You know you live in KY when......

We decided to go to the Boone County Fair and walk around hoping I would go into labor. LOL but we also had a good time and check out what we saw!!! Lydia loved the horses but of course we didn't get a picture of the horses.

Enjoying Lydia

So the other night I experienced my first round of false labor. I didn't go to the hospital we just let it play out and sure enough it was false. I also decided that it would be incredibly early for this poor little guy to come. I also decided that I have these last few precious weeks with just my baby girl. Although it seems as if she is testing boundaries these days. I wonder if she can tell something that I can't. We did have a very cure wish I had gotten it on tape moment last night. She decided that it would be fun to play with mommy's big belly. But just as she started to rub it the baby kicked her and with wide eyed excitement she lets out a very happy scream and says baby baby. I reassured her that yes that is the baby, and she proceeded the rest of the night to come and try to feel him move. So as I enjoy these last little memories of a family of three I thought it would be good to blog about it.

Back for a long time

After a busy month of traveling we are finally back home to stay until after the baby is born. We had a great time in Virginia Beach and then flew up to New York for Melinda's baby shower and surprise it was a double shower for both her and I. Thank you Yvette and mom for planning that. We had a great time but are very tired from flying back. Now we are working on the next stage of our life as we finish preparing for the baby.

Happy Father's Day Joel

Today, we got to celebrate Joel's second year as a Father. We are looking forward to the next Father day where he will be a Father to both our munchkin and our little boy. Joel you are an amazing Daddy!!! I can't wait for the next 20 or so years to watch you as you are a daddy to our kiddos. I love you!!!

Trumpet of God

You all are probably thinking wow what got into Michelle she is going to be all spiritual. Actually I am not LOL!!! But you would have thought that happened tonight outside the way Joel jumped out of his chair in fear. We as a family were enjoying the nice evening outside and just sitting there having good conversation and Lydia was playing around in Joel's car. Well all of the sudden she lays on the horn and BAM!!! Joel is up and out of his chair like we were going to be raptured away. But no he was just living in fear of whatever that sound was. I couldn't help but bust out my chair laughing at him and as I write this I am still laughing about it. The funniest part about it is I have never been able to scare him half as bad as the sound of the horn in his ear and Lydia also scared screaming OUT OUT!!!. So it was most eventful night at the Leineweber house, wish you all could have seen it.

Sleeping well

Lydia has adjusted to her big girl bed really well. What we thought would be hard has been real easy. Although, one nap she crawled out of her bed and came banging on the door because she thought nap time was over. So I put her back in bed and told her to stay there until mommy came to get her and it worked. This morning however, daddy had to get her because she once again crawled out of bed and daddy had to put her back so she knows that she can't get out of bed until we come and get her. Other than that the transition has been good. She is battling an ear infection now, but she is the happiest even though she is sick. We are going on vacation next week and she will get to sleep in a big girl bed at her Nana and Pa's house. I will let you know how that goes.

We will see

I will update you all on how Lydia did on her first night in her big girl bed. She didn't like the fact that we moved her crib into the babies room and she kept trying to crawl back into the crib but we successfully put her to bed all snuggled up and she cried for a few minutes but we prayed with her and let her have her blankie and off we went. She didn't cry once we left the room. So pray that her transition goes smoothly.
