SINGLE DIGITS & 7 Useless Facts
We are in SINGLE DIGITS!!! Just 9 days (or sleeps for you Canadians) until Riley comes!!!!! Wow!!!!!!!!!
Shelly's still holding up. She had a three hour business meeting to attend this morning. Maybe sitting in a meeting that long will send her into labor. One can only wish!
Last week I was tagged by several people to complete a Meme. I totally don't know what a Meme is but I'll play along. The object of the Meme is this: Name 7 facts about yourself that you want people to know about. (I don't know if I want people to know about them but hey, it's all in fun.) Then tag 7 people and they should do the same. I've thought about this for days and am now finally ready to provide you with seven useless facts about me.
Fact #1: I'm totally obsessed with the Gi.rls Ne.xt Do.or. You know, the TV show about H.ugh Hef.ner, Playboy Extraordinaire, and his three live in Girlfriends. For some reason it fascinates me. I can't believe 1) They live like they do, and 2) They can at times be so incredibly intellectually challenged. Love it! Shelly thinks I'm nuts.
Fact #2: My feet look like I'm a direct descendant of Fr.ed Flin.tstone. They are wide, flat and fat. They're so wide I have a hard time finding shoes ANYWHERE that fit me. Yes, even D.SW, the gigantic shoe warehouse struggles to carry enough wide width shoes for my fat feet. Hopefully Riley WON'T inherit this from me.
Fact #3: Dir.ty Dan.cing came out on DVD when I was in High School. I developed a hugh smash on Pa.trick Sw.ayze. My friend borrowed me her VHS copy and the night before I gave it back to her I stayed up ALL NIGHT watching it because I couldn't get enough of him. Weird!
Fact #4: I truly believe cookies should become the fifth food group. Wouldn't life be great if everyone could claim "a cookie a day keeps the bad thoughts away". MMMM....cookies.
Fact #5: I love Sunday NFL Football!!!! I love to sit on the couch, eat football munchies, and watch football ALL DAY!
Fact #6: I can't stand it when cupboard doors or drawers are left open. Drives me nuts! I have a dear friend who I lived with at one point. (You know who you are 9.) She always left the bathroom drawers open in the morning. She claimed, "She was running late for work and didn't have time to shut them." Drove me nuts. Still does to this day! Please, everyone, it only takes a half a second to close a drawer or door and doesn't require much energy. Please, for my sake JUST DO IT!
Finally, Fact #7: I love Belle. Not Day.s of our Li.ves Belle but Be.auty and the Be.ast Belle! I love that she loves books! I love the storyline. I love the Beast. I love, love, love that he gives her a library. I solemnly swear, that before I die, I will be Belle for Halloween one year.
Everyone I know has been tagged so I'm not tagging anyone!
And, finally, just a reminder...ONLY 9 DAYS!!!

All Went Well Today
Today was a good Tuesday. Whew. We're so apprehensive about Tuesday's.
First, the OB, and all went well there. Shelly's blood pressure was fantastic. There was no protein in her urine for the third week in a row! She's not dilated at all but Riley has dropped a little.
Next, NST. Again, all went well. Amniotic Fluid was good at 15. Shelly was having zero contractions. Riley did exactly what she needed to do and we were out of there in no time.
Next, Lawyer's office. All of our paper work is signed. Now we just wait for Riley to be born to file the papers and wait for our court date.
Next, Primary Children's to have the Car Seat installed. We're so glad we did this! She went over several things with us that we'd never have thought about. Now we have a Car Seat in our truck! Wow!!!
Finally, lunch. Yummy Salmon Tacos. Then home to do more chores. I don't think they'll ever end.
Shelly felt pretty good today. We had fun together and laughed A LOT! I think we almost sent her into labor because we were laughing so hard at one point. It's so nice to laugh on Tuesday instead of crying.
Riley's been super active. Shelly keeps telling me "Riley's trying to bust out again." She was a total wiggle worm during the NST. She's such a sassy a little girl. I can't wait to meet her!
Just 11 days to go!!!
Thank you all for your love, support, and well wishes. It means a lot to know there are so many people out there praying and sending good vibes our way. THANK YOU!
