Well technically she is 2 and 1 month and change, but I'm no good about being on time for anything LOL.
She is a handful....go ahead and look up that word in the dictionary, it will have her picture beside it. We are definitely in the throws of the terrible two's. She is such an independent little girl which is wonderful, and horrible at the same time.
It means more messes, and more things I don't have to worry about doing for her at the same time.
She has such a big vocabulary, and will repeat almost everything you say, which is totally cute. At her 2 year checkup I was worried that she wasn't talking very much, at least I couldn't understand her very well, but a month later and she is talking up a storm. I can only imagine what she is going to be like in 2 months. I think we will be OK.
She was 30 pounds and 35 inches tall. 75% percentile for weight and 95% percentile for height. In other words she is perfect...and will be perfectly tall too :D
She loves Umi Zoomi and her favorite part of the show is the crazy shake at the end. I'm talking shaking her hands and head and squealing, and singing parts of the words. Her second favorite is Bubble Guppies, again because they dance in the middle of it and girl likes to dance.
She loves...LOVES macaroni and cheese. Its the only thing that I am guaranteed that she will eat. Well as long as its the elbow macaroni and yellow cheese sauce. That gourmet stuff you get off the kids menu at some restaurants she won't touch it (which really irks me...its a kids menu...don't make simple things gourmet! grrrr!)
She is still not liking most foods, but sometimes on occasion she will try something. We're working on it. And because of this, she is now having to take a multivitamin every day. Her iron numbers came back REALLY low at her 2 year check up so she is getting an iron supplement as well. We will go back to the doctor at the end of October to have them recheck the numbers and if they are still low then we will have to put her in the hospital for iron treatments. That is not something that I am looking forward to especially since I will either have a VERY newborn baby or be VERY close to my due date. Neither of which we are happy with, but obviously will have to do it if we have to. We will manage.
She is in love with her Daddy. She has to be wherever he is, doing whatever he is doing, looking at whatever he is looking at. If his hands are above his head, hers are too. Its so adorable. She loves to imitate, but then again at this age, I suppose all children do.
Where oh where has the time gone! I am excited to see what you will do next, but I long for the days when you were a cuddly tiny squishy baby....I didn't get enough time with you then.
Stop growing up little girl....Please stay little forever.

29 + 5 week update
Join me on this wonderful journey as our family goes from 3 to 4
Today I am exactly 29 weeks 5 days pregnant. My due date is still 11-12-13, although the last 2 appointments I have gone to I am measuring 2 weeks ahead of schedule. I started out weighing 235, and at my last appointment 2 weeks ago I weighed either 246 or 247, she moved the thing so fast I'm not sure what it said and I couldn't understand her when I asked but its not a big deal to me. I'm going to attempt to not gain more than 10 additional pounds, but we shall see what happens. I'm not going to stress if I do.
Cravings: I'm still craving fresh foods. I just bought a TON of produce at the store. Apples, oranges, peaches, kiwi, but dang it now I realized I forgot the plums. :(
Aversions: Heavy fried foods and burgers, pizza and fast food are still on my list of things I don't want any more of. I want home cooked, or restaurant cooked fresh foods..light foods, like salads and grilled chicken and stuff like that. Although steak fries still taste amazing to me. Go figure.
Symptoms: Heartburn and hip pain. I am now taking 2 Zantac per day to curb the heartburn and depending on what I have eaten, sometimes it doesn't even help. And the hip pain is here to stay I believe. The baby is so low my hips grind and yesterday while in Home Depot with Richard I was walking behind him and at one point it hurt so badly I was actually concerned with how I was going to make it out of the store because I literally could not take another step.
I am loving: That I can now see my stomach flip and roll and kick. Its one of my favorite parts of pregnancy. No one has felt him yet though. I'm waiting till closer to the end before I make Richard feel him, but I try to get Leigha to and she just doesn't sit still long enough. (This is the same as my last update so I'm leaving it)
Sleep: Is getting better. I still wake up at 2 am every night, but I'm getting better at being able to fall back to sleep. Sometimes i need to take a half a unisom to help, but I only do that on occasion especially when I know I will be needing a good nights rest the night before. I also think the pregnancy pillow I bought at the beginning of the pregnancy helps too. Its nice to have something to prop up the stomach and put between my knees.
I miss: Being able to walk normally. I am starting to waddle rather badly both because of the hip pain and because he is so low.
