So yesterday was a pretty busy day. We went to our weekly dr. appointment in the morning. The NST again went okay. The b strep test they did last week came back negative so no antibiotics during labor. We also found out that I am 2 cm dilated! I know that doesn't mean much in the whole scheme of going into labor. Many people can stay there for several weeks, but I am happy that my body is preparing somewhat because it looks like we will be scheduling induction for March 30th. I am really hoping I go into labor on my own a few days before then. That is my preference, but the fact that I am a little dialated took the fear away that my body would not be ready for induction and it would turn into a disaster if they tried to induce me before my body was ready. So we'll see what happens but the fact that I was a little dilated scared Aaron to death. You could almost see a physical shock hit him when the doctor said that. This week is spring break. Aaron still has to go into the office but doesn't have to get there at a certain time or anything. Well, this morning he slept in a little but he was ready to take off by 8. I said, "You're leaving already?" and he said "I need to get some stuff done because of 2 cm dilated." It cracked me up but I'm glad it gives him some motivation. Both of us have been very unmotivated about finishing up school stuff the last couple of days.
The baby room is now officially painted. I will be picking up the drop clothes and other stuff in there today so that we can move furniture in. I just have a dresser that needs to go in there right now and then a desk that needs to be moved to where the dresser was in the guest room. Some people are coming over to dinner tonight and I think he's going to get the guy to help him out on moving stuff.
After the doctor appointment we came home and did some chores, ate some lunch, and then took off for King Tut. Right as we arrived at our exit for the museum, we realized we forgot our tickets that we'd printed off. We'd also forgotten change for the parking meter. So we had to park in a lot which was way more expensive. Then we went in and found the ticket people. Fortunately they were able to help us out and look up our tickets and print them off for us. The entry to the exhibit is times so you have to go in at the time your tickets are for so there was no way we could have gone back home and gotten back in time. But we got in! They are doing a special matinee price Mondays-Thursdays right now so that was nice too. The exhibit was very interesting. They had a lot of really intricate statues, vases, chests, and chairs on display. The jewelry they found with King Tut's body was one of the most impressive parts to me. It was so detailed and intricate. There were 150 pieces of jewelry found with his body. They had about 10 pieces in the exhibit. They also had an interesting part about how they examined his body to try to determine what caused his death. They have never been able to figure that out. Anyway, it was worth going to. My calves are sore today from all the standing and walking we did.
After the exhibit we went back home again. Got a snack and then took off to help with the apartment ministry kick off thing. We got there about 1/2 hour before. When it was supposed to start no one showed up so we ate some hotdogs ourselves. About 15 minutes after, three kids came but no one else. One of the ministers finally decided to go knock on doors and invite people to eat. We had passed out fliers 2 Saturdays previous to this event but they obviously were not effective. So after he did that we had quite a few come. Aaron and I ran the Plinko game. They dropped a ping pong ball in a hole and if it landed on 1 they got 1 piece of candy or a 2 they got 2 pieces. Then we ended with a pinata bust. Scary! These kids would not stay back while the blindfolded kid was swinging. If a piece of candy happened to come out, one of the kids, usually a boy, would run out while the other kid was swinging the stick about .000001 cm from his head and grab the candy. But no one got hurt. That finished the party. Next week they will start the Bible club thing that this was a kickoff for. They basically do a VBS type thing for an hour every other Tues. They are hoping to get enough people helping that they can eventually do it every Tues.
Sorry I don't have any pictures with this post. No photos allowed in the King Tut exhibit. :( I could rip something off the internet but I'm too lazy.
