Prayers needed!

I had my now weekly check-up yesterday at my obgyn, and as I had feared, I have started to dilate. I am at 1 cm. which is a little later than last time, but not by much. I am only 34 weeks, and I would really like to make it to 36 weeks or later. I could really use all of your prayers out there in order to help me make it. I am hopeful because the doctor did not put me on any sort of bed rest or restrictions. Although Drew has stated that the couch is my best friend. What a sweetie pie!
I have another appointment on Tuesday and I will have a non-stress test on Thursday, so I will keep you all posted.
Yours,
Blaire

Preschool graduation...sniff, sniff!

Wylie had his preschool graduation ceremony last week. It was so sweet. They all processed in and sang the sweetest little songs. At the end they all sang Goodbye Yellow School, and it really got me. I have been crying a lot lately, so it doesn't take much to get me going. Wylie actually sat through that song, so when I asked him why he didn't participate, he said that song made him sad.






Here is Wylie getting his little diploma.

This is the whole graduating class singing. Notice Wylie on the very last row in white. He is the only one sitting and not participating!

Last Day of Preschool



Today was Wylie and Mary Grace's last day of preschool. They both had cute little parties, so I had double duty trying to get to both. Here are some pics of the kids.

Wylie's party was a bug theme.







Mary Grace's was a luau.



Here is the picture from today. Underneath is the picture from the first day of school. What a difference a year makes! Where did my babies go?
Wylie has his graduation ceremony tonight, so hopefully I will get those pictures up soon! Although his class is up in the rafters, so I can't promise any great pictures.

Disney World Part 2

After regrouping and getting some rest, we decided to spend the rest of the trip in the Magic Kingdom. This seemed to be everybody's favorite park.

This is one of the parades the park does daily which was a lot of fun because you got to dance along with the characters in the streets!




While Drew and Wylie got to ride all of the fun rides, Mary Grace and I basically walked around the park getting our pictures made with every character we could find. Here are some of those pics.






The tea cups...again.


The last day we were there was by far the most special. I don't know if it was because of Cinderella's castle or because it was our last day, but it was my favorite.


We ate lunch in Cinderella's castle with all of the princesses. Not only was it a yummy meal, but both Wylie and Mary Grace enjoyed themselves.


Here is Mary Grace putting on some lip gloss in her princess dress before going into the castle. Every princess must look their best!






Here is Wylie trying to pull the sword from the stone. Watching all of those families trying to pull the sword was funny. I began to think that some day that thing has got to budge because of everybody tugging on it. Can you imagine the look on that families face when it does start to move one day?


After lunch, we ditched the princess dress and continued to do everything we could before the day ended.

This was Mary Grace's favorite ride. The carousel.


I love this last picture. I think it basically sums up our trip.


We had such a great time, despite the two prescriptions we needed and Mary Grace deciding not to ride in a stroller, or hold our hands. I was so impressed with Disney. Here are some tips for you future Disney world visitors.
1. Skip the Country Bear Jamboree in the Magic Kingdom. That show is soooo lame that Mary Grace fell asleep in it!
2. Get a good spot for the night time parades one hour in advance. Just have your spouse go get food to munch on the entire time you sit and wait.
3. Definitely take advantage of the Dining Plan!!!!
4. Standing in line for 75 minutes is definitely worth it to see your child's favortie character!
