Due date tomorrow

Anja has been having fun with Grandma here. For the last five days or so, she has preferred to be called Buzz, and she calls both Jay and I Woody. When Grandma showed up she was given the name Dinosaur. So Woody, Woody, Dinosaur and Buzz have been reading a lot of books and running in circles inside and outside. Here is a video of Buzz and Dinosaur running around and Buzz "whistling":

And here is Anja wanting Grandma to draw a chalk picture of Anja on the potty:

And of course more crocheting while I'm stuck at home.
Here's a little guy for Anja:

This repeat of the bunny I made for Anja in slightly different colors is being sent out as a new baby gift:

By the way, still pregnant. My due date is tomorrow (June 8th). I'm not too concerned about her coming any time soon. I'm fairly certain that this will be the one baby who decides to never come. I've been pregnant for so long that I can't imagine not being pregnant anymore. I did finally make a list of things to put in my hospital bag. I still have to find a bag. It's a pretty pathetic list with things like something to wear home, car seat, and camera, stuff I wouldn't likely forget anyway. Luckily my mom is here so we won't have to worry about getting Anja to a friend's house or calling a dogsitter, we can just pick up and go to the hospital when we're ready. So getting to the hospital shouldn't be too stressful.

And finally, words from Anja:

Me: Grandma is coming tomorrow, won't that be fun?
Anja: Yeah, she's bringing presents! And then Mommy and Daddy will go to the hospital!
Me: That's right. And do you know what we are bringing home from the hospital?
Anja: Yeah, presents.
Me: And do you know what else we are bringing home from the hospital?
Anja: More presents!

Me: Anja, you are very loquacious.
Anja: No I'm not. I'm a little bit shy.

Anja: I smell bugs.
Me: What do they smell like?
Anja: Like lemurs.

Anja: I used to be a little kid.
Me: And what are you now?
Anja: Um. Actually. I'm thinking.

Grandma S: What should we draw now?
Anja: A potty!
Me: Draw Anja and a potty?
Anja: Yeah, and Mommy and Daddy watching. Anja's pooping. And get a big egg. (we give her Easter eggs with toys in them when she poops in the potty)

More delightful sharings! Thanks, Sue. I remember feeling like I'd be pregnant forever, but look what happened. Bet she'll arrive soon. So glad your mom is there and I bet she is, too. Holding you in the Light!

Love,
Carol
