three more weeks to go!!!

i'm still hanging in there... albeit bigger and bulkier. the last few weeks have been spent writing papers for school, but those are done now and i can heave a big sigh of relief... for now. don't have much left to do to get ready, although i'm attempting to make a curtain to go in front of the changing table (were most of his clothes will be stored) and am on a hunt to find a little vintage table to store socks and nappies.

clay is still unsure that he wants to share his mommy and daddy with anyone else; he's gotten quite possessive. hopefully, he'll like his new brother. clay is growing up so fast! he's getting very tall (and skinny), like his daddy. he's been very imaginative lately, telling me long, detailed stories about his toys, especially his toy trucks, which he loves. oh and we mustn't forget his toy trains. thomas and the other train... he even kisses them good night.

we went to a play day at the sports center. he loved it, so i think we'll keep going. this monday, however, of course, i was busy, but plan on going again soon. its a huge room full of toys and slides and he can run as much as he wants. he can also make as big a mess as he wants and not have to clean it up. he was having so much fun last week that he turned down his snack, which is unheard of for clay! like his dad, he can eat extraordinary amounts of food and not gain an ounce. me on the other hand... (sigh).

i think tonight i will sit and relax and just enjoy watching him for the evening. it is much more relaxing than studying. :) i want to be sure i spend lots of time with him before the baby is born, so he doesn't feel left out. he is used to having all the attention.

adieu for now!
