So today we finally got rain. For those of you who don't live in the metro area, May went down as the 3rd driest since they have been keeping records. So the fact that it rained all day long was actually a blessing. It was a nice slow rain too so that when the big downpours come next week (as I heard Sven predicting), the ground will actually be able to soak it up since it won't be so dry. So that's good.
Lukin is a big fan of the rain. Whenever we check the weather channel or watch the weather and he sees rain, he yells it. He is so excited. Then today, we went to Panera for lunch after my lab appt. and he was giggling as he splashed his way through every puddle on his way in. It's cute to see him that excited about something that is just part of nature.
Tonight, when we got home from driving by the work-in-progress new Twins stadium, I worked on packing bags. And I am happy to say that I am two-thirds done: baby and Lukin are done, I still need to throw in a few things, although I do have my clothes to wear home packed, so if I had to leave and that's all I had packed, I would basically be ready. I decided that I needed to do this because: a)the date this baby is coming is literally any day in the next two weeks, b)I'm tired of seeing it still on my things to do list (it's the only one that hasn't got crossed off within a day of being added), and c)last night, I had a little scare and ended up calling labor and delivery to find out everything sounded fine to the nurse. But that put me on hyper-alert, so this has to get done.
On the flip side though, if anyone remembers, Sonny was telling me that I needed to pack a bag for Lukin's birth and I told him that I would get to it, and not to worry about it, and the next morning, my water broke. That showed me that I maybe should have listened, but more importantly that I could pack in super speed if needed (of course, I didn't pack everything I really needed, but just the very basics...remember having to bring me a bag of stuff, Stacie?). But I'm still not really worried, because if you know me, you know that I have everything that I will need written down on a list, so I know specifically what to grab (if it isn't already packed) to finish my bag before heading off to the hospital.
Lastly, today Lukin and I went to Target and because he has recently learned about Ho Hos, we bought a box of Swiss Cake Rolls (because they are basically the same thing, but cheaper). So I just wanted to tell Amanda that I am currently nibbling on a SCR as I write this. I know that will drive her nuts because I don't eat them like a 'normal' individual would. No, I eat all the chocolate off the outside, then eat the cake all the way around until it looks like a piece of celery, then lick all the icing out before finishing the cake. It's a way to make a little snack last a lot longer. Yay Little Debbie!

I tell people at work about how you eat Little Debbie snacks vs. how I eat Little Debbie snacks.
They are amused.
We eat swiss cake rolls the same way...Mike can't stand it either. Remember to pack your makeup because I might not be there to bring it to you this time!!
Mom is like, "You don't need make up when you are in the hospital." And she is right, I didn't need it last time until I was discharged and we were going to go out to eat for Mother's Day. But I would rather have it and then maybe not need it, than not have it and then have a rush of visitors and feel naked without it. (Not that there is going to be a rush of visitors...but I'm just saying.)
