House arrest

Shane has declared that I am officially under house arrest this week. He told me on Sunday that he'd rather I not go anywhere (i.e. WalMart, Sam's Club, commissary) in hopes that the baby boy will hold out on coming until at least this weekend. I can't say I'm elated over it, but I understand that he'd rather I not go into labor when he's not around to help. Let me tell you, nothing would thrill me more than my water breaking in the cereal aisle at the commissary :-P

We've (er, I've) gotten some house stuff done done this week (laundry & vacuuming), though the bathrooms are screaming for some attention. The last thing I feel like doing at this point is scrubbing toilets. I'm wondering when that pre-labor burst of energy is going to hit! Today I was motivated and made a changing pad cover for Emily's room. It was kind of hard to look at lime green fabric, but it looked okay in her room once it was finished. I also altered one of Shane's surgery caps so he could close it using Velcro instead of the traditional ties. I was surprised that it looked okay after I got finished with it.

Today we got a little break from being here at the house just Emily & me. Anneka and Dawson (2 1/2 years old) came over for a little while to play and eat lunch. They were a welcomed site! Tomorrow we're planning on going to see Kate and Christa (18 mos) for a little bit. Emily is getting a little better around kids her own age, but still tends to get possessive over toys and sometimes bullies by pushing. We're working on it. I'm sure just being around other kids will help some. Having a little brother in the house soon is definitely going to be interesting!
