A Quick Update

I was waiting to pull pictures off the camera to post, but realized that a few friends and family are reading this blog to get baby/delivery news so I figured I would post a quick update. We went to the Dr. today for our weekly appointment and there have been no changes. The baby is growing and has a healthy heartbeat. I am not showing any signs of being ready to deliver so we'll just keep going weekly for the next couple of weeks. We moved our appointment to Tuesday of next week because Mondays aren't good for Martin's work schedule - so my previous estimate of a 10/21 birthday for Kiley is likely to be 10/22 (or 10/29, but I'm really hoping for 10/22). I like even numbers more than odd, and the sooner the better. It would be nice if there is a week between her birthday and Halloween so she can have her own party each year and not have to roll it into some kind of Halloween shindig unless she chooses that.

We had a busy weekend - Sydney had two soccer games, Jake had football, and Sydney cheered at her first game. Jake WON!! They had a big win on Saturday morning and were so excited. They really focused on correcting mistakes they had made in the past and they played great offense. It was very exciting. Sydney's team won one game and lost the 2nd by 1 point, but she really hustled and scored a goal on Saturday. It's been good that the last couple of teams they have played have provided some competition for them - I think they had won every game so far up until Sunday. Sydney's first impression of cheerleading is that it's kind of boring. But, her regular coach was out and so things weren't as organized or high energy as I think they will be. I heard from another parent that the coach may miss 1/2 of the season because of traveling, so that's not ideal, but we'll see how it goes. She does seem excited to learn the cheers and she looks adorable in the outfit. We will post pictures soon!

We continue to make baby steps towards being really ready for the baby, but I feel like we're going to be in good shape. We found and bought a glider/rocker today off of craigslist. I had been reluctant to spend a ton of money on something we would only use for a year or two. But, when they come up for sale they go FAST so I was about to cave and buy one new. Now we won't have to...

I know this isn't a very exciting post - I'm not feeling really entertaining these days - just ask the kids or Martin :). But, it's only a few more weeks and we'll get to meet our sweet baby girl. We can't wait!
