Yeah, I really don't have ANY patience at all. 10 days left until my due date, and it's driving me CRAZY. Hmm....do I sound like every other pregnant woman in their last week? :)
Ideally, the plan is to have a successful VBAC and not have to have a repeat section...It's really just the recovery that I HATE, not to mention a couple of other things that went wrong for me last time during surgery!
Everyone that's had 2 or more sections keeps on telling me that the recovery the second time is way better...but it's hard to not be skeptical of that :) I have a low pain tolerance, so I have a feeling it wouldn't be all that better for me.
Anyway, I'm just crossing my fingers that she'll come early or right around my due date. My OB wants to schedule a section if nothing's happening by my due date, so she needs to make an appearance before that scheduled date!
In the end, I just want a happy, healthy baby, and the delivery doesn't really matter. I just HATE waiting!
This weekend is the baby shower, which I'm looking forward to! It'll be nice to see some friends of mine that I haven't seen in a WHILE!
Well, I think that's it for now....nothing really interesting....just me ranting! lol.

Well, I'm trying to start updating this more regularly...and I haven't been doing a very good job :) Clearly.
Baby #2 is due in 18 days, and I'm of course crossing my fingers that she'll come sooner than that. I have a feeling she'll come a week to 10 days early. That would be AWESOME anyway.
Cohen's talking up a storm....speaking in sentences much more often now, which I'm told is great for only being 22 months old. He's such a smarty! Lately, he says:
"I hear something!"
"I see something"
"I see a doggie over there!"
etc.
I can't wait to teach him to read. It's my next big thing....letter recognition. That and potty training. Should be fun!
This weekend we're having my family over for Easter Dinner, and I'm making a white checkerboard cake, iced with the basketweave technique in a Key Lime Cream Cheese Icing....I hope it turns out! Luckily everyone in my family likes Lime...because I really want to try it out.
The weekend after that, my Aunt Colette and cousin Rachelle are throwing me a baby shower here in town, so that'll be awesome. Who knows, maybe I'll be in the hospital by then :) Not that I want to miss the shower of course, but I WANT THIS BABY OUT too :) Ah, the joys of being 37 weeks pregnant with NO sleep.
Hmmm....nothing new with Jared really...he went snowboarding a little while back for the first time in 10 years, and had a great time!
I think that's it for now!

OK so, seeing as how I cannot seem to email any videos through Hotmail (too large of a file), here is the next best place!
Synopsis:
Cohen hasn't been napping well, since the change from the crib to the big boy bed that he can escape from....I've managed to cuddle with him on the couch and he's fallen asleep, but today he just WASN'T having any of it. SO, we were finishing making dinner tonight (around 5:40pm) and had him in his high chair patiently waiting, and noticed he was nodding off. SO, Jared grabbed the camera, and this is what happened...

Oh my goodness this summer has been busy busy busy!! It's sad that I haven't posted since the end of July. Oh well.
We attended two weddings in August...one for Jared's younger brother Tyler, and the other for my cousin Jesse. Tyler and Lisa were married in Cardston, and Jesse and Jolene in Waterton. Both were very nice weddings.....long days for Cohen though :) The life of a small child.
Cohen's been cutting teeth left and right. We were in a store yesterday, and Cohen has been whining big time while we were in there....so we head out to the car, set him in his seat, and he's got blood around his mouth! He'd had his fingers in his mouth (gnawing on them due to the teething) and sure enough, one of his teeth had just broken through....hence the small amount of blood. Poor guy! He's got a few molars now, which suprisingly didn't really affect him that much. Most moms i've talked to said they were the worst....maybe we're just lucking out?
This weekend we're heading to Olds to visit my parents and install a new furnace for them (Jared's job of course). I'll bring him water and cheer him on ...lol. After this weekend, we'll be HOME for more than 1 week at a time!!!!! AMAZING!!!!!
I don't think we've got any weekend excursions planned until Thanksgiving now. MMMmm...Thanksgiving.....turkey.....ah. 1 month away....
Um, what else. My business is still going strong....I've taken down my ads on Kijiji and i'm still getting orders through Facebook and word of mouth. It's crazy busy, but a huge blessing of course to be able to bring some money in here and there.

UGH. I'm sure that I'm missing a lot of things, but it's not coming to me right now...mostly because my stomache is yelling at me and saying that I need to eat.....which seems to veto any other decisions right now :)
I'll try to keep this going a bit better :)

OK so it's been AGES since I put anything new up on here.
We went camping for 5 days with my in-laws, and it was Cohen's first camping trip! He loved being outside all the time. He also fell...all the time. Stupid rocks and tree roots :) Cohen also managed to eat a cherry...WHOLE and a very small piece of wood...(both NOT under my supervision might I add...haha). He's still breathing, so I guess we'll count it as extra fibre?
Jared's brother Tyler is getting married on the first of August, so we're looking forward to that. I bought a dress for it today.....and it was 1 size smaller than I thought I was....plus, it needs to be tailored! I couldn't believe it. I should shop at that particular store more often for a self confidence boost!
We did finish P90X by the way.....Jared's thinking of doing another round when the weather's not as hot and he's not sweating buckets at work. I lost about 30-35 lbs doing it. A 3 month program. Not bad eh? Only the last 10 lbs to reach my goal weight. Ugh. 10 more pounds....
I've started my own little home business....custom painting children's wall art....particularly the name letters. If you want to check it out, my website is:
www. jillscustomwallart.com
I've got so many orders I can't believe it! Enough to keep me steady until Christmas! It's such a blessing.
Jared and I recently celebrated our 4th wedding anniversary. We went to back to back movies....which is a rarity these days. I love dinner and a movie night. It's nothing extraordinary, but we're such movie people that it's still great. We saw Star Trek and Angels and Demons.
LOVED Star Trek (and i'm no trekkie). I'd buy it. Didn't like Angels and Demons....it's just the usual "i've read the book" and the movie doesn't cut it. If you've never read the book, it would be a great movie though.
What else. Cohen gets his ear tag removed this coming week. It's a day surgery at the Children's hospital. It's a minor and short surgery, but I can't help but get emotional when I think about it! I just hope for 3 things....
1. He doesn't have an allergic reaction to the anesthetic (yes, they're knocking him out!) stupid if you ask me....for a 15 minute surgery. Whatever.
2. There are no clotting problems.
3. He doesn't randomly "catch anything" from the hospital.
Call me paranoid, but that's all that worries me. I'm sure it will all go smoothly though....I keep telling myself that. No one enjoys having their child in the hospital for ANY reason.
Hmm....that's about it for an update. Cohen's doing so many new things I wouldn't know where to begin. He's a very bright boy! Must be my genes kicking in...haha.
