Today is one week and one day before baby brother&#8217;s due date.  We&#8217;ve been incredibly antsy and impatient this time around.  We were still setting up the crib a few days before Jonathan was born.  Now we just look at each other and say, &#8220;why won&#8217;t this kid come out?&#8221;  Last Tuesday Renee had a doctor appointment and when the doctor checked her he first said, &#8220;My goodness, how are you walking?&#8221;  Then he said that she was 3-4 cm&#8217;s dilated and her membranes (amniotic sac) were &#8220;bulging like an old tire about to blow.&#8221;  Yes, our doctor is a hillbilly.<\/p>\n<p>We were so convinced her water was going to break next time she sneezed we had Renee&#8217;s mom fly in on Thursday afternoon.  It&#8217;s been great since she&#8217;s been here, but still no baby.  We go in again on Tuesday to see what&#8217;s going on.<\/p>\n<p>In other news, I&#8217;m back on the wagon again.  Running that is.  I gained the freshmen fifteen (again) when we moved back onto a college campus and started eating cafeteria food again.  The freshmen fifteen quickly turned into 25 and I finally got frustrated with creeping back up towards the weight I was at a year and a half ago.  So, no competition this time to get me on a strict diet and exercise routine, but I did make a New Year&#8217;s Resolution (in mid-March) to run 500 miles in 2008 or give up watching LOST.  You can see the progress in my monthly goals in the red box to the right.  So far I&#8217;m over 10% done.<\/p>\n<p>Welp, I think that&#8217;s it.  I&#8217;ll be sure to get pictures and info up as soon as baby brother gets here, so keep checking!  Thanks for praying we&#8217;ll have PATIENCE these last few days!
