Hey everybody!
It was a nice weekend here. No baby yet - due date was yesterday. I am hoping that maybe he'll come today on Eric's birthday. That would be the best gift to give him...or maybe he'll come in the early morning hours when thunderstorms are expected early tomorrow. Maybe the change in pressure will do it for me!

Swimming felt amazing this weekend. Totally. Just what I needed. We found low energy activities for our family to do so I could rest - we watched 'Annie' and part of 'Up' with Kaylee. We went out and got Kaylee a rainbow of fingernail polish and painted her nails for the first time. She giggles very cute while they're being done out of complete excitement.

Kaylee helped me wash all the baby bottles and nipples. I hand washed them and she rinsed and dried. She would proclaim, "Mommy, I do the dishes!" I never thought she'd want to do them and had her all set up with Playdoh but the sudzy water and the splashing with sponges was too much for her to pass up - she was so engrossed in the activity. We 'did the dishes' but Saturday and Sunday morning. I am starting to get an idea of how Kaylee can help out and be occupied once baby gets here - this is what people mean by try to get the toddler to be a helper I suppose! Very cute!

Suffice it to say, I can't wait until baby boy Smith arrives. We are ready. I finished up with work on Friday and I don't want to be out of work for long before he arrives. It just gets subtracted from my FMLA I believe. Not sure... At my dr appt on Friday, they were concerned about my blood pressure. They took it 5 times! The last one they had me lay down and rest. It lowered the top number but not the bottom one, which is the one they wanted to see go lower I guess. They said it wasn't scary high but just sort of high and my bp's always been great until now. So they did some more blood tests to test for protein in my liver to make sure I don't have any signs up impending preeclampsia. I haven't heard anything so - no news is good news - they're having me go in today to get the bp checked again. They would induce labor if it's too high. Not likely though.

Anyways, everybody do a rain/baby dance for us!
