My girls are divas.
I had Chloe get dressed in a long sleeved shirt and jeans today and she came out of her room fully accessorized...it was raining buckets, but I guess it was still too bright inside.
And yesterday, Brynn was playing outside with the big kids while I made dinner. They snuck popsicles (thus the chocolate face) and then she decided to pick my flowers. Chloe came in to tattle notify me of the misdeed and Brynn picked another plant out of the ground just to be a stinker. So I made her take a time out. She rubbed the fake tears out of her eyes, pouted her lip just so, and looked at me, just to make sure I had noticed the signs that she wasn't happy about it.
I am 38 weeks. 6 days ago, I was dialated to a 2 1/2, partially effaced and the peanut had aready dropped (less heartburn, more potty trips, still no room for air in my lungs). The next day I lost my mucous plug (sorry for the TMI). I have been awoken at 4 am to time contractions 2 minutes apart for 40 minutes and then stood up to go gather my things and the contractions went away. I have taken LONG walks, pushing Brynn in the stroller, up steep hills...nothing. I have done squats repeatedly...nothing (but sore leg muscles). I have taken all the kids to Costco twice in one week...nothing but sporadic contractions. I have cleaned the house...and cleaned the house again...and vacuumed...and picked up toys...and done dishes...nothing...not even a clean house.
Despite my Doctor thinking I probably wouldn't make it to my next appointment (which is tomorrow), this baby girl is proving to have a mind of her own...sounds like she takes after her big sisters. Is there really enough room in this house for one more DIVA?
