Baby boy arriving soon!

Any day now my fourth baby (is that possible?) will be born. No reason for an induction so I am waiting for labor to naturally begin. Another boy will be home from the hospital with us in the next 2 weeks. I will then have 3 children 3 and under to mother. Whew! I feel ready at times and overwhelmed at the prospect at other times.

Today I have been solving important problems such as which of my children is batman. My 3 1/2 year old son and 21 month old daughter are arguing which is batman. "I'm batman!"
"No! I'm batman!" "No, I'm batman!" "Batman's not a girl. There's only one batman. I'm batman!" Okay, I guess I didn't really solve that problem, but it's been the topic of debate this morning.

I've been on a cleaning and cooking frenzy. My freezer is as full as I can pack it with homemade meals for after baby is born. Every night I make sure the kitchen is spotless, the house picked up, and the table cleaned. I vacuum every day. Our house has never been maintained at this level of clean for this long a period of time. It's been nice.

12 days to my due date, but ready any time!
