Still no baby. I had an ultrasound yesterday, and the fluid around the baby is a little low, so I'm not to go walking anymore. They think I over did it this past week. I did a lot of walking and shopping, and even though I'm drinking a lot of water, I may not have been drinking enough to compensate for all the exercise. So, I'm confined to the house again (except for taking Glenn to school and going to doctor's appts). They will do another ultrasound on Thursday to check the fluid level. I saw my OB this morning, and he wasn't worried about the lower fluid level as long as I rest. That made me feel better about it. But the frustrating part of the day was when he checked to see if I'm dilated, he said the baby is no longer low. I thought that once the baby dropped, you deliver that that's it. But apparently he decided he's not ready yet to be born. So, Bob was a little grumpy after leaving the OB's office. Of course he's not the one carrying the baby. :)

I didn't want anyone to think that we were in the hospital since I haven't posted. We're still waiting. I went for a walk this morning and we're going to the pool in a few minutes, so that I get a little more active. My mom is flying down tomorrow night, so she just might make it before the baby is born.

I have had a couple requests for a picture so people can see how big I'm getting. My belly kind of looks like it has an odd shape because of the shirt I'm wearing and because the baby is so low.


Here are some pictures of my silly boy. This first one was just before bed one night. He was playing in his play room and had just the one boot on and the hammer tucked into the waistband of his shorts.


Bob had brought home a book of Dora the Explorer stickers and Glenn decided to decorate his legs with them.


Glenn likes to listen to Daddy's IPod with the big headphones. He was cuddling with Daisy while listening just before bed one night.

Yay, I made it to 37 weeks. I'm now considered full term, so I can have the baby any time. I had another ultrasound and monitoring this morning, and the baby was doing everything he's supposed to do: he's head down, moving, practicing breathing...

Glenn started summer school today. He goes Monday through Thursday, and it's a slightly shorter day than what they had during the school year. Apparently 2 weeks with Mom was long enough that he didn't want to go back to school. He was happy until he saw the teaching assistant and then the tears began to fall. Poor kid. It's time to go pick him up so, I better go.

Apparently my guys don't learn. After the fish incident of last week, I suggested that the fish food be put in the bathroom out of reach of Glenn. But Bob felt it would be safe in a drawer in Glenn's room. Today, Bob caught Glenn just in time before putting the fish food in the fish tank. But what he didn't notice is that the algae wafers for our former algae eaters had already been dumped in the fish tank. When I woke up from my nap, I brought Glenn to his room to change his diaper and noticed the algae wafers on the bottom of the tank, and they were disintegrating. So, I scooped out as much as I could and rinsed the rocks. One fish has died so far (his name was Pooh because he was orange). Bob's going to go get an algae eater fish after he's done working to hopefully eat up the rest of the algae. The fish food is now on a high shelf in Glenn's closet- there's no way he can get it. Hopefully he doesn't resort to putting something else in the tank since he can't get the food. He just wants to help and doesn't understand that he is making the fish sick. But if all these fish die, I don't think we'll be putting the tank in his room until he's older.
