I think I've been really good in this waiting for the baby thing. I went for my check up and I'm moving along with being 2 cm dilated and 50% effaced but I can be like that for the next couple of weeks. Last Monday night, I couldn't sleep because I had really painful contractions that were so irregular and I was just waiting for them to develop in to a rhythm. But after 3 hours from 1 to 4 in the morning, I finally was able to get some rest. I really thought I was in labor but of course after 3 babies, I finally know what false labor feels like. Now, only here and there, I'll have some contractions. It's like my body is teasing me. I just have to try and bear through it even though I'm increasingly getting more uncomfortable and in a bit of pain down there. I feel bad because J.D. is still such a baby. He wants to be held and he really needs the comfort of an adult. He can't play on his own. He wants me or hubs sitting with him watching him play. The moment we get up and walk away, he breaks down in to tears. I hope it's phase because when the fourth comes a long, I got no choice but to walk away.
Other news:
Bunny loves playing games but she doesn't like losing. We were playing memory and she won the first 2 games and then the 3rd Lamb actually won and Bunny broke down in to tears. I told her that if she was going to be a sore loser no one will want to play with her and then she cries harder. "but I want to win... i don't like losing. " I say sometimes you win some and sometimes you lose. I said you don't want to be a bad loser. I told her she should always congratulate the loser and mean it. So she half turns to Lamb and mumbles.. "congratulations, Lamb. I'm glad you won. " and then Lamb turns and she goes, " ha-ha, I won and you LOST... hahahah!" and then Bunny looks at me and then she runs up to her room crying.
So today, me and Bunny play this game Trouble. Bunny actually beat me the first round and in this game if you land on your opponets peg, you send them back to the start. She kept landing on me and she actually felt bad. I told her that it's part of the game and that I'm acting sad but I'm really not. She's so cute. After she won the first game, she wanted to play another game so she goes, " mommy, let's play again and I'll let you win and I won't cry this time. " She's so funny.

oh, the lessons kids have to learn! and Jadyn is so funny rubbing in the fact that she won... i bet it doesn't happen very often. don't worry about Jonah- soon he'll have a little playmate and you won't have to watch either of them!
hang in there with the rest of the pregnancy!
wow, you forget these basic lessons are things taught by parents. you're such a good mom. i agree with rbk -- in some sense, your kids will help raise each other and they'll watch out for each other. i'll be praying for you!
emma is soooo sweet, and i agree with jwk, you ARE a great mom to all of them. hope JD's phase will pass soon.
jihae does the same thing! it must be a phase... we were playing mini-golf and my mom got her ball in the hole first. kayla started hitting the ground with her golf club, jumping up and down, crying! we were all hysterical, and my bro and kathy were just in shock! my bro blames himself saying he shouldn't always let her win when they play games... i was like, "duh~" and i told them they should just have another baby!
