Guess what? I'm blogging.
Shocking isn't it?
I have no pictures because I don't feel like taking any, and I also don't feel like charging my camera's batteries. I'm not very motivated lately, and am just a bit more interested in other things...like getting ready for this baby to arrive! The last few weeks I felt like time was moving very slowly, and that I was getting baby clothes ready etc for something that's not happening for a long time. Then all of a sudden I was 35 weeks along today and decided I'd better get moving...but I'll blog first. :P
James has been home a lot lately since he's currently full time student only, instead of full time student and full time worker. We see more of eachother lately than ever in our married life, and it's great! What am I going to do when he gets a job? Miss him that's for sure.
Cameron seems so grown up lately, going to sleep on his own and things like that. I'm sure that as soon as the baby is born he will seem VERY big! I'm looking forward to having two children, at the same time as I'm a little nervous about how it will be when they decide to nap at separate times but seem to be both awake at the same time and I never have a chance to clean house. :D I guess that's when a sling and a highchair will come in handy!
A couple weeks ago we were starting to wonder if this little one would ever get out of his breech position. At first he had his feet down, and then he curled up his legs and was just bottom down, with his back nicely against my back. What a stubborn way to be! But 2 weeks ago he flipped himself around and has stayed in the right position all this time. Yay! But now I feel weird because I'm not used to it, Cameron was never quite the "normal" way, so I'll have to adjust to this! But we are very thankful that so far everything is looking good and now we are just waiting... I wonder how long?
Now to clean the microwave...yuck!

a few more pictures from last weekend
Cameron is getting dangerously tall... now I have to watch out for things like this:
I was trying to get a good picture of Daddy and Cam, but the lighting was bad... 
and he wanted to show us his belly...
and then he decided to be show us he was a good boy and fold his hands.
So that's as good as it gets lately when trying to take a picture of Cameron.

I have pictures!
We went to the Aquarium today. Last week we went to the zoo, but I don't have pictures of that. Cameron ended up enjoying the aquarium more, I think. He loves fish! The expression on his face in this first picture shows about how he looked the whole time. :) 
Cameron was very amazed by these big cats. To me these pictures look almost scarey!
I thought it was possible that the people who don't see me might want to know how I'm looking at 6 months pregnant, so here we are! Cameron was making a cute face for his daddy.

going through "stuff"
I have been wanting to go through my house and toss out EVERYTHING that's just taking up space for no reason before this baby is born. My closets are so cluttered right now! I just nearly filled the trunk of my car with junk that I've known for a long time I don't want, but just haven't gotten around to actually tossing it out. What? Four boxes and 2 bags and that's without going through closets and drawers yet! YUCK! I'm amazed when I think about the fact that I moved down here a little over 4 years ago with only a few bags, and now I have a three bedroom apartment full to keep in order! Maybe I'll finish filling the trunk today, I don't know. I'm just a little tired now from going up and down those stairs so many times.
Oh, and let me tell you, it's a whole lot easier to declutter when a certain small child is sleeping. Little Cameron is always so busy, he's continually begging for something to do. That means things like folding clothes and loading the dishwasher are usually done when he's either asleep or in his high chair. But don't think that means I don't let him help with things. He is able to truly help me every day. It's so cute! All paper trash, silverware, and dirty laundry is taken care of right away when he's around. He's also Mama and Daddy's little messenger. It's helpful to be able to give him something to give to Daddy in the other room and know that he'll really do it. He loves to pass Bibles out in the evening as well, and often decides all of his own that it's time for worship.
Yesterday I had told Cam to stay out of my closet and that he needed to get ready for a nap. Then we went into the other room where I changed his diaper and took his overalls off of him. He was tired and crying the whole time, but as soon as he saw his clothes sitting there on the floor he picked them up and said something very seriously in his one year old gibberish. I figured he wanted to put them in the laundry basket which happens to be in the closet I had just told him to stay out of. He was standing in my doorway and half crying, half talking because he really really wanted to go in there but knew he wasn't allowed. When I told him he could he was so happy and only then did he finally feel ready to take a nap.
Yes, I know, this is a long and boring post for so many of you. Well, I didn't make you read it, so it's not my fault if you are bored. But I'll stop now anyway.

So confusing...
four weeks ago I went to my midwife and she and another midwife decided that I was having a girl. I went in again today, and my midwife was feeling a bit unsure of herself b/c yesterday a lady had a baby that she thought was going to be a girl, but it was a boy. So, she said, let's check again....hmmm...."oh" she gasped, "I think it's a boy". I said "oh boy" and for some reason had this urge to laugh really hard. So, yeah, now I feel a bit like I don't know what I'm having, even though it's very likely that it's a boy. I told James and he said that it's a boy for sure. hehehe I just feel weird now, and don't really feel like thinking about the gender right now. I just figure we better get woprking on a boy name. So that's my news for the day, or week, or until I get back on here again.
Oh yeah, and I found out that I've gained only 4 pounds if I go by my prepregnancy weight, but 7 pounds if I count after I lost a few when I first got pregnant. I am becoming amazed at how different each pregnancy has been so far. I even have different aches and pains! That sounds silly, but it's true.
