How things are going...

We're trying to get last minute things done for the baby's room (especially considering the baby could come anywhere from 3-6 weeks). We have the crib to repair, the wallpaper border/wall stickers to put up & last minute baby supplies to purchase. Busy busy busy! I have to admit that I'm ready to be done whenever the baby is ready to come out. I certainly don't want it to come early with health problems. In the meantime, we have our baby names selected whether it's a boy or girl.



Our son is doing well & seems to understand that a baby is coming & going to be in the house soon. When you ask him where the baby is he points to my belly & says "it's in there.": The other day we dropped off our pre-registration forms at the hospital. He asked "we see the doctor?" He remembered how Daddy was in the hospital to see the doctor for his appendix. We then explained how this would be where we would be seeing the doctor to have the baby & then bring the baby home with us. He got so excited & asked "Oh we're getting the baby now??? Yay!" I think he'll be a good big brother although wouldn't be surprised if he feels some jealousy at the time.


It's hard for me to believe that our son is going to start pre-school soon. Now if only we can get the ptty training down pat. Anyhow, it still surprises me what a little man he's becoming these days. If you tell him, time to take a nap, he says "No mom, I have to play with the cars for a while & then take a nap." He definitely has his own ideas.


The other day when I wasn't feeling well & crying, he took my face in his hands & said, "Look at me Mama. It's okay. I promise we'll see Daddy. Don't cry. It's okay." When I reached for some tissue he said, "Let me do it Mama." He then took the tissue from my hands & wiped the tears from my face, put the tissue to my nose & said "Blow.... okay blow again." Then I got a big hug & kiss from him. He was so sweet. I just love his empathetic nature.


I'm getting huge & definitely very pregnant! The baby moves quite a bit still which is good. According the doctor, everything is going well. This week I see the OBG for my last 2 wk check-up. Next week is the 35 week ultrasound (nope - not finding out the sex still much to everyone's dismay) & the week after I start going for my weekly check-ups. It's hard to believe the baby will be here before we know it.



For now I'm getting through day to day & seem to drain more energy each day. I guess that happens when your body wakes you every two hours though. I'm sure it's just training me for when the baby arrives & all those late-night feedings.
