This was taken in June.Well, Benjamin is taking a nap so I figured I better get his blogspot and the family's updated. He had been a challenge as of late. He is whining more, and refusing to take naps. He knows how to say "please" in sign-language and so he walks around pointing at everything in sight and saying "Please". He thinks that is the magic word to get him what he wants, no matter what.
I have been having trouble getting a peaceful night's sleep because I am more and more uncomfortable trying to lay down. My belly is not huge, but the baby does not cooperate with me when I am trying to sleep. I have little energy during the day, which makes it hard to have lots of patience with a 15 month old. I know I need to enjoy these peaceful moments while I can get them because once the baby is here, I am not guaranteed any breaks. I am praying that at least one of the baby's naps lines up with Benjamin's at some point.
I haven't packed for the hospital yet. Last time I packed the day before I went into labor. Looking back at my pictures from the hospital, I want to do things a little differently . . . like at least get a sponge bath and fix my hair the next day so I don't look like a scraggamuffin. I still need to get a couple waterproof covers for the pack-n-play. I have two sheets for it. I also need to get refills for my Diaper Genie. When I go to WalMart it only has the Diaper Genie II refills, which I do not need. I also would like to go to Michaels (while the sale is on) and get some baskets to put on the bottom shelf of the changing table. That way I can put all the onsies in one, the bibs in one, and the burg rags in another. Right now I have all the bibs and burp rags crammed into the little drawer on the changing table.
A Special Note: Thank you to all of you who gave me baby gifts. I have enough diapers for a couple weeks at least :)
Until the Next time . . . hopefully one more post before the arrival.
