I am so ready for the baby to get here!!!
The nursery will be ready by the end of this week, and I have one last baby shower this coming Sunday. Pretty soon everything will be in place, and all we'll have left to do is wait!
I have been having dull cramping since Friday, off and on, and so I've been taking extra precautions to "take it easy." They seem to ease up a bit when I drink water and slow down. They haven't been unbearably painful, so I haven't felt compelled to call my doctors. But I will be mentioning it at this Friday morning's appointment. I have no idea whether it is a normal part of the process or something to be concerned about. Considering I'll be "full term" in 2 more weeks alone, they may not be that worried about it. We'll see.
I have been giving thought to birth announcements some this week. I plan to have them made and ready to fill in so that will be less to think about once he's here. I have been getting so many good ideas online! Ken is excited about helping me with them with his graphic and computer expertise.
Oh, Ken has been the wonderful husband that I knew he was all along....he just reconfirms it to me when he rubs my feet at night or comes to see what I'm up to when I disappear into the nursery to just "sit and rock," upon which he promptly sits down beside me to "speak to my belly" again. He is as anxious as I am to hold this little baby in his arms at last....

....So now I have a bathroom story. Every mom has them. Most start around this age. Here's mine. We bought Gardner his first potty chair a couple of weeks back. We mainly wanted to get him used to the fact that it's a "piece of furniture" now, to get him used to seeing it. We taught him how to sit on it, clothed. Well, yesterday, while prepping him for a bath, I taught him how to sit on it....unclothed. I told him that "this is where you tee-tee" (that's what we call it 'round here). He giggled, and stood up. I turned my attention back to the bathtub water level, and glanced back just in time to see a stream shooting forth and hitting the potty seat, potty lid, and the shower curtain. He looked incredibly proud of his feat. I really believe he thought he'd just tee-teed in his potty. I laughed till my sides hurt. I figured that wouldn't happen again, at least for a while. I was wrong. I just had the same incident occur minutes ago, wh...

I am nearing the 31-week mark, which means in about 1-1/2 weeks, I will be in my eighth month. Wow, I can’t believe it is getting so much closer to the birth. I think I’m getting to the stage now where I just can’t wait much longer….the anticipation and excitement is growing, and I am starting to long to hold him in my arms. As he grows stronger daily (and I can tell by how much harder he is kicking, shoving, and stretching), it makes him that much closer to my heart, and I realize that he is nearly to full completion….this long, 9-month road of God weaving together our son inside of me is almost at its end, and the promise of a baby in our arms is nearly materialized!! I am feeling like I’m sticking out so far now! Well, I am, actually! That’s normal! But whenever I catch a sideways glance of myself in a mirror, I still have to catch my breath when I see that huge beach ball-shape preceding my body! I have never felt clumsier. Ken loves to watch me in the kitch...

Two days and counting until Gardner's birthday! We're spending these last two days doing last minute preparations on the food, decorations, and party favors. He's having fun with me just riding around town and ducking in and out of stores. He's so intrigued by balloons....just wait until he sees so many of them at his own house....just for him! I'm praying the weather will be good for his parties. Doesn't look like rain will spoil it, but unseasonably warm September weather may make everybody a bit uncomfortable. It was my dream to have his parties outside, though, and I was thrilled to have a September baby so that I could do just that. I will make it work! Last minute touches on his video slideshow to do yet, still. I have had such a fun time working on this. Only two more days to be a "baby," Gardner! After Wednesday, you'll enter the wide, wide world of toddlerhood! I think I'm ready! I know you are!
