Surprise!

Yesterday i hosted playgroup and my friends surprised me with a baby shower :)  It was so sweet!  I had no idea that they had planned this for me.  I have made some really good friends and I'm so happy that the little ones play so well together.  We see each other about 2 times a week for a couple hours.  Its a great way to get out of the house and play with new toys!  

Oh, and another not so great surprise is that our neighbors 3 doors down were robbed at GUNPOINT on Monday night.  It happened a block up from where we live.  I'm totally freaked out but thankful the couple is OK.  I hope this is a one time deal.  Very very scary.  

TBD

I think we finally have a name for our new little man!  We are going to keep it a secret until he arrives :)  I don't want any one's reaction to the name spoil it.  So, if someone is reading this please be sure to pretend like you love the name when we tell you :)

I have size 1 diapers being delivered to the house tomorrow.  I think that pretty much will shock me into believing that TBD really will be here in about 2 1/2 weeks.  Wow,  seeing that in writing is pretty crazy!

I think Scott caught the "nesting" bug b/c he now is researching double strollers like cray.  We are having a hard time deciding what to get.  They are not cheap!  But hopefully this weekend we will have made a decision.

I have to say my main stress is still luke and the adjustment he will have to make.  I'm so worried that he will feel jealous.  I HATE that I wont be able to pick him up for 2 weeks after the baby is born.  I can't talk about it without getting teary (or email b/c right now I'm about to cry).  I hope he won't notice.  Things are going to be busy!!!

    

Preschool

We had our very first open house today at a preschool for Luke.  I was really impressed!  Luke has applied for the 2 year old class.  My only hesitation is that he will be by far one of the youngest in the class.  The cut off on the birthday is 9/30.  Luke barley makes it.  I think he would thrive in it but it may take him a bit more to adjust then the others.  I swear he knows as much as a 2 year old does.  He just doesn't have the verbal ability yet to actually say it. 

The class size for the 2 year olds are 9 children with 2 teachers.  I think that is perfect.  They have music time, Spanish classes, reading, etc.  All of the teachers seemed to be really great and the staff was nice as well.  

We find out in the beginning of March if he gets in.  It is based off of a lottery system so it is totally luck if he gets in.  I'm not holding my breath b/c there are a ton of applicants each year and only 9 are selected.  We will see!

Luke was such a good boy the entire time we were there.  The other little girl had a mini melt down but somehow Luke managed to keep it together!  He loved the blocks in the classroom and the fish on the rug :)

Next week I have another open house to go to so I hope I like that one as well.
