Jekyll and Hyde

I swear that these days Mckaley has a split personality. Its driving me crazy! She will be the innocent, darling, happy, relaxed girl that I love so much and then BAM! she takes the crazy juice and becomes Mr. Hyde battling every move I make and seemingly doesn't appear to have a conscience at all. I have all these excuses in my head for her: new baby coming, new preschool, being three, etc, etc. but in reality I don't care what the reason is I JUST WANT IT TO STOP! I swear that she alone will put me into labor.

Speaking of labor, many of you have asked so here are the details for Baby Brother: his original due date was Feb 20th which would put me at about 38 weeks. The 20 week ultrasound moved his date up to Feb 14th (Valentines baby). I've gotten two exams from my OB. The first at 37 weeks I was only 1 cm dilated so basically delivering early was not looking promising. At my next apt I was 1.5 cm dilated, 50% effaced, and baby was at a very low station in my pelvis. So, I thought maybe I would go into labor this week- no such luck. I'm not dying to get him out yet though so I'm okay with it. I figure whenever he is ready he will come. He probably is hearing the crazy antics of Jekyll and Hyde (Mckaley) outside of the womb and is like, "Hell no-I'm not going out there. That sister is C-R-A-Z-Y!" haha Anyhow, tomorrow I go back again for another exam so I'll keep you posted.

Oh, and as for a name. Tyler and I decided on Caden. Then two days later I had major anxiety over the popularity/trendiness of it and wanted traditional Michael. So, basically we still don't know. It's looking like Caden, but if he pops out screaming Michael in my ear, I may make a game time decision to pull a switcheroo. We will see :)

Oh Megs! The joys of children!!! Trust me...Mckaley is normal. I don't know why they call it the "Terrible 2's" because Will was an angel in his 2's. Ok, I may have forgotten because his baby book says he took a sudden turn towards Mr. Hyde at 18 months. But, looking back now, I can tell you that 18 months -2 years was NOTHING compared to his 3rd year! YIKES!!!! I'm dreading Ash's 3rd year! Will then turned 4 and is back to Angel!! So, after talking with my MIL, the even years are wonderful and the odd years are HELL! Sorry :( Hope you're doing well. Can't wait to see pics and hear all about Baby Brother! <3

Did you go to the dr yet? Any more dilated? I was 1 cm dilated one week and then did a lot of walking and the next week I was 4... so if you feel like you want him to get the show on the road, go for a long walk! :)
