8 Weeks left


Ahhh, the countdown is on! 8 weeks left. Knowing my history, probably closer to 6. Bentley and Chloe were both early, so I am guessing this baby will be too. I feel alright. Not too uncomfortable, and I am still sleeping alright. I do have to wake up to pee occasionally, but that's not too bad. My back pain hasn't been too bad, I only notice it when I have overdone it. The day I took the crib apart to move it into my room I really felt it, but on a day to day basis I am alright.
I have managed to get some nesting done. I went through all of Bentley's old clothes and it was great to have so many outfits still in good condition. I only have to get a couple packs of socks and onsies and I should be set. I still have several totes of clothes that are 3-6 months, 6-9 and 9-12 that I haven't even attempted to go through yet. As soon as I get the crib put back together, the car seat bought, and my suitcase packed I should feel totally prepared. I am going to Salt Lake the 7Th of August for 3 days, so lets hope this baby doesn't pick that weekend to come! hahaha
I plan on working until the end of August, but cutting my hours back. I will return to work in mid October (depending on how I feel), but only as part time.
I feel the incessant urge to make list after list and make phone calls to the hospital and insurance company. I guess that's the nesting instinct kicking in.
I haven't posted much about Bentley lately and I feel totally guilty about it. He is such a good little boy that there isn't much to say about him.... He has become totally obsessed with Batman. The other day he insisted on wearing his Batman mask and cape in the grocery store. He were walking down the aisles and people kept walking up and saying "hi Batman!". He would look at them like they were crazy. It was hilarious! I am trying to decide if the new Batman movie is too scary for him, so if you have seen it, or know anyone who has - any input would be appreciated!

You are such a cute preggo chic. On the Batman note I would not recommend taking him to it. We sat in front of a 5 year old boy that cried and his parents had to take him out, but I don't know Bentley very well so let your mom instinct be your guide.

So if you wanted to be like 3 weeks late on the due date, then I could be the nurse delivering your baby and my cousin. haha. I won't make ya suffer that long. I call dibbs on Megan's though. As far as Batman goes, I've seen it twice. There were little kids there both times. Some cried and some loved it. I think Bentley might be one that loves it. Plus I haven't really ever seen him cry. Does he even produce tears? haha
