I got to go with Rhianna today to her midwife appointment. Since we’re headed out on a big weekend, the midwife brought in her little ultrasound and we got to see baby! Rhianna has been so concerned about position and this was reassuring to her to see everything is in place. She’s started dialating but it doesn’t look imminent, although everyone knows babies do what they want. It was so, so wonderful to hear that beating heart. It’s so hard to realize this is really happening, we are going to have another little baby in a very short time!

Mayah is pretty used to the whole process and makes herself quite at home. I had a moment of absolute contentment when we went to the waiting room to wait for Rhianna and Mayah came running and wrapped her arms around my legs and held tight because of all the people in the room. This girl does not do this so I just enjoyed the moment.

We made a quick trip to Toys R Us that ended up being fruitless although I got a little Graco car seat for the baby I bought her for Christmas. I wanted to have something to give her to help her be a good mommy, too. We then went to Target and I found the cutest little spring coat for her….I’ll get a picture of her wearing it when I take it to her tomorrow.

Rhianna had a very funny experience this morning in their new house. She wondered if Mayah’s room gets too cold so she snuck in to see how it felt. Mayah stood straight up out of a sound sleep. It was dark and Rhianna pinned herself against the wall and said she stood there a good 10 minutes waiting for her to lay back down. I can’t remember exactly how it went but at one point, Rhianna was trying to crawl out of the room with her belly dragging on the ground only to have Mayah see her and let out a blood curdling scream and then called for “Mama!!! Daddy!!!!” It woke Kyle up and he heard footsteps running and didn’t realize Rhianna was up. I’d have liked to have been a birdie in the house!

The sweater is coming along and remains enjoyable to work on. I hate when I feel pressure.

Tyler is a happy dude because we got a little portable dvd player for his netbook so when we spend time in the car, he has something to do.

So, what did you think of the Saints yesterday? We actually watched the whole game and there was lots of whooping and hollering in our house when it was clear they were winning! Who Dat????? Yahoo! And now I”m glad football season is over. lol
