Don't Hate Us

Don't hate us for a few things. 

1. Because we haven't had our little one join our family yet.
2. Because we are changing our blog for hopefully the last time.  
     Why? Because this blog is set up to my old email, and is done on blogger. I like Wordpress better and once I get better at it then I'll be able to do all sorts of things with it. INCLUDING combining this blog with my BlackSheep lame-o blog and probably renaming the whole thing. 

What's in it for you: Well you will get fabulous updates from me, and if you are lucky maybe even Zack, but most likely me. Also you will only have to go to one place to see what's going on in our lives. I know right? double bonus. 

I don't think you all will mind to much BUT I do ask that you send me an invite to your private blogs to tbmckee19@gmail.com. that would be wonderful thank you.

My life As of Late

Things I have done lately...

Played water kickball with my young CubScouts it was a ton of fun and the boys had a blast. The boys were giving me a hard time about not playing so I thought wisely to myself "Self you can kick the ball a long long ways and easily clear the bases." Brilliant idea then everyone gets wet one last time. I kicked the ball WAY far and started a jog to first... then started to go to second and realized they had gotten the ball faster than I had thought and my "I cannot be thrown out" attitude got the best of me and I took off to second as fast as my wobbling body would allow. (Which I was told was pretty quick). Upon safely reaching 3rd base I knew I had hurt myself. I quickly ended the game and we handed out otter pops for the boys.  Zack and I drove some of the boys home and then I cried. Yes, good people it hurt that bad.  The following Monday I went to the doctor (because I see him every week now) and he informed me to avoid playing kickball at 9 months pregnant he also told me I had pulled just about every muscle on the left side of my body I would need to assist in getting London here. He also told me I was 50% effaced and dilated 1 cm. Whoot whoot! (you should have seen me walk priceless)  Here is how I got around our little abode.
Yes good people I used the baby stroller as a walker. Completely flattering picture as well I know.   In other news this past weekend we found Zack a pet or one he would like to have. On Sunday we went on a little adventure. Over in Round Valley (basically TQ Ville) is a guy who has a free petting zoo with all sorts of animals. Like big smelly Yaks, different breeds of Llamas, 100 beautiful peacocks, wild ponies, an African Bull with HUGE horns, a huge white dog name Cash,  and Zack's favorite baby raccoon's. He carried this little one all over the tour with us. 

Also family I usually go to the Doctor on Mondays just so you know and since it is Tuesday here is what you need to know. I'm dilated to a 1.5 cm, and 80% effaced. Which I didn't know what that meant so I asked the doctor and he said it's a really really good thing. (and no I wont explain it to you how he explained it to me.) 

Zack and I are both getting crazy excited about London's arrival (yes even the birthing part I am way excited for that as well). I've been doing some birthing homework and have decided I am going to try to do this naturally.  Bring it. If you have negative feelings about this... Go jump off a bridge.  :) I will not be listening to you at all if you try to talk to me about it. I am excited to try this method I was told/and have been studying/practicing for a few months. So gees Why not? What's the worst that could happen? :)  Anywho's I'm sure London will join us eventually and till then I am going to try to be patient. She is due on July 9, but the Doc is expecting her possibly a little earlier. I have had some sporadic contractions and am looking forward to making the drive to Logan next week to check on the little one.  Love you guys!
