1. Aaron turned 5 two weeks ago. Evan turned 3 Monday. Last night at dinner, Aaron asked whose birthday was next, and whilst I was racking my brain to see which family member's birthday was next, Michael said, "our new baby" and I about spit out my water. Oh, yeah, that is coming up soon, isn't it?!
2. Saturday will mark 37 weeks of pregnancy. On that note, I've never felt "READY!" to have a pregnancy be over. I've always felt that gestation was the easiest time to be a parent. This time is much different, just the way I'm carrying this baby. Lots of pain and discomfort, but it will be worth it. And, I now have cankles. So come Saturday, I will be delivering (heh, heh) an eviction notice to the child within.
3. I am now taking guesses for birth date, size, and gender of our baby. The winner will get something. My due date is 9/10/11.
4. I love summer produce, but right now it is overtaking my kitchen and my life. I have 3 kinds of jam to make, this week. I can't find my jam jars, despite my empty garage. I was going to cook up a storm this week and next to fill the freezer with precooked meals for post-baby family nourishment, but it's full of berries to make jam. And the clutter around here is getting worse, not better. I need a personal assistant.
5. The TV Karts at Meijer are SO not worth the extra $1. It ended up that I paid more for a headache that could have been avoided by just getting a normal cart. The spelling error should have tipped me off. Someday I will learn. At least the $1 goes to a good cause.
6. Michael and I had a great weekend away last weekend. We were going to go up north but decided to go shop at IKEA instead. We slept, we ate out, we shopped. We slept IN until 9:40. Now that was bliss. And then we shopped again and just enjoyed not having to think about nap time or sippy cups or potty stops for 24 hours. Thanks, mom & dad. It was so nice to get away.
7. Speaking of potty stops, it's Evan's turn to potty train. Oh, dear. He's got it about 2/3 of the time. When I remember to remind him. Oh, dear.
That's it. Now, please excuse me. I have some nesting to do.

Let's see, how about Aug. 21 for the birthday. ha ha That's probably too soon. How about Labor Day? Wouldn't that be funny? I'm sure you don't want to wait that long. My guess on size is 7 lbs & 13 oz, 19 inches long. I think it will be a GIRL! Praying for you, friend!
Jenny, you are Priceless. I finally had a few minutes to get caught up with your blog today and all your posts made me smile because they were so YOU. Way to go, getting super prepared for Baby #3! I'll bump you up on my daily prayer list as the Big Day approaches. My guess - Sept. 3 (my Dad's BD), 6 lbs, 19 inches, girl! :)
Love,
Kristi
