Life's a Beech...

"Lennox, If you eat your meat you will get big muscles." - me
"Yeah, you will get big muscles like Pop." - my dad while making a muscle
"Pop have tiny muscles."- Lennox

"I sorry rain. I porgot my umbrewwa!" - Lennox while getting out at school in the rain (I don't think the rain cared that he forgot his umbrella

"I sorry daddy. I didn't bite you. I sorry. I will kiss it. I didn't bite you, ants bite you. You peel better now." - Lennox shaking his head and caring for the 3 mosquito bites on Jay's neck.

"Lennox, take that pacifier out of your mouth! Pacifiers are for babies, not big boys." - me after Lennox found a pacifier in the baby's room and thought it was his new best friend. "Lennox, do you want to be a baby?"
"Yes, I'm a baby"- Lennox, still sucking pacifier.
"Ok, I will have to get a bottle for you... baby." - me, thinking that he would say no.
"Ok, I want a bottle. I'm a baby." - Lennox, still sucking pacifier.
"Ok, well, if you want to be a baby you have to sleep in a baby bed." - me (threatening the crib)
"Ok. I want to sleep in a baby bed." - Lennox. "I want a baby and a bottle."
hmmm.... I think I need a new tactic. This one is definitely not working. This is going to be a difficult transition.

So it looks like I will have a new baby on or before October 23... definitely not after. How exciting. Really, it will be. Once I get my mind wrapped around it, I am sure I will be ecstatic. I am still torn about being induced. I am really hoping I will have the baby on my own around Wednesday or Thursday of next week. I don't really want to keep waiting though because I have to go back to work after Christmas regardless of how old the baby is by then. I know my body should tell me when I'm ready but I am on a schedule!! Also, I will feel more comfortable knowing that I have Lennox situated ahead of time. I am REALLY feeling the guilt about him not being the baby anymore. You see (above) what he said last night. He really wants to be a baby. I asked him why he wanted to be a baby and he said "because I can't get a baby." Not sure what that means. Jay and I were just hanging a mirror and some canvases on the wall in the baby's room and Lennox just wanted to "hold you." Yes, we are in for a rough time I believe.

I am off of work this week and next. That's kind of exciting but I also feel guilty about that. I'm sure that guilt will fade quickly. My doctor said I shouldn't be commuting and I gained 6 lbs in a week. I'm assuming that's fluid? :) I think the steady flow of tears at my appointment tipped her off that I need a break! I couldn't help myself. I was having a bad, bad day and the hormones were only enhancing the emotional breakdown! Ahhh well, it passed.
