Still Waiting..

38 weeks and 5 days and I am ready to have this baby.  I am not sure why I thought this baby would come early since Milo didn't come until 39 weeks and Liesel was only a day before her due date.  I was not prepared to still be pregnant at this point.  I am trying to surrender to the fact that I have no control of when this little one will come.  I have a feeling with the crazy week I have next week, Liesel's Birthday, Milo's Birthday, and Halloween all in a row, that might trigger labor.

Milo has been working really hard on not being too physical with Liesel and I think preschool has helped with understanding personal boundaries.  I am hopeful that this third baby will be an easy transition for him.  Liesel, on the other hand…I am a bit fearful of what her reaction is going to be.  I already sense that she knows she is about to be de-throned.  Over the past two weeks she has been really clingy to me and has really learned how to throw down a good temper tantrum.  I would like to say that I am hopeful for the best, but prepared for the worst.  I am not sure what the worst is though… Either way we are all very excited to meet our newest family member.

Liesel is pushing two and is entering it with a vengeance. I have to say it is a good thing she is cute!

Daddy and Mommy took Milo for a hike last week.  Mommy was hopeful it would trigger labor and we wanted to give Milo some quality time before the baby comes.  He did great.  All in all it was a 2 mile hike with the first half being all uphill.

So recently I have been letting the kids watch more iPad than I probably should.  Pregnancy with two toddlers is rough.  This photo is proof that I won't be getting mother of the year. Oh well, there's always next year.

He takes his music very serious!
