Here I Am Again...

I am 3 days more pregnant than I've ever been. :-). According to the dr. this morning, I haven't made any progress, as far as dilating. Of course, I left my 38 week appt. with Leah quite disappointed because I was only a fingertip, and then she was born 2 days later, so... Dr. Fisher mentioned she was on call all weekend, and that would definately be good with me! Monday or Tuesday I noticed he definately "dropped," for whatever that's worth. I've slept much better this past week because he's in a different position, and I can breathe better. I also have the burst of energy they say comes when it's almost time. I've been using it to clean & get other things done, although there's not much I can do to finish Andrew's room.

Yesterday I got to go to the huge Kids Exchange Consignment Sale they have twice a year at the Fairgrounds. I always spend at least 3 or 4 hours there, looking through rows upon rows of toys, clothes, and all sorts of baby stuff. This year I didn't have quite as much time, but I really did rack up! I got a bouncer seat for Andrew (all we have is a swing & I wanted something to keep upstairs & downstairs both), a nice boy blanket, some receiving blankets, a changing pad cover, and several items of clothes for Leah, including 2 pairs of jeans and 3 pairs of pj's for fall. I wished I'd had more time, but then again, I might have spent way too much...

Then last night, Brett's work threw us (and 2 other girls he works with who are pregnant) a baby shower at K & S Cafeteria. We had a good time eating (Leah esp. enjoyed her spaghetti as you can see in the picture), and then we got way more gifts than we thought we would. They all pitched in together and got some things off our Target registry: a humidifier, a baby thermometer, some sleepers & receiving blankets, and some diapers-- all things we were still really needing!

So between the sale & the shower, I think we have absolutely everything we need. (Well, I don't have any diapers yet!) We have been so blessed with gifts of clothes & cheap furniture and everything, even though it is the 2nd baby... I hope he knows, now that he has everything he needs, he can come any day!
