Henry Goes to the OBGYN

This is the sequel to a previous post, Henry Goes to the DMV.  Henry has had to come with me to all my prenatal appointments, and he is quite well-known around the office.  Ever wonder what it's like to bring a toddler to an OBGYN appointment every week?  Here's a little taste of a typical visit:

Starts off by reading a magazine

Takes some selfies

Runs the Barbie car over the Lego table so it makes a very loud noise

Plays with Legos

Watches women's health commercials.  I believe he is learning about the
risks associated with Mirena in this picture.

Watches cars outside

Climbs on chairs

...and another chair

Rests a little

Pushes the Barbie car with his feet

Explores the bathroom

Sings some songs

All of this took place within a span of 15 minutes today.  Usually we are in the doctor's office for an hour before we are called back.  Needless to say, I am always worn out by the time we leave.

PS-  Some of you may be thinking, "Wait, why is she STILL going to the baby doctor?  Isn't she supposed to already have her baby?!"  Yes.  You are right.  I'm due tomorrow, yet I'm still pregnant. My doctor said 2 weeks ago that I would have this baby any second, yet I'm still pregnant.  Let's not talk about it.  I'm tired and need some sort of dessert.

Pumpkin Patch

Yesterday we went to the pumpkin patch with Henry's little play group friends.  Chasing him around was exhausting, and I was sort of hoping it would send me into labor, but no such luck.  I told Sam that giving birth at a pumpkin patch would be a dream come true, because it is my favorite place on earth.  But I got some great pictures of my little guy!

Henry's favorite attraction was the ATM

Pumpkin Painting Party

Each week, Henry and I get together with some friends and have a playdate.  This morning we went to a friend's house to paint pumpkins.  He wasn't into the pumpkin painting so much, but still had a blast playing with the water table, car, wagon, balls, and eating snacks.  (And he has currently been asleep for nearly 3 hours, and is STILL napping!)

I love the look of pure bliss on his face

Baby Shower! (I guess that means this is really happening.)

Baby #2  had such a cute baby shower at school today!  My co-teacher went WAY overboard, especially since this isn't my first baby.  (Jenny, you're amazing.)  Look at all this cuteness. 

One of our precious infant teachers made a onesie cookie for each of the students.
So adorable, right?!  And they taste A-MAZING.

I wish I had taken a picture of the gift table when all the gifts were on it.  Such generous parents.

Everyone wrote little jokes/encouragement on the diapers for
those middle of the night diaper changes.  

36 weeks pregnant. Yikes.

The students guessed whether it's a boy or girl.  Boys win 7-6!  We shall see. 

And my wonderful co-teacher made this little diaper motorcycle.
 Is it not the cutest thing you've ever seen?!  It is, right? 

I bought a double stroller earlier this week from a friend, and it's less than 1 month until my due date. I think I need to come to grips with the fact that this is happening.  I'm excited to meet this little one.  But I'm also nervous about how much life is about to change.  We sort of have a routine right now-school 3 days/week, playdates on Friday, toddler time on Tuesday, go to bed at 8:30 and sleep all night... our life is about to get turned upside down!

Pictures!

I don't mean to brag, but my baby is really good at making paper lions.

Oh, that dimple.

I would like to say that there is a good reason he is swimming naked in a pool of bubbles in the yard.  But there's not.  Just a regular Tuesday in the Morgan household.  PS-Right after this picture was taken, our neighbor's chicken flew into our yard.  So he was running around naked, chasing a chicken.

Henry got to celebrate Audrey's 2nd birthday!  Here he is, with all his lady friends

He's not supposed to have his pacifier (except for bedtime), so he improvised
 and used a bottle nipple he found in a drawer

This is his "silly face"

Swimming at a friend's house, and talking things over with Sammie

My brother got married!!!!!  Isn't he cute?
 I don't have a picture of him and his wife, but she's precious.
Yay, Adam and Brooke!

And this is my best friend/cousin.  I'm due in October, she's due in December.  We totally planned that.  

Excited to ride the train

Our first big injury.  Sam and Henry were playing, and he ran into the corner of the coffee table.
But he got a popsicle and cookies out of the deal.

Ready for college football season!

Having a little snack- Mom's belly makes the perfect tv tray.

I don't even know what to say about this picture.  It's just Henry-almost naked, dirty, with a cut on his eye.
He's the best.
