Final Days...

These are Raf's final days as an only child! It is hard to believe that soon we'll be a family of 4. Tomorrow I'll be 38 weeks and 5 days, which is the gestational age of Rafi when he arrived (though I had to be induced because of a kidney problem). I keep thinking that this kiddo will not be appearing for quite a while, even though today I am having so many contractions it's difficult to believe that we'll make it to the weekend.

Today may be the final time that I spend all day alone with Rafi. It was a lovely day, though a preschooler who wouldn't nap and a mama with some pretty distracting discomfort made for a LONG afternoon! He wasn't feeling especially independent, either, so it was a very interactive day, with lots of 'whys' and 'what happened'? and other continual questions!! I did feel a bit batty by the time Rich returned home.

We've had a busy but nice time with the Rafman. He's super interactive these days, which is both lovely (mostly lovely) yet exhausting. I'm wondering if it'll be easier with a newborn or whether I should soak up these days as a heavily pregnant, contracting mama! I have a feeling it's easier now.

Here are a few pics of the last few days.

Friday night chips and veggie burger.... and he found a bit of left over french bread! Very healthy!

Saturday lunch out... more chips.

Sunday morning banana-bread making.

Morning at the library.. grinning for some pictures to send to Daddy.
