5 weeks to go and big boy

We have 5 weeks to go until Baby becomes a permanent part of our lives. I am ready. It just hit me in the past week or so how tired I am. I was doing great and then Nick and Evan got sick and the next week bam - tiredness set in. 

Sleeping stinks. I am so tired, but can't sleep very well. I told Nick the other night - "I would rather cry than sleep." His response - "Why?" Me - "You wouldn't understand, I just want you to carry baby for an hour." (I get a little irrational when I don't sleep.)

Evan has been rockin' this potty training gig. We haven't pushed it at all because he is a kid of routine and if push him to do something he doesn't want to do, good luck getting him to try it again. He has been going pee like a rockstar for us and at school. But on Sunday he went poopy on the potty!

Best part of the story - he will sit on the potty forever saying "I try, I try." So we let him try. Finally he pulled the shower curtain over to the toilet. I thought he was playing peek-a-boo, but then I realized when I got him off the potty what he was doing behind the curtain. He needed privacy! I love him. I was so proud of him. He then asks for a M&M for going and he gets a sticker on his big boy chart Grandma Lois made.

Lots of changes coming our way:)
