So I have 23 days left till my inducement. I am 35 weeks along. I went in today and am at 50% effacement and dilated to a 1 and at -2. So I'm starting on my way. My doctor says he's confident that I will make it to May 23rd but what he doesn't know is that with Isaac I went from 1/20 to 3/80 in a week. So I'm still taking my medicine at night to calm my contractions. And I'm trying to take it easy. But the doctor says that my body will go if it wants to. Josh is done with school after next week. He has a practical on Wed. and a test on Friday. Next week he has a test everyday but he's done after Thurs until JUNE 9th. I have to make it that far.

Wish us LUCK!

So this is my tribute to Tyson, we where such good friends back in the day. I remember how we used to sit in his bed and read stories to each other. We always had so much fun. Another such time was Halloween when we read more books ( what can I say, books where our thing). As you can see below, Tyson is showing us his favorite book. I had leukemia back in those days which is why I am so sickly looking. Who really shocked me was the little girl, Cammy. She changed a lot! You gentle readers might also recognize a few other friendly faces from bygone days.

So this would be where I would post all about Isaac's 4th birthday.

Unfortunately Josh misunderstood me and deleted ALL of the pictures and videos from that day.

So you won't get to see all of his preschool friends and the little party we threw there with his cute crown they made him. And you don't get to see how excited Sydney was to be able to go to school with Isaac. You also won't get to see the video of everyone singing him happy birthday and Isaac blowing out the candles.

Also that night we took him to "old McDonald's" McDonald's for dinner and the super cute pics of him and Sydney playing in the play area. And pictures of all the cool spiderman stuff he got.

Not to mention the video of Isaac saying thank you to his grandparents for the thoughtful gift that where sent.

Now I think I'm done venting.

An honest misunderstanding as upsetting as it was.

Yes I still deeply love my husband!!!!

Our baby came early!!!! As you can tell I am very excited (me being Josh). We named him Judge. Very healthy and large for a newborn with a slight hint of someone that I can't put my finger on. It must have been the forget me now.

So I was looking at my blog and thought... "why do I have first and last names on my fellow bloggers. That doesn't seem to be the safest way to do things." The Soptichs are probably the safest since they have cool nicknames for everyone. As I'm not that creative I just took your first names off. Sorry I didn't think of it sooner.

So 80 degrees and pouring down rain.. a perfect opportunity to let them try their new umbrellas out. You see I've finally come to grips that even though I was raised in WA state that I actually do need an umbrella. Unlike WA, 2 seconds in Florida rain and you are SOAKED! A drowned rat!!! And its horrible to share an umbrella with someone who is only 2 feet tall and wants to hold it. So they have their very own umbrellas and they have already come in handy.

Yep I'm down to wearing the only thing that fits me... the all flattering... Motherhood maternity overalls. At least they are a big size so I can still let out the buttons if I get REALLY desperate. And of course my flip flops which I used to wear all the time by choice and now have been limited to only them because I don't fit my other shoes.

And please note that I didn't do my hair or makeup today. I was doing really well... 4 days in a row!
41 days to go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Isaac plays tour guide for our apartment as Sydney wonders around in her life vest just in case of a freak tsunami.
