All went well at today's appointment. Baby's current estimated weight is 7.5 pounds. I have started dilating - this is a change from last week.
We officially set the date for induction - the office called the hospital to reserve the appointment!

Playdate with Abigail and Samuel
I went to the Kenny Chesney show last night with Laura and Elizabeth. Clifton had to work, so Kevin watched Abigail and Samuel at our house. Abigail and Haley had a great time playing together, of course. Mr. Kevin got a taste of what it's like to take care of a baby again! Here's Samuel sleeping in our bed - Kevin made him a great protective barrier. This is so funny to me, because when Haley was a baby Kevin NEVER let her sleep in our bed.
Kevin took Samuel and the two princesses for a wagon ride.
This morning, Laura called to tell us that Samuel cut his first tooth last night! Laura and Clifton noticed it when they were feeding him this morning. Kevin said that Samuel did not want to be put down all night. When Samuel gets bigger we can tell him that he cut his first tooth while he was hanging out with Mr. Kevin.

Inside Out It
One of Haley's new princess dresses is a pink Barbie dress. She bought it with money the Banks gave her for her birthday. She has worn it almost every day this week.
The dress has a Barbie button on the top front piece of the dress. One morning this week, the dress was partially inside out. She looked at it and said 'I can't see the Barbie button. Mommy, will you inside out this for me?' I've never heard the term inside out used as a verb, but I knew exactly what she meant. I put the dress rightside out and got a prompt 'Thank you!' from Haley.

Prenatal Appointment #8
Everything went well this week at my prenatal appointment. The baby was in good position. She was moving around a bunch and had the hiccups while I sat in the waiting room. Of course, she stopped moving before the ultrasound started.
Baby's belly measurement put her at 40 weeks, even though I was a day shy of 36 weeks! With this and her other measurements, her estimated current weight was 8 pounds. The doctor said he didn't think that was right. I don't think so either - considering the fact that just 3 weeks ago, her estimated weight was a little over 4 pounds, and I haven't gained 4 pounds in 3 weeks. Still, she is probably going to be bigger than Baby Haley was!

Haley's 3 Year Old Checkup
Haley had her 3 year old checkup on Friday. She got her finger pricked AND a shot, and she didn't cry at all for either. The nurses seemed to be very impressed with this!
Her iron level was good, but her cholesterol was borderline - 198. Per our doctor, anything under 170 is good, 170 - 200 is borderline, and over 200 is high. I've had a few people tell me that the test results are NOT significant because she ate right before they did the test, but we probably need to be eating more veggies and less chicken nuggets anyway, so we'll work on that.
Haley's height and weight measurements puts her around the 50th percentile in both categories.

Spend the Night party with Miley and Pete
Haley's friends Miley and Pete spent the night with Haley after her party. This was Haley's first time having friends sleep over with her in her big girl room! Jessika watched the kids while the grown ups went out to dinner to celebrate Carrie's birthday. When we got home, they were fast asleep (good job, Jessika!).
The kids had a great time playing on Sunday, too. After breakfast, they told me they were going upstairs to play. I heard them heading up the stairs, and then it got quiet. I walked into the family room and saw them lined up watching cartoons on the stairs. I asked if they wanted to come back down and sit on the sofas to watch, and they said, no, we're going upstairs to play. They lingered here a little while longer, though - I guess when you're 3 and 4, it's just really tough to tear yourself away from Disney Playhouse ;)

Haley's 3rd Birthday Party
Haley had a bounce party for her birthday this year. She always has fun bouncing, and her party was no exception.
Here are Haley and her buddy Anna.
Is this against the rules? ;) Here are Abigail, Anna, and Haley sliding together.
Haley's cousins Abigail, Jackson, and Olivia.
Gracie and Gage were able to come to the party this year, too!
Some of the grownups seemed to have just as much fun sliding as the kids did ;)
Kevin had to assist Haley with getting close enough to her cake to blow out her candles.
Do you think Haley enjoyed her cup cake? Happy Birthday, Scooter!!!!!
