I am 36 weeks pregnant with my second child. It feels like this baby will come earlier than his/her due date of November 15, 2009. But I hope s/he is born in November. Alexei was Troy’s birthday present, born just one day before Troy’s birthday. And so I would like this baby to be my birthday present, born at least in my birthday month, no matter how many days before.

I am also working part time now. And I love it! I don’t get as bored at work and when I come home we all have lunch together. Then I put Alexei to nap and have some time for myself. I already finished all I could in my first baby’s scrapbook. This Saturday night I am going to Robyn’s to finish it up with stickers. I catch up on my reading, get ready for the second baby and the new house.

Yes, hopefully by October 30 we’ll get the keys to our new home. We already started packing. But, I won’t get too excited until I know for sure that the house is ours. Surely, Debbie, our agent is doing a great job in making sure everything goes as planned. We all like the house a lot. Even Alexei feels like at home there already. I will write more about him and his accomplishments in my next blog entry.

The weather now is beautiful. It is fall. It rained a lot last week and Alexei and I got to go outside for a little bit. We walked around a block only. This week it is sunny, worm, almost 70 F and beautiful. The sky is blue, the trees are changing color. Life is good!

What makes my life even better is my family here. Troy’s relatives are very nice, his parents are always so helpful and supportive and my husband himself makes my life so much more interesting, easier and enjoyable. And of course our little boy makes our family a very happy one!
