Yes, Paul is still teething. It seems as though 4 are coming in all at once. Ugh. This makes for a very crabby little boy most of the time. Can't blame him though. I'd be crabby too if I had that many teeth coming in all at once. It's been great that the days have been nicer out. We've been to the park a lot in the last couple of weeks. A few days ago we spent a few hours at the park with friends disc golfing. It was a really great time. I didn't do too bad myself and we only got bit by a few hundred mosquitoes. Okay, so a few hundred is a bit of an exaggeration, but we still got bit up. Paul got quite a few on his face, poor lad, and his face puffed up pretty good. Looked like someone gave him a good sock in the eye. After the long walk in the park and tossing a disc around, the next day I started feeling some regular Braxton-Hicks. It felt like real labor had begun and it lasted a few hours. We had a couple of people on call in case we needed to go into the hospital,but no one was called and we slept through the night. I was slightly disappointed that nothing came of it, but it was clear to both Jerry and I that we were not quite ready for little Ariel to come home yet. We still needed to preregister with the hospital, which I did this afternoon, and get an idea of how much clothing we actually had for her. I also didn't have anything set up for her clothes to go in, but I do now. Last night our neighbor was kind enough to give us her rocker/recliner. I'd been searching for one that I liked for quite some time and noticed one sitting in our basement. I figured with where it sat that it might be hers so I left her a note and about an hour later she popped over to say we could just have it! PTL! We've gotten a lot of things done since our little "scare" and I'm grateful. I'll soon have my bags packed and a list of the things I want with when the time does come.
Other great news is that Jerry was finally told when he'll end his weekend shift and begin the "night" shift. The 19th is his last day for weekends, and the 27th is his first day on nights, 3pm-1am. It would be great timing if Elli came in-between those days so that Jerry could have some extra time off. Or maybe even the week before would be better.
Not sure what else to include. Getting to be my nap time. Thanks for reading!
