Lately....

• Feeling an overwhelming sense of guilt and pity for Lennox because he is only going to be the baby for a little while longer. I know that it will be good for him to have a sibling but I also feel like I am taking something away from him by having her... I hope that is normal. I think that is why I can't just toughen up and make him stay in the big boy bed.
• I went back to the doctor yesterday for my 25 week check up. My blood sugar levels have been ok since I started using the glucometer. I hope they stay that way. I am still convinced that I am not diabetic, I just can't pass the glucose tolerance test. What do these medical people know anyway...? (that's a joke)
• I go back to the doctor in 3 weeks and I get to have an unexpected ultrasound. Apparently last time the tech didn't get a good picture of the baby's face. Hopefully we can go ahead and verify again that, despite the size of my belly, there is still only one baby inside. I would also like confirmation that I am, in fact, having a girl. If I am not having a girl, some of you might want to get my ebay seller id! This child's closet is already reaching capacity.
• We put together the new baby bed. I feel a little guilty that Lennox got a very nice bedroom set when he was born and this baby gets a crib from Hudson's with a garage sale dresser. Times are rough people! It will be cute when I am finished. Anyway, what is this guilt problem that seems to accompany pregnancy?!
• Lennox has decided that his name is spelled with only one N. L-E-N-O-X! I am proud that he can spell something close to his name but I don't know how to get him to add the extra N.
• Jay and I had our 5th anniversary last Friday. Yep, five years. I can't believe it has only been 5... seriously. We had a big celebration. I got home from work about 730 and made quesadillas then did homework! We are both such romantics.
• We picked out Lennox's presents for his birthday. Since his dream in life is to be a heavy equipment operator, we got him a remote controlled back hoe and bull dozer. I also bought him about 10 books... which I already gave him. Guess which one is his favorite!? The heavy equpiment book and he particulary likes the back hoe & excavator page. He stares at it for what seems like hours and says "OOooo see dat? See dat back hoe... What dis? Escabatator (or something like that for giant excavator)!" It's the little things. Now if I could just find someone with a bull dozer to come to the party...
• I finished one of my classes and have 2 tests left in the other one! Now that is exciting.
• I ordered cloth diapers. Laura.... you might be proud of me! I only ordered 10 because I wanted to see how it went before I made a huge investment. I am excited though b/c they are really cute. I am watching a few others on ebay so maybe I will get lucky.
