I'm a slacker!

I know, I know...I have been a huge slacker on my blog. I apologize greatly and will make great strides to make up for my lack of updates. Today is August 24 and I am two weeks away from my due date. I went to the Dr. today to learn that everything is normal (as usual) and that my doctor predicts that they baby will be a bit larger than the average newborn. No nine-pounder or anything but a little bigger than the normal 7-7 1/2 lbs. I figured as much. I was eight pounds and something when I was born and Matt was seven something so there you have it. I am very anxious to meet my little boy although I must admit I have some fears. They only present themselves when I see little babies though. I had gone to my friend Susan's house and our other friend Becca (who had a little girl premature a few months ago) lives there too. Her baby weighs six pounds now so is still very much like a newborn. She's adorable and sooo tiny and when I held her I felt like I had no idea what to do with her so I gave her back to her mother. In a couple weeks I will not be able to give it back...people will be giving it back to me and that's scary. I am definately more focused on the exciting stuff though. I want to see him so badly...just look at his little face and fingers and toes and know if he looks like me or his daddy. Pregnancy is getting a little hard now too. It is tough to walk when you have a head resting on your pubic bone, but at least he's dropped so I can eat a full meal without feeling like he's going to break a rib and I can breathe a little better. Well that's all for the mini update. Over the next few days I plan on writing in more detail about some pregnancy things and other topics for example: swelling, belly casting (a freaking hilarous experience any pregnant woman should have), the woodland art fair, my house in it's final decorated stages...there's more I think but that is all that is coming to mind right now. So stay tuned and don't give up on me. I have been M.I.A. on the blog lately but I'm coming back full speed ahead (which for a pregnant woman can sometimes be rather slow, but I'll do my best).

    You're going to do great, Leiah. If he starts to hyperventilate when he gets upset, all you have to do is say, "Settle, settle." And if he falls, just smile and say, "Bonkers!!" even if he's cracked his head open. And if he gets bored, give him a ball of yarn that he can imagine is a pair of socks. All those tactics worked with you famously.
