Last Pregnancy (I hope)

I've been pretty excited for the fact that this is our last pregnancy. I've clarified to several people - I'm not saying by any means our family is done growing (be it an animal adding to our family or maybe another baby or child in the distant future), but I am so done having children. Pregnancy is rough on me and it makes me happy to think this is the last time I'll be sleeping for months on the couch. The last time I'll be barely able to walk due to sore hips/back (I hope!). The last c-section I'll have to go through. And in a few years, hopefully we'll be back to sleeping through the night! :)

But I also am sad it's my last pregnancy. It's the last time I'll feel a baby move inside me. The last time I'll get to hold one of my babies for the first time (best feeling ever!). The last time we'll nervously bring our baby to our house for the first time. The last time we'll do a first bath. So, I'd be lying if I said I wasn't somewhat sad that this is my last pregnancy.

Only 7 weeks or less left.... I schedule my actual c-section sometime between my 34-36 week appointments. I'm definitely getting nervous, anxious, excited.... and a little sad. Can't wait to meet this baby boy!

Tiny Dancer's Last Year of Preschool

Tiny Dancer just started her last year of preschool this week! I cannot believe that next year she will be heading off to kindergarten! The girl cannot wait. Seriously, she was begging me to let it be her birthday again so she could be 5. I tried explaining it to her - hopefully she got it.

1) I can't do that. 2) I don't wanna!!

I'm enjoying my last year of her only being away from me for 2 1/2 hours. :)

This year, she is actually riding the bus to and from school. The first day, I was a nervous wreck, but she got on all smiles and came off practically glowing. She told me they played a game and she won. So I asked her to explain the game to me and she said, "They said who can keep their back against the seat the best and I won!"

I'm not surprised - that's my little rule follower! She takes her bus riding experience very seriously. :)

I wish I could share a picture of her getting on or off the bus, but they take preschoolers riding it very seriously, so I'm trying to juggle keys, cell phone and my ID to show them... no room or time to take a picture!
