Oops

I just realized that I haven't written anything in what feels like forever, so I figured I should probably update a little. I'm really trying to remember to keep up with this, and sadly I'm more consistent with this than I have been with other journals.

I'll be 38 weeks pregnant tomorrow - my God, where has the time gone? I feel like I just found out I was pregnant a couple of weeks ago! I can't believe that within a month I'll have a new baby boy - I'm both excited and terrified! Thumper is rolling around like crazy; he's so much more active than Scooter ever was! We have our next appointment tomorrow, at which point we'll find out whether I'm making any progress towards having this little guy. Part of me hopes that I'll have made some progress, and part of me doesn't want to spend the next few weeks in an agony of when like I was with Scooter. Nothing like spending three weeks in labour and progressing and hearing, "Any day now!" from the doctor, and then... nothing. I'd almost rather not have progress and then just suddenly go into labour, and be pleasantly surprised!

Scooter is doing well overall. He's moved his bedtime later; instead of going to bed by 6:30 he's insisting on staying up until 7:30-8, which is fun since I get to see him and spend time with him in the evenings, but the mornings currently suck! He's a little grouch every morning and doesn't want to get up/get dressed/go to daycare. Apparently he's fine once he gets to daycare, but it's a battle every morning now to get him ready. We still aren't very verbal yet, although I think it's really more of a choice on his part rather than an inability to talk. After all, why talk when you can point and shriek to get what you want? It's getting frustrating for all of us, and I'm hoping that he decides to start talking soon. It would be a nice change from the shrieking that we get from him right now when he wants to communicate.

The biggest news in our house is Carla moving out. She has decided to get a house with her boyfriend, and she will be moving the week before the 1st most likely. She's already begun to pack her things. Luckily most of what is in the house and in use belongs to Garry and I - 90% of the kitchen things, those sorts of things. We did go out Monday evening and buy new furniture, which will be delivered on Saturday - I'm excited to get it! I love getting new furniture! We still need to find a small breakfast table, and eventually we'll need to furnish the spare bedroom, but we've made a start on things. There are some other little things we need to buy to replace what she's taking with her when she moves, but not much. We'll miss having her around, but it's really for the best and time to part ways, I think. It was getting too stressful between all of us, the dog, the cat, and with Thumper almost here, it's a good time. We're currently working to cut our household expenses as the majority of my maternity leave will be unpaid, but otherwise not much will actually change, I don't think. Our little family's routine will largely stay exactly the same as it is.

Okay, once again, I'm rambling! I'm going to try and post a few new pictures this weekend, probably a belly picture and some of the new furniture and of Scooter.
