Almost Forgot...Name!
Peanut can spell her name now! She needs help sometimes with the N and Z but otherwise is doing awesome since she has a pretty long name for a 2.5 year old. Yay Peanut!!

Gymnastics and Pregnancy Update
I have not been feeling so hot the past few weeks, so unfortunately writing updates has fallen by the wayside. There is a lot to update on though...both on the gymnastics front for Peanut and on the pregnancy front for the little guy.
Peanut has been amazing in gymnastics lately. I have said this before, but it amazes me how far she has come in such a short amount of time. She can now kick-kick-flip over on bars by herself (although we spot her just to make sure she doesn't let go for now), she can connect up to four skills on the trampoline (Ex: tuck jump, straddle jump, jump spin, seat drop), and she can do seat drops back to standing (did it for the first time today! and the second, third, and fourth times too so it wasn't just a fluke). She is working on doing the pike jumps on trampoline and last week it was looking much better, although there was still some work to be done.
Her gymnastics show is coming up in about three and a half weeks and she's really doing great with the dance routine. She loves practicing it - I just hope she doesn't get shy when there's a large crowd watching her. It's so great to see her loving the activities - I hope she always has something to make her this happy.
On the pregnancy side, I am now 38.5 weeks pregnant according to the doctor and 39 weeks pregnant according to my calculations. My stretch marks are getting worse around my belly button, baby boy is sitting so low that I am immensely uncomfortable 90 percent of the time, and I feel gigantic. Yay, pregnancy. Ha ha. Originally I was scheduled for an induction this Saturday, April 27th at 8:00 AM (technically it was originally a C-Section but baby boy has been in position for a couple of weeks now and my cervix is almost fully effaced so the Dr decided we could do an induction - yay!!). That induction was postponed to May 1st at 5:00 pm because my cervix is so far back the Dr couldn't strip my membranes at my appointment yesterday. I have another appointment Monday so she can see if things have progressed enough where my cervix has come forward and they can get things moving. Here's hoping little guy comes on his own this weekend while my doctor is on call.
