How is it that time just flies by?! Only two weeks until Corey's due date, and I'm actually breathing somewhat a sigh of relief because for the first time in the past month I feel like I would be " ready" if he came. How quickly I forgot how much goes into getting ready for a new baby! My overly detailed tendencies can't help the situation, but nonetheless I am glad to feel at ease and "ready." All the clothes are washed, nursery put together, double stroller bought(still in box:), and odds & ends in place. Phew....
No dilation as of yet. He's just in there enjoying himself, and I trust that he will come in the perfect timing. We shall see if he will fall in suit with his brother and come a week late. I'm definitely more mentally prepared for that this time around and I guess somewhat expect him to be late rather than early, even though they say the second typically comes early.
While we are waiting on him to come, I am savoring the last few days of just Ethan and I at home together. The age old addage, "They grow up so quickly," is so true. I remember when we first brought Ethan home and he was so fragile and tiny and now he is full force boy ready for any adventure all the while expressing his independence with "no's" and pouts and hands on hips moments. He definitely has a way of testing me but I just love him to pieces beyond what I could have ever imagined. We have so much fun playing together. The key to his heart right now is BASKETBALL! He is absolutely in love with it, so walking to a neighborhood basketball goal, playing at home, or going to the fitness center to play has become a consistent part of our routine. I know once Corey gets here I won't be able to be as "on the go" with two, so Im really trying to be as intentional with Ethan as possible right now and show him how much he means to me.
He actually starts "school" two days a week at First United Methodist Church in Conway next week, and while I know it will be great for him and me once Corey gets here, I am still a little sad. We had orientation this past week, and I started tearing up thinking about him going to school for the first day. If I'm this emotional over 2 days, I can't imagine what kindergarten will be like. :) I am really excited for him to spread his wings a bit, and I think he will really enjoy it. His class is comprised of just 9 kids with two teachers, so I think he will get close to his classmates by the end of the year. He will have art time, play time, outside time, eat lunch, and nap time there! I like that he will have something that is "his," especially with Corey coming along. I think we all need things that refresh us and we can call our own. He starts this Tuesday, so please be praying for me not to start crying and make him cry. :) I just know its going to happen despite my hardest efforts, but I guess he's just going to have to get used to it because I make most things into a big deal. hahaha
I've decided to post a few pics of our summer together!
