A Few Contractions

I really need to find something to take my mind off the fact that I'm pregnant. Every little movement, twitch, pain, ache, has me wondering "is today the day?" I had a few contractions this morning when I was laying in bed but they didn't amount to anything and weren't frequent. I woke up at 4am to go to the bathroom and then my mind kept me up for about an hour, so annoying. My mom and brother are leaving N. Carol.ina today so they can pretty much be home whenever. They are planning to stop at my aunt's house in Oh.io and then my grandparents in lower MI but if I end up going into labor those plans can easily be modified. Also, now that it's almost the weekend my dad won't have to worry about taking off from work if we need him to come watch Alex.

When I was putting Little man to bed last night he asked me what we were going to do today and I replied, "we'll do lots of fun activities, what do you want to do?" His reply was, "I want to go on a vacation." LOL Don't we all, don't we all!!!!! He cracks me up multiplie times per day and I'm so excited to see how he is going to be with Baby boy. He's been carrying around and caring for his Cabba.ge Pat.ch doll, Auggie (August) for weeks. We've practiced strapping him into the car seat, putting him to sleep in the bassinet, putting the little hats on his head, feeding him his bottle, etc.... He has also been sleeping with him every night. I definitely thinks he's ready for the baby to arrive. I know he's going to be such a big help! I took him to Tar.get yesterday to pick out a toy for the baby so he could bring him a present in the hospital when he comes to visit. I still have to buy something for the baby to give to Little man though, hopefully I am still pregnant tomorrow so I can go and do that. Little man is always with me so it's hard to get something without him seeing.

Well I'll keep everyone updated as to how things are going!

What a cute idea to have them exchange gifts! I remember when my sister was born, I was 9 and I think people thought I would feel bad about all the attention on the baby, so I also got showered with gifts! I never remember feeling upset that she got attention when she was born - I was just as excited to meet her too! I'm sure Little Man will be a great big brother :)
