In case you haven't heard, I am being induced tomorrow morning at 8:30 at St. Joseph's hospital. Hopefully it will going fairly quickly, though, not too quickly.
Most of the house is packed up already. If you're not sitting on it, or wearing it, Brian is trying to pack it up. We closed on the house and are getting all ready.
It seems crazy that by this time tomorrow, I'll have a crying baby. I mean, a sweet little baby.

Baby and house update:
1. Hudson is already in trouble. He's grounded to his crib as soon as we bring him home. None of that, "Look at me. I'm a cute baby." is going to get him out of his punishment. He's in no hurry to get here. So we wait. We had him measured by ultrasound. They measured his head size, torso, femur and according to the computer model, he weighs 8lbs. 9ozs. Every day he stays in he gains 1 oz. Oh good.
2. WE GOT THE HOUSE! Finally! The many months long drama is almost at it's conclusion. Our loan went through and now all we have to do is sign the papers. They're trying to work it out so we can sign them down here, in CA, instead of going to Utah. It's going to cost a couple of hundred dollars, but so would making a trip to Utah and if you haven't noticed.... I'm very pregnant.
3. Moving: We are most likely moving on the 26th of June. This is subject to change, but it's MY plan for right now. Brian just nods his head and makes agreeing noises. (I think they're agreeing. Maybe not.)
I quit cub scouts. I got them through their badge for this month and then told them I was too miserable to do it anymore.
I know, I'm boring because I don't post any pictures anymore. What can I say? It's true. I am boring.

There IS a baby... it's just still inside me.
I went to the doctor on Monday because I've been having migraine headaches. It's weird, because I don't get migraines and to get 3 in 3 days seemed odd. I asked him if it could be pregnancy related. He sent me to labor and delivery for some blood tests and to monitor the baby. As soon as I got to L & D my body sensed the baby pheromones in the air and started contracting. I really think Brian thought I was faking it. Good thing there was a machine showing the contractions up on a monitor. I had contractions every 3 minutes for 6 hours, but I didn't progress fast enough and they sent me home. Darn... I was so close. Since then, nothing. I've had a few random contractions, but nothing really. EVERYONE keeps calling. My phone rang all day. "Am I going to have a baby tonight?" How would I know? If I knew when the baby was going to come, I'd be a much happier woman. Tell you what-- I'll let everyone know the minute something changes. But for now, nothing is happening. I've walked around the block, walked around the school, helped glue art for the school art fair, packed 3 boxes by going up and down a step ladder. Nothing. So everyone just hold your horses.

I went to the doctor this morning. No baby this week or anytime soon. I am measuring 42 weeks, so next week he'll do an ultrasound to check how big the baby is. Apparently you can't just induce a woman because she's tired of bring pregnant. I guess you need a reason. Sheesh. If the baby gets too big, that will be a justifiable reason. Stay tuned until next Thursday. I'll just keep cooking the baby.

There is nothing exciting to report.
No, we don't know about the house yet. Maybe we'll know by this Friday, the 15th. Yes, it's dragging on forever and killing us with stress and we're in a state of limbo.
No, I haven't had a baby yet. Yes, I'm still pregnant. I have already heard, I'm pretty sure, every folk remedy for getting labor started. I am constantly bombarded with suggestions... even from the refrigerator salesman at Pacific Sales who suggested I eat a pepperoni pizza and walk around the block. I've also been told: eat balsamic vinegar, walk up the stairs backwards, eat spicy food, etc. I'm just trying not to think about it.
I have a Dr. appointment on Thursday. I'll try tears, but my OB has been an OB for 30 years. He's pretty much unmoved by weeping and begging.

Tristan
So... Tristan lost another tooth on Saturday. It's one of the teeth on top, right next to the two front teeth (that he's also missing). The boys were wrestling on the couch and I had repeatedly told them to stop. Tristan was mostly the instigator, being as he was the one on top of Jack's back. I left the room and then heard Tristan yelling that Jack had hit him in the mouth. There is some confusion as to whether it was Jack's fist or head that connected. Of course I gave him the old, "I don't feel sorry for you at all. I told you to stop wrestling... blah blah blah." Then he cough up blood and a tooth. My next response was, "Wow... he really did hit you hard."
On Sunday during church, Tristan leans over to me and says, "Mom, I read in the bible (pause... you were reading the bible?) that Heavenly Father created space and the earth, and the plants and the animals in 6 days." I answer, "Uh huh..." He continues, "But mom, we know that space is infinite and everlasting. So if that's the case, he would STILL be working on space and never have had time to make earth and everything else." I looked at Tristan and thought several things... 1) How do you come up with these things? 2) How long has this been bothering you? 3) How can I explain all of this while trying to whisper and not incur the wrath of the church whispering monitor (Brian)?
Speaking of church, we've established a nice routine. Tristan draws and Jack promptly falls asleep during the whole first hour.

These are random pictures from the Discovery Science Center.
We're having a garage sale right now. I hate garage sales... I'm so uncomfortable with people coming and looking and then haggling with me. I just say something cheap so they buy it and leave. Currently I'm hiding in the house. Shhh... don't tell Brian he's out there alone.
