Nesting

We're not a neat and tidy family, so nesting looks a little different in our house, but we're definitely getting ready for Baby Buck or Buckette! Due date is one month from yesterday. John doesn't talk about it on his own, but when we ask if he's excited he says yes. He waffles back and forth between wanting a girl or a boy, but is steady on the name Baby Batman. I asked if he thought we should come up with another name, so he suggested Wolverine. At least we're covered on that front. I don't think he quite understands the permanence because he's asked if the baby is going to stay for a while, but I've explained that we're going to keep him/her forever, just like Baby Eve, so maybe he has some idea. Eve doesn't have a clue. We'll see how she handles it. Both of them are really enjoying one-on-one time. I took Eve to the zoo while John was in school and she absolutely loved it...wants to go every time we get in the car now. She's also actually showed a lot of interest in reading when we're one-on-one, which she doesn't do when John's around. I suppose because he likes to read things that require a bit more of an attention span. I was very emotional at the end of John's term as "only child", and have found myself getting to the same point again. John and Eve are so cute together and love each other so much. They crack each other up (Eve talke incessantly and is such a ham), she copies his every move and sound, and they give each other big hugs and kisses throughout the day. Yes, they bicker over toys and lap space, but they're so sweet together and I love to see it. So, a little sentimental, but I'm also so very excited to meet our newest addition. I had one of my last doctor's appointments today and she got quite frustrated. The baby's heartbeat was a little high, which is normal when they're moving around, so she wanted to listen a bit and make sure it went down. Problem is, Baby Batman wouldn't slow down for her to find the heartrate for more than just a few seconds at a time. It gave us both a little chuckle. I've had smoke coming out of my crochet hook at night because I feel like we're getting to crunch time. So much anticipation! Baby Batman...we can't wait to meet you!
