due date?

april 10.

this day is significant

for us because it was actually my first

due date.

based on my period {sorry boys, mark hates

when i talk about this stuff!}

so i would like to get on my soap box for just a second.

before advanced ultrasound

that supposedly determines your due date

all they went off of was

the natural way...and that was a woman's cycle.

well, everybody in the olden days i am now officially overdue!

however, we now know that ultrasounds can 

be a little more helpful

but then doesn't it seem to explain

why so many people...[ie our mothers and grandmothers

went way over on their due date]

my point is...when i actually hit my due date next week

[anywhere between  april 16-19...both are verified due dates]

i am actually "overdue" using the primitive methods.

so ....we are definitely pushing for induction next week

if this baby is not already here!

so please, please...be praying that this baby comes soon!

{also one other note: jesse's due date according to 

his ultrasound was actually a week behind

my LMP due date...but they choose to stick with the LMP due date

...if they would not have my water would have broke

5 weeks early...and he would have been termed

4 weeks early!}

okay..

enough of the soap box.

however i did have an md appt.

yesterday. it went well.

baby is still doing good.

he did not check me

but we are going to evaluate

whats the best course of action

at my next appt. on monday

{hopefully i wont make it.....!}

fat chance, huh?

so,

the first thing i have

to show you is a video of

jesse laughing

in the morning...he actually wakes up

kind of cranky...much to my dismay...

but after eating he is better...and 

thinks it is hilarious to feed me.

well yesterday morning,

he was cracking up so hard he could hardly breathe.

of course when i got out the camera

he was not laughing nearly as hard

but i thought i would still post it.

{and yes...he has oatmeal all over his bib, hair is dishelved,

and my kid snorts when he laughs....i am aware, hahaha!}

alright...the rest of the day
proceeded as normal..till mark came home from work.

so the nightly routine

for us ...

when mark gets home

i let the dogs out into the garage

and before he comes in he quickly fills up their

dog bowls with their food

[so they are taken care of for the evening]

then the dogs, when finished eating on the side of the house,

run around to the very back of the yard to 

go potty.

sometimes we let them in right away ...other

times we leave them out during dinner.

well this particular night

we left them outside

for awhile...

after dishes were cleaned up

and i was getting the bath ready for jesse

[he managed to cover himself with dinner...

head to toe this evening]

i happened to walk by the front door...

what did i see...

my dog{dysa} sitting at the front door

waiting to be let in!

WHat?

they have never escaped

{well, except once when my dad scared the daylights out of 

dakota...on the day we were pulling away to move down to paso.

yes she literally looked like a rabid dog, foaming at the mouth,

covered in blood, totally freaked out, running away from everybody! took us a couple hours to find her!

all thanks to my dad....who thought it would be funny!}

anyways, i opened the door and let her in...

not for long!

her whole right side was smeared in dog poo!

how did she do this...

why....

and how did she even get out?

crazy!

well another bath on the menu for evening.

never a dull moment with 2 dogs

imagine adding 4 kids to that!

yes we love chaos!

gross, dog!

ok...and the last

thing for the day is more pictures of mark's

office for all those who may be interested.

they are similar to the last ones

but now there are some pictures up that he received

in his "easter basket".

{he also got some other random office

supply stuff...and maybe a few decorative items

like candles and such....however he nicked those things 

[ie candles]...

its killing me ....i want to go decorate his office!}
