T Minus Seven

So we are in the final stretch. That’s getting quite literal for Amy – her belly seems to be straining to unheralded proportions, but she looks and feels great. There are some more oopmhs and groans this week as Trotz 2.0 adjusts positions, and we’ve seen some great Alien-esque effects as a knee or elbow strain for room inside the womb and extrude from her stomach. No signs of any activity yet – stay tuned here or via my Twitter page or Facebook profile or Flickr gallery to get the first notification that we are on our way. Sam seems a little stressed these last few days, being a bit more tantrum-prone than usual – I think he realizes his solo gig is soon to end. I still know he’s going to be a fabulous big brother.

joke time

listening to stories

As we prepare for the new baby, I realize I’m blogging far less often about Sam, so we are going to try to rectify that. He passed a big milestone today – I taught him how to tell a joke.

  • Knock-knock.
  • Who’s there?
  • Boo. Boo who?
  • Don’t cry <daddy, mommy, etc>

He even ‘gets’ it – giggling everytime he tells it. Very astute for his 2.5 years, methinks.
