So this week in pictures is going to be on the rather short end. Surprisingly this past week was crazy busy but I was still able to manage posting quite a bit and therefore don't have any left over pictures to display except for this one of Jocelyn. She loves her sunglasses and asked that I take a picture of her wearing them...crooked and all! She was really proud of herself for putting them on all by herself - something that she's been working on for a little while now.
An update on baby news: last night I started to get contractions every 5 minutes for a good while. I was laying there timing them and must have gotten real tired of that because I woke up a short time later to find out that I slept for an hour or so. Got back to timing. Still every 5 minutes. Walking around didn't change things either. So after that had gone on for a good 3-4 hours, I called my doctor's office around 11:30pm. The on-call doctor called me back (sounding pretty tired) and asked if I was dilated. I told her that the past Monday at my appointment I was at a 2. She asked if there was any other symptom and I said no. She said that she didn't seem to think that I was in labor and could just stay home and wait until it felt like my cervix was dilating but also to not wait TOO long as it's my 3rd child. Yeah. Okay. That makes a ton of sense! How the heck am I supposed to know when my cervix is dilating? Frustrated with the conversation that made absolutely NO sense whatsoever to me, I went to bed - hoping I wouldn't end up delivering him at home! John mentioned that we had a tarp that I could use in the backyard if we needed to. HELLO????? I don't think so!!! A little traumatizing, don't you think? Not even an option! I know it's strange that I'm so concerned about knowing when I'm actually in labor (I'm sure it'll be pretty obvious!) but with Aubrey I was induced 6 days before her due date and in labor for 24 hours and I was at the hospital the morning they had scheduled me to be induced with Jocelyn but lo and behold I was already in labor on my own with her and had delivered her in just 4 hours. This time, I'm not being induced unless I go 7-10 days AFTER my due date of December 15th so this would explain my concern. Though I am glad I most likely won't be induced. NOT fun! So. That's my update at this point. Everything's done and ready so we're just playing the wait game. I have another appointment tomorrow (Monday) morning so more news to follow...

I understand your worry, really, even if it is your third child, you do forget, until all the pain comes back, then you all of asudden remember! Good luck with everything, cant wait to see pictures of the little man!
