38 weeks and 2 days. This little man is staying where he is for the time being. I am feeling remarkably calm about the birth and the baby. I may be in denial. Months of breast feeding, pumping, juggling toddler, baby, dog, mother and husband are ahead of me. Mmm, still feeling calm and overwhelmingly content.

I can't help but love my life right now. Today, for example, we were home bound as yesterday Rose threw up her stomach contents at music class. There is nothing like having a bra full of half digested kiwi and curdled milk. Instead of going to story time, we tidied and rearranged "Nonnie's room", harvested and hung up lavender and sage, made shape cards, and walked in the beautiful October sunshine. Brent came home and we ate homemade squash soup, homemade coleslaw and grilled cheese sandwiches on homemade bread. I'm now knitting Brent's jumper while the baby excerisies his limbs. I'm living a dream.

Here is a photo of Rose moments after spontaneously getting out her mat and showing Brent her new shape cards. Yay montessori!
