February is almost over and no baby yet. It's quite surprising, since I've felt like it could be any day for weeks now. Collin was born at 38 weeks and my due date is 2/27, just a few days away. While it's been quite nice to have the family time together and quiet to get some things done on the ever-ending to-do, I feel like I'm ready for him to be here. Each weekend we've done some fun things together, enjoying our independence. 
Last Saturday (at 39 weeks) we went on a hike at Sope Creek, which is closer to us than any grocery store or gas station.
The Saturday before, we went to the zoo, and Collin enjoyed their new playground.
Probably the best thing has been watching Collin bonding with his baby brother in my belly. He loves to talk to Poppycorn and tells him all the things they are to do together when he gets older. One somewhat amusing thing of this stage is Collin always wanting to have some possession with him. For weeks after Christmas it was ALL of his Cars movie Cars and Mac, but now it's pretty much a new gadget or toy each day- many times very random items. The other day it was a hole punch he wanted to take everywhere - and we got some strange looks at the park. While I'm very excited for Poppycorn's arrival, I have really enjoyed being able to give Collin my full attention for the last 3 1/2 years. I feel like great timing since he is SO into his friends, he wants to help us with everything, and he is very excited to be a big brother. Only time will tell how he will handle the big adjustment!
