So Sarah likes the crib... Along with Morgan's baby dolls. I think I will let Stephen break the bad news to Morgan & the cat that pretty soon that bed is going to be occupied and they can't play anymore. I am not sure which one will be more upset, but I am betting on the cat. It's the only place where people leave her alone.

Wee School Program




And nothing says Christmas like making 135 kids ages 2-4 stand up on a stage and sing. They were adorable and Morgan loved it, so all was well.
I just thought I would share some of the precious moments that I have had with my child due to this pregnancy. I can laugh about them now because it's almost over. I see the light!
There are lots of things that Morgan has had to be patient with me about and I truely think that her patience is running out! She will ask me to come upstairs to her room to help her find a toy, make the bed, brush her teeth...etc. When I evaluate the "need" for me to come upstairs, sometimes I tell her that she can do it herself or come downstairs & I can help her. That is when I hear the comment, "Mommy, even though you're pregnant, I still love you." THANKS KID!
Another one of my favorites is the fact that she sees being pregnant as just too hard. She tells me, "Mommy, after this one, I don't think you should have any more babies, this is it!" Am I really that bad? (don't answer that!) Then she tells me that she is never having babies. Morgan logic: Since I already have a baby, her, she can just take this one and raise him like he's hers. That way we both have a baby and she doesn't have to be pregnant. Why didn't I think of something like that before I got myself into this mess. I could have just borrowed a kid from someone.
And my all time favorite is taking her to the dr. with me. That is a good time! You know the whole "go in the cup thing?" Well, Morgan decided she would be my cheerleader during this time. I don't know if anyone else has ever had a cheering section during this very private moment but, "You can do it Mommy, I'll watch" just doesn't seem to help. Although, very funny. So I make her stand in the corner of the bathroom with her back to me and she announces, "If I get to do that, then I definitely want to have babies!" Great!

Preschool Baby Shower




Morgan's preschool had a baby shower for her today. It was so nice & suprising! I thought it would be a little thing with maybe one gift & a cake, but her teacher went all out. She even made a diaper bag that is adorable and burp rags to match. She has taken such good care of Morgan. The theme was Cowboys to match the baby's room. Morgan could not wait to come home & play with the baby boy doll they gave her & the diapers. She now knows how to properly put on a diaper, so I am hoping to get some use out of that skill. I figured if Stephen could learn it, anyone could. At childbirthing classes before Morgan was born, he actually put it on backwards & did not know what the "sticky stuff" was for. He has come a long way, but maybe Morgan should give him a refresher course before the baby comes.

Thanksgiving



Well, we made it through Thanksgiving: kinda lonely by ourselves, but we made the most of it. Stephen made the Turkey & I made the rest. Then we vegged out for the rest of the day. Peaceful! Hope everyone had a great holiday.
