Baby Update
I went to the doctor yesterday and she says I only have about two weeks to go.(Two weeks sounds SO much better than five.) I'm at 3 cm now, which is great news. With Gabriel I wasn't even at one the day before he was born. Hopefully that means this time will go much faster. She also said that next time I come in, at 37 weeks, she will do some stuff (I don't want to post the icky details) that will probably put me into labor if I am not already by then. I go in June 13th and should have a baby either that day or shortly thereafter. Yay!
Now I've got to make a list of things to get done around here, and then actually do them. Andrew said to make a list for him and he'd think about doing some of it:)
Actually, Andrew has been great these last few weeks while he's between school and job (by the way, he starts working Friday.) He has been really helpful both with housework and with Gabriel. Gabriel and I will both be sad when he starts working. We will be very bored without him. (And probably grumpy too.)
We are giving the potty training a few more days of intense work. He does well when the circumstances are right: At home and naked. Now we're working on wearing underwear and I'm not very optimistic. If it doesn't catch on in the next few days I don't think we're going to survive. I can only handle so many accidents in a day before I fall to pieces. (I am getting really sick of all these hormones, they're not helping anybody.) I guess if it doesn't work now we'll try again in a few months after I've had a chance to settle into being a mother of two and after Gabriel has a chance to get use to having another baby around that takes away HIS mama's attention.
I'm not really concerned or worried about the labor and delivery, though perhaps I should be, but I am worried about practically everything else. Again, the hormones are not helping. Any last minute advice from other mom's of multiple kids? I don't think there's much I can do to prepare Gabriel, but what about me?

2 weeks! that's exciting news. i hope your delivery is fast and easy. you'll be fine as a mommy of two. it seems daunting but once you are thrown in the middle of it, it comes naturally.

Thanks for the encouragement Hollie. I'm excited about having another little boy. It'll be good for Gabriel:)

I'm totally jealous.....I'm suppose to have my baby way before you and it looks like you're going to beat me:-( I'm 37 weeks now and I was at 2 cm last Thursday. Unfortunately my OB didn't say anything about having the little stinker anytime soon, but who knows. Hope everything goes well and make sure you have tons of pictures taken!

Lacey,
You being at 2 already is amazing for a first timer. That's great.
For me, it just seems like I'm a 37 week pregnancy kind of person, which makes me happy, and lots of other pregnant women unhappy.
Andrew says though that at least your only dealing with Indiana heat instead of Texas heat. It's miserable around here!
