Excitement

So my neighbor and good friend is 2 days past her due date and is scheduled to be induced next tuesday which is very exciting. I am so eager to meet her little boy. I think its funny how people get so invested in their friends pregnancies (or maybe that just me!) Everyday, I just wait for a phone call telling me that they are in labor, or that they have just had the baby. Anyway, I find it very exciting! The only other person I have ever sat around waiting to go into labor was myself and my sister!
Very soon I will be waiting for another close friend of mine to have her babies - Dezi Lu! She is in heat! So I imagine that some where between 8 and 11 weeks from now we will have a bunch of newborn puppies! I am very excited and at the same time very nervous. We have been waiting for her to go in heat, but now after looking into the delivery process of puppies, I am scared to death. I am probably more scared about her delivery than I am of my own! On the upside - selling the puppies will be excellent extra money and couldn't come at a better time, especially with a baby on the way and an impending move! On the downside - she may have her puppies right before we move - how in the hell are we going to move with all the puppies???
Logan continues to get cuter and cuter - sweeter and sweeter - and more independent! He insist on doing things all on his own. He doesn't want anyone to help him! Most of the time I am patient enough to let him try over and over although sometimes, I am in a hurry and dont have the time. But for the most part I like letting him try things on his own. He gets so incredibly frustrated when he cant do something - I hate watching him get so upset about stuff. Sometimes if he is haveing trouble with something I will step in a show him how to do it, then undo it and let him try again. Amazingly, this works 80% of the time, the other 20% well, he can't do everything - which I try to explain. He also wants to be our little helper. When it comes to throwing something away - he always wants to do it - he wants to bring us a new diaper - go find his shoes, or whatever it is that we are looking for. His memory is far better than I thought it would be at his age. Yesterday, I let him play with my keys - usually a big no-no! - I forgot that I had done that until just now, I asked him where they were, and he went over to where he put them yesterday and brought them to me! WOW! I thought 2 year olds had a very short memory - I wonder if he will remember anything from this age when he is older - I know I dont have any memories before the age of 4. Anyway, he is talking more now too! I can't believe all the things he can do and the level at which he can do them ----THIS INCLUDES TANTRUMS!
We are going to the Astros game on Saturday - we are all very excited! I dont know who is more excited, JR or Logan! The game starts at 6 but JR is going to go up there and stake a place in line at 11:30. They are giving out these Bagwell things to the first 10,000 fans and he really wants to get one. Later in the summer they will give out Biggio thingys as part of the series...we will be there too!
2 more days until I am at 23 weeks - when the apparent 4 week growth spurt is supposed to begin! God help me. I was just thinking how it doesn't seem like I have been pregnant for 6 months now - well technically I am IN my 6th month...but oddly enough weeks 19 until now seem to have lasted for forever! Hopefully the next few weeks will go by faster! We will see - I am already dreading weeks 34 - 40....Time seems to crawl during those weeks!
