Garrett goes to Preschool!

Garrett started preschool/Mother's Day Out at church this week. His classroom is the same classroom he has for Sunday School, so he's just like bye Mom and never looks back. Which is good, but also shows how grown-up he has gotten. He only goes for 3 hours twice a week, but I think it will be a nice break for me and gives me a chance to go to doctors appointments without having to find someone to watch him.

He has became an 'explainer'. He has to tell you a very long reason for everything that he does. Our conversations have become quite interesting. It's hard to believe that he will be 3 next month!

Here are two pictures from his first day of school:

Now a baby update: The nursery is completely ready and our bags are packed. My midwife 'guesses' that he will be here between 37 and 38 weeks because Garrett was early and I sure hope she is right. You forget how miserable the last few weeks of pregnancy are. So far I am dilated 2 and he is finally head down (he has been a flipper and we were afraid he was breech). Everything is looking good. Their guess right now is that he weights between 5 1/2 and 6 pounds. So we are ready and just waiting for him to decide to come. I will officially be full-term in little over a week, so Garrett and I are going to start walking miles each day and hopefully the weather will cooperate (Atlanta is so hot!).

Getting Ready for Baby...

The Nursery

33 Week Belly

We are getting ever so close to baby boy being here. I will be 34 weeks on Thursday! I am ready! Pregnancy the second time around just isn't as fun and it doesn't help that it is soooo hot here in Atlanta! Garrett was born at 38 weeks, so my midwife thinks this baby will probably come about the same time, probably at 37 or 38 weeks. So possibly just 3 more weeks to go! We almost have our hospital bags packed and the nursery is almost done. Just a few more touches and it will be complete. Since Garrett was born in Kansas and we have never been to the hospital we are delivering at, we have a hospital tour on Saturday because the hospital is huge and we have no idea were anything is at.

I'm not sure Garrett is ready for him because the baby is going to be quite an adjustment for him. Some days he will talk about him and other days he won't. He told me that poop and pee is nasty when I told him that the baby is going to poop, pee and cry. We took him to Build-A-Bear last weekend to make the baby a bear and he wasn't really all that excited, so I picked out the bear, but he did put it in the crib and name the bear and is going to bring it to the hospital for the baby. Hopefully he will be a little more excited when the baby gets here. It should be a very exciting and interesting time at out house! The good thing is that David will be able to be home for 2 weeks after the baby is born to help us get adjusted.

An update on Garrett: He is getting ready to start Mother's Day Out at our church in two weeks and it's hard to believe that next month he will be turning 3! We have decided he has a good chance to become a comedian. He is so dramatic and is constantly saying things to make us laugh and wonder where he heard that. David spent two weeks in Baltimore recently, so me and Garrett went to Tennessee for a few days and he really enjoyed Mom and Dad's pool. He learned how to do a cannonball and would jump in a thousand times if you let him. He is big into cars, trucks and dinosaurs right now. I feel like we have a thousand Hot Wheels drug out every day!

That's all for now, we will keep everyone updated!
