Van: "Mama, let's play eye spy!"
Me: "ok"
Van: "I spy something that looks like a house."
Me: "Is it our house?"
Van: "It's a Tiger's house!"
Me: "alright, cool."
Van: "I spy something green and shiny."
Me: "What is it?"
Van: "It's a pelican!"
I'm not sure he knows how eye spy works.

"Oh look! my cards"
Van holds up Taufeeq and Misha's wedding invitation upside down.
"This card says 'Finn Jon Lunoe is a good friend to all.' I better put this card in my car."

38 weeks
Well I made it to 38 weeks. I'm actually 38 weeks and 1 day today which is 4 days longer than I was pregnant with Van. So I am a little bit anxious. Last Monday I was 3 cm dilated, 85% effaced and her head was in the +2 position, so it's nice to know at least that things are progressing, but I really expected last week to be it. On Monday I'll have another doctors appointment, so we'll see what they say...
In the meantime, here's the comparison

Dinner
I came home from work today and Van was eating dinner.
I sat down next to him to eat too.
"So mom," he says, "did you have a great day?"
I told him I did and asked if he did as well.
"yeah" he said.
I sat down next to him with a full plate of food, but I told him I might open a new can of green beans because they were all gone.
He handed me one of each thing off his plate (this included mashed potatoes,
rice and beans, chicken and green beans. All with his hands).
Then he said, "You eat all of that, and then I will give you some more."

Walk for Warmth
Svea and some friends threw me an awesome baby shower last night, but I think I might get some pictures from Svea, so I want to wait to post about it until then.
This morning Van and I did United Way's Walk for Warmth. It was a little tough because around the course there was a playground so we got distracted there, and I ended up cutting it short because I had to carry him part of the way (not easy at 37 weeks). But it was still a fun morning.
We came downtown early to sign up then had breakfast at a local coffee shop that is right around the corner from my office.

Van is 'spelling' everyone's name he knows in a big line. He'll put a lot of random letters together and then read it to me. One time it said.
"Van is a very good boy"
He also wanted me to spell Finn's name and then he put it next to his. Then he read. 'Finn is a great boy. but he is a bad boy and bites me sometimes.'

Quotes from today.
6:30 AM Saturday morning.
"Come on mama!" Van says, "Daddy, you go back to sleep."
why does he get the easy job?
Alamo is going crazy like he usually does first thing in the morning.
"Mama, I think mo man loves you" Van says.
***
Van sits on the back of the couch and drums on my head. I have a cold and a headache so I tell him to stop. So he tries other things with my head like, 'wiggle your head, wiggle your head. shake your head, shake your head' I yell at him and tell him to stop.
He gets down and looks at me and says, "mama, why are you not happy?"
I tell him my head hurts.
"where?"
I say the whole thing.
"oh" he says, and leans over and smooches my forehead.
***
Van wakes up from his nap and walks sleepily upstairs with his blanket. He sees me on the couch and comes to snuggle on my lap.
"Medicine" he says pitifully.
"You need medicine? do you feel yucky? what hurts?"
"My tummy hurts. And that's why," he pauses for dramatic effect, then says very seriously, "I need some candy."
***
I feel so lucky to have him in my life. Love that little man.

36 weeks
36 weeks! So close and yet so far away.
Van was born at 37 weeks so I'm trying to be prepared, but I think Esther will hang out a little longer. I bet I'll be able to make a 38 week picture. My doctors appointment for 36 weeks is on Monday so I'll post if I learn anything new.
