36 weeks

We had our first examination today to see how far I have progressed. I just knew Dr. Cole was going to tell me that I was about 1/2 a cm dilated and 50% effaced (especially being 4 weeks still from my due date.) I guess I was trying to prepare myself just incase I hadn't done anything. Before my exam, we talked to her about inducing before December 1st because we found out that our insurance is changing. (Out of all things!) After the exam, she said I was 2 cm and already 80% effaced. I was shocked! I am where I was when I went in to have Jon Harris. I had Jon Harris in 4 hours. This makes me a little nervous:) I know I could stay where I am for the next couple of weeks but it is scary to think that he could come any day now. I still have a few things to do..... like PACK! I haven't packed the slightest thing. Sarah, I promise I am getting on it tomorrow. I go back next Wednesday at 1:00. She said if I have progressed anymore that she was going to put me in and induce for "advanced cervical dilation." I guess we will see soon!

Miley Cyrus Concert

Wednesday night, We took Jon Harris to the Miley Cyrus concert. JH was so excited! I think he was overwhelmed by all the noise but he loved "Rockin Out." We had a blast! She put on a really great show but she only did 2 songs from the "Hannah Montana Movie". I could tell that Miley is definetly transitioning from the child/preteen Hannah Montana to a more mature audience! The concert was almost too old for Jon Harris. I guess she does have to grow up. It's sad because Jon Harris loves watching the show. Who knows- she has a little sister that might be "the next big thing."

Fall Break

We spent fall break in Missouri at Big Cedar lodge. It was great! I highly recommend this resort! We really want to take a vacation there during the summer. Big Cedar has a ton of cool things to do outdoors! Hikes, horseback riding, fishing, paddle boats, swimming pools with a lazy river, boat rentals, and etc...Unfortunetly, the weather did not cooperate very well. -We still had a good time though! Our last day we did get to take a boat out on the lake. It was beautiful! We saw several skunks. Bo and Jon Harris walked up on one of them. I am so glad they weren't sprayed! LOL!

FUN FALL DAY!!!

We had a great day today! This morning we went to the Zoo to see the new Teton Trek. It is a wonderful addition to our Zoo! We loved watching the new Grizzly cubs playing in the water. The wolves were neat to see, too. I would love to hear them howl.

After we left the zoo, we went to Savannah's brother's (Tucker) birthday party. The party was at Priddy's pumpkin patch. It was so cool! We had the best time! The kids went on a hayride, picked out a pumpkin, played on the playground, rode on a train, and made a scarecrow to take home. Jon Harris did not want to leave! We have our pumpkin and scarecrow by our front door- It looks so cute!

Kids- Ya never know!!!

I picked up Jon Harris from school yesterday (like usual.) I told him that tomorrow was his teacher's birthday. I also told him that we needed to get her a present. We talked about it for a few minutes. I suggested a gift card for a manicure because what woman would not like some "me" time. Jon Harris paused a moment and said.... "Well, she has been talking about losing some weight... so, why don't we get her one of those gift card things to that WeightWatcher's place?" I cracked up- I couldn't believe he said what I had just heard. Bless his heart- He could NOT understand why I was laughing at him. I had to explain to him that you NEVER get a woman a gift that has to do with her weight or age! I hope it was a lesson learned (for future purposes.) :)

Nursery Progress

Mrs. Mary Gaither did Nash's picture. We LOVE it! She is so so AWESOME!

We are just waiting on our rocker and changing table to get here. Can't wait!!!

8 week count down

Well, it has started! We have started going to the doctor every 2 weeks now. The time is flying by so fast. October will be over before we know it. It seems that we have something every weekend in October. We are going out of town next week, we have 3 birthday parties this weekend (we were supposed to camp out at the zoo friday night but the zoo called it off), we have Mylie Cyrus concert, and Nash's baby shower ( to name just a few things that are happening.) Fun!! I love Fall!

Jon Harris is getting very excited about Nash! We signed him up for the "Big Brother" class at Methodist Germantown. They have a class for 2-6 years old and 7- 12 years old. He is going to the 7- 12 years old class. I hope it goes well. It sounds like it'll be fun! They have a birthday party for the baby, show them how to change a diaper:), and take them on a tour of the hospital. The only thing I worry about is the video they show of the birth. It is not supposed to be graphic but still..... He already has lots of questions ( like "How is he coming out?")! I have said before that he is a very SMART kid- I have to give him a logical answer. Besides, I'd rather be honest with him. I have been praying that God gives me the right words to say! ( and he will!)

My last doctor's appointment went well. They did an ultrasound and my placenta has moved out of the way- thank goodness! Nash seemed to be doing great! He has definetly grown since we saw him at 18 weeks. I can't wait to see his sweet face! -I am definetly getting bigger... Fun fun. So far, I feel great. I know those days will soon come to an end. ( I hope not) I am now feeling hiccups and LOTS of movement especially when I lay down for the night.
