Full Term

Well I've made it to 37 weeks! Which means, Baby Boy Foss could come whenever he feels like it! We are very excited but also pretty nervous. We are rushing to get all the last minute things ready. Even though we understand that have the stuff set up doesn't actually make us ready to be parents, it sure does make us feel better! Thanks to wonderful family and friends (who will be getting actual thank you notes despite the ridiculous delay) we have so many amazing things to sleep, clothe, and entertain the little man. He is starting off pretty spoiled and with a family like his I think that trend will continue. :-)

So now that I'm undenyable pregnant I get a lot of attention. Here are the questions I'm asked every day:

When are you due? (July 2nd)

Do you know what you are having? (Yes, a boy)

Do you have names picked out? (We have a few contenders but we are going to wait to meet him before deciding.)

What are the names? (nice try!)

How are you feeling? (Pretty good. Sleeping as much as I can, walking a lot, eating well-balanced meals and lots of desserts.)

Are you excited? (Yes, and scared. Thank you for reminding me!)

And that's pretty much how it goes.

I started maternity leave last week and I am loving it! There are so many errands to run and things to do that you just can't get done if you are behind a desk from 8-6 every day. I'm trying to find a balance of being very productive and relaxing and enjoying a few moments of selfish peace before our lives are turned upside down. Hobbes and I have a lot of fun during the day. We walk in the morning and then I do work around the house or at the computer and he does some very intensive napping. He is a roaming napper. About an hour per location and then he moves on. I assume it is his way of guarding every room which is a big job so no wonder he is so knackered. Oh also he has some very important playdates. Just about every afternoon, 2 little boys from up the street come pounding on the door to ask if Hobbes can come out and play. Seriously, that's exactly what they ask and it is so adorable. So Hobbes plays soccer in their front yard and it is a lovefest between them all. I'm just lucky that I am allowed to tag along with our much more popular family member. It has been a great way to get to know the neighbors.

Got to get ready for my weekly doctor's appointment this morning. I will post pics soon of the progress, both in my belly region and in the nursery!
