2 weeks today! That's my due date! Can anyone tell me how this date has come around so quick?! But 2 weeks yesterday is when mum and mick are coming over!! Which i'm so excited about! Don't get me wrong, i'm excited about looking after a new baby too.. but i also then remember how the baby comes out and everything afterwards! No sleep, poop patrol and baby sick!
As you can imagine the appointments to see people over here have gone a bit nuts, i have to visit the hospital three times a week for stress tests and measurements etc. Because my insurance doesn't cover for midwifery care its a OBGYN and i'm having to tell them not to worry about the predicted size of the baby! It's projected to be around 7.12lb which they are in a bit of a panic about, now considering Lucas was 8.13lbs and Ollie was 7.11lbs.. i'm not worried in the slightest. ..serves me right for marrying a 6'2 lanky git i guess!

Talking of 6'2 lanky gits, dear old hubby got into some trouble at the weekend. Surprise surprise all about a game of bloody football! The ref in Lucas' game was shocking, there were some terrible fouls going on, kids dropping like flies and the ref was doing nothing about it! That is until Lucas was fouled and injured, but instead of blowing his whistle and doing something about it, he walked away! Dave decided it was about that time to give him some "constructive criticism" which lead to the ref walking off the pitch.. and getting his supervisor to take over! Coach in the meantime came over and said, maybe next time let the coaches talk to the ref not you! Which is fair enough, but they weren't exactly doing anything about it either! Needless to say us as parents were sulking about the game more than the kids were! I don't think i've ever sworn so much in my life especially at a kids football game!

So, we've noticed over here what we took for granted in the UK. Number one being the roads! There are so many pot hols over here because of the bad winter, secondly is that everything is done with chip and pin in the UK no probs, whereas here it's very few and far between. What makes me laugh is there isn't many roundabouts over here, but when you get to one obviously its trained in dave and i to indicate etc, we must be the only ones over here that actually do it!

The weather is getting really warm, but the next day is thunderstorms that are so loud, the blinds in the living room vibrate! It is very humid over here though, so it feels warmer than it actually is. I am refusing to buy maternity shorts with 2 weeks to go!

Finally seem to be getting to grips with the food, and where to get the best deals. It's still very difficult but adopting a new routine isn't so bad now.
Boys are doing well with school, Lucas had his first friend over the other day, i made the effort to introduce myself to his mum and pass my number on for future dates. What made me laugh as the first question that came out of her mouth was "do you have any guns in the house?" which stumped me! Never had to think like that in the UK obviously, so after reassuring her that wasn't the case, he came over. To my surprise she said it was the first time she had ever left him on his own with a friend.  He was nice enough though, and was really good to see lucas play properly.
Lucas has been missing his school friends, has been talking about them a lot, hard to hear about sometimes as start to feel guilty!

That's it really, we have brought some baby stuff as a "just in case" I can't quite believe it's only 2 weeks to go!!

Ta ra for now
