Emotional

Wow. I can't even believe this is my baby. I'm getting all teary looking at it. He's so big and I don't even realize it until I see undeniable evidence such as this. (He has since gotten a haircut)

We are preparing for baby sister to get here. Jacob still seems to be excited and I'm very thankful for that. I hit 37 weeks yesterday so it's just a waiting game at this point. My cousin came last week over her spring break and I tried to show her a good time but I'm not sure I succeeded. There's nothing like having younger, single relatives come for a visit to show us how old and boring we are :) We went to the beach for the first time this year and Jacob had so much fun. We also took Lacy to the Butterfly Conservatory which is always a hit for Jacob. The big event of Spring Break was driving up to Miami for the day to go to the zoo and take Lacy to the airport. I love going to the zoo and Jacob hasn't been as often as I would like. If we lived closer to a zoo we would go all the time. He was really excited about seeing the gorillas this time. One of his favorite movies right now is Tarzan, who is of course raised by gorillas. We also got to eat at Chick Fil-A which I think was sadly the REAL highlight of my day off the island.

This week, I have cried over the finale of Big Love, trigonometry homework and getting hit in the head with a plastic tiger. I have also been known to be brought to tears by music and Disney movies in recent weeks. Don't say anything too nice or mean to me or I'll probably burst into tears! Jacob has been very compassionate, even if he was the original source of my emotional outburst. His big trick is to cover his face and then yell peek a boo! That usually does cheer me up, just because it is so sweet and innocent that he thinks that's all you need to stop being sad! He usually asks me "Mommy what's wrong?" And I'll tell him "Nothing" or "I don't know" which are both true. I'm not usually a crier but this pregnancy has me very touchy! We are all very anxious to meet this baby and I can't wait to lose some of this weight and hopefully stop crying so much. ;)
