Status Update.

Baby - still cozy in belly, moving all around all the time, and getting bigger and heavier.  Baby L's prediction on appearance - she's keeping that a secret. Silly girl.

Mommy - sciatic nerve is not bothering me anymore, can breathe a lot easier (baby must have moved down a lot more), waddling around like a duck, stomach sticking out (Waaaaaaaayy out), even water gives me heartburn, and nesting like crazy.  Baby clothes washed and put away, car seat out and ready to go, bedrooms all set up and CLEAN, toys purged and ready for a garage sale in spring.  Up for a while last night with REAL contractions - painful and not fun.  Was going to give it about 15 mins longer before waking Daddy up when they stopped.  Of course.  Trying to be on feet and active in hopes of bringing about labor.  My prediction on Baby L's appearance - January 16.

Liam - busy back doing school, playing the Wii, loving his Angry Birds calendar and helping Mommy.  His prediction on Baby L - will come this Thursday, January 5.  That sounds good to me!

Leila - busy as always asking constant (and by constant I mean incessant!) questions about anything and everything.  Her prediction on Baby L - January 1st.  Hmmm.... if she means 2012 - then too bad.  If she means 2013, then no way, Hosea!

Libby - VERY busy and getting into everything such as lotion, Vaseline, dvds, wipes, dresser drawers, and food.  Has a runny nose and is a little cranky but giving Mommy lots of hugs (usually by running and basically jumping on Mommy, which is probably a little jolt to little sister!)  Her prediction on Baby L - just kiss Mommy's belly over and over and say, "Baby, Come."  Not sure she realizes exactly what that entails for her life as she knows it!

Daddy - going crazy with all of Mommy's nesting requests - even to the point of getting hurt (hmmm... maybe save that story for tomorrow!), putting up with Mommy hogging most of the bed, having no heat on at night due to being so hot I think I'm gonna suffocate, and snoring (I only snore when I am greatly pregnant!).  Talks to Baby L everyday, usually saying something like, "Come OUT!!!"  :-)  His prediction on Baby L's appearance - not soon enough.

Until next time...
