One day before June! I'm due in June! Oliver was so cute tonight - we have a "Cars" calendar in his room, and each month has a picture of one of the characters. June's character is the Sheriff. For months, he would ask when the baby is coming, and we would reply "when the Sheriff is on the calendar." Well, tonight we flipped the page over to get ready for June 1, and there was the Sheriff!! The look on his face and the realization that the month with the Sheriff on it was actually here was priceless! He was so excited putting two and two together, and just looked at me with the biggest eyes saying "The baby's coming soon!" Yes, honey, he is! Hopefully. :)

I am 37 weeks pregnant and feeling good. I'm going through all I should be going through. I'm feeling everything - I feel big, I feel pressure, I have back pain, I have daily contractions, I have all those things. But I think having gone through it once before makes it much easier the second time. I know this stage doesn't last forever. I know a few more weeks is best for baby and I'm okay waiting those weeks out. I am also lucky that I have an amazing husband who will rub my back and my feet whenever I ask him to! :) I am a lucky girl - I know!!! Also, having the house done and the carpet in has done more for my anxiety than I even imagined. I am enjoying my house - my newly arranged bedroom - the baby's room - all of it. I love it! And it really does make the waiting easier.

Because posts are always better with pictures ... here's one after our *very* long day today. We are becoming members at our church (after almost 4 years! haha) and thus had another "class" today at 9 am. I had to go a little earlier to arrange my music for playing today. So we got there about 9, had the class, did church at 10:30, had the Sunday School picnic after, end-of-year games after that and then our Small Group decided to meet as well, after all of that. We got home around 4 pm. It was a LONG day. And this picture is what happened literally 15 minutes after getting home! Ollie is still holding on for dear life to the water gun he won at the games. I let them sleep for 45 minutes before getting them up, but it was pretty cute.

Also...some favorite Ollie quotes from the week!! Enjoy. :)

Ollie: "What's wrong, Daddy?"

Daddy: "Oh, Daddy just said something dumb and now Mommy's mad at him." :)

Ollie: "Oh, great. Now I have to get a new Daddy."

During small group, we received word that one of the 3 year olds decided to take off her clothes and go running around outside. Ollie comes flying in the room with the biggest eyes, "MOM! MOM! You've gotta come see Abby!!"

Oliver has been carrying around a picture of his Grammy and Grampy Sell. He knows Grampy Sell is in heaven with Jesus, and during this particular day was telling anybody and everybody who would listen. Our neighbor came over to chat.

Ollie: "Do you know my Grampy Sell is in heaven?"

N: "Oh, okay!"

Ollie: "That's where you go when you die. You look like you're gonna die."

Putting Ollie to bed:

Mommy: "Good night Ollie. I love you. Can I have a hug?"

Ollie: "No. Superman doesn't do hugs."
