Preparing

Well, we are slowly preparing ourselves for our little girl.  I had a sonogram last Thursday because I am measuring a bit small, but she is right on target and just riding really low. That checkup prompted me to shift things around a bit in the "baby corner" of our apartment, so she now has several baskets full of pink clothes waiting for her. And we pulled the cradle out as well and got that all fixed up. Jackson is quite curious about the new bed and toys that have appeared over the weekend, so I can only imagine what he will be thinking when the baby is actually here! 
Speaking of Jackson...he has been preparing as well. I have started letting him attempt to feed himself which is messy but he is gradually making progress. Yogurt is a favorite at the moment, although it is apparently great for finger painting as well as eating...I need to work on that with him. Daylight Savings threw him off a bit though as well as the fact that he slipped in the shower last night and busted his lip. I sure hope the injuries are few and far between, especially once his sister arrives. It could be crazy around here otherwise. 
Brandon has an intense couple of weeks coming up for school with several projects and papers due. Of course that is how it would be right as I am nearing my due date as well. Hopefully he can get ahead on some things early this week though just in case the baby comes early. For now, we wait...

After eating yogurt for 10 minutes, it is now getting spread on the cabinets
One cute little mess.
Banana in hand, busted lip, and ready for bed.
That lip is hardcore!

Poor Jackson! Better not let Grandmommie see that lip - she will have a fit - we will have to go out for some ice cream when we come down to make it better!!
