I am in the home stretch of pregnancy and I still feel sort of in denial about how soon this baby is coming and how everything is going to be turned upside down. I put things on the calendar and then realize, oh my goodness, the baby will be here then. At least I finally feel like I have the essentials for him. Some of my church friends threw me a little baby shower for baby number 3. My sister in law Rachel was able to come and so was my mom. It had a sports theme and was really nice.
Some of my work friends from my old school also had a little get together for baby number 3. People who have been asking what I need/want have really followed through with my requests for bigger clothes and diapers. I do feel a bit bad about the idea of a shower for my THIRD baby but it is also nice not to worry this baby will be naked and diaperless like I did a few weeks ago.
Although I am really not ready to wrap my head around a 3rd baby, I am definitely ready to not be pregnant anymore. This pregnancy has for sure been the easiest of my three. Overall, for being 37 weeks I am sleeping pretty well, I am not horribly uncomfortable, I have a decent energy level and I am able to stay on top of most of what needs to be done (the dishes are not piled up to the ceiling, everyone has clean clothes and most of our meals do not consist of cold cereal, so that is a win in my book). I feel bad complaining when I know how much worse I could be by this point, but I am also really, really ready to not be pregnant anymore (or ever again). Anyways....
While I was enjoying my sports themed baby shower, Hannah and Ryan went to Disney on Ice which Hannah apparently loved. Her new thing is she was randomly shout out "I HAPPY MOMMY!". Ryan said she shouted it out several times during the show.
She has shown some flashes of diva two year old behavior, but for the most part she is incredibly happy and loving. Her latest thing is to declare "I yove dis!". She will walk through a store declaring "I yove dis! Mommy, you yove dis?" as she points to random objects.
It feels like she is going through a language explosion suddenly which is great. She can almost always tell us anything she wants and she is finally at least attempting words that she would never say before like "Isaac" and "grandma". Her articulation still has a lot of issues and they haven't dismissed her from speech just yet, but I couldn't be prouder of her.
Her attention span has also grown longer suddenly and she will keep herself busy with a coloring book or with her babies for 25 minute stretches. She also loves to "help" whenever I am cooking or cleaning in the kitchen. We took her to the Please Touch Museum in Philadelphia and were pleasantly surprised by how appropriate it was for her and how much fun she had.
Isaac continues to be busy, busy, busy. When you check our family google calendar, he definitely has the most events between school things, soccer, and baseball. I feel bad because I don't update about him as much in the blog or on social media because it is mostly the same old same old. He is a good kid though, and tries his best to help me.
Ryan's health is still up and down which continues to be hard on our family. His doctors recently discovered that he is super anemic, so he has added iron transfusions to the list of regular medical procedures he must endure. He recently heard back from Google that he is set to work from home for them part time. Even though he is officially still on paid medical leave from Comcast, this will help bring in more income as I head into maternity leave.
Today is the last day of spring break and as usual I had a whole list of things I hoped to accomplish and tackle and I didn't get to very many of them.
