I have a blog???

Once again I have fallen off the blogging wagon. Please forgive me. I will try to get everyone caught up with what we have been up to here in Illinois. Let's see where to start...
April-
The weather started to turn nice, but then it didn't.
My little library got a new to us Book Mobile that I got to help create, stock, work in and manage. So I was a bit busy getting all that ready. I was able to do about 2 weeks worth of stops before riding around on very bumpy country roads came to be too much for my ever growing belly to handle. I look forward to riding again without the bump, because practically bouncing out of the seat reminds me of road trips back in the day with my grandparents. They had a big van with a couch that we would bounce off of when it got too bumpy. Let me just that was the seat we all fought over!

Our Mobile Branch!
myself, my boss (Laura), and Library Board President. This made the local paper.
Killian stealing the show with her balloon wings and wand. We had a balloon artist named Zany Janie at the launch party.
1 of the rare pictures of me pregnant. I was 32 weeks at this point.
I turned the Big 30! Killian and Sean made me a wonderful dinner and a beautiful cake. Sean caught me several times sitting at the table eating it straight from the pan with a fork. I did not let him take pictures of that.
Killian really liked adding sprinkles!
Easter eggs were hidden and found. The lovely bunny left us lots of candy, that mommy so didn't need to eat.

May-
Finally the nice weather has stuck around. We have been cooking out a lot, hanging outside with the neighbors and playing with all Killian's outdoor toys. So this means Sean and I have already been burnt, more so me.
Big Sister Class- Sean and I signed Killian up for a Big Sister/Big Brother class at the hospital where she was born and where Jameson will be born. She loved learning all about babies and how to hold them, why they cry and what to do to help out mom and dad. She was, like always, the center of attention. I really don't know where she gets this from. She had everyone laughing and so impressed with her personality. The girl next to us wanted nothing to do with her soon-to-be sister and was not a very happy camper. We got to take a trip up to the maternity ward and saw a new little baby girl. Killian was so in love with her, and I totally wanted to take her home with us. She was about a day old and only weighed 5 1/2-6 pounds. I told Killian she was almost 2 of those babies and all the moms around us were shocked.
Mother's Day- What was my big present for Mother's Day?? A big long nap! Yes when you are 35 1/2 weeks pregnant with a toddler and working full time still and nice relaxing day with a nap is perfection! After our family nap we headed over to my mom's house. We got to hang out with my mom and stepdad, my brother-in-law Dave, a very pregnant sister Sarah (she was 39 weeks) and my nephews Adam and Sam. It was a beautiful day and the food was even better.
Sean turned the BIG 30! Killian and I made him a special cake for his birthday. And we got him some fishing equipment, a fishing license and a fishing set for Killian. He is very excited to take Killian fishing since he heard the new song by Trace Adkins called "Just Fishing". Our amazing neighbor James played it for me from his truck when we were sitting out by a fire and I about cried. So now Sean and James are ready to take Killian fishing all the time. And she is ready to catch fish to eat!
Happy Birthday Sadie! My sister had her baby on Thursday, May 12th. She was scheduled to be induced on Friday, but Sadie was not having it. Unfortunately for my sister by the time she got to the hospital the doctor informed her she was too far along for an epidural so she had to go natural. Sadie was born about 2 hours after she arrived weighing 8 pounds 13 ounces. This is the first girl on my brother-in-laws family in more then 3 generations. They are all so excited and I have a feeling she is going to be spoiled!
Sadie and her big brother Sam!

Mooches!
Weekly doctor appointments. I have about 3 1/2 weeks left before Jameson arrives. Sean and I just started cleaning and rearranging space for him this weekend. Yes, we are both really good at procrastinating. All that we have left is to go through his clothes and get them arranged in Killian's room with her. She is very excited to meet her little brother. At my appointment on Friday the 13th the doctor took my measurements and chuckled to himself saying "oh this is not going to be a little boy". I am still holding out that he could in fact be a smaller baby. And by smaller I mean under 9 pounds. I still have the okay to try for a VBAC. In the next 2 weeks I will get an ultrasound to get a guess on his size and from there we will find out if we have the green light or if I will be scheduled for a c-section. Either way, we just want a healthy baby boy and mommy.
