Lying is not the way/ new doctor visit.

Okay, well. :)
I went to see that doctor today and things went well. We just chatted and such - first I talked to a few other doctors who are part of the high risk team (which is where they placed me due to my past history) and they took all my medical history down - then I met with and chatted with my own doctor. I am happy that I decided to switch to this hospital and with these doctors because I felt really comfortable with them and secure in the idea that they will care well for me and my little Penguin.
I am now going back on Monday to have my membranes swept! Yay! Hoping that it works and I go into labor and deliver that night. So - possibly only 3 more days! Although, if it doesn't work then they also scheduled me for another sweeping on Friday. I am so looking forward to holding this little one in my arms. Not so much looking forward to labor though LOL!

Today Lailah lied to my mom and it really bothered me because it reminds me of her father. I really hope she doesn't grow up to be some compulsive liar like he is. That would really break my heart. I know I can't stop her from making her own choices when she's grown but I'm hoping I can really help to influence her and help her understand how negative lying is for everyone involved.
She told my mom that today at school her new temporary teacher put her on red (bad behavior chart) because she made a mistake and wrote I instead of O in her Super Kids book (learning letter book) and then took recess away. So I repeated what she said and I said, "Is that correct, am I understanding?" In which she changed up her story and told me that the teacher only put her on yellow and only took away 5 mins of recess. She also told me that the other girls got to have recess and they "copied" off of her. Then I said, "Are you lying to me at all?" And she got quiet and started sadly whining, saying that yes she lied. The truth was that she didn't go on red or yellow but that she did make a mistake of putting an I instead of an O in the book and she cried in class because the teacher said she would put her in the yellow/red and she'd lose some of recess and it had scared her. So then I asked her that if the full story included that she made the mistake and got in trouble by the teacher because she was talking in class and not paying attention to what the directions were. She then admitted that yes, she was talking and not paying attention and that's the reason why she got told she would go on yellow and possibly lose some recess. :/
I explained that lying was not correct behavior and that she was losing a sticker for the day for lying because lying is inappropriate behavior that will only ever harm her in the long run - while hurting others. I then had her tell my mom that she lied to her and then I explained the real story so that Lailah would hear from my mom as well that lying is not nice and not an appropriate response to feeling hurt/sad/scared or however.

Well - that's all for now. Hoping that next time I write I'll have some baby pictures!
