The Return of "Things I've Heard Lately"

It's been awhile since I've done a "things I've heard lately" post.  But first, a baby update...I am 37 weeks and 5 days...only 2 weeks, 2 days to go!  Or less...at my last appointment, the doctor said things had started progressing and it could be any day...or I could still go up to my due date.  I really hate the not knowing...but it was the kick in the rear I needed to finally get the kids' and my bags packed.  Now, I'm trying my best to enjoy our last few newborn free days, but it's hard to relax when labor and delivery is looming in the future.  I've been feeling pretty crampy the last couple of days, asd was hoping the full moon would push me over the edge, but no such luck.  Maybe the baby will be born today...11/11/11 would be a great birthday!  We'll just have to wait and see, I guess.  She'll come when she's good and ready.

So, here are just a few things I've heard lately around my house:

Ella:  "I'm what they call, 'gifted.'"  (this was said to a friend that was over one night...not sure where she got this from)

Aidan:  "Mommy, what kind of spider is this?"
Me:  "I don't know.  Maybe a wolf spider?"
Aidan:  "No, look at his butt.  I know wolf spider butt, and that's not it."

Ella:  "I can't wait until the baby is here.  I'm going to share that horse, and that horse, and my pillow pet.  And I'm NOT going to put her in the oven.  I don't think she would like that."

Ella:  "I have a little sadness inside me."
Me:  "Why, what's wrong?"
Ella:  "I want Aidan to come home."

That's all for today!  Hopefully, my next post will be to announce the arrival of our new baby girl!
