Baby Update

Just a little baby update for all of you. I am doing really well in general. It is about 6 weeks to my due date (April 23). Not long! And we're really busy all through March so it will come quickly. I sure am ready to not be pregnant anymore. I feel really pretty healthy. Still don't know the baby's gender (yeah!) and names are settled. I just need to unpack a few boxes left in the den from moving (yes, a year ago) and hang things up on the walls in there. Then all of our inside big jobs are done, and I can let myself get baby stuff out. I'm getting a little anxious. The baby still moves a lot, but it is getting less wild in there as the baby gets bigger and has less room to move around. I'm also starting to get a little apprehensive about labor. I'm a little worried it will be long and of course painful, or too quick, like Elise's birth. I think that once I know I'm in labor I'll be racing for the hospital doors. Let us not forget that Elise almost could have been born in McDonald's drive through! In about 7 weeks it will all be over and we'll have a precious baby!

Did YOU see the "lunar" eclipse?

Well, there was a lunar eclipse a couple of weeks ago on a Wednesday night. We forgot to go out and look at it. The next day when I picked JJ up from school, he indignantly asked me "Why didn't I get to see the MOONER ECLIPSE?" I had to really try not to laugh out loud. They still say cute stuff even at 5! Just had to share that - it was classic.
