Went to the doctor today and my blood pressure was a little bit high and I wasn't dialted anymore than last week so we scheduled to induced tomorrow, since the due date was June 11. Tomorrow, Tuesday was the only day this week they could work us in so we definitely took it!! We have to be at the hospital tonight at 9:00 to be started on some medicine that will help get me ready to be induced tomorrow. Then in the morning they will start the pitocin to get my contractions started...finally!
I have been feeling some strong pains off and on but it's usually just in the evenings for a couple of hours. I go to bed and wake up feeling fine. Not really any pains during the day.
Parker is spending the night with Jeremy's sister tonight and my mom will bring him up to the hospital tomorrow.
Well, I guess I better wrap up for now so I can finish getting everything ready for us to head out tonight. Hope that everyone has a great week.

Nothing Yet
Well...we're finally connected to the internet at home so I can update the blog more frequently now. Thank you, thank you, thank you to Jeremy's parents for hooking up the internet at our house for us. I am going to do some business stuff for them from home so they graciously offered to get us hooked up with internet access, and it actually saved them some money because I guess they were running a special or something. Seemed to work out for both of us. Gotta love that!
No real progress yet. I went to the doctor on Monday and he checked me and I wasn't dialated any. I haven't really felt anything so I am just patiently waiting on Brooklyn to arrive. It is so crazy to me how each pregnancy can be so different. Parker was a week early, I never felt any pain until I went into labor 21 hours before he was born. With Brooklyn...she is due today and I'm not feeling anything so I think that her even being born on the due date, much less early (obviously), has passed. She is still moving a little, but mostly she just pushes out on my stomach. My skin is getting pretty sensitive since it's so stretched now. Although it's not comfortable, I thank God for the movements because I know that He's keeping her safe in there!
I'm getting anxious waiting for her and am absolutely LOVING staying home. My mom has been coming over during the day to help me out with Parker so I can rest and get things done around the house. She's so sweet to come out here so I don't have to be here by myself. I'm too anxious and it gets too quiet without Parker here that until Brooklyn's born I think that I need someone around to help me keep my mind off of waiting for Brooklyn.
It was sad leaving work on Thursday. It was a weird feeling leaving my keys on the desk and locking up knowing that would never be my office again. Everyone was so sweet to me and I'll miss them all so much.
I downloaded some pictures from a CD onto my computer at home so I actually do have one to share. My camera is still in my hospital bag which stays in the Tahoe so I haven't taken any news pics lately. Here is one from the baby shower in Dayton at the beginning of May. Well, I can't figure out why the picture won't show up but I will try again later to update it. I have to start getting dinner ready. Hope everyone has had a good week!!

My Last Week!
I'm excited about it being my last week of work, I'm hoping that Brooklyn at least waits until the weekend to make her grand entrance into the world.
Woodridge found someone to do my job temporarily until they find someone permanantly, so I was training him a few days last week. Taylor knows graphics and page layout very well so he's been easy to train. He picks up on everything very quickly. Half of today and all day tomorrow are more training days so by then he'll have it all down for sure.
Went to the doctor on Thursday and saw a new doctor...my doctor is still out of town. Nothing had changed from last week. Still not dialated any. I am hoping to be able to work the rest of this week and go up to Jeremy's parents lab in Mont Belivieu for training on Friday. Once I finish up on Friday, there's not really anything that I feel like I need to accomplish before Brooklyn's born.
We finally got Parker's swingset for his birthday...which was May 4. :) Jeremy found one for a good deal at Toys R Us so he got it Wednesday. He wasn't really very motivated to put it together over the weekend (he hasn't been sleeping very well lately) so yesterday afternoon about 2:30 he went out to start working on it and then he remembered that we were going to put a protective gloss coat on the wood so then he had to go to Lowe's to get what we needed. So...I think that we finally started working on it about 5:00 last night, so needless to say we didn't get much done. Throughout the week we'll work on getting the back sides of all of the wood pieces painted with the gloss coat and hopefully have it all ready for Jeremy to put together over the weekend...assuming that we're not at the hospital over the weekend.
Well, I guess that is about all of the news for now.
