Yay kids!

All the pain from yesterday has subsided. Which I guess is okay, Greg can testify that I was pretty crabby by the end of the day.  I think it stopped sometime overnight, because I haven’t noticed it today. That’s about 14+ hours of pain – yuck.

On the upside, Little One did drop (a lot) last night. Ironically enough, I feel bunches more comfortable and could probably make it to April, if I had to. While I’m not ashamed to say that I hope I deliver soon; I’m glad to finally be considerably more comfortable than how I have been. Granted, there’s always the downside of living in the bathroom; but I’m not too annoyed by that (yet).

Tomorrow is the 37 week appointment, the Group B Strep test and the time we figure out what position Little One is in. Then I get to do the weeklies until delivery. My little partner in crime (well, the one on the outside at least) will be staying with Grandma due to me getting the GBS test. Considering Elise’s love of the trash, I figured it would be best to have her not come. Otherwise she would most likely have the entire trash emptied out in the time it takes to do the test! It will be weird to not have her with me – she’s been to so many OB appointments that she knows the routine, and gives me directions on where to go next. I’m sure the nurses will miss her but since this is the last of the tests, she can come with me next week.

And speaking of Elise, her 18 month checkup is on Monday (which is also Mama’s birthday, I just now realized!). I can’t believe that she’s already 18 months old. She’s so adorable and smart, and I am truly blessed to be able to stay home with her and watch her grow. Her newest accomplishments (in addition to climbing) is drinking from a lid-less cup and expanding her animal sounds vocabulary to include cows, dogs, sheep, and monkeys. She’s also experimenting with running (Lord help me!) and is extremely affectionate. She gives all her little doggies and other stuffed critters kisses before bed, and she always wants to give Jesus kisses whenever she sees any image of Him – crucifixes, the Sacred Heart, etc. She also does ‘praying hands’ and folds her little hands whenever she sees Greg and I pray, which is a very good thing, indeed.

  Transitus Tiber is my horrible mistranslation of "crossing the Tiber". Obviously, I haven't had any classes in Latin.
