Justin taking down the bed...and Luke helping.
I love this picture (below)...he really thought he was doing something. :)
He was getting so excited while we were setting it up. I was actually started to get a litte sad and worried at the same time. I didn't know how he was going to do. I know I've heard it can be really difficult for some. But Justin laid down with him for a little bit and read him a story...see below.
We didn't hear anything else after that. We waited about an hour and went in there...
Sound asleep!!
I couldn't believe it...he didn't get up once! I was thinking he may have a few spankings tonight..but no. I was so proud. I know it may not be this way every night, and he may get up at 6 in the morning and want to play...but right now I'm happy. I think it helps a lot that Justin was here...he seems to listen to him a lot better. I guess it's a dad thing! I just can't get over how he's sleeping in that big bed...or it seems so big with him in it , when just two years ago, this is what he looked like:
Ahh...I just want to squeeze him. Yes, I know soon I'll have one in that baby bed...but it's not Luke! I usually don't get sentimental about things like this...I'm blaming it on the pregnancy...:)
Speaking of that...I have about 11 weeks left and if Jude happens to come two weeks early like his big brother Luke did...that would make just 9 weeks...whoah! Crazy...it's gone by fast. I can't wait to hold and squeeze him and kiss those (hopefully) fat cheeks.
In other news, packing is going along good. I've got a lot done this week. Justin says I'm doing too much too soon...but I am determined to not be a crazy person the week of our move...I'm hoping to finish almost everything by the end of next week. I'm pretty sure I can do it! We love our church family...they are so sweet to us. I can't wait to move there and get to know everyone (and their names!) better.
Today I went to Kohls and used my gift card that my wonderful mother in law gave me for Christmas...I love Kohls..it's my favorite place to shop, but not for maternity clothes! I was thinking I would save the card and use it after the baby was born and buy really cute new stuff..but I needed a couple of warm things to wear the rest of this pregnancy...so I made myself use it. Let me just say....buying maternity clothes is not near as fun as buying "regular" clothes. Especially when the store has hardly anything to choose from! Do retail stores not realize when your pregnant you like to dress cute too? I have seen several really cute stuff...but then you have to pay a billion dollars for it...(okay so that was an exaggeration...but you get the idea) Then you find something that you think is going to look really good...put it on and you look like a big piece of fruit or something...or at least that's what I feel like. Anyway, I did eventually find a couple of cute things....but I can't wait until I can wear cute stuff again...after I lose all of my baby weight!
Well, I'm hoping Luke stays in his bed the rest of night...and doesn't wake up in the middle of the night and come in our room and scare me really bad...that's what I keep thinking about...it would really freak me out if he did that.
