This is my 200th post. Just an FYI, it's not going to be that exciting.
Over the past few days my energy has waned. I realize that I am a few days short of being 40 weeks pregnant, but since I went 42 weeks with both of the others, it seems klike it is early for me to feel just plain worn out. Maybe having my c-section scheduled this time has given me too much of a deadline. I haven't decided, yet. The conveniences of the scheduled c-section obviously outweigh the spontaneity of waiting to go into labor and then have a c-section.
I have been trying to cram a summer's worth of activities into a 3 week period. Summer doesn't really start here until July and then I'll be out of commission for a huge chunk of the rest of it. Over the last week we have gone to museums, movies, playgrounds and swimming. Not to mention playdates, clay class, trips to 7-11 and getting ready for my mom to come and the baby to arrive. So maybe that's why I'm tired. It could be the 100 degree heat. Or it could be that I woke up at 5 am and couldn't fall back to sleep for an hour. And Henry ended up in our bed again last night. I did enjoy watching him sleep for a while. He kept smiling and giggling. I wonder what he was dreaming about?
Luckily, I am married to Super Husband. He has been getting up with the kids and they are fed a dressed when he leaves for work. He has also been getting them to bed since I have YW and a million other things going on still. I like to think of all the quality time the boys are getting with their dad, but I am sure he is ready for me to have some of that quality time with them again.
I have 4 days left of pregnancy and I have to decide what I am going to do with it.
I think I will just enjoy it.

Deadlines can be nice, Madison was a planned induction and I had weeks to prepare, a little scary but at least I knew they would'nt send me home without having the baby first. When you go on your own it is nice but it seems to take over your life the last few weeks. Steve would ask me each day if I thought it would be today or not, if I knew the future I would be very rich! He sometimes seemed irritated that I did not have some revelation that today is the day. Good luck, I will be thinking of you and waiting to hear the wonderful news!
Good luck Phoebe. I'm so happy for you. New baby's are the BEST, I can't wait to have another one. I think it is a good idea to just enjoy the next 4 days, hopefully resting up a lot.
Doing fun things with the boys sounds like just the right thing to do before all of your lives are shaken up a bit with the new one. I was thinking of you today and how odd it must be to know that for sure next week (Tuesday, right?) you'll have a baby in the house.
Looking forward to hearing the details, seeing pictures and visiting in person in August!
we are super excited too - i keep telling everyone around here and they keep asking me if it's your first - as if we can't be super excited about a third baby.
