Nighttime Adventures

Yes, still waiting! Besides having even more pressure in my back from this baby already trying to drop out than last week, not a lot of other activity. Still off and on, I have massive cramping and real contractions, but nothing that seems to stick around. Progress, progress....right? All signs that prodromal labor is only something of the past?? :)

However, I just wanted to document a couple of our lastest nighttime adventures in our house.

Saturday night, Lacy was sleeping in her baby sister's room because we were thinking MAYBE that would be the night. There is a full bed in that room and Lacy has the queen in her room. SO, just in case I put her in the small bed so my parents could use the queen if needed. Well, Lacy was hyped up and having one of those nights were she was just chatting, singing, and playing forever in her bed, unable to unwind. She never gets out of bed, just chats away. However, over the monitor I hear her start to cry and say "I want my blankie" I knew she dropped it off her bed and would not even climb out to get it, since she is supposed to stay on her bed. I get up to the room, open the door...and see that she is wrapped under the curtain, pulled the blinds apart, looking out the window. She was relieved I came to fetch her blankie, which fell between the wall and the bed. I retrieved it for her, but then told her she can't play in the curtains or blinds. Her crying and desperate response...."But, I want to get married." and she looked up at me, tears streaming down her face. I TRIED my best not to laugh. See, she was attempting to wrap the curtain around her head like a veil. I assured her that she COULD get married, but not with a curtain, surely we could do better than that, but she wanted to get married RIGHT then, and eventually, I got her calmed down and assured that she can get married, just not now. :) She was SO set on getting married. She is SO facinated by it right now and beginning to understand the concept.

Monday night, Lacy wakes up crying quite hard at 1am, so I go in to check on her. This is what she tells me "I want to wear a pretty dress mommy". So, I respond.."oh, we can wear a pretty dress in the morning, that will be fun for wake up time" To which, she begins sobbing, "I want to wear one NOW, it's wake up time, mommy". It took her a while to get over the fact that we were not going to put on a pretty dress at 1am in the morning, while still in bed.

At least it is not a boring dull wait for baby girl #2 at the Tofslie household. Thanks, Lacy:)
