don't know when she will decide to come and my folks may not be here at that exact time......... if she comes earlier than the 19th (of Feb)

More Pregnancy Pictures..........

Just a few more pregnancy pictures................

Joseph seems to like getting his picture taken too..................

not only does he repeat verbally but also in other ways................

Not much here.............

I think this is one of the first pictures we've taken during
this pregnancy. I have heard that with the second child
that one doesn't take as many pictures.......... guess that
may go for the pregnancy part too.

Now I'm trying to figure if I am about the same size

with Joseph.............. smaller or bigger. I feel smaller

yet I feel more miserable but I guess I look about the

same. I'll have to put pictures side by side to compare

but I wouldn't be wearing the same clothes..... different
season.

Joseph went outside to shovel the snow today. He wasn't

out long because I think he slipped on some ice and fell.

Dan was working in his van and heard something go

thump. He found Joseph on his back and crying. It was

15 out and breezy but sunny............. still too cold for me.

I wasn't out long at all.

Below is a video of Joseph doing some shoveling.

Happy Birthday Glenda.......................

Happy Birthday to my sister Glenda....................... you are for sure into the 50's now. Last year you were just in the door............... SMILE


Also happy birthday to my nephew Eric Loesch............ next week
Also happy birthday to Swonger nephews Cuyler and Caleb at the end of the month

I need to check my calander to see if there are more family members this month.........

Happy New Year..............

Best wishes to you all for the year of 2010.................. crazy to start it out so tired after staying up to see it in.............. Traditions.................... I always like to see in the new year in ........ it doesn't look much different though.

I'll post a few pictures from the past week................

I tried to put the pictures from oldest to newest but........... the first two are the newest, like this

morning...........

Charles and Jason before leaving this morning

Joseph wanting to get into the pictures........... and yes he is still
in his pj's.

Kristi saw these pj's the other week and thought of Joseph. They are
Doctor Suese...... Thing One and Thing Two

I think he like to get his picture taken or really just acting silly

Jennifer........... our winter meeting visitor

The newlyweds............... Terry and Sarah Ault
They were married on Wednesday 30th and their reception
was yesterday 31st in the afternoon.

The Ault and Lester family............

We went to a nice get together for New Year's Eve

Great bunch of folks and good food.................. nice combination

Music from those who would share it with us............
Some singing too.........................

Lots of children............. well in comparison to some places I've
been in.

A sideways picture.................. Joseph has really warmed up to people
and other children in the past year........... maybe a bit too talkative........

Lazy me!! I found me a seat and stuck with it much of the

evening..................... my goal last night and in the coming

weeks is to be comfortable................
