36 weeks today!
Today I am 36 weeks! I had a doctors appt on Monday and I am still 2.5 centimeters dilated and now 80% effaced. Hearing numbers like those make me think that I am going to go into labor tomorrow, but then the doc says "see you next week" and reassures me to not pay attention to those numbers.
And for good reason. I still have one baptism to attend and one birthday party to throw!!
We finally switched the cribs into the correct bedrooms and Alyssa did great with her new crib. I thought she might have a little uneasiness being that it was a different crib, but she didn't at all. I am so glad for that.
I have to brag a little about Alyssa. My little girl can count to 11!! I can't believe it. When we walk down the stairs, she will count each step. And I swear we were looking at her play phone and I pointed out a couple numbers and she told me what numbers they were. I am still shocked and I can't get her to do that again, but I swear she did it the one time. Now please tell me why she still needs speech therapy??? She has been saying all kinds of words lately and has been repeating things we say, but the therapist thinks she should be putting two and three words together. She must think she is behind enough to bump up her monthly visit to two times a month. I think she is crazy, but she has a degree and we are getting it free through early intervention, so I am not complaining. I just think she is a smart cookie and I probably wouldn't have thought anything of her speech if we weren't going to early intervention for the physical therapy (which she doesn't need anymore and the therapist will evaluate her, but every time she says Alyssa is doing perfectly for her age...well except for her kicking a ball - insert eye roll here).
My stepmom finally gave me the money for the double stroller. I have to admit, I was getting a little worried, since she said that she would given us the money weeks ago. So, I ordered it and it should be here soon...yay!!
I have been going crazy ordering things online. I ordered Alyssa a big sister T-shirt with her name on it. I ordered curtains for Morgan's room, Easter baskets with names embroidered, and shelves for Alyssa's bedroom. I never bought anything online before (well except for Alyssa's book club) and I have to admit it is awesome!! I am thinking about ordering a flower clock for Morgan's room with her name on it too. It is too much fun to come home and see something on your doorstep! It's like Christmas...LOL!
So, I guess that is my weekly update. No one will know if I have the baby or not, since lately I have been such an infrequent poster...LOL!
