Early Cold Tball Game

This weekend we had a double header, and it's actually pretty cold out now. Thankfully the sun was out, and we played on the grass since the field was muddy. Norman got his license (yay!) so he drove himself home from work and was awake enough to attend the game too. Lucas did well, except it still isn't a cohesive process for him; we are always all yelling, "drop the bat and run now! first base!" or, "throw the ball quickly to first base!" It's still cute to watch and I am sure he will be even better next year. He seems most interested in soccer now, so after Frankie arrives and things settle down, i'll look into the indoor soccer. Olivia enjoys dance, but it's very expensive for what it is, so I don't think we will be renewing this december. She is interested in gymnastics and I think she would do well in it.

     Here are some videos from the game. A few of the boys on the team are a year older and that year makes a big difference. This one kid throws the ball with such force and hits it well too! Fun to watch. And then little Lorelai makes it look so easy and fluid :) There are only a couple more games---and no, Lucas still doesn't have a uniform...:(

     Then we got a call that our recliner was ready to be picked up. We found a recliner at a good price at Ashley Furniture, and it's very comfortable! Looks nice too. I know it will come in handy when breastfeeding Frankie soon, so the rule is, whoever is holding Frankie, gets to sit in it :) For now, the kids checked it out for me, and passed out:

   My new extremely exciting hobby, is jigsaw puzzles. I did a 500 piece Christmas one from Hobby Lobby in one day, so we got a 1000 piece one of a landscape in Austria. Then Susan and I finished it and John went out and bought me a 2000 piece one of a pretty landscape in Italy. I am still working on it, but it's twice the size and has lots of water...so its gonna take some time :) I enjoy it though. John cross-stitches, while I my puzzle, and we listen to music while the kids play.

   On the baby front....I am anxious and ready for Frankie to be here already. My back aches (especially after sleeping in my bed...I think it's not firm enough...) my flat feet feel even flatter like I am wearing down the bones in my heel, and my heartburn..burns. My clothes barely fit. I am 37 weeks (considered full-term) tomorrow, then I have an appt on tuesday AM. I predict I am already about 4 cm dilated (which I was for a week or so with both L& O) so when I get my first bad contraction, I am going in....it's going to be hectic with Norman and Susan working nights, and L & O tagging along, and the hospital is further from us this time. I also go into labor in the wee hours of the morning, and get to the hospital to be told I am 7 cm etc..I pray it goes smoothly and safely....and preferably this month! I really hope he comes before Halloween...The full moon was friday though, so all I can do is wait...and do my pelvic circles lol..Lucas will join me and ask for a "looly loop" :)  That's about all the updates for now...hope for a more exciting one next!
