(insert Jeopardy theme song here)

Well... I'm still here and still pregnant. We are down to 5 nights of sleep left without a newborn in the house :)

There is a sign in our neighborhood that says our water is going to be shut off from 10pm until 6am on September 13th. We are assuming they mean "starting" on September 13th because it's a little unclear....either way.... we have been joking that I'll most likely go into labor right in the middle of that when neither one of us will be able to take a shower which is the first thing I wanted to do when I went into labor with Audrey. figures. :) of course if I do, I'll be thrilled (except for the pain part...)

I'm trying to think of what else we have going on...this baby-waiting thing has kind of taken over... Audrey is as cute as ever. She makes us laugh so much.

Yesterday she was so excited when she woke up from her nap because "the rain was turned on" outside.

Let's see....she has a new found obsession with Dora the Explorer which goes against every grain in my body.... and everything I said I would and wouldn't do when she was born. It's funny how desperate times call for desperate measures..... When I'm exhausted and having contractions and she says "mommy...can I watch Dora again?" it is really hard to say "No honey...let's play play-doh instead" Dora has become a much closer friend than I ever anticipated.

She seems to grow more and more aware of Ava every day. She talks about how mommy and daddy are going to bring her home from the hospital and that she's going to cry a lot and that Audrey is going to "rock-a-bye baby her" and play toys with her. She's also fascinated by Ava's bed situation...from the crib in Ava's room to the pack n' plays set up both in our bedroom and downstairs.... We'll see how this transition goes...

Oh...and my favorite story of the week. She was demonstrating to Ryan how she was going to help change Ava's diaper. She slung one of her dolls up on the changing table, grabbed a diaper and proceeded to attempt to climb up the side. Ryan stopped her and suggested that wasn't such a good idea...so she pulled the doll back down and grabbed a wipe and started rubbing at her nose. She then said, "I'll get her gold" (which is what we call Audrey's boogers so she'll let us clean them...)

Oh...and the other morning she woke up and told me that she had an elephant in her ear and she wanted me to clean it out....and last night my stomach was growling so loudly that it scared her and she kept asking if it was going to "get her."

OK.... off to watch the Braves....
