awkward

I have exactly 12 days until my due date, according to the countdown on the computer put up by Marc. I think that awkward is the best description that I can come up with to describe how I am feeling. It has been a bit on the hot side, but today I am indulging in the cool air that is gently blowing through the house. It is a bit smoke filled, but I'll take it.

Lola is waiting for Baby Brother to "open the door" and come out. I am not sure who explained this phenomenon or where she come up with it, but I truly think it will work until she is ready for that explanation down the road. I believe that Lola is going to LOVE being a big sister. We have talked about it since we found out. She loves to talk to him, kiss the paunch in which he sits, and can't wait to help out. Her new word this week is 'irritated.' She picked it up from Paige. I don't think that she understands its meaning, and so hopefully, Baby Brother will not become an 'irritating' acquisition to the Tiar household or to Lola's world.

Other than that news, I have nothing new to share. Big adjustments are on the horizon for all of us: new baby and new house. A lot of work ahead of us.
