We took Harrison to the science museum over the weekend and he had a blast! He's been in love with Curious George's Dinosaur Discovery and we took him to see he dinosaurs and other fun science things. He always plays that he's digging for dinosaurs. But he found a lot of other things at the museum fun, especially the floating bouncy ball. Harrison was very good and shared the exhibits with the other kids and was good about taking turns. It helped that the museum wasn't very busy at 9:30 in the morning. I'm excited to take him again in he future, when I don't have to sit down every couple of minutes.
36 weeks along and I am so ready for this baby. My body is tired and it boggles me that I could be pregnant for another 5 weeks. Harrison was a week late and I'm hoping this one doesn't go quite that long, but I'll definitely be mentioning to my doctor that I don't want to surpass 41 weeks.
However, I do have a feeling that I won't be pregnant as long as I was with Harrison. I've been having a lot more Braxton hicks and it seems I am already passing my mucus plug (yay, pregnancy things!). I'm just ready and get a little excited whenever I get a contraction.
The baby is sitting really low, grinding painfully on occasion. I'm mastering the waddle again.
I've realized that I have barely gotten any pregnancy pictures this time around. Maybe I'll catch a few this weekend.
I've read a lot of articles of "Things to never say to a pregnant woman" or "things to never say to a new mom". Honestly, most of the things on the lists don't bother me much. However, my biggest pet peeve is never on the lists. I've heard it so many times. I'll express my excitement over the baby or that pregnancy is no cake walk (not for me anyway) and I hear "Oh, once it's out you'll wish it's back in"
Never once have I wished Harrison "back in" and I don't see any change with this one. The whole point of being pregnant is to have a child, I didn't get pregnant for the constant nausea and heart burn. I like babies. I'm excited for the baby part and Harrison having a little brother. I'm still nervous about keeping up with breast feeding and making sure he's happy and healthy, just like the first time around. But I will still take the craziness and anxiety of having a new baby over being pregnant.
Anyways, I know in no time we'll have the baby and everything will be a blur. But in the current moment, it's taking forever. I thought February was supposed to be the shortest month.
Also, Harrison got a pack of combs (couldn't find yellow though, which is what he wanted) and he carried them around for days.
