Curly headed snuggler
I have a curly headed snuggler on my hands and I love it.
These pictures are from an especially curly day. He really looked like he had a perm that day. But it seems to have calmed down a bit. Still not ready to cut it though!

She'll come sometime that's for sure
Not much to post on, just to report that the baby dropped. When that happened with Caleb, 5 weeks before I had him, the doctor told me there was no way I'd make it to my due date. So we believed him and were excited that the baby would be 1-3 weeks early. Well Caleb was 4 days late. So you'd think I'd learn right?
Well, this baby has dropped 6.5 weeks before her due date, so of course I'm calculating that she'll be born 1.5 weeks early (5 weeks of dropped baby, like Caleb's birth). But Bob insists this baby will be a week late and born December 1st. I know he just doesn't want to get his hopes up that we can meet our little girl earlier than expected. He doesn't want those fragile hopes dashed once again. But I'm willing to risk my hopes being dashed. I just can't help it. A good friend of mine told me to pack my bags and then forget about it. Well its nearly impossible for me to forget about it, I want to meet my little girl! (and I did sort of start packing my bag yesterday) Plus, with dropping and all I'm a lot more sore and getting more braxton hicks. It just doesn't seem like this will last 6.5 weeks, but you know, I could be and probably am wrong.
But either way, if she comes early, late or on time, at least I'm getting excited about her coming! Thinking about her coming early really helps me feel like this is going to happen and get more attached to the baby and the fact that I will have to go through labor again. I know, you'd think a huge belly would confirm to me that this is indeed happening, but its not the same as picturing her here. So go ahead all you experienced 2nd timers out there, tell me she'll come when she's ready and I shouldn't get worked up about it. I know, I know, I just can't help it.

Getting there
As you can tell if you've read Bob's blog today, we had a good weekend. The highlight of which is Caleb is finally able and/or willing to try standing on his own. He doesn't stand up from a sitting position by himself, but when we put him on his feet he can stay standing! This is such a huge confidence booster for him and I'm hoping it will encourage him to take a few steps in the coming week or two. We'll see. Here's a few pictures of him standing. You can see he's celebrating his little achievement in the one picture. (notice the dog in the background who couldn't care less, little does she know once he can pull himself up onto the couch, life as she knows it will change!)
