Be Green

Happy St. Patti's Day! No corned beef for us this year. Hubby not the biggest fan and eating leftovers isn't that yummy. This year we've planned an impromptu double date with friends and no kids at a nice restaurant out of town that we've always wanted to try. My friend texted me though yesterday saying to make sure and keep this baby in. Getting tired of the morning Braxton Hicks which now sometimes go in and out through the day (like today). I know it's preparation for the real thing but grrr, it wears on you.

It's been so rainy here all week and I'm glad because we needed it. Last night it really came down. Maggie played outside and rode her trike around with snails in the back.

All I ever do these days is fall asleep with Maggie at night and wake up really early before the rest of the family. Have I said yet how good this rice pudding is when you are 9 months pregnant? My belly is all out front and the past couple days I've noticed while eating that crumbs end up residing on top of my belly.

Maggie is officially 3! She scored on presents...lipgloss, purse, Olivia DVD and book, rocking cradle for her babies, and lots of clothes. When she really liked something, it was fun to see her reaction and excitement! She bounced her way through the night and had a clean bill of heath at the doctor that day.

As with last time around, I was going through this book the other night looking up names as we hadn't decided on a full name yet. We have a good idea now and he'd argue, but hubby won't really give me the go until we see this baby boy. The book has a bunch of "fun lists" and on the Comfy Names list, both Maggie and our boy nickname were listed together. One of our likely boy names is on the Names for Smart Kids. Better than being on some of the other lists titled Old Maids and Grumpy Old Men, Wimpy Names, Future Workaholics, Macho Men, Soap Opera Names, Bad to the Bone/Death Row Names, and the fun lists go on...

The baby room is put together and things for the most part organized (including new paint) in the room, wood chips were delivered, cat got a haircut, carpets cleaned today, lots of laundry done, and homebirth supplies ready.

Things to still do are fun things now - put in the vegetable garden and re-do the front yard area with new plants, touch up the baby room paint trim, have hubby do the belly cast, and have more fun reading and trying to get a hat made for the baby (and a knit rabbit for miss mags).
