Harvest over

So I'm happy to report that harvest in now done! It only took a little over a month but for me that seemed to drag on forever! Zander is very happy to have his daddy back and Chris is slowly getting Zander to like him again. I'm afraid he became a very big mommy suck, partly my fault though as I allowed Zander to sleep in our bed when Chris was gone, so of course it is now a bad habit to try and break!
We have been having the most beautiful weather lately and have been taken advantage of it going outside every chance we get and wearing our shorts a couple more times before winter. Zanders new favorite thing is to go "exploring" with Kaitlyn. That means tramping through the trees, somehow they even manage to squeeze through out liliac bushes which results in quite a few scratches and bruises but that doesn't seem to phase them. We have also began decorating for halloween, and Zander has learned some new words "spooky", "pumpkin" and his favorite "scared", when he is scared he wants me to pick him up and carry him - this usually happens when we are outside walking and he gets pretty heavy and my stomach has started to get in the way!
With harvest over Chris is starting the focus on "projects" around the house. tonight he started ripping out drywall on what will be Zanders new bedroom. I am very happy to see it started as I have begun to get anxious about all of things left to do and me at 31 weeks and of course the high blood pressure and swelling has already began so I can see it being a very happy last 2 months!
For right now though we're just trying to enjoy the weather and spend quality time with Zander as I'm sure his nose is going to be a little out of joint when the new baby arrives. When I ask him if he wants to be a big brother he firmly responds "no, baby" but I'm sure he'll grow to love the baby as much as he does now when it's in my tummy and it kicks him and he gives it kisses!
