home stretch

Untitled Album
I thought I would post an album of our latest pictures. I didnt take chunk at his 2 yr old pictures so we are running a bit behind. He did so well. I'm 30 weeks today with baby number 2. I'm getting in that can't relax at night so I am alittle sleep deprived. Chunk is waking up with the sun so....I guess i'm getting ready for the big event. I can't believe it's coming up so soon.

Slacker mommy...lol

I've been working alot getting the nursery and chunk's room ready. Also I've been accident prone lately. It started with me slipping on a melted ice cube by my fridge. I fell on my knee and bruised it pretty good. 2 weeks I am just now able to kneel down. Those with toddlers know this is an important position...making beds, changing diapers, giving baths forget it... A few days later I got a spider bite on the underside of the arm. Checked it out at the dr and all was well. Last saturday chunk started puking. This turned into a solid week of not so solid diapers and some were disasters. I need to buy stock in Resolve carpet cleaner. Getting chunk used to his bed is loads of fun. He's going to bed okay but waking up with the sun. That, coupled with the fact that we got cable and can't seem to turn it off early enough at night and the fact that I am getting up to "pee" 5 times a night really has taken a toll. And I got the stomach bug too which ends up being confusing for me and I think I am having pregnancy problems cause lets face it it all runs together. By the way where does your stomach/intestines go when you are filled with a baby? Iwonder cause my "tummy" pains are now in my back and sides. I know there are some around the baby cause he is kicking them at the worst times, making nausea/stomach virus cramps so lovely. I did get to sleep in today. I woke up around 8:30 feeling refreshed (because i did not have the baby monitor on). Walked into the hallway to see Logan bare butt, little pee pee showing saying "chunk done Blahbleh"- aka Diaper....(insert psycho screaching music here) as I walk closer to see not one but about 5 mounds, MOUNDS of POO on his floor. His socks totally covered in poo. Did I mention I need stock in Resolve? I also needed some at that point. I thought I had overcome my stomach woes only to find them again.... So we've been having a time with the terrible twos lately. Yesterday DH took off work to kick the holiday off and I think he would've preferred to be at work cause chunk was in one of those moods. I was trying to not throw up all day in a dark room. I went to my OB appt however to be asked "how are you?" only to erupt in tears. It was one of those days. I gained about 6 lbs in a month so I was alittle bummed. I am in the stage to gain weight however so it was okay. She told me the baby was alittle larger than normal so it's looking like another chunk is coming. C-section is looking like our plan now it's okay though. I think it'll be less traumatic than chunk's birth/and injury. I'm glad this baby will have a fighting chance size wise with his huge brother lol. I was thinking about how tall/big chunk is and if this boy is a normal/little boy he will have alot of issues trying to compete with chunk. Not put on him by us but just normal growing up issues. So here's my huge enormous update for you guys. instead of posting a picture i will post a link to chunks new room/ and eli's crib set.....

nesting instincts...are exhausting

Well for the last week my anxiety over all the things we have to get done has kicked me into high gear. Last weekend DH and I had our garage sale and got his office somewhat fixed up. I think I mowed the lawn Saturday morning as well so DH could paint the babies room. This weekend I painted the babies room and chunks door/trim. It needed alot of touch up. I guess I'm a perfectionist when it comes to painting. But I really hurt my back today overdoing it. Working 5 hours on a room was too hard for this big pregnant lady. Chunk is so funny these days. He says hello to the lady across the street and says "Hi weirdo" it sounds like "Hi Woh" The lady came to our garage sale and he says "hi weirdo." So we asked her her name and now we try to correct him. He is calling Wal-Mart "K-Wa Wa" lol. He's calling the new baby "baby boom boom," and kissing baby brother and saying "going to the 'doctiss' to see baby boom boom?" He's such a conversationalist. I've been trying to teach him whisper which ends up with chunk yelling "WHISPER!" My
