Over the last few months, we've been working on Caleb's room. We tore out the carpet & drywall. We put new drywall up, painted, and put laminate flooring in- then we added some shelves and pictures. And voile!
We've done a little more since those pictures- but not enough to put the effort in for more pics.
Anyway- I'm 36 weeks preggo, and I went to the doctor yesterday. When he checked to see if I was dilated at all, he literally said "Holy Mackerel! Don't cough or sneeze!" Apparently, he was surprised that I was already dilated to a 3. I wasn't surprised- I was dilated to a 3 with Kenzie at this time too- and had her 2 weeks early. So, if Caleb follows in his sister's footsteps- he'll be here in a week and a half or so.
I'm so excited to meet my little boy! I can't wait to see what he looks like, and how Kenzie is with him. Kenzie is a very independent little girl, and wants to do everything herself, or help me with anything she can. I think she'll be a very good helper! She keeps telling Caleb to "Come out!" I keep telling her that he'll be here soon, but soon to a 2 year old is definitely different than soon to me.
We've also been asking Kenzie what she wants to be for Halloween. Her response used to always be "Pumpkin!" That was because she knew that there was always candy in her pumpkin. Lately, her ideas have gotten more creative. The other day I asked her what she wanted to be, and she said "I WANNA BE BUZZ!" then thought for a second and said "No, no, I wanna be a monkey!" That same night after she went to bed- I went in to cuddle her about 2 hours later (I missed her...). While I was cuddling her- she says in a VERY groggy voice "a doggy". I said, "what babe?", she said, " I wanna be a doggy. a doggy for my Halloween costume". Since then- she goes back to Buzz Lightyear a lot, but has also come up with ballerina, princess, leaf, heart, flower, rainbow. And the newest one on the list is an "ippy pippy pider!" (Translation: Isty bitsy spider). So I guess we'll have to take her shopping and see what we come up with. We'll let her choose I think.
You won't here from me for a while, but maybe at some point after Caleb is born- I'll post and update, and pictures.
'til next time...
Yay! He's almost here! It's so fun to have a big kid around to help out with baby too. Kenzie sounds like she will be good at that. I know, I'm already asking my kids what they want to be for Halloween! I'm a 'plan' two months ahead kind of girl =) Kids just make it so much fun, it's hard to wait for any holiday!
