Well I am officially 34 weeks pregnant right now, so technically I'll be full term in just 3 weeks. I posted our baby pool on the expectnet website, so if you go to my previous post you can just click on the expectnet icon and go right to our baby game.
Things around here have been busy as always, I am excited to get done with this week and then coast through the month of May. My last day of work will be May 18 and I'm excited to be done with that. Even though I only work three mornings a week, it's been a real pain sometimes and I'm excited to just be home full time again. God bless all those working moms out there, I don't know how you do it full-time!
Henry's attachment to his blanky has grown stronger lately, and while it's funny I have to admit I'm a little nervous that he is becoming a blanky junkie. We have two blankies and no opportunity to get any more because Carter's discontinued the blanky right after Henry was born. We were just lucky that Linliey wasn't crazy about hers and was willing to give it up so we have a spare.
But last week one of the blankies was missing for a few days and I spent more time than I'd like to admit searching the house for it. We forbid Henry to take it out of the house so I knew it was in here somewhere. I looked like a madwoman, tearing cushions off couches, digging through drawers, etc. Mike said to me, "Well he has one left, it's not that big of a deal." "NOT THAT BIG OF A DEAL???? He NEEDS that blanky!!" I said. "Well, if he loses the remaining one he'll just have to get over it," was Mike's reply. Clearly he did not understand the blanky addiction like I do. I mean, I have to pry the nasty things out of Henry's hands once a week so the slobbery things can get washed. They really are gross, they have bits of dried food on them, slobber, mucous, and other disgusting things on there I don't care to mention. Anyway, the blanky turned up when I washed the sheets on our bed, Henry sits in our bed while I shower in the morning and holds the blanky, and it must have gotten stuck in the sheets and worked its way down to the foot of the bed. So I'm prepared to start researching rehab centers for blanky addiction, because as Michael Keaton as Jack Butler said in "Mr. Mom" when telling his son to give up his wooby, "Before you know it, you're strung out on bedspreads." We will not let this happen to Henry!

Little did I know that buying that blanket would turn out to be such an addiction! I do remember however a little girl who wouldn't part with her Raggy Doll and she turned out okay! :-)
