Today marks 49 days or less until little precious Corbin arrives! 49 days seems short when I think about all the things I still need to do and then at the same time it seems very long when I think about how hot it is and how uncomfortable I am.
In the next 49 days.....
*We need to finish Corbin's nursery. The walls are painted and the furniture is in but that's about it. I am working on washing Cason's baby clothes and putting them away in Corbin's closet and organizing all of Cason's baby items we stored. We still need several new things for Corbin but we do have a lot that we saved and can use from Cason's baby days. Corbin's bedding is set to ship on or before July 29th.
*I have 49 more days to suffer in this extreme Texas HEAT (all during the biggest and most uncomfortable part of my pregnancy). Of course I am set to have a baby on August 29th during the hottest summer since 1980. These are the temperatures for this week---and it is only the beginning of July. I can only imagine how horrible August will be. The last time I was pregnant, I only had to go to May 11th---the weather wasn't bad at all. AND last time I was pregnant, I didn't have a 2 year old who wanted to be outside ALL day long. It is so bad that when Scott and I want to say the word outside in front of Cason, we have to spell it to avoid an all out fit.
*Only 49 more days to spend with my precious Cason as an only child. I plan to cherish these last few days with Cason as an only child because I know once Corbin gets here, I will have to split my time between the two boys. Cason is used to having me all to himself, so I know this will be a big transition for him.
*49 more days to sleep all through the night (sort of). I am not sleeping great at night right now. Between the frequent bathroom trips and my inability to get comfortable, I am awake often during the night. However, I am not up having to feed and take care of a newborn----I can just lay in bed and relax right now. I plan to enjoy my last few nights of sleep!
*49 more days to enjoy nap time :). Right now, when Cason naps I have at least 2 hours to get things accomplished around the house, clean, do laundry, cook, or just rest if I need to. I know that this will soon be over and it will be a miracle if both boys are asleep at the same time. I plan to enjoy this.
*49 more days to get caught up on Cason's baby book! I really need to get up to date on our family scrapbooks before baby #2 arrives. I know I will get behind again but I would like to get caught up before Corbin arrives.
*49 days until I get to hold my new baby boy! I am very excited to meet sweet Corbin and hold him in my arms for the very first time.
We forgot to take our 32 week picture yesterday so hopefully we will get it taken sometime this week.
Cason news:
*He is 26 months old today.
*He has cut his two bottom 2 year old molars and is currently working on the top two.
*This weekend he decided that he would start saying:
Madi instead of Mama
Lucy instead of CiCi
Elmo instead of Melmo
*He can also say Corbin's name great and is working on his own name but hasn't got it down just yet. He mostly still calls himself "Ca" but now (with some pleading) he will sometimes call himself "Ca-shew". Like cashew but with a long a sound---LOL
*And sweet little Cason decided that my iPhone needed to go swimming in his kiddie pool Saturday so mommy had to get a new phone. Scott was filling up his kiddie pool with the water hose and I went inside to grab a bottle of water---I was inside for less than a minute and my poor phone bit the dust. Cason was throwing all his toys into the pool as Scott was filling it up and I guess he thought he might want to play with my phone while he was in his pool as well. Scott immediately grabbed it but it was too late. We tried rice, blow dryers, Scott even took the thing apart----we could not revive the phone :(
The bad thing is that Scott sat on his phone a couple of weeks ago and the screen is shattered. He really is the one that needed a new phone but now he has to wait until August--poor daddy.
