We are now just past the 35 week point! Which means that there is less than 5 weeks to go. And if I happen to go into labor anytime after the next week and a half or so, they will not try and stop it! I am now going to the doctor once a week. We have completed some refresher childbirth and breastfeeding classes and Payton has taken his sibling class. It was nice to go to these refresher courses. Even though we have gone through it before, it was nice to hear some things again and from a different perspective. Payton did great at the sibling class. I see a teachers pet in my future! He was very into the class and answered all of the teachers questions, and even a bunch that she didn't ask! This week we had an appointment at the hospital to get preregistered and get a lot of paperwork filled out. So it looks like we are almost ready! The next thing on our list is to pack our bags! Not only do I need to pack a bag for Justin and myself, but I also need to pack one for Payton! He will be staying with Grandma Joy while we are in the hospital. She will be taking him to/from school and to visit us at the hospital. We really want to keep his life as normal as possible during this transtion period. Luckily, my mom knows our routine and his schedule and the rules that we expect him to follow. So, that takes a huge amount of stress off of our shoulders by knowing that he will be able to follow pretty much the same routine with her. It is going to be crazy enough for him having a sibling after being an only child for 4 1/2 years, we don't want to also make things chaotic for him at home. He is still very excited to have a baby brother and talks about him constantly! The other day he told me that he was going to teach his brother to go potty in the potty, but since he would be small he would have to hold him over the potty so he didn't fall in!
Besides getting ready for baby, we have been enjoying the nicer weather. We have been able to play outside a lot. Payton starts TBall practice next week, so I am sure that will be interesting! Justin is thrilled and went and bought him a bat and a fancy tee. He can hit pretty well, but is not really into listening to the directions. So lets hope he does better with the coach then with daddy! He has also been really into playing school lately. He will 'read' to us, the cats, or his animals and even call on us as if we are in class.
This is Payton sort of playing basketball (the neighbors were mowing, so sorry for the load noise):
