Counting Down...

I am definitely starting to count down the weeks and days until Lexi gets here! I am now getting to the point where I am pretty miserable feeling most of the day. I can still work ok, but am getting pretty slow. I have been having some pain on my right side, that I think is round ligament pain...but sometimes it is so sharp that I cannot walk and I just have to sit or lay down for a while.
We are nowhere near having Lexi's room ready though. I have bought the paint, but that is as far as we have gotten. I can't wait to get in there and really start to make the room look pretty! We have a long way to go, but I hope once we get started it will get down quickly! We have to clean out the room, paint, put a new fan up, get new carpet put in, assemble all of the furniture, and mom has to finish the bedding and curtains. That sounds like so much, but I know it will get done eventually.
I really only have about 6.5-7.5 weeks left, depending on whether we do a C-section or not. Around 35-36 weeks we will probably have an ultrasound done and if we find out that the baby is already big, then we will have a C-section scheduled probably the week before my due date. Anyway, it is definitely getting close so we really have to start getting things ready.
Jake was so cute tonight. We were leaving to go to dinner with friends and I was telling him bye and giving him a kiss on his head because he was eating. But that wasn't good enough for him, he wanted me to kiss him on the lips. And then he said, "kiss Lexi"...so he had to kiss my belly too before I left. I thought that was adorable because that is the first time he has really acknowleged her without me asking him about her or asking him to kiss the baby. I really hope that he will adjust well to her being here. He has such a sweet personality!

Suckers!!!

As I think I've mentioned before, Jake is completely obssessed with suckers, candy and cookies. I really don't know where this came from...but ever since Christmas he has begged for suckers and candy. This really gets to me because I always said that my child would not eat a lot of sugar and would not love candy. Anyway, tonight Wesley asked Jake was he wanted to eat for dinner and Jake replied, "Suckers and candy". Wesley said, "Son, why do you always want candy?" And Jake said "Favorite". I thought this was hilarious and neither one of us were aware that he even knew the word favorite! By the way, I am really impressed with how much Jake is talking now. He is making 4-5 words sentences and can carry on a conversation with anyone. I think it is adorable to hear the things he says! I am hoping the suckers is just a phase because it is driving me crazy and I am obsessively brushing his teeth. He did end up eating a great dinner and it was not suckers and candy!! The first picture below does not have a sucker in it but I am pretty sure that he had just asked for one! :)
