Water & Waiting...

Another week has come and gone. I am still the mother of three outside babies and one inside baby!

Miss P has been anxiously awaiting the arrival of her "best friend", baby sister! We made a paper chain so that she could see how many days until baby arrives--at least let's hope it around the due date! There are 10 paper chains left as of today! We are getting near the end! I can only hope that the new baby will be this sweet...........

Because the weather was so beautiful, we did lots of playing outside! The kids loved the crazy sprinkler that G&G Berg got Paisley for Easter. Well....I guess I should say that Paisley and Madden loved it. Hudson...he liked it, kinda, some of the time, maybe.



One evening this week I had a late work meeting. So, I came home, made dinner and then had to get ready to go back to work. I left Craig and the kids downstairs in the living room so I could go change clothes and freshen up. While Craig was sitting RIGHT NEXT to the twins.....they got a TUB of Desitin open, and in about 2 minutes had a hay day with it. It was rubbed into the floor, on two chairs, on their rocking horse, and of course....on them. Sorry to say, I had to get going to my meeting just as this happened. Shoot. Craig was left to clean it up all by himself. ;) (No, I really did feel bad...that stuff is a pain to clean up!! )

Friday night we celebrated one of our very favorite babysitter's high school graduation!! Congrats, Carly! Luckily, Carly will still babysit for us once and a while this summer before she heads off to UW-Oshkosh to become a nurse!
And Saturday, we had some friends over for dinner, drinks and games! A few of the couples brought their kiddos....look how cute they are eating like big kids!

The twins also got to have their first, very own ice cream cone!!!

BABY UPDATE: 39 Weeks

YUP. 39 weeks!! It's pretty much time for baby girl to make her debut. I am exhausted at the thought of moving. And by moving I mean, turning over in bed, walking...you know, the usual. My appointment this past week was good. Everything is normal. I am 2 cm dilated and the doctor could feel the baby's head pushing on my cervix-- so...she's gettin' ready! She did strip my membranes, but as you've already figured...it did nothing.

I'm trying to be patient, as I clearly know that inside babies are much easier to take care of than outside babies. However, that doesn't mean I'm not going crazy with anticipation of the whole thing!
I am convinced that she will share a b-day with someone, since all of the kids do. And June is FULL of birthday's in our family--- and we narrowly missed Auntie Melissa's B-day on Saturday...HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MEL!!....but we've got several others in the next two weeks we could hit! I'm hoping for a June 9th baby...my grandpa's b-day (and friend jodee's too!)...so if you could all do your magic tricks, that would be fabulous!

Until next Sunday...
The Berg family of 5 (plus Oscie)
