Just thinking about things...

I will be 35 weeks pregnant tomorrow. That means 5 weeks left or 35 days. That is not long. I have been having contractions for 30-45 minutes a day for the last few days and it just makes me think...is this going to be an August baby or will she make her debut in July? I am thinking July and hoping July...just not too early. But whenever she comes it is getting close and I am getting excited. I am ready to have her on the outside...there is so much more room out here :)

On the menu for lunch...

"Horn" Dogs. Yep. We went to Sonic for lunch and I bought Eden a corn dog which she happily kept referring to as a "horn" dog. I tried to get her to say the "c" instead of the "h", but the "h" kept coming out more than the "c". It was pretty funny. So we can happily say that we are ridding the world of "horn" dogs, one lunch at a time.

Father's Day

For Father's Day, Eden helped me make "Daddy-niel" a cookie bouquet. Daniel really likes space stuff so I found a rocket cookie cutter to add to my mix of stars. We barely finished it before he got home on Friday and he really loved it. Eden loved the cookies too :)

Naughty Ginny

Yesterday I overheard this:

Eden: "Ginny! You got to tiiiiime out!"

Ginny: meow

Eden: "Go to your room and think about it!" (in her most bossy voice, which, sadly, is pretty bossy)

Ginny: meow, meow, purr purr (Ginny just enjoys the attention, no matter what it is)

I asked Eden what Ginny had done to deserve time out and I never got an answer, but apparently it was pretty bad, especially if she had something to "think about".

A Trip to the Mommy Salon

Eden's bangs have been too long for a little while, so I decided to cut them. I have successfully cut her bangs in the past, so I thought this time would be no different. However, they are now too short. In my defense, it is hard to cut hair on a moving target. At least they will grow.

A Good Sunday

There's something special about family time, especially on a Sunday. We got to sleep in and then Eden requested waffles for breakfast (who am I to deny a girl her waffles). So we enjoyed a nice breakfast and then Eden wanted to watch a show about Jesus. So we watched a show about Jesus and then we listened to some nice church music while we played Finding Nemo Go Fish. Eden is getting pretty good at Go Fish...she now knows that if you ask her for something she doesn't have to tell you " No, Go Fish!"

Then we "snuggled" (per Eden's request) and watched a "show" until it was time to get ready for church. The talks in sacrament meeting were about reverence and they were really good. Of course, Eden was making friends with the people that sat behind us and wasn't being very reverent. Here are a few snippets of what she said:
"Hi what's your name?" (over and over)
"Oh no there's an itsy bitsy spider on my nose" (pretending)
"Draw me a picture of an elephant and a giraffe"
"Look! I'm dancing!"
"Oh a kitty, how cute. Awwww." (to a picture of a kitty)

She was extra chatty and then when we started singing the closing song she said: "Yeah! we made it! Time for nursery!" Daniel and I both couldn't help but crack up. She had a great time in nursery and promptly fell asleep on the way home. Not a bad Sunday at all.

A few recent funnies...

Things have been moving along here. Just waitin' for baby girl number 2 to get big enough to make her debut. Of course, there is never a dull moment with Eden around...

The other night at dinner she pushed back her plate and said "I just can't do it anymore" and kind of sighed. Sooo dramatic, but funny none the less. I informed her that was fine if she was finished but she would have to eat more dinner if she wanted the marshmallows she requested earlier. Marshmallows are a big bargaining chip...so she decided to finish her dinner.

Ginny jumped up on the couch with her one afternoon and Eden started petting and loving her and then she took her hands and squeezed Ginny's furry cheeks and said " I just love you". I used to feel sorry for Ginny, but she hangs around and asks for more, so it is her own fault ;)

And finally, I put a movie on for her the other night and she told me "Thank you, my friend." Well, you are welcome my little friend. Man, I love that girl.
