~33 Weeks~

Here it is, week 33! It's getting closer & closer, I'm getting bigger & bigger. We couldn't be more excited (well, maybe after we get a bunch of good stuff at the shower ;~) ). I'm feeling pretty good still. I have some times where I am COMPLETELY exhausted after being awake for only a few hours (and a full night's sleep) & other times where I'll go, go, go all day long & STILL can't fall asleep at night. Crazy! I have my next prenatal appointment next Monday & I am really excited for that. I think I will be going weekly to see my midwife at that point & that will make the time FLY! I am doing more & more to get the condo ready to have a new inhabitant & it is getting REALLY hard to not go to the baby aisle every time I enter a store!
Anyway, life goes on around the baby prep as well. Jay didn't get a 100% on his "Star Speller" test this quarter because the teacher grading it said one of his letters looked like another. I think his name will still go out on the "Star Speller" portion of the next school newsletter but he didn't get a toy like a couple of his friends did so he was pretty sad. We stopped to chat with his kindergarten teacher & she was upset FOR Jay. She feels like that was grading the penmanship which isn't something the schools do anymore. For those of you who've never seen it, Jay has AWESOME handwriting for a little boy, sometimes he just isn't as careful as he could be. I'm fairly certain that is what happened. He got over it pretty quickly but it was a blow & we talked about how he can do better next time.
Lizzie is getting so big it is INSANE! She talks to me about all the things she will when she is the big sister. She was wishing on the "wishing star" last night that she will get to give the baby her bottles sometimes & that we will let her hold the baby when she sits on the couch. TOO cute! She also likes to "help" in the kitchen so we make things that can be stirred as often as possible. She also likes to butter her own bread so we have been going through bread rather quickly lately!
Well, it is Spring Break this week & we plan on having fun of some type so I'll bring the camera along & keep you updated on our doings...
