No, 38 is not my age, ’cause the math doesn’t add up. Our baby is now 38 weeks + 2 days along in its gestation. In other words, I have two more weeks left before we find out if it’s really a boy or a girl.
So that’s what it looks like.
Chase’s last day of rotations (before the baby comes) ended on Friday so we celebrated with a homemade berry pie. I’m no Martha Stewart (that hat fits my friend Vanessa far better than me) but I was pretty proud of the way my pie crust turned out with the lattice top.
The following day our friend Michael came over to help jumpstart Chase’s next home improvement project. They tore out the upstairs toilet & vanity, the bathroom floor and fit a ceiling fan into it for the bathroom below and roughly mapped out the plumbing to put in a new bathtub and shower.
Enoch turned the old ceiling fan box into a “sailboat.” 
The Petersen house is a-buzz with excitement as we prepare for the coming of the new little one. Enoch recites the rules of what is and is not okay for a baby to do. Sitting at the kitchen counter with the car keys in his hand he said, “I put the keys over here so the baby not put them in its mouth.” Or when asked what he’ll do when the baby comes he responds, “I hold him gently and feed him.” To Enoch all things are male so don’t get the idea that the baby will certainly be a boy. We have much to do in this period of preparation and will keep all you anxious readers posted on the results.
