italy, dentists and omsi, oh my

Eric left for Italy about a week ago now. He is in Casoria, just outside of Naples Italy volunteering at a local churches city festival. It is an awesome mission trip to serve the people of this city. Casoria has extremely high crime, drug and unemployment rates and they are very grateful to this church to put on a free week long festival. We have gotten to talk on Skype almost every night and he is having an amazing experience, I am so thankful that he got to go to this! And no, I am not bitter that my husband is in Italy while I'm at home with Eli and Micah ;) Its pretty hard work while he's over there and I am excited about what God is doing in his life. Check out http://italy.deltaministries.com/ As for Me, Micah and Eli we are having a great 'ol time. (insert little sarcasm) I'm trying to keep myself busy and keep Eli entertained with minimal physical effort on my part. I try and plan 1 thing a day to look forward to and have a reason to shower that day (moms, you know what I'm talking about) If I don't have anywhere to be I get sucked into TLC or HGTV and 10 hours later, I'm still on the couch, its dark out and I'm in the same clothes I woke up in. blah. I try to avoid these depressing moments. So anyways, we are keeping busy, I am fighting exhaustion and getting out there everyday thank you very much.

Speaking of our outings, Eli had his first Dentist appointment on Tuesday. He did alot better than the dentist thought he would. He started out happy and sitting in the chair all by himself, then when she wanted to brush his teeth he started to freak alittle, so I had to sit in the chair with him. He did good and his teeth look good and he got some dentist gloves to take home! Who needs cheap toys as a prize when they have GLOVES!! He wore those nasty things 24/7 until yesterday when they "conveniently" disappeared.

I had a midwife appointment and everything looks super, baby is head down *hallelujah* and I am measuring at 36 weeks- that's still 2 weeks bigger. And I am feeling it! Oh well, like I've said before, the baby will come sometime in the month of October- we'll just block out the whole month!

And lastly, in our exciting life we made alittle trip to OMSI this week with our cousins! Eli had a great time as always. We have a membership there, which is so nice to go and not have to pay! If you haven't been in awhile the CSI exhibit they have right now is so cool!

Alright, that wraps up our week so far, wish us luck getting through the next week and lets hope this baby stops giving me contractions every night!!
