There's a lima bean in here...

I'm going to make you wait for that story!

Well, exciting news...

The Olympics begin tomorrow!!!! I've been waiting for this since the winter Olympics ended...and then, some time passed and we found out we were pregnant again...we found out I was due 8/16/08 - 8 days after the Olympics begin. This may not mean much to the average NBC watcher, but when most of the shows you watch are on NBC and every night you hear, "10 days until the Olympics begin..." it becomes a little nerve wracking! Major freak-out session last night..."2 days until the Olympics..." ACK!

Let me just say - at this point with Keaton...the car seat had been in the car for 6 weeks, bags were packed and taken to every appointment "just in case", the diaper bag was also ready to go, the birth plan had been written, revised, and given to all the OBs in the office, his room had been set up for MONTHS...

This time...The car seat is in Benjamin's room...our bags are NOT packed (although one bag is STILL packed from Keaton, hahaa!!!) the diaper bag is....has anyone seen the diaper bag??!, There is a trash bag, a box of share shop items and another randomly filled box sitting on his changing table, I'm still looking for a glider/rocker on Craigslist (to replace the one in Keaton's room that will go to B's room...) birth plan...yeh, haven't gotten there yet...much less given it to even one of the midwives...wow...we're SO far behind! Seriously, if labor were to start right this second...I don't know what I'd do!

The crazy news - yesterday (Wednesday) was FILLED with contractions. Nothing "timeable" - they were anywhere from 5 minutes to an hour or so apart. However, they were all real and, hopefully, all doing something.

We went to the chiro this morning. Benjamin is head down still (EXCELLENT news since he tends to flip between visits!) and my chiro sat down to have a "Serious" talk with me. She informed me that should labor stall (either at home or UNC), he should flip posterior (as Keaton did, so there's like a 79% chance he'll do the same thing...thanks Keaton!) or I just "need" her, to call! Day or night! As soon as she could get away and come to me she would! One more number to add to "the list" :) But it was very encouraging and meant a lot that she would go through that "trouble" (She was mad at some patients this week - she had 2 ladies end up in unnecessary c-sections because their babies went posterior and they [the moms] just gave up/in to the surgery! She couldn't believe it!) She showed me somethings that Zach and/or Faye can do until she can get there (or in case she can't come)

Keaton got adjusted as well and even said, "oh wow" haaha! He must have heard me say it enough times over the past few months! :)

OK, ok, the lima bean...

So, I went to make chicken divan for dinner tonight. Zach had already prepared the chicken for me last night and I was going to throw it together during lunch, put it in the fridge and then put it in the oven at dinner time. So I'm pulling out all the ingredients and I realize we don't have any broccoli. The only frozen veggies we have are an "Italian mixture." I sent Zach a text and he gave me the go ahead (I already knew that I couldn't stomach chicken divan and wasn't planning on eating it...at this point, I was very glad that I had already changed my dinner plans!) So I threw in the mixture, looking at the picture on the bag, I really wasn't sure if Zach would eat it or not...

Dinner time came, he's eating away and all of a sudden he looked at me and said, "There's a Lima bean in here!" He goes through and starts picking them all out...

Then...

He gave them all to Keaton!! Keaton loved them and ate a HUGE serving of this version of chicken divan.

He may have liked it....but I will make sure I have frozen broccoli on hand from here on out!

No more stories...too tired :)
