Managing a thiry-year old - 28 week old fetus - & a 5 yr old going on 14.

Well, life's been busy at the Erdmier house. Sable starts soccer this week. Her first practice is Thursday and first game on Saturday. Brandon is bewildered that they will have a game so quick - with only one practice and my mother wonders if Sable will be a "sweeper" or will be on offense or defense. Right now mommy is hoping that we don't pick up the ball with our hands and run to the corner because someone might take it away. We did get the outfit right! except for the fact they are trying to turn my daughter into an aggie with the maroon and white-- yuck!

Colby already has a mind of his own and has perceded to try to make life interesting. We began having contractions, not just braxton hicks, but contractions this weekend. I think he just wants it known that he is coming and yes, he will turn our world upside down -- me and Brandon can't wait! We did a lot of shopping for him this weekend just in case he doesn't stay on schedule -- blue, blue, blue, and more blue. I don't know if I can get used to the idea. I am used to looking a frilly things with pink!

Brandon has been awesome in this pursuit towards fatherhood/childbirth for the second time around. I know it is amazing to some of you that we made it this far... but when you have someone as stubborn as him and someone that is always right like me-- you'll have your problems/issues but will forge ahead and make something beautiful.... and interesting.
While at dinner with a friend this weekend he mentioned his ex-wife a few times (not in a very nice way) I told Brandon later, thank you... thank you that we worked everything out. That could have been you (Brandon) at dinner talking about me (jessica) as your ex. Of course you would probably be with your next girlfriend that looked just like me but hey. Brandon got a big kick out of that!

We are hoping to get concrete poured this week on the house. If the weather holds up and everything goes according to schedule we might be in before Sable's birthday-- but we aren't holding our breath. When it's ready, it will be ready. Until then we will continue to stockpile our apartment with diapers, lawn equipment, and whatever else we think we need....
