December 5th, Jillianne will make an appearance!

We went to the doctor yesterday, and first thing my doctor said was "Remind me again of the sizes of your other children?" So I told her Tyler was 9lbs. 12oz at 40 1/2 weeks, and Kayla was 8 lbs. at 38 weeks. She said "ok, I think we want to talk about an induction date due to the size of your baby and long recovery times. " Yeah!! She took the words right out of my mouth. I had practiced what I wanted to say to her, and that was exactly it. It was so hard to get around after I had Tyler, I was miserable for a long time. With Kayla it was just a few days, so those few extra pounds made such a difference on my body. So it looks like I will go in to L&D on Thursday night to administer this stuff that makes my cervix soften to get ready for the pitocen on Friday morning. I'll sleep there Thursday night, and I guess around 6:00 Friday morning they'll start the pitocen. I"m so anxious and excited!! Just one week after Thanksgiving!!! Woo hoo!!!

Suprise, Suprise!!!!

So I got the biggest suprise of my LIFE on Friday night. My mom and step dad flew up here to Wisconsin to see me! For those of you that know me, you know what a shock that was! It all started around a week before they came. I was planning on going to my cousin Kati's baby shower in Zion on Saturday. My husband was trying to come up with all kinds of excuses for me not to go. First he said "you can't go, becuase we have to go get a christmas tree". :) A CHRISTMAS TREE?????? I was just thinking, "geeze, can't that wait just ONE day??" Then he made up this big story of a friend and his wife were coming over, and they were bringing chicken for lunch for us, so I had to be home for that. I knew something was fishy... Who brings over CHICKEN???

They were flying in on Friday night, so he said he was going out with some friends and he would be back around midnight. When he came in the door at around 11:30, I was suprised cause he was early. Then he said "hold on, I think I left the lights on in the car" and went back outside. About 5 seconds later I look up and my MOM is standing there!!!! I swear, I almost fainted. I thought I was dreaming. How crazy!!! My mom is terrified of flying and hasn't flewn in 25 years, and for the time I"ve been living here in Illinois/Wisconsin, she has never came here to see me. This is the first time. I"m so thankful she came and we got to spend a nice, wonderful weekend together. I love her so much! The kids really connected to her really well, and I think it was nice that they actually know, and remember her now. We didn't do much, cause it was so "cold" (according to my mom), but we did go out to Red Robin for dinner one night. Mile and Jon also made us all a very nice dinner on Saturday night. And leave it to my mom, she comes up here to my house and starts folding my clothes, and cleaning my house!! I love my mommy!!
