Another week down and no progress - No Whammies, No Whammies, No Whammies - STOP - so I'm still 50% and 1cm... oh well - in all reality  - I don't have to make progress to go into labor - but it would be nice to know this cramping and pain is leading somewhere!

Plus I'm 37 weeks and like 3 days or whatever - so I do have some time left - not a lot - but some time - I told Chris I'll wait nicely until after memorial weekend - then let's get a move on things!

Things are good - nothing too exciting to report - Kendall is doing great - Christina and her went home on Friday and I guess she is doing great - a little pooping machine!

I really don't have anything to report here - everyone be thinking progress, let's make some progress...

Sorry - no new baby from Christina yet - we are all waiting... Poor Christina, she is miserable. Let's hope she goes soon! Sally, her mom, comes in Wednesday - so maybe that will kick start the labor! Either that or spicy Mings - hey it worked last time...

Went to the doctor today and I'm 1 cm dialated and 50% efaced - yeah! Moving right along! The doctor and I were talking about that Christina and I could be very close together - Christina could go past her due date - sorry Christina - and I could go early - sorry - I have to say I like the going early part! (Sorry - we have the same doctor - I think I have said that before - maybe not). The exam, honestly, wasn't bad at all - thank god!

My next appointment is next week - let's all keep our fingers crossed for more progress!

Chris and I completed the baptism class for church - so now we just have to pick a date and we can get GIPette baptized anytime. The class was just fine - I like this church - WAY better than the other church. Also - the baptisms don't take place during the regular Mass - which is very nice - I don't have to force our relatives to sit through a whole service.

Mother's day was fun - Chris got me a mom-to-be motivational present. He gave me a nice diamond necklace - jackpot! I wasn't expecting anything - so that is cool - I just happened to mention awhile back that Matt gave Christina a very very nice necklace at the hospital when Blake was born - so ladies out there - it doesn't EVER hurt to drop a hit or two! hehe

So each night we have been getting items done - like last night, we finished washing and gathering everything for the hospital bag, we did a huge load of baby items - those little socks just get stuck everywhere - and then we took pictures of the boys for the baby room. I think the pictures turned out nice - they are both matted with colors and in white frames - the room seems complete with the pictures of the big brothers.

We are still waiting for Christina to go - Chris swears its today - I hope so - I would like to get out of work for a little while! ha! All I know is I'm moving towards that too - each night and day are filled with more twinges and aches and what was that feeling. I'm curious for my monday doctor's appointment to see if any of these feelings are moving towards anything...

I have reached the miss crabby portion of the pregnancy - I think its just the lack of sleep, the uncomfortable-ness of it all and most of all - if I'm hot or warm - its not cool. At least I'm aware of it and I'm really honestly trying my hardest not to be crabby - poor Chris. So if you run into me and I'm not super perky - I'm sorry!

Its weird to see my belly move so dramatically all the time - a little distracting too - especially at 4 in the morning!  We'll let's hope my next entry is about Christina and Matt's baby!!!
