Obviously STILL PREGNANT!
Just so ya know, the doctor wouldn't strip my membranes but set me up to be induced on thursday. I was pretty mad but now I only have two days and at least we can plan around it! Thursday at 730 I go in to have my water broken and hopefully a baby before Friday!

How to go into Labor...
Due to my family's tendency to have babies around 37 weeks and always before their due dates I planned to already be holding my son. Well, I go to the doctor for my 38 week appointment tomorrow, and I am soooooo ready to be unpregnant!!!! Since 36 weeks I have been trying to get him and there is no such luck, after my 37 week appointment, where my doctor refused to strip my membranes until 38 weeks, I was determined to prove to her that despite her medical training she was wrong and Charlie is ready to come out. I have walked quite a few miles and on Friday I cleaned and scrubbed the house like crazy, took my dog on a really long walk, got peppermint tea(YUCK), and drank castor oil (more yuck) and some other stuff, ahem, anywho didn't work!! Not a peep, just the regular contractions that aren't strong enough to do anything. Here's to hoping tomorrows appointment leads to a baby!

Baby Shower and FULL TERM
My best friend Kat so graciously threw me a great baby shower up in Idaho Falls. I can't believe how great family and friends I have! After the party there were only a few items we needed to pick up and now we are ready in that sense, my sister Katie gave me a bunch of clothes that her son RJ has grown out of and now we won't have to get Charlie clothes until he is 9 months! Thanks to all those who came to the shower! Here's the only pictures I took because I forgot to once everyone arrived!
Katie and RJ testing out my Mei Tei!
So another doctors update, I am 37 weeks and I thought I would be evicting and meeting Charlie but no such luck! I'm only 2cm, same as last week, and 70% effaced a little more than last week. I have been having contractions all week and I can feel him low down but I guess he wants to stay in! I tried to convince my doctor to strip my membranes but she said she won't until I'm 38 weeks. So I guess more walking and hoping that he'll come out!

The Rollover
So most of you have heard what happened. I came up to Idaho in our Honda to get it fixed and get Suzie fixed and stay the weekend for my baby shower (later post!). Larin wasn't going to come up but hasn't seen his family in so long he decided to make the trip even though he wouldn't get to stay long, so he headed up a day after me. I was just making me some dinner when my phone rang and it was Larin. He said "I just rolled the Durango"
"Huh, what?"
"I just rolled the Durango"
"Are you okay, were you wearing your seatbelt!!??"
There was a storm that had iced over I-15 in between Malad and Pocatello and Larin hit a patch and then hit a patch of dry road launching the SUV over a lane and rolling into the center median! He kicked the door open found his army first aid kit, wrapped his bleeding hand and found his phone and called me, his parents and his boss! Apparently they train those army boys pretty well. When he arrived at the Malad hospital they were very suprised that he was in such good condition and had taken care of his own bleeding. No broken bones, just lots of bruises, a few goose eggs on his head, and glass all over, also his bad back is acting up again. I was freaking out and having horrible cramps the whole ride to see him but when we walked in and he was okay I yelled at him, are you trying to make me have this baby!! The nurse said I better not go into labor because they don't deliver babies since it is such a small hospital and I told her if he is going to come out they are going to be delivering babies there. Luckily once I calmed down a little the cramping stopped, good thing too because Kathrine would have been very mad if I had my baby the day before the shower! We decided Larin is a lucky unlucky person considering if he had driven the honda instead he wouldn't be here! Here are the pictures of the durango, we are glad this car took the rolling so well!
