The past week

This last week has been crazy. First, our air conditioning went out (well, kind of...it wasn't completely out but it was broken so we had to turn it on and off every hour or two and it just wasn't working right). Then Bryker got a fever which kind of turned into croup. The doctor prescribed a steroid for him to drink and after we picked it up from the pharmacy, we laughed because the drink was more than half of a sippy cup full. Yeah, he took one sip and he was done. Luckily we only had one bad night and then the croup was gone. On the bright side, Grandma Couser was in Indiana for business and then came and stayed with us for a few days. Bryker was thoroughly spoiled and I got some nice breaks. He scored a new Spidey suit...


And we went to the Choo Choo restaurant in Des Plaines. It's this cute little place that delivers meals on an electric train. Not only is the entertainment great for kids, but Gary gave his cheeseburger an 11 out of 10 and said we are definitely going back just for that.

The A/C guys came yesterday and put in a new unit so we are back in business! So now I guess we're ready to have this baby. My mom comes in tonight to stay for a week. Here I am at 39 weeks:

**I was really, really tempted to crop off my head in this picture but then I told myself, no I'm not that vain. (But really I am.) Oh yeah, and that is my Rick's College t-shirt from 1999. And guess what? It's a MEDIUM! Crazy how the styles and "tightness" of clothes have changed!

At my last doctor's appointment, he was checking the heartbeat and measuring the baby and then said this, "Unless you're hiding it somewhere, I would guess she's in the 7-pound range." I'm thinking to myself, you're seeing the full view so I don't know where I would be hiding anything. We'll see how close he is! Also, the hospital called today to remind me about my c-section tomorrow. Good thing...I almost forgot!!

We'll post pictures soon!
