It is almost the end of September. Life seems to go faster the older I get, but this is getting ridiculous. It honestly feels like yesterday was Labor Day and here we are almost to October.
Speaking of Labor Day, I'd sure appreciate any prayers on this sweet baby's behalf. I so want him to stay put until it is safe for him to join us. Yesterday was rough. I had several hard contractions so quickly, it didn't feel like there was a break between them. It hurt (which isn't unusual these days) and it definitely worried me. Things are better today, but after so many weeks of contractions, you just never know.
I wonder what Jacob looks like? Kidding. Kind of. Between travel, bishoping, needing to be at work late, etc. things have been a bit busy. If all goes well, I will get to see him for more than seven minutes this Saturday. Can you imagine?
Cam has a birthday party this coming Saturday and I am so excited for him. I always try hard to make birthdays awesome for our kids, but we only give friend birthday parties at certain ages. Twelve is one of those ages and he is pretty thrilled to have a bunch of boys over to play sports and eat pizza and cake. And I found the perfect party favors (not always easy for that age as you want them to be cool and not even remotely babyish).
I love our kids' teachers. The elementary school had open house tonight and Matt and Annie have the most fabulous teachers. I already knew that, but having it confirmed again makes me happy. And they seem to adore my children, which makes them even more incredible in my eyes.
Campbell has some wonderful teachers also. His open house was a couple of weeks ago and Jacob and I were able to meet most all of his teachers. Middle school is turning out pretty fantastic. And the best part of middle school? No room parents, no Halloween costumes, no gifts to give to friends on your own birthday, no room parties—I'm a bit of a fan about what doesn't happen in middle school.
Our kids are ready for Halloween. Every costume is planned and ready to be worn and it feels good. I even bought an $8 Halloween t-shirt for the middle school man, just so he had something to wear without the dressing up. Did I mention I am a fan of him not having to dress up? But for the three that will dress up, I'm excited for their cute slash inexpensive (I only had to make two small purchases) costumes. Happy day.
Tonight at open house our neighbor, who is one funny guy, walked by us in the hall. He pointed at my stomach, pointed at his, and then said, "Sorry, mine is still bigger." It made me laugh hard.
When I think about this baby most likely coming in the next five or so weeks (please not sooner, please not sooner), I can hardly believe it. I'm trying to get everything I can done for all of the holidays and birthdays coming up, so I can just sit and enjoy this little man. The thought of having another baby in the house has me giddy with excitement. Try not to be jealous of me people. I'm almost jealous of myself.
And finally, I think too much.
But what is new?
