It has been a while since I posted anything, and it isn't because life has been particularly slow or busy. I have just been too lazy to do it. It seems that every time I have a minute to blog I end up falling asleep or doing something equally as productive. So let me see if I can catch you all up to speed with what's been going on.
I had another doctor's appointment a few weeks ago and was told that my iron levels were back to normal. (if you didn't know my iron was extremely low and they put me on 3 iron supplements a day as well as a multivitamin) It was a relief to hear that my iron was good so I could stop taking the supplements because they made me so sick sometimes. At that appointment we also scheduled my induction for Oct. 1st. At my next appointment (this Thursday) I am going to see if I can move that date to Monday the 29th, that's the day after Jason gets here. I have never had to be induced and I have to admit that I am kind of scared. I don't like IVs and I really don't want to have the epidural because I don't like those either, but if I'm induced I will most likely have to have both of those. Yuck.
The baby is healthy and growing great. I have done way more shopping that I am used to in order to get everything I need for the first 7 months of her life, and I'm afraid it could lead to bad shopping habits in the future. Sorry Jas!
Dyson is continuing to learn how to swim. He is doing a fantastic job too. He does "big olympic arms" and can nearly the whole width of the pool underwater in one breath. He is so proud of himself, as he should be.
Ridge is getting so much better at sharing and it's about time. It seems like it has been a long time coming but he is finally understanding that it's important to share.
Both of the boys are excited to have a sister and they lay on her (and consequently me) and give her loves and tell her they love her. I hope this affection continues after she's born. I really don't want to deal with the jealousy. I got lucky with the boys and Dyson didn't ever get physical when he was jealous of Ridge. He would just politely ask whoever was holding the baby to give him to someone else so they could hold Dyson. I hope that's how it goes with this baby girl, but for some reason I doubt it.

Hey Goregous! Don't worry about the shopping! She'll be cute! I hope that you get to having more energy but, I know it probably won't be for about 5 more weeks! I love you! Thanks for taking care of the boys! You are the best!
