We have been really busy lately considering that I feel we have nothing to show for all the work we have been doing. That is kind of
disappointing.
Makayla stayed with my parents in Newport this weekend. I have to admit that I missed her much more than usual! I am always ready to pick her up, but I was really ready to get her this time. She typically stays just one night but stayed 2 night this trip. I wish I could say that we got a lot of work done around the house while she was gone, but we didn't. I think I was just worn out from the work week because we laid around practically all day on Saturday. We did go to Little Rock to eat and watch a movie on Saturday night, but I am sad to say that is the most we accomplished the entire weekend.
Makayla did have a great weekend with her
Granna, Grandaddy, and Uncle Ryan though.
She has been
surprising me so much lately. Since she goes to school all day it is always such a
pleasant surprise for me to find out that she knows something that I was unaware that she even knew. It always happens like that. Last night she told me to sit down on the mat in the playroom for circle (like circle time they have at school). I did, so she went into teacher mode and taught me the days of the week. I didn't realize that she even knew that.
LOL! It's things like that I don't know about because I don't think to ask her "Do you know the days of the week?". The same thing happens with books. We will read her a book only to realize that she already has 75% of the book memorized. I always think "
hmm...I guess they read this book at school too". We are just so blessed to have found such kind, loving people to take care of and teach our little girl!
Baby Update...Last week I woke up in the middle of the night to a couple of painful
braxton hicks
contractions. The painful ones let up but the contractions still continued. I called and talked to the nurse, and she basically told me not to worry about it because they had slowed down to a contraction every hour or 2. That is normal apparently. I don't know really because I didn't have them much at all with
Makayla. Guess that's why we pay our
OB's. I had my regular 34 week appointment today, and Dr. Williams wanted to go ahead and check me because of the contractions I have been having. Guess what?!? Not that it means anything at all, but I am already
dilated to 1.5 cm. At least something is happening
even though I feel a little weird since I am only 34 weeks. He assured me that it was totally normal for a mom who has already had a baby before. Once again...That's why we pay him the big bucks.
