Being on the computer has been a little difficult since the arrival of Mr. Max. Our computer is in the basement, which is not very child friendly. That means I haven't really wanted to post very much because I don't like coming downstairs and leaving Max upstairs by his lonesome.
But, my darling husband believes in rewarding his wife with a "push" present.
My push present for giving birth to Max was a new laptop computer. This way I can stay connected to the outside world when Max is sleeping and not have to go downstairs. Plus it is a Mac and that will allow Lane to do more work from home, which will hopefully result in the less late nights at the office.
So, hopefully I will be able to share even more pictures of the little man and let you know how Lane and I are doing.
I had my first day all by myself with Max and we managed to survive. We had several pee and spit up incidents, with the end result being that I decided that Max being dressed wasn't all that important.
We had a rough night last night... Max had a hard time sleeping in his bassinet, which meant that I got zero sleep. Hopefully, he can get less fussy OR I can get less anxious.
We have to find a happy place of me letting him fuss a little without Mama immediatly picking him up.
Well, that is life here in the Nelson household.

Fussy Max
Things Max likes: Eating, His Pacifier, The Nightlife (3am is his favorite time)
Things Max doesn't like: Diaper changes, clothes changes, any delay in his feedings
Even when he is fussy, we still think he is pretty darn cute!

How Much?!?!?!
Well, here I am still pregnant. Again... I know this will end and I will soon have a beautiful baby boy but seriously it feels like this pregnancy is never-ending.
I saw the doctor on Friday. There had been absolutely no change in any part of my body. She had me do another sonogram to check his weight and to do a bio-physical and make sure all was going well.
I was glad to see his little chubby cheeks and see his heart just beating away inside there. The lady doing the sonogram said he has gerber baby cheeks, which isn't suprising since he weighs over NINE POUNDS!!!! Yes, I am going to give birth to a toddler:)
Other than the fact that this child is huge, everything is going well. He has made himself quite the home and is reluctant to leave.
On that note, I am scheduled to be induced Friday morning, so one way or another Junior is coming into this world soon!
I am excited to not be pregnant anymore...
I am even more excited to finally get to meet my son!

Forever Pregnant and Commentary from First Grade
I know logically that I have only a finite time to be pregnant. There is an inevitable conclusion, this child will come out. Right now though, it feels like I have been pregnant forever and will continue to be pregnant forever.
A few quick notes from my first grade students:
As I am skipping around the parking lot last week during recess, they formed a group behind me and asked"What are you doing Mrs. Nelson?" To which I replied "I'm trying to get the baby to come out!" To which one smart child replied "It doesn't work that way Mrs. Nelson!"
One of my loveliest students stood staring directly at my stomach and asked the question "Will your stomach get smaller when Junior comes out?" Oh goodness, I sure hope so.
I also had a conversation about names with my students a few months ago. While discussing the name possibilities of Max, Luke, James, etc. I had one student look at me as serious as can be and ask "But what if the baby is Chinese?" to which I replied, "Mr. Nelson will have some serious questions to ask me!"
Today, I was trying to squeeze my big ole belly(which we hope will get smaller) past a student and a door frame and I managed to catch my sweater on a nail. So, I ripped my sweater and to fix the hole I put a pink sticker on top of it. Which resulted in this question all day, "Do you know you have a sticker on your stomach?"
And at the beginning of the pregnancy I had one little gem ask "How did the baby get in there?" and I have been waiting and finally was asked the follow up question "How will the baby get out?" I have to say I'm not sure but I am ready for that to happen!
