Update

This week has been another good week at therapy (excluding Monday, when Nate cried and cried for most of the hour and a half. He actually did better when I left for the last 20 minutes, so I'm not going to go in with him anymore I think). It's still tiring, and Nate still would choose not to go if he had the choice, but it's getting better. Next week starts our new schedule! Tuesday morning is two hours of ABA at our house; Wednesday and Thursday are 9:30-11:00 at the center. I'm interested to see how Nate does with so many days (Friday-Monday) in between therapy sessions, because I think one reason Mondays have been hard for him is that he hasn't been in therapy since the previous Thursday...

Baby #2 update
I hit 36 weeks earlier this week. I feel like there is no possible way my body could expand for four more weeks. Skin isn't supposed to be able to stretch like that! I think Jon and I might have come up with two possible boy names we like last night, so that gives me a bit more peace of mind if this is a boy. Overall, though, I still am leaning slightly toward guessing it's a girl.

Sounds like you are very prepared!! Wish I got the chance the 2nd time around to be prepared! LOL! That just couldn't happen with a preemie in the NICU. As pathetic as it is, I STILL haven't finished decorating Zoe's room, and Angelina wants her room re-done for her birthday! LOL! Now I have a lot to do! :) Good work on being organized!

"ssszzzzcccccccc x" to you, too, Nate!

It does sound like you are very organized and in control. I'd love to see a picture of how big you are if you wouldn't mind taking and posting one.

Hmmm... I'll think about it. :) No, just kidding--I'll try to take one and post it today.
