38+ weeks

I am over 38 weeks pregnant now and the day of Kellen's arrival is coming up quickly...now if we only knew exactly which day that would be.

38 weeks - I debated about whether or not to even put this up, but oh well!

I know it will be soon because as of Friday, I was 3 1/2 cm and 75% effaced.

House progress is going great. Our contractor said probably 3-4 weeks until we can move in. Sheetrocking is finished and taping and texturing is happening. Siding is also going up today. All of our appliances are in and I think I have most of the stuff ready. I am so excited to see it all put together after planning for so long. Just thinking about the fact in 6 weeks, I will be the mom of 2 boys and we will be in our brand new house makes me so happy.

Payton is very excited about the house and his baby brother and talks about both of them a lot although I am not really sure what he understands about either one of them. He loves going down and looking through "his" house and knows where to go if you ask him to show you his room. He also knows which room is for baby Kellen. He picks up Kellen's clothes and puts them on my stomach and says "baby." But it should be interesting to see what happens when the baby comes to stay with us :)

He loves being outside and the cold weather doesn't seem to bother him. The only time he even complained is when he ran outside after my mom when she was leaving on the morning it snow into the snow with only a diaper on. His excitement turned into screaming pretty quickly. Once he was appropriately clothed however he loved it. This rocking horse I got for Christmas when I was Payton's age. Now that he discovered it he loves it.

He loves bubble baths and when you give him a bath without bubbles he will say "no bubbles" with a sad look on his face.Payton taking pictures of himself in the carThis is Payton's latest game. He uses the frisbee to collect all of the balls in the house while trying to keep them all balanced. It is hilarious when one falls off and he bends over to pick it up because the others will start spilling off as well. He finally figured out if he sets the frisbee down, he can put them all on and pick it up without them spilling.As you can see in this picture and some of the others Payton got his hair cut again. I intended to cut it the same way I cut Gregg's, using the buzzer on the sides and back and scissors on the top, but he got impatient with the blending, so I ended up buzzing the whole thing. I was so sad at first that I cut it so short, but its growing on me. I guess its time for him to look older now that he will be a big brother any day.
