since connor started that one evening going potty in the toilet, we haven't had a dirty diaper to change. every single time, he's gotten either todd or i and told us that he needed to go. yay for not changing poopy diapers! oh wait. we're going to have to in like a week. ha. but seriously, newborn poo=nothing compared to toddler poo.

well now i'm feeling rushed. and as much as i want to let lily come in her own time, i really need her to get here BY the 13th. i was really set on how i don't care when she comes, she'll get here when she gets here. but todd has class the week of the 18th, which means no chance of paid days off if she comes that week. kitchell has done that for guys before so we are hoping! and the weekend of the 14th/15th i believe marge has stuff going on (that's what one of the ladies at the office told me at least) so it would be harder for her to help out with connor and whatnot. i am constantly uncomfortable and all the things i NEED to get done around the house are just impossible at this stage. so i would love to just have her here and get the recovery over with so i can get things done again!

one of our friends brought over a gift for lily this past week. a cloth diapering set with all that we need until she's 15 pounds! yay! i am so excited to start with her from the beginning. with connor, we only recently completely switched. and i know she won't fit into the one-size dipes for a bit.

i've been having lots of contractions and cramping. the other night i started timing them and they were about 30 seconds long and 3-4 minutes apart. but they never increased in intensity so i wasn't rushing off to the hospital. i've been getting little sessions like that in the evenings but i'm not going to bother timing them anymore, as they are most likely prelabor, until my water breaks for they get intense. last night it stormed a bit and it is supposed to again tonight. i sat through a few contractions in the rocking chair with the blinds open watching the storm thinking about how awesome it would be to labor like that. i love storms.

well, 39 weeks on sunday. start sending your birthing and labor vibes this way!
