Man am I bad at this, but I am not ready to give up yet.  I will blog!

Fletch woke me up in the usual way this morning - crawling into bed to cuddle at about 7am.  I know these days are numbered and I'm not sure how he's going to respond when the baby is here.  The other day the baby started moving during our morning cuddle and he was super excited to feel it.  He jumped right up and put his hands on my belly.  I'm glad his reactions are positive, it gives me some hope for the adjustment.

Tomorrow is Halloween and he's already got more candy than any 3 year old needs.  He just ate a tootsie roll dipped in BBQ sauce and told me it was yummy.  Sounds it, huh?  He doesn't want to dress up this year, so we're just going with that.  I got him some glow necklaces because he loves them so he can be a little glow boy if we decide to go anywhere.

I am going to be 38 weeks tomorrow.  Still so much to do.  I put the crib together the other day, Fletch helped and was pretty excited about it.  The curtains got hung last night, still have the bed skirt and sheets to go, but it's nice to be making some progress.  Dad is working on the bathroom floor so we haven't had a potty in there for two days.  Makes for a long trip to pee at night.  But mom and dad are doing so much I don't think I can complain about a thing - the house looks great.  I just need to clean and de-clutter.  I'm trying to do more each day and hopefully it will get done.  Linda is having the house cleaned for us and they're coming at the end of next week I believe so I need to have a lot more done to be ready for them. 

I am still feeling good overall, which is amazing.  I am drinking milk like crazy again, no idea what's going on there.  The baby feels so big, my belly is just stretched to the point of pain all the time.  I am feeling her move almost constantly.  She seems to have a lot of corners.  The Braxton Hicks contractions have definitely started full force in the past week.  Last weekend we went to the mall and I had to sit down several times because they were so strong.  Seems like if I exert myself at all, I immediately start contracting so I am really trying to take it easy.

I did a lot of Christmas shopping this week and am almost done - I need to start wrapping.  I also started packing for the hospital and really need to start getting tax stuff together.  Time is getting short.

Fletch loved school this week - he brought home an airplane made from a tongue depressor and a toilet paper roll that he painted red.  It's my favorite thing he's made so far, I just love it.
