Waiting game

My brother wants me to update our blog (even though he lives with us). I'd post pictures and make this an interesting post but our hard drive is gone so I'm borrowing a computer and can't upload any pictures. Which stinks even more considering I got a new camera that I've had fun messing with and have some pictures to post from it. Oh well. That'll have to wait for another day. It's the Canon Powershot SX130 IS if you want to check out the camera. It's got lots of pretty cool features. I'm not into photography (I do like looking at everyone else's pictures though) but I wanted a newer camera. The one we had was from when Jared got home from his mission and it was a pretty nice one but it was a 3.2 mp camera. And it was slow when I'd try to take pictures of the boys. This one is a lot faster and I can adjust settings so I can take better pictures of the boys. I'm loving it.

Another thing we've been up to lately is finally starting on our front landscaping a little. We got some retaining wall blocks and are building up our flower bed so that it is level from the porch to the sidewalk. We'll fill it in with dirt and I'll fill it with flowers. I'm really excited. It looks really good. Some day I'll post pictures of it!

The last thing I was going to write about is the waiting game. As of two days ago I have two weeks left until my due date. Last week when I went to the doctor he said I was a 4 and 60%. He was asking if we were going to have a Conference baby. I might have wondered if we were except that I did the same thing with both boys. I was always at a 4 or 5 when I went into the hospital to be induced (after going past my due date) and usually at a 3 or 4 a month before I was due but could never seem to go into labor on my own. So we knew we'd be back for my appointment this last week and sure enough we were. He checked again and I was pretty much the same. I'm hoping the 3rd time's a charm and I'll be able to go on my own this time. But if I don't and have to be induced, at least I know what to expect and I'm not too worried about it. I was hoping to be scheduled on my due date if I didn't go by then (for several reasons but not because I'm done being pregnant - I'm ok with going over) but he said they'll be out of town so I can either go a couple days before or the week after. I don't want to get started early - still holding out that I can go on my own - so we'll probably schedule it for the week after and hope that I go on my own. Until then, we're just playing the waiting game and hoping I go on my own. We're going to borrow a four-wheeler next weekend and hope that helps. I didn't try that with Crue when I tried pretty much everything else and since I like riding four-wheelers I'm all for trying it. :)

That's about it for us. Sorry for the post with no pictures. Maybe we'll be lucky enough to get our computer working soon. I'm hoping before she comes so we can post pictures when she's born!
