Dr. Apt update

well, not much going on here. went to the doctor today and i'm still only a centimeter dialated and now i'm 50% effaced instead of 30%. so an itty bitty amount of progress but nothing to write home about. i really thought i was going to be farther along now since i started losing my plug and such. but no....not for me. i will carry this big baby till next friday for my csection. but that's ok, as much as i want to be done, at least the end is in sight and not so far away. i know that worse case scenario she will be here in ONE WEEK! in case you forgot, friday, march 13 at 9 am. plus my doctor is out of town starting tomorrow till next wednesday. not that it really matters since i don't really care which doctor is cutting me open. but my baby shower is saturday so i'm glad i get to be there for that.
some updates on the boys...zander is doing great in speech therapy and is liking going. he's getting really good at his c's (he usually uses a 't' instead of 'c'). and he loves preschool. i'm very proud of casey and the work she's doing with the kids. zander has some problems focusing, but casey has been really good with him and redirecting his attention. we went to sea world this last saturday and i swear that boy is going to be a scientist of some sort. he LOVES animals, fishes, everything. i finally let him feed the bat rays and he thought that was great.
as for ronan...oh where to start...that child is FULL of it! he's vocabulary is OFF THE CHARTS! since zander didn't start talking till he was well over 2, this is just weird to me. the boy picks up three to four words a day i swear! and he's speaking in full sentences. weird weird weird. however, his favorite is still squinting his angry eyes at me and saying no mama, no!! he and zander go back and forth from playing really well together, to screaming at each other. ronan has no concept of sharing and that drives zander crazy. but guess what ronan's latest obsession is? nemo...go figure. if you remember, zander and the same age was OBSESSED with that movie. and now ronan loves his 'fishies!' at seaworld the child went crazy! he absolutely LOVED the shamu show and just seeing all the fish everywhere. he was hilarious. i'm really worried about ronan though when jade is born. he's very possessive of me and still fights zander for "my mama!" and even though he loves babies, he wants mama to hold him AND the baby. in the morning zander and he race to see who can get to mama first and ronan gets ticked if zander wins. so i don't know how he's going to do...i'm sure he will act out which scares me cause the boy has a temper and can scream like a banshee! blah...oh well...
ben has a few leads on some jobs so please keep him in your prayers.
