just girls...

The boys left for their Father/son camp out today.  This was the first year that they actually left early enough to go fishing, and set up their tent before dark.  Ellie cried because she wanted to go :( Lately, when she is sad she'll go put herself in her room, shut the door and belt out a long cry and then come out of her room feeling better.  It's the saddest thing, but I think it is very mature of her to do her crying tantrums in private :) I told the girls we were going to have a fun filled day of "girl stuff".  We went to Ellie's dance class, ate dinner at pick-up-sticks (I had a huge craving so we drove all the way out to Tempe), and then we went to Ikea (haven't been there in ages).  We got home around 7:00 and the intention was to play "beauty shop" (which consists of soaking our feet (Ellie loves this), painting nails, and trying new hair styles.  I just couldn't get into it tonight.  I suggested we lay in bed and tell funny stories...bless their little hearts they went for it and that is just what we did.  Audrey's stories were the most hilarious thing.  She would talk 100 miles a minute but nothing made sense.  Ellie and I laughed, which convinced Audrey that she needed to keep telling her stories. :) We finally settled down and we were all asleep by 8:00. ahhhhhh...so nice!  I am now awake...1 a.m. wishing there was someone to talk to.  While falling asleep I didn't feel the baby kick once (which is very uncommon), and looking back on the day I didn't remember any movement.  I started to worry, and went to the computer to google "no movement" on the internet.  Then, sure enough I felt a little kick.  I feel silly even thinking the worst, but I think as you get older you worry more.  I have my dr's appt. on Monday and I'm hoping for an ultra sound.  I am getting very anxious to have this baby.  I hope and pray all will go well.

Don't worry. I was a nervous wreck with Kate. She didn't move that much either but then again she was breeched and that explained it. It sounds like you had fun with the girls. I can't wait for Kate to get a little older to do that stuff with.

Oh Jilly...I remember those days!!! I was the same way. Just so you know, I pray for your and your baby every night. I love you and am getting so excited for you, but I know what you mean about getting older and worrying more! The things we go through!!! Happy Mother's Day!
