Update on Life

     It has been the longest time since I have written a new blog, I thought I should update the two people that read this!  The summer has been spectacular.  I finally have time to keep the house generally clean all the time, I have finished the baby's room, sewed a few clothes for the baby, we have visited family and most of all I have been reading books.  I absolutely love to read and now that I have no school I have time to do it.  Every time I see my mom she has a new stack of books for me. I have read all sorts of books including kids books, books about the Nazi regime, medical dramas and love stories.  I am currently in the middle of the No. 1 Women's Detective Agency.  It is a pretty long series (8 books) and I love them.  If you have some time you should definitely try them out. 
     Will has been working constantly at the football stadium.  I never knew that the off season would be so busy.  He works about 9 hours a day at least 5 days a week.  But he loves football and everything about it so I guess the long hours are worth it.  I am getting excited for the season to start.  I really like watching football games (hopefully Addi will feel the same).
     My brother left to go on his mission on June 30.  He is going to the Kobe Japan mission.  We were able to go to his farewell and hang out with him and the family for a few days.  I cant believe he is old enough to go on a mission; I feel so old. 
     I have 1 more week until my due date.  I am pretty sure that is going to be the longest week of my life.  We have already been to the hospital once with a false alarm.  I woke up Sunday morning at 3 in lots of pain.  I suck at figuring out what is going on with my body, so it took my awhile to decide that what I was feeling could possibly be real live contractions.  I woke Will up at about 5 and we went on  a walk to see if that would make the pain go away.  I most definitely did not.  At that point we packed up and headed to the hospital.  Once there they hooked me up to the contraction machine and I laid there for an hour.  My contractions where about 2 minutes apart.  After an hour they came and checked me and I had dilated a centimeter.  They declared me in labor. We were so excited!!!  Next me and Will had the joy of walking up and down the three halls of the hospital for an hour to see if we could make the whole process speed up.  After memorizing the halls on the first floor I was checked again and they decided that I was not going fast enough and it was time for us to go back home.  They gave me some pain meds to help me sleep and said "See ya later."  You will never know rejection until you are kicked out of the hospital after being told you where in labor.  We came home, I actually slept for a continuous hour and then I just relaxed.  My contractions continued to be a minute apart for the next 19 hours but they never got more intense.  That sadly meant no baby anytime soon.  The doctor said that he is pretty sure I will not go over my due date but we will see.  This child is extremely uncooperative and I just wish she would just decide to come out.  Will starts football camp on the second (conveniently that is the day she is due) and he must be there at least 9 hours a day.  It would be lovely if she was just a tiny bit early and Will would be able to spend a few days with her. 
     Hopefully soon I will be blogging about the birth of this girl.
