Baby Boom

After Kindermusik today a woman came up to me and said she counted 5 of us preggos in the class. There's only, like, 10-12 people to begin with. Sheesh. Ignorant me had only noticed myself, the one due this month, and the one who brings her 3 week old newborn to the class. Then, the silly lady that brought it all up asked how far along I was. I told her "23 and a half weeks." She said, "Oh, you're just a little behind me...I'm due March 3rd." Well, I'm due March 3 so she is confused on her weeks. Jason pointed out that no one else is such a stickler for dates as me. Still, you'd think pregnant women could get close. We're usually worse than kids counting down to Christmas.

On the drive home from class we were at a stoplight and from my SUV vantage point I looked down into the car next to me. The woman passenger was in labor. Fun! Well, not for her just yet. But, I've never seen that in a car before. Like a movie, Jason said.

I tried for the last hour and a half to take a nap. I'm getting ugly black circles under my eyes. However, I could not fall asleep and if I was close there was always some sound to wake me up: truck brakes, Blackie, Easton coughing. We have a white noise machine but it definitely doesn't drown out Blackie and I feel I should still be able to hear Easton too. Oh well, at least Eastie is now pushing hour 2 of his nap. I expect I'll hear from him any second.

He slept until 8:30 today and we woke up and rushed to Kindermusik. When we first got there he was feeling shy and instead of sitting on my lap for our bouncing song he layed back on me. Then he warmed up. Later in the class the teacher said, "Should we do our rocking song?" and Easton said, "Yeah!!" He loves the rocking time song she used to play. We listen to it in the car now when he asks for it and I've recently started singing it at our own pre-sleep rocking times. However, today she used a new rocking song and it came on and Easton kept saying, "No....no" as in "This song you've chosen is new and different and I'd prefer it if you play the rocking song I know." Poor guy. I played the right one for him when we drove home.

He is not eating at all yet today. I hate this. He is going to float away at swimming tonight.

Sorry I have no pictures...I was trying to nap, you know. I'll catch you up soon.
