My Escape Artist

I called the doc about my EKG results today and they said they came back just fine. I hadn't had any chest pain for a few days, so I wasn't too worried. It was nice to know though. I am 36 weeks and I have to to the doc every week now. I'm hoping she checks me for dialation tomorrow, but I'm not getting my hopes up about anything (maybe a little).We went to the Science Museum with Kristal and Nicolette this morning. I think all the boys had a good time. At one point, we were inside the kid's area, which is totally enclosed with a gate and everything and I see Finn and Noah off on the other side of the building, just wandering around together! I couldn't believe they had gotten out! They must have slipped out when someone else came in. Truthfully, they were sort of cute-like little partners in crime. THEN, later I was getting a lot of sciatic leg pain, so I checked on Finn and then sat down, and NOT EVEN 2 MINS LATER, he had disappeared again! I got a little frantic looking for him because I was afraid he might have gotten on the elevator, but then he came sliding down the 3 story slide! The slide appears to be very safe with totally enclosed stairs, so it wasn't a major issue, but I couldn't believe he did it all by himself! I walked him up the stairs so I could see him do it again and he was so cute. He sort of laid on his back and "walked" himself slowly down the slide while holding onto the center pole (it's a spiral slide). It was a very slow process!
Anyway, we have pretty much finished up Baby Girl's room, so I've posted a few new pictures. All we really have left is to put up her name letters on the wall, which of course we will be doing AFTER she is born.

Nesting!

I am in full-on freak-out nesting mode. Or, at least that is what I am going to blame my craziness on. I just want to throw everything in my house away! Maybe if we rearrange furniture it will help.

On Monday a big group of us went to the Science Museum. It was kinda cool going with a lot of people. We spent a long time in the kiddie area and then moved on to the giant indoor treehouse. I tried taking Finn down the 3 story slide and decided never to do that again! I was almost upside down by the time we got to the bottom. We ate and checked out the trains and airplanes too. I think a good time was had by all.

A rare shot of Finn and Sawyer:

Today, we all went out for lunch for Melissa's birthday. I was already super on edge that Finn wouldn't be happy at the restaurant and I was sorta right! Somedays he just flips out when older kids look at him funny and today was one of those days. He calmed down though and did pretty well though.

Happy Birthday Melissa!:

Family Day!

Scott had the day off today, so we all got to spend the day together doing fun stuff. I got to sleep in! When I woke up Finn was already a third of the way through Finding Nemo. This has become our morning ritual lately. He loves that movie! All I ever hear all day long is "Meemo, Meemo!" I've been trying to introduce other cartoons for a little variety.

Scott made us pancakes for breakfast! Finn only had a couple of bites though. That kid never eats breakfast! He rarely wants to eat anything but maybe some yogurt before noon.

Afterward, we all went to the Omniplex (I guess it's actually called the Oklahoma Science Museum now). I think we will be spending a lot of time there this next year because Sharyn bought us a pass! There are some great activities for Finn there and rocking chairs for me. :) Anyway, we had a really good time and Finn loved running around. He really enjoyed being inside the big tractor and airplane trainer. He loves pretending to drive. When we get in the car I usually have to tackle him so that he doesn't climb up front into the driver's seat.

After the Omniplex, we did a little housework while Finn napped and then went out for ice cream. We swung by Target and I added a few items to my baby registry. I am having my baby shower on the 26th! Yay! I'm just excited we get to celebrate Baby Girl! Also at Target, we bought Finn a stepstool for the bathroom. Now he can do scary stuff like this:

Scott is now taking Finn for a bikeride and I am getting some much-needed alone time. This is the last month that I'll be working Tuesdays, which means that I'll only be working Fridays starting in August! It's a little scary for me because work is how I get out of the house alone! I'm hoping that I can find some other way of getting alone time in the middle of the week. Luckily, I have my mom's group which does mom's night outs and book club.
