Nathan update
Well, we are definitely in the home stretch. The 2nd trimester has flown by so fast. (also read the summer has flown by so fast!) I had a check-up this past friday and things are going great. My blood pressure has been perfect this pregnancy, Praise the Lord. My glucose test came out fine and I haven't gained as much weight as I did with the other two by this point.
This baby boy is very active. I think he is practicing for keeping up with the other two before he even gets here. I really don't remember the other two being quite this active in utero. And this scares me just a little if I dwell on it.
Most days I feel great. Then I do too much (or so I am told) and spend a day or two doing not much of anything. I have moved Lexie out of the crib, so it stands empty waiting for it's newest occupant. It is driving me crazy that I can't pick what bumper pads/theme/direction I want to go in order to have the bed fully ready. It doesn't matter that he will probably sleep in the bassinet in our room until January. Don't try to reason with a pregnant woman. I have also been organizing toys, getting rid of toys, and separating out the baby toys from all of the other toys. These have been cleaned and refreshed and assembled in the top of the nursery closet waiting to be played with again.
Thank you so much to the Shipp's for the very welcome addition of some fall/winter newborn boy clothes, something we were lacking- both of our kids having been summer babies. I think I will get out the baby boy blankets/burp cloths box out of the shed this week and get those washed and in the dresser.
My brain swims with projects to do. How many will get done? I don't know. How many need to get done? I don't know. With the potential life-changing shake-up next summer I am wanting to empty and go through essentially everything we own. Getting rid of stuff, selling stuff on Ebay and organizing stuff to the point where it cannot be organized anymore. That cannot happen before this baby gets here. In fact, I'm not sure if it can be done at all. In order to take a half step in any direction with that plan I have to take a step back. Resulting in the which I don't have the foggiest where to start or step. And my all encompassing/organizing/cleaning machine is beginning to overheat with the stalled frustration. But suddenly this post is more about something other than Nathan. Can't wait for Nathan to get here. It would be easier to do all of this if he were in a sling rather than inside me. But he has a few more weeks to grow and get fat. I go back to the doctor on the 20th and will take care of registering at the hospital and with the anesthesiologist. That makes things feel very close indeed. But then when I think about school starting and the holidays things feel very far away...

I know, the last few months have just flown...
Anyway, wanted to wish you luck and tell you to hang in there. Won't be long now!
