Long over due pictures

Mary Reilly didn't like the fountain

We went to see the tall ships. (The hottest day in Charleston ever!!)

39 weeks pregnant/Mary Reilly 16 months old

Mary Reilly is now eating from her "big girl" chair. (It's a booster chair)

This girl can eat some corn on the cob!!

2 things/ Mary Reilly

I can't find my usb cable to my camera. That's why there hasn't been any pictures. I will keep looking. Also, I have been telling everyone I am going to induced on Monday July 7. July 7 is a Tuesday. I got confused. So I am setting the record straight I am going in Tuesday July 7. If you are sad be sad for me. I have a whole extra day of being pregnant. Yay!

Mary Reilly had her 15 month checkup last Tuesday. This time Ladson got to go with me. Mary Reilly is off the charts. She weighs 28 pounds and 39 inches long. When I asked what percentile he told me she made her own percentile. I guess that means she is over the 100th percentile. He told me she is in the 15th percentile of the 3 year olds. My girlie is going to be tall! She doesn't get that from me :)

39 weeks

I am ready! I know what to expect this time. My doctor's appointment was on Thursday. I told him that I am ready. He checked me and I was still 1 centimeter. I have been this way for three weeks! We talked about inducing me on Thursday but Ladson is strongly against it and plus my Doctor won't be there to deliver her. I have another Appointment on Monday and I see another doctor. He would be the other one that might be on call. Dr. Reeves told him that if I am more dilated go ahead and start the induction which is fine by me! If I stayed the same then I will go in on July 7 and be induced. Everyone told me the second one comes early. I guess I have babies late. Mary Reilly was 5 days late.

I guess I look smaller than I am. Most people don't think I am as far along as I am. I guess that's a good thing. I think I am really big but all I mostly see is looking down.

Weight gain: 32 pounds

38 weeks

Back to the doctor I went today. Nothing new to report. I am STILL one centimeter dilated. He did say that he wouldn't be surprised to see me before my next appointment. I don't know if he just told me that to make me feel better or if it was for real. I guess time will tell.

Ladson is finally on the road. He will be here for good on Saturday. It will be nice to have everyone back together.

We also got word that we have been assigned for a house in Fort Lee. Yay, we won't be homeless!! It's not pretty but it will have to do. When Ladson goes up to Virginia to sign for it I will make him take pictures. It will be torn down right after we move out so I am sure it's lovely. It's only for 5 months.

Mountains

We are back from the mountains. (My parents have a house in Saluda NC) The minute we were about to drive to the house I thought to myself "I am not suppose to be traveling." We are 3 hours away from Summerville. Oops :) I then thought I am at a higher altitude and what happens if that puts me into labor? To make a things short...nothing at all happened! Not one contraction. I guess I just have to ride out these last 2 weeks. I haven't even packed my bags for the hospital. I am such a slacker. Tomorrow I am off to the store for diapers and bottles and a few more things.

Mary Reilly doesn't have a clue her world is going to change in about 2 weeks. Miss queen bee is going to learn she has to share mommy. It might be hard since I am the pretty much the only one she has been around for 15 months. I thought to myself today when I go into the hospital that would be the longest I have been away from her. It's kinda sad to think about. I have pretty much one week to get Ladson ready. He still has problems with stinky diapers. (So does my dad) I will just have to make list of all she likes to eat, what she can play with, etc.

On our 3 hour drive back today the queen bee decided she didn't need a nap. She is in her screaming phase (I hope to god it's a phrase) She is saying all kinds of new words. Ice, Seat, Please (lease...we can't say the p's yet) milk(mimi) ant, and a few more that I can't think of right now. Mostly she tries to repeat alot of words you say. So she screamed the whole way back. Needless to say she went to bed an hour earlier tonight. She does now know how to blow her nose..even when she doesn't have a tissue! She thinks it's funny and I try not to encourage it but it's hard not to laugh.

Ladson is still not here. He is packing up the house and should be here this week.It will be nice to be on the same time zone! We are taking our house off the market. My awesome neighbor Paige found someone to rent our house for a year. I guess it's better than sitting on the market and empty. Ladson's dad is flying to Texas and driving back with Ladson (and Millie our dog).

3 weeks to go!

This was taken a little over a week ago. My last current picture. The baby is Baby Elliot. My cousin Melissa's cousin baby. Such a cute boy!


I can't believe that I have only 3 weeks to go! I am soooo not ready. I just bought the take home from the hospital outfit. I guess it is different the second time around. I went to the doctors this morning (I really like my doctor here (Dr. Reeves) and he said I was still 1 centimeter dilated and 50% effaced. He said I will probably have this baby in 2 weeks. That will put me around June 25.



Weight gain :30 pounds (so much for my 25 pound limit) I gained 5 pounds this week. No more Ice cream!



Cravings: Ice Cream and chocolate pudding

Visit to Mount pleasant

I can't believe I haven't blogged. I wasn't going to blog about this but since I haven't blogged and my cousin Melissa sent me the pictures..I will. Melissa (My cousin) and I (with my mom and my Uncle Bill in tow) took Mary Reilly and Melissa's flock (Amelia, Henry and Hudson) to Mount Pleasant to see my Grandmother. My mom's mother. We don't visit often. It's kinda sad that we don't but when you don't know how the mood will take her it's hard to bring young innocent children around.



Enough on that...Thanks Melissa for the pictures!
