DRAMA!

Yesterday was quite the excitement filled day in our house...and not in a good way. As I was getting ready to go to the grocery store I walked from our living room through the kitchen towards the master bedroom. As I reached the hall, I saw and stepped in WATER, and lots of it, like an inch deep. Our washing machine decided to flood our laundry room, hallway, and into our bedroom. So, Patrick and I sprang into action ~ he got the wet/dry vac and started sucking out the water while I swept the excess water out into the garage. After what seemed like forever all the water was gone. Everything but our bedroom is tile (and if I have any say in the next year or so our bedroom will be tile also!) so the damage was not too bad. We did have to peel back our carpet, cut out part of the padding and dry out the carpet.
The repairman came out and after running the washer through several cycles figured out that our water level switch is broken. So instead of adjusting the water level, it just drained the excess out the bottom of the washing machine. Genius, right? After much thought Patrick and I decided we would go ahead and buy a new washing machine - we still had the ones that came with the house when we built in Cypress - and this morning we decided we NEEDED a matching pair (haha!). So, we set off and got ourselves new front loaders that will be delivered on Sunday. I am so excited! I know I am officially getting old when appliances excite me...30 is just around the corner!

Good News!

I had an appointment with Dr. Winkelmann yesterday. I mentioned to her that Will joined us early (37 weeks, 2 days), and was that an indication that maybe Scott would too?? I knew that her answer would be no, but after she said no, I told her there was no way I could make it to 40 weeks with this baby! She then said, "Oh, I'm not letting you go that far, we will induce...." So, I know that this little guy will at least get to join us by 39 weeks, which happens to be my birthday week! What a great 30th birthday present that would be, although I certainly would not mind if he came sooner! So, we know that in at least 7 weeks we will be a family of 4! I am so excited to meet Scott, and so are Daddy and Will.
His room is almost ready (ready enough for him, things not on the walls yet), his closet is organized, and Mommy is more than ready for this pregnancy to come to an end ... it is hot, I am big.
Will is so ready for his baby to get here. He refers to Scott as, "my baby", it is so sweet. He is so good with babies I know he is going to be a wonderful big brother and such a great helper to me. I have decided while I am on maternity leave he is going to be home with me a couple days a week. I want my alone time with Scott, but I also want Will to have that bonding time with his little brother.

In recent Will news, I was working with him the other morning on his letters and we decided to practice his name....

Let me tell you I am a proud Mommy!! He is identifying many of his letters, and we practice them on almost a daily basis. He is such a smart boy.

I just love this picture...he was hanging in bed with Mommy before bedtime.
