From my old Blog--Oh The Wonders of Poop

I guess that more than anything poop belongs under the category "Life" if for no other reason than that all those who are alive do indeed POOP! This would include my son, who at the moment is wearing only a diaper, socks, and his "Finding Nemo" slipper shoes. I have never seen or smelt a worse case of the diarrhea and I hope there is not any more where that came from, but I'm sad to say that that probably isn't a possibility.
On to other more interesting topics... we are awaiting the arrival of our second child. My sister found out that she is having a boy. We have chosen not to find out. We did the same thing with Captain, but the suspense is enough to drive a person crazy. I also feel that I have so much to do before the baby gets here, but that I really want him or her here ASAP. I haven't been as comfortable during this pregnancy and I would really like my body back. I have been sharing "My" space with another being for virtually two years, and I need a break. My legs hurt, my back hurts, my hips hurt, I'm tired more often than not, and I'm just ready to see the new little one. At the same time, like I said, there is stuff to be done. I need to sort the clothes out: gender neutral and boy. I need to pack my suitcase, convince Fundi to pack his, and figure out what to pack in Captain's. I need to make sure that Fundi's mom, who is probably going to be taking care of Captain while we are in the hospital, is advised of what he can and can not eat and other important things that need to be known about a 10 month old's life. I need to get some Newborn diapers. No matter how big the baby is when it is born, we will need at least a few newborn diapers. Captain used them for over 5 weeks after he was born. I need to make space in the closet and the dresser for the new baby. I need to get my house in order. I need.... the list goes on. I finally got the taxes done today and I have been keeping up with the bills, but we all know that they keep coming, even if you are busy with a baby or two. I need to get some more wipes for baby butts. It is hard to say what else I need to do between now and when the day actually arrives, but rest assured that I will be making a list and starting to work on it here.... shortly. Now, Captain needs a bottle and I need to get going, so I can't even work on my list now....
Hopefully someday.
