Almost Time

Well I am 38 weeks a day or two shy from when I delivered both girls although it looks as though this little one will stay put until induction day which is scheduled for the 24th. We won't get out of hospital until Thanksgiving. I am ready. I am not miserable though, hardly any contractions etc. He is quite chill like the girls in the womb. I don't get a ton of kicks. I am so excited to meet him. I guess with it being a boy it seems like your first in a way. But I am not anxious. I think the girls will like having a baby brother. Allison is super excited and I think she will be able to help a lot. Mary is excited but I think she still likes being the baby so we will see how she does. I think she will be much easier to adjust than Allison since MP will have someone to play with (allison) She kisses my stomach a lot. Allison loves to feel my stomach move. I don't think MP realizes the baby will actually come out of mommy's stomach. :) They are both such cute ages, trying INDEED. and I need to work on my nerves. I know it will be hard when the baby is here when I have MP home with me 3 days of the week. I know I will be tired and it will be hard keeping her and doing stuff and trying to sleep. That was the hardest with Allison and we ended up after the first month putting her in Primrose full time which helped. So we will see. I have a girl that says she can come and help on Tuesdays and Thursdays but I am afraid she will want to just hold the baby. So we will see. I can't believe Thanksgiving is upon us and the Christmas season. I am super excited about the baby being here and not being pregnant anymore. I think about it being my last and I know later I will miss pieces of it. SO I am trying to remember things :) Right now me and Mary on the days off keep ourselves quite busy. I used to work out and do an errand in the morning then put her down for nap then get allie from Kinder or bus drops her off. Since I have been more pregnant and not working out at gym I usually do a couple of errands or we will go to park or meet someone and then come home have lunch watch a little tv. Our schedule goes like this: 645: wake allie up and give her cereal or waffle with PB :) while she watches Sofia, Mickey etc get her dressed, she brushes teeth, pack her lunch/water bottle/snack etc and then leave house around 725. Mary usually gets up by 7 and we all get in car. I will either walk Allie in or usually try to do carpool but lately Allison has been wanting me to walk her to front door of school. Then come home feed Mary waffle with syrup or cereal and then get dressed to start the day. Usually leave house by 9/930 and then do errands, come home around noon (or after if we went out for lunch) then have her watch a show before nap then she goes to sleep around 1 then Allison gets home around 304 and starving. Allison always wants fruit snacks, granola bar and then surprisingly wants to play not veg out and watch a show. On Mondays we have gymnastics at 4 so she snacks and then gets dressed and we head out. SO i try to get dinner done once she is off bus. On the other days we will sometimes go to park or go do an errand or just hang out and get dinner etc ready and then Will gets home around 5-515. We usually try to eat around 545/6 and then baths right after and then they can play or watch tv until about 730 which we start books etc. Allison has been doing some homework which is sight words etc and then bedtime is at 8. by about 815 we are telling MP to be quiet etc and then they fall asleep :) but its still a better schedule than what it was this summer as girls were going to bed way too late. We will see how this all changes with baby Luke. crazy that things are all going to change. Allison still hates to eat MP doesn't eat very well either but she isn't picky. Allison is still very picky. Allison is doing really well in Kindergarten and I am glad I started her. She seems to have good friends or like her friends. She also seems to be excelling in reading/math etc. She is learning a ton. I like her teacher, real sweet. I am still really liking Prosper, met some really nice people. We will see how this new adventure goes :)
