And the countdown begins...

O.K., I know it has been over a month since the last post, but things have been crazy here!! Jason has been working crazy hours and school has started back for me. Even with all the chaos, things have been going very well!!

We finally got Jay's big boy bed!! His room is all set up and he is doing really well with it. He loves his new room and his new bed. You can often find him playing in his bed with his toys. HE is also learning to help out more in regards to his room. He knows how to put his dirty clothes up, clean his room and get his shoes. These may sound like small tasks, but with a new baby coming, I need all the help I can get!! 

He has also been doing great with potty training. Of course he does have accidents every once in awhile, but for the most part he is doing great. Today he actually went to the potty, poo pooed and told us AFTERWARDS! I couldn't believe it when he came and told me. I for sure thought there was no way he could do that. Now, I can pee by himself, but poop?! He still sleeps with a diaper, but we have fazed him out of one during his nap. I am working on the overnight diaper. Not sure if that will be gone by the time Baby C arrives.

Baby C... this child loves to make itself known. It is constantly pushing out and kicking it. It responds real well to our pushing in. Almost every time it will respond with a push back. I am technically due October 7, but the doctor will take me a week early for the C-section. So, as of today, I have 4 weeks and 6 days left!! Not sure how big this baby will be, but already at 34 weeks, I feel as if it is huge!! There isn't much room left in my tummy. 

I will be packing a hospital bag this weekend even though I am suppose to have a scheduled C-section. You just never know. I told Jason he couldn't take anymore fishing trips to the river (about 2 hours or so away) and to take my calls at work. I doubt that I will go into labor with this one, but you never know!! My parents, sister, brother in law ( to be) and mother in law plan to be here around the time the baby arrives. My sister in law will come later. I am looking forward to having them here when our baby arrives. My brother in law (to be) will be the godfather and my sister in law will be the godmother. We have decided on names, but it is a secret until the baby arrives!

Jason is loving work. He is working days right now, but in 2 weeks he will go back to midnight shift (11:30 pm -7:30 am) for the next 8 months! I am very nervous about this, but trying to go into with a positive attitude. Work for me has been descent. As usual, being a school teacher can get stressful and I often feel like there aren't enough hours in the day!! 

I will def. try to get another post in before the arrival of the baby.
