Snip Snip

My little boy is getting circumcised as I type. Its such a scary thing to think about! They are going to use a little anesthetic, such for the sanity of a crazy, worried mama.

Our first funny story- Troy was changing his poopy diaper today. He got all the gunk out of the boy parts and was going to put a clean diaper on. He was holding Grant's feet up and out of the way and he must have been holding them back too far because more poop started coming out. We rush and clean that up and MORE comes out. Our little Grant is like a playdoh dispenser- crank enough tension on those legs and poop comes out. I would've laughed a lot more, but laughing, coughing, and sneezing hurts a bit. So I had to make do with giggling. I guess that's what I learned today- don't pull back too hard on the baby's legs.

HE'S SO CUTE!!!

No News

What a nice quiet weekend its been! I know for myself, and most other members of the family, that it would've been great to be having a baby this weekend, but I don't think that's happening. If the castor oil wouldn't do it, I'm not trying anything else. But we do have a "last resort" date of June 18th.

We went to the used book store yesterday, and I loaded up. I'm so glad I love to read (thanks, Mom!) and it was fun picking out some new material. The owner of the shop asked if I'd been reading to the baby, and I said no. But on my way out, I realized that I have been reading to him. He got read to every time I read to my class. So this little guy knows a lot about third grade language arts and math.

I'm also working on some stitching. I won't be using my sewing machine for awhile- I took it in yesterday for a tune up. Really the needle threader needed to be replaced, but I figured I'd get the whole thing looked at while its there. I haven't used it much recently, and after Grant comes, I'm sure I won't feel like sewing right away. So I'm working on Hardanger. Someone's going to get very lucky this Christmas, assuming the projects gets finished. I am the queen of the unfinished project.

We've gotten enough rain for the weekend, so I hope it stays sunny. We've been walking each evening. Its not bringing on labor, but I can tell each walk is easier. Hopefully it will help to be in better shape for labor.

Today I learned that Henry will ring his bell to go out even if he's just been out and done all his business. I also learned that the song that comes to mind when he does this is from "Little Shop of Horrors."

I've given you Southern Exposure
To get you to thrive.
I've pinched you back hard, like
I'm supposed to
You're barely alive.
I've tried you at levels of moisture
From desert to mud!
I've given you grow lights and mineral supplements.
What do you want from me?
Blood?
