this week so far....

we went to ikea a few days ago

and bought a crib for henry that we won't set up until we move

we will definitely miss having an ikea so close!

 we also went to an indoor garage sale of sorts 

and hazel carried eleanor like a baby
i love these cute girls

i really couldn't ask for a nicer big sister for all these little ones

 eleanor is getting jealous already

she got mad at me when i told her not to get in henry's swing or cradle

and tried to shut me out of his room...

 this was my last sunday before henry's born

i'm so glad i could find something to wear

it gets harder and harder to fit anything by the end

noah and hazel have made up their own club recently that usually takes place when they should be sleeping...

but they had a meeting in our bed the other morning and i thought they were so cute cuddled up

 michael FINALLY turned his thesis yesterday

such a relief

i spent like 3 hours proof reading it for him on sunday

not fun...

we went to the temple for family home evening yesterday
we had grand plans of a spiritual lesson, taking baptism pictures of noah, etc.
but after a few short minutes and a super short lesson, all the kids needed to use the bathroom
so we left
and went to the byu creamery for dinner and dessert instead
which was also fun

 last night we were reading scriptures

olive doesn't normally participate

she usually puts herself to bed when we start or plays

but last night she grabbed her tiny book of mormon

and every word noah said, she repeated

it was so funny

i think she may have thought she was actually reading :) 

at my last ob appointment my dr said to head to the hospital if i have contractions 8 minutes apart

we timed them last night and they were consistently 7 minutes apart....

but i don't feel quite ready to go to the hospital because we don't have our help here yet

i'm going to wait it out and see how it goes today

i'm hoping to still make it until thursday or friday 

but i don't want to labor unnecessarily or add any risk... 

henry may be here sooner than friday
