I must be pregnant or something

Nesting is beginning to set in hard core around here, and I continue to be hit with these overwhelming urges to purge, organize, and assemble. Last night, I came up to Matt in a frantic state and blurted out that I absolutely had to find the baby papasan chair right that moment. He did not quite understand why the matter was so urgent, but the man is getting experienced with this whole pregnancy shindig and politely obliged. Thankfully, he was able to locate Mary Grace’s new throne without much difficulty, though Carson decided to revisit his infant days before the chair made it to her room last night. The child looks like a monster in that thing…
I can’t believe he was ever this small!!

Also, I have decided that it is a very bad idea to be this pregnant in the south in late summer. Holy moly, it has been HOT around here! I refuse to roast outside in the 95 degree 150% humidity heat, so it has taken quite a bit of creativity to keep Carson entertained indoors lately. Thankfully, he has really taken to playdoh and coloring in recent weeks which I am fully encouraging. Any activity that keeps him quiet and entertained for more than 5 minutes is a real winner around here. Oh, and we are diving headfirst into the “terrible two’s” which is delightful. Matt asked last night, “so how long will this last?” I told him that people are now saying that “three is the new two”… definitely not the answer he wanted to hear.My 30 week OB appointment was yesterday, and everything continues to look great. Now, I’m down to appointments every two weeks which really makes me realize that I will be a mother of two really soon. In the meantime, though, I’m just going to savor what little sleep I am getting and enjoy these last two months in our male dominated household.
