Have you ever noticed that Mondays are one of those days that you wish could be avoided? I do all of the time. (well at least weekly) Everyone seems to be in an off mood? I know that on Mondays I am particularly crabby. I think it is because my husband is going back to work, and I am going to be alone etc. But that may just be me feeling needy, which I am sure is the case.

Wow I feel like I am going to be so busy the next few weeks I’m not quite sure what to do with myself. My three year old is starting pre-school on the 5th. I am so excited for him but then again I want to know where the time all went. Alex is my baby how can he be starting school? Very depressing. I suppose that it is only 2 days a week and only from 9:15 - 11:45 am. I am sure that some of you are wondering how I managed to get him in to school in the middle of the school year. Well he is going to a “special” program designed to help children with learning disabilities. My son was recently “diagnosed” mild to moderately Autistic. This is something that I have known for quite sometime but was unable to get help with because the Dr office refused to get me a referral for the testing. That was a fight and a half for almost 2 years. But now he is going to get the help that we both need and I think that it will be a really positive situation for him.

My baby shower is set to be on the 8th of March. I think that my mom is cutting it alittle close. I am due on the 29th but they are not going to let me go past the 22nd ish. I am also getting the information from the Dr that they are not positive I am going make it that far even. I am getting there. My body seems to be progressing in dilation and effacement, so here’s hoping that I don’t have the baby at the shower.

Being this pregnant is absolutely no fun. I just wish that it was over. However I am still afraid that I am not going to be prepared for her arrival. We still have not gotten our bassinet, swing, breast pump etc., yet and we won’t be able to for another three or four days. I am really excited about the bassinet and swing that we picked out for her. Yes, I do mean we. My husband Shaun and I spend all of Saturday looking for ones that we liked and even managed to agree on them.

We found it at target it is really neat. It has an a/c adapter and it glides side to side or back and fourth just like she would be in the womb. It plays songs and the feature that my husband was drooling over was that it has an MP3 player attachment. How cool is that? Can’t you just see a little tiny baby rocking out to Disturbed? No??? Don’t worry me either. But the hubby thought that it was just too cool. (What more can I expect from my nerd though? )

The other thing that I found at Target was the bassinet. It looks like an old time cradle. Shaun and I both really liked it.

This is not the exact one that we saw because the bedding was a more neutral color and the wood was very dark. It was very pretty.

Well I am going to go and spend some time with the hubby he is home from work early. Have a good one.
