Getting into the rhythm of things

We are slowly getting into a routine. I was a little worried about Meagan heading into Kindergarten on her own, but our wonderful next door neighbor, Lexi, has made that a lot easier. She has been walking Meagan into her pod area, but next week Meagan will do it on her own. It has been a good transition. Meagan likes the kids at school and loves her teacher. I do think that she misses her friends that she played with so much all summer like Lexi, Avery, Wendye, etc, but we were able to go over to Stephanie's house this week to see them. Stephanie has an awesome movie room and the girls all watched a movie about stranger danger (they are at that age!) and danced to music up on the big screen.
Natalie has been doing great also. She misses her sister all day, but they are happy to see each other each afternoon and have lots to talk about. Each morning Nati gets some special time with me before she heads off to school, which unfortunately sometimes the dogs "benefit" from (as you can see from the photo of Pokie.) I think that the idea of the baby coming soon is becoming more real to both girls. My doctor and I joke about how this is the never ending pregnancy simply because it has been so crazy, but we really are down to the last part now. I am 31 weeks, so I imagine we have less than 2 months. We have a few last things planned before he comes, like going to San Antonio in a few weeks to go to Sea World and stay at a hotel, and Natalie has her birthday in a few weeks. Hopefully, the girls will transistion better to being a bigger family because they have one another.
