I haven't posted on Matthew exclusively lately so I thought I would. I've been really proud of how he's handling all the change around here even though baby isn't quite here. With me moving slower and him having to wait for stuff, he's been so good! He's getting alittle more independent and his language is booming. He has more and more spontaneous language, though still suing lots of scripted. The good thing about the scripted is he usually goes through the day's conversations and with inflections and all I can hear what he was busy doing at school :) His teachers really love him :) What a comfort to know that they all love him and have his best interest at hand. Matthew's latest thing is returning to his undying love for the alphabet. He plays with these alphabet old maid cards all the time, finding the pairs. He has the whole "Do the Alphabet" Sesame Street movie memorized and as he watches he writes the alphabet over and over on his magnadoodle. He can even spell small words like pig, the, is and of course his name and Maria's name! He knows all his letter sounds and can write any word that you put in front of him to copy. He is still in love with his trains, getting better and better at making new track patterns with Todd. He also loves hiking on the blue trail right down the road near the covered bridge. He names the trees that the markers are on, the Sycamore, Hemlocks and maple and oaks and there is even an iron wood tree and an elm tree. He doesn't the baby brother thing yet but if you ask where baby brother is he rubs my tummy and gets all snuggly. We have the ear muffles ready for the crying that baby will do.
Here's my belly at 38W3D. We will be getting induced Saturday possibly if the OB schedule allows and if not then, it will be 3/11 on Tuesday. I think I will try the epidural this time, though that scares me too. Can't wait until the pain part is over and he is here safe and sound. Then my only worry will be when will I sleep :)
More updates another time about the house and pending court date set for March 17th.
