I am very pleased to announce that this morning Reid went into the bathroom, shut the door, removed his own clothes and "did his business" on the potty (and then started screaming for me to come help him clean up). This is FABULOUS! He didn't use one cloth diaper this weekend AND only used one pull-up. He also announced afterwards that he is now ready to go to preschool. I can't even begin to tell you how excited I am about this!
Yesterday, Jeremy & I spent the afternoon in Raleigh/Durham WITHOUT the boys (thanks, Grandma Burns). We had a nice afternoon, accomplishing absolutely nothing, and topped the day off with a trip to the Melting Pot. The Melting Pot is one of our favorite restaurants and is definitely not someplace to take the kids (yet, anyway). It is amazing how relaxed we both were by the end of the day. Yeah, there were a lot of things here that needed done, but there will always be stuff at home to do. I'm glad we took a little time to be grown-ups! Plus, I think we may have agreed upon a boy name yesterday.
Did I mention that we are completely ready for the baby now? The nursery is done (and probably won't be this clean again for another 3 years when we move out of this house). The infant seat is installed in the van. In fact, my hospital bags are almost 100% packed -- just a few things are left that just can't be packed until we're ready to go. Oh, and I have my final meeting with my doula, Doris Ann, tomorrow night. (For those who don't know, a doula is a labor assistant -- someone who is there simply to provide comfort and support to the mother and who does not provide medical care.). My goal is for a completely natural childbirth and I'm hoping Doris Ann will help me achieve that! In spite of the fact that we're ready, I'm still in no hurry for this babe to arrive. I'm trying to enjoy these last few weeks of pregnancy (which I plan to never experience again) and spend as much time with the boys as possible before disorder erupts again!
