Wow we really are not very good at blogging. It is quickly turning into a bi-monthly thing.
Today is my last real day of relax with nothing on the to do list, just doing what sounds good at the moment. Me and Mike were really really really hoping to have Alexander here by now but with all our efforts nothing worked. I drank raspberry tea and took primrose oil pills, we went walking and even skipping, oh and Mike tried maternity acupressure points but Alexander is being stubborn and not budging. On Sunday night we had this ray of hope as I started getting contractions that were about 5 min apart and after 4 hours we went into the hospital and they measured the contractions for an hour (which were consistent around 2 min apart 30-60 seconds long) but after all that I was still just 1 cm dilated and thick, so they gave me a shot of morphine and said it was probably just early labor, well 10 hours later after the morphine had worn off I was back to no contractions and after my doctor appt I was still just 1 cm dilated. What was that about?? My bodies joke doesn't seem that funny. But me and Mike both understand when the baby is ready he will come.
So no baby and school starts Friday. I work tomorrow so this was my last real day to sleep in and relax before school hits and baby one day makes an appearance. Funny thing is I don't really like relax days - I just get bored, but I think once the baby is here and I am crazy stressed about school I will miss days with boredom.
Mike started his classes at Weber and has been studying a lot. He is such a good example to me and makes me kind of excited for the nights when we are both sitting at the table studying together. He is working so hard with work and shadowing and school work and I really feel so lucky to have him in my life. Mike makes me feel beautiful and amazing even when I look in the mirror and see this huge version of myself or I sleep for 12 hours. He tries to take on everything and I have to constantly fight him so that I can do things on my own and even do stuff for him. He is too good to me! We celebrated our one year anniversary on Aug 2, and were both blown away by how fast this year went and how much has happened. We took about a week off from everything and just played games, laid in bed and talked, went fishing and just enjoyed the time together, it was the perfect. I look back over my life and feel Mike is the best thing that has ever happened to me and am so excited that we get to spend the rest of this adventure together.
Wow sorry you can tell I am in a lovey mood today and miss my husband who is at work. :)
So once the baby is here I will post some pics and let you know the story. :)
We love you all so much and really are thankful for all the love and support you give us!
Star and Mike

Oooh! I am so excited for you guys! You'll never forget the coming amazing days and weeks with your little guy... enjoy it even with your busy schedule! I can't wait to see pictures, and we will definitely have to get together one of these days when things are all settled down. I love your attitude and it's so good to get updates on you!
Starli, I am SO GLAD you posted! Since I don't get to talk to you on the phone it was just wonderful to hear your voice (in my head, as I read) give an update to how things are going! Mike told John a few weeks ago that you were trying to "schedule" the birth for around now and I wondered if that could really happen...? :) Everything will work out the way its supposed to. I can't wait to see pictures of our new little nephew and to meet the little guy in person! You are wonderful, so glad you're my sister in law! You are in our thoughts & prayers! Loads of love-Jeanette
