Dress Up

Maiya loves to change into different outfits and is very creative in her choices.  This day, she came out in tights and sunglasses, and said she was ready for dance class. 

Speaking of Dance class, she is really loving every second of it.  Here she is doing some of her choreography that she has learned.....

And Quincey likes to dress up too. He came out with a 'broomstick', glasses, and a 'wand', and said that he is Harry Potter.

34 weeks: Only 6 weeks to go!

 Well, can I just say that even though I am definitely at the end of things, I feel like the pregnancy is going so slow, and can't believe I STILL have 6 weeks left.  But NOT because I feel really uncomfortable or tired or any of those things.  In fact, I feel really good!  I know that can be hard for people to believe.  But, other than Maiya waking us up a couple of times a night (she's been on and off sick, and just going through some separation anxieties), I sleep well.  I am hungry ALL OF THE TIME... but other than that, this pregnancy has been such a good, uneventful pregnancy.  

One reason, I think, that things seem to be going slow is that I feel pretty prepared.  (I mean as prepared as you can be.)  I've got clothes ready, diapers, bed etc.  And because I have two older children (boy and girl), I already had most of the things I need. So, I am not panicked trying to get things prepared like I was with my first 2.

Another factor is the fact that I popped so drastically and got huge a couple of months ago.  SO for the past 2 months I have had people (both strangers and non)  saying, "Any day, right?"  And I have to tell them, Nope still 3 months left! And they can't believe it.  Like the other night we went to a church function, and from the time it took from me to get through the front door to my seat, I got at least 10 comments about how huge I am and how I look like I am about to pop!, and How it just came out of nowhere.  And questions about aren't I so ready to be done.  (I am guessing this question comes because they are afraid they are going to have to start rolling me around to get me from here to there.)  ;)  But really, it gets quite tiring.  And makes me feel like 6 more weeks seems like forever away. Occasionally, some sweetie will tell me how beautiful I look, but mostly it's just comments about my gargantuan size.  But really I never did like all of the attention and constant repetitive questioning and answering a pregnant women attracts anyway. 

And I guess another reason is that we are just so excited to welcome little one into our lives.  We've had to wait longer then we wanted for this baby because of the molar pregnancy, and are just so glad that the day is soon here.  6 weeks left!  Hopefully, it will go pretty fast.
