Our guess date is next Saturday. I'm prepared but NOT patient about possibly going another 2 or 3 weeks. Really it's not that long!
Everything is ready for his arrival at this point. I think he'll be taller than Aiden, maybe a little heavier...I like my babies chunky, so he better come fat or fatten up fast! :)
Aiden is sick with some mystery fever-bug thing, so I imagine my body will hold off on labor until the family is healthy...kind of crazy how the body works. I have the most amazing midwife, and everytime I see her I'm reminded of that. Aiden's birth was pretty awesome, but this one is going to be even more amazing. I've been spending a lot of time taking Aiden to playgrounds, especially the indoor ones as my body prefers that I just kind of take it easy right now. He also has ECFE every Friday morning, and we're going to try to keep him going to that as much as possible after Chase is born, depending on timing, hopefully we won't miss any classes due to the birth.
Baris will be home for 2 weeks after Chase is born to help us all get settled and started on a routine. I anticipate a big adjustment, and I think we're in for it when B goes back to work. Between work and school it's already a challenge with just one. I've seen a lot of friends with kids Aiden's age suddenly become "big kids" when baby comes home though, so hopefully he'll not take it all too hard.
The big news this week (well, so far) is that we're getting the carpets cleaned by ZEROREZ! I'm so excited about this it's kind of stupid...lol I've been waiting to have it done for FOREVER! Timing is super awesome for having it done, right before the baby comes and following this icky bug that Aiden has.
IN other news, here's some blogs for you to follow. My girlfriends and I (otherwise known as the Cool Girls' Club or CGC) started a blog about breastfeeding:

One of the CGC girls has a preemie baby she regularly blogs about:

the other CGC girl just gave birth to her SECOND baby with bilateral club feet (this is INSANELY rare...)

and right now, that's it! Hopefully some other big news will arrive SOON! In the meantime, I guess I'm taking Aiden trick-or-treating this weekend!
