Good and Bad News

I went to the doctor Thursday. I was 1cm and 50% effaced. That was some progress! We set up a date to induce: Thursday, September 4 at 7:15am. Wow! That's early in the morning. The good news is that she will definitely be here in 5 days. The bad news: Sam and Jackie will be in Idaho by then. They leave Monday or Tuesday. I really wish Reina would just make up her mind and come already so that she can see her aunts. I feel a little selfish, but I am ready to have her here. I want to meet her and see what she looks like. I'm trying really hard to be patient. I guess the Lord is teaching me patience waiting on Reina. That reminds me of a quote I saw on a teacher's desk: "Lord, grant me patience, but please hurry." That makes me smile. That is exactly how I feel, too. So, anyways. We are going to Wal-mart now to stock up on some stuff. Have a great day!

2 Weeks

Two weeks. That's it, well I hope it is. I am so ready for Reina to be here. Her room is ready. She has all these cute little outfits to wear. She needs to be ready and COME ON! I'm becoming a little impatient and anxious. I know it is going to be hard work when she gets here, but I have been looking forward to this day since I don't know when. I have always wanted to be a mom. Ya know, 2 weeks really isn't that long. It's just that it has been long enough! Any one else feel like I do?

Date Night

So Russ and I went on a date last night. It's been like two years since we have had the time, etc. to do that. We had a really good time. We went to TGI Fridays, my favorite. Then went and killed time at Lenny's, then killed more time at Target. We went and saw The Dark Knight at 10pm. That is so late for me now, but it was REALLY good. Oh, we bought candy at Target... slightly cheaper. I'm really glad my husband took me out. We enjoyed it and it was nice getting out of the house.

Work Stinks!

It's Been Awhile...

Well, it's been a little while since I've been on here. We have pretty much settled into our home. We do have internet (and dish) now so I'll be on here A LOT more. We had the baby showers. Thank you to everyone who helped out. They were amazing!!! We have less than a month to go before the due date. We are crossing our fingers that they will induce at least a week early so Sam and Jackie will be able to see their niece. Also, I'm so ready to put that nursery to use! lol.

Russ has started his job at the high school. Kids won't be there until Thursday, but he did have Freshman Open House last night (Monday) and he does have a few Freshman. He will be teaching four US History classes and two Spanish classes. He is working on setting up his room in between in-service meetings this week. I'm so glad he got Spanish classes, and he, I think, has no clue what he is in for. Kids are a lot meaner and lazier than ever before, so I just hope they don't run him off because he is going to make a wonderful teacher.

Anyways, come see us at our new home!!! Ok, when we aren't at work...
