L's Due Date!

The day before my due date

Well, here we are, my due date! And still no sign of L coming to join us quite yet. K has started getting back on schedule, though he's still pretty stuffy from a bad cold. This is very much like the peace before the storm!

Several weeks ago, I was really hoping L would come early, or at least on time. Now, though, I've had a revelation! Life will never be as easy as it is now ever again! I only have one toddler to chase and I don't have many pregnancy pains to get in the way. Once L is born, I'll have a toddler to chase, a newborn to care for and feed around the clock, and a recovering postpartum body! I'm eager to welcome L into the world, but I have a renewed sense of patience that I definitely didn't have a little over a year ago when K was overdue.

The newest thing K does is walking around with his finger in his belly button. If he's wearing a shirt, he'll pull it up, find his belly button, and then walk around with his finger under his shirt. I haven't been able to get any pictures of this yet, but once I do, I'll definitely put it up!

Hopefully, it won't be too much longer before L comes... I'll keep you posted!

K loves to read! Here he is after
"reading" a Dr. Seuss book
out loud to me.
