I'm currently waiting for butter to soften so I can make homemade frosting for Jeremy's homemade birthday cake! Shhh... don't tell him, though! :) The kids are napping so I thought I'd write a bit, since I've been forgetting late at night. (Side note: this has been a GREAT week for naps from those two, surprisingly! Don't know if it's from all the activity, or because they've both been fighting colds, or what, but I'll take it!)
Jeremy... is outside helping dig out a neighbor's van. He was out late last night trying to clear our pipestem with a borrowed snow blower. And he was out most of yesterday morning/early afternoon trying to shovel/dig out his car! Needless to say, he's been doing much snow moving lately.
Jess... has been perfectly happy being stuck indoors. :) Been chillin', cooking, baking, napping, etc... And I still think I overdid it! Last night was a really uncomfortable/painful night. But it went away, so no early babies! :) However, I'm taking this as a sign to take it a bit more easy in the future. Not that I did anything physically taxing yesterday, but obviously something I did wasn't jiving with baby and body. But it's all good now. :) We're almost 36 weeks! AHH!! It's now sinking in how much we still have left to do! Jeremy needs to get our spa set up in Jesslyn's room, which means Jesslyn has to move OUT, which means we need to get the playroom emptied and painted! AHHHHH! Yeah... and I need to find some random supplies, like a heating pad (it's around here somewhere....) and some Gatorade, etc. Need to set up the pack and play somewhere, get out newborn clothes (OH MY GOSH!! NEWBORN CLOTHES!!!) And so on and so forth. I think I need to get my Mom over here to help me out!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!
Jeremiah... is napping, noisily, in his crib. :( Apparently, he no longer likes his new bed, and wants us to bring it back, yet again. Guess we'll just be making him quit cold turkey! What's he going to do, then? Sleep on the floor? I'm sure that'd get old really quickly.
Jesslyn... is quite the talker, as I've said before. She'll repeat almost ANYTHING you say! Today, she repeated me when I said, "Miss Leslie" and "superbowl" etc.. It's really cute hearing big words come out of such a little mouth. :) She thinks her mouth is much bigger than it really is, though--often, when she eats, she'll try to shove large amounts of food in her mouth, instead of taking bites. It's really annoying, because then she starts to gag, and spits it all out. Yuck. Oh well. I guess we'll just have to cut everything up really tiny for her, and only give her a little at a time, instead of letting her have a free for all. Sigh... you're not a baby anymore, Jesslyn! You're almost 17 months! Time to eat like a big girl! Oh well.
Off to frost my cake! :)