I am looking forward to: Getting his room set up. I started cleaning it out a couple weeks ago and have sold my really big craft table so I at least have room for a crib if need be LOL. I also ordered the crib bedding this week and it should be here Tuesday at which point we will start painting probably next weekend. We have to do some major rearranging of furniture and sell more stuff, but its getting there.
I'm spazzing about: I still don't have all the things that I think I need. However since my last update I have acquired a video monitor, some baby blankets, swaddlers, infant towels, burp cloths and have the bedding being shipped to me. I have also bought a changing table from a friend, but I have yet to pick it up. I still need a crib/bassinet, changing pad, paint,
Best moment this week: Finding out I may have gestational diabetes and yes, I'm being VERY sarcastic LOL. I had my 1 hour test this past Tuesday at 28 weeks. I received a phone call from the office and I immediately assumed that I was anemic so I started taking iron supplements. However when I called the office back a couple days later (I couldn't call earlier) she told me I had failed and needed to go back to do the 3 hour test. I'm hoping its because of the half package or double stuff Oreo's that I ate as breakfast and lunch the day before. Oreos are my weakness, pregnant or not. I have since cut back drastically on the amount of cokes and sweets that I am eating because I really hope that it was just a fluke thing. I will find out on Tuesday or Wednesday after that test is done.
Milestones: He is a STRONG little boy. I have made it to the point in pregnancy when I am literally saying 'OUCH' when he kicks lots of times. Leigha never did this, or maybe she did and the anterior placenta muffled it, but WOW, I have a future NFL kicker in here for sure!
Movement:Definitely on a schedule. I have 5 times a day when I can set a clock by him. He definitely already has his schedule down pat.
It's a...: Boy, a boy...a beautiful baby Boy named Blake
Exercise: Chasing Leigha. She has become a hellion now and runs away from me at every request that I make...even getting into her chair and eating. She is still doing this and it is still pretty much all the exercise I get...I'm starting to get winded really quickly these days.
Diet: Lots and lots of watermelon, milk and meats...mainly beef and chicken, and now fruit and water. Water is amazing to me now, and nothing else tastes even remotely good.
Goals for the upcoming week: As always, drink more water.

25 week update
Join me on this wonderful journey as our family goes from 3 to 4
Today I am exactly 25 weeks. My due date is still 11-12-13. I started out weighing 235, and today I weighed 245. I'm going to attempt to not gain more than 10 additional pounds, but we shall see what happens. I'm not going to stress if I do.
Cravings: I'm still craving fresh foods
Aversions: Heavy fried foods are now on my list of things I just can't handle a lot of.
Symptoms: Heartburn. OMG the heartburn is so much worse than it was with Leigha. I've had to resort to taking a nightly Zantac and more frequently one during the day as well. It is the most uncomfortable thing ever. Pickles stopped working a couple weeks ago. Good I guess considering I was getting sick of eating them. And I used to love pickles.
I am loving: That I can now see my stomach flip and roll and kick. Its one of my favorite parts of pregnancy. No one has felt him yet though. I'm waiting till closer to the end before I make Richard feel him, but I try to get Leigha to and she just doesn't sit still long enough.
Sleep: Is getting better. When I remember to take my Zantac, its much better. Leigha is getting 4 more teeth in (her canine teeth) so she cries out in the middle of the night quite often, but doesn't really wake up, but that of course wakes me up. I should probably turn off the monitor, but I just can't bring myself to do that yet.
I miss: Sleep, and not have to pee every 15 minutes.
I am looking forward to: Getting his room set up. I STILL haven't started to clean it out which is starting to give me anxiety attacks whenever I think about it, but I have a definite plan of where i want everything to go and a slight handle on paint colors, which will be more locked in when I actually find a bedding set that I like. The room will be in a frog theme, and I'm just trying to find one cute enough for my tastes.
I'm spazzing about: Not having hardly anything for this baby but 3 totes of clothes. I may have gone a little overboard. Sure I have Leigha's swing and bouncy and stuff, but none of the major things. No crib, bedding, monitor, diapers, clean room etc. AND starting at the end of August, I start the 2 week appointments. How in the WORLD is this going by so fast!
Best moment this week: I really can't come up with one. I had an appointment today and the doctor said I'm measuring about 2 weeks ahead...that was pretty cool, but nothing I'm taking to heart. Next time is my GTT test. Ohh the drink, I can't hardly wait! (kidding!!)
Milestones: Oh oh oh oh!!!! We came up with a name! LOL. How can I skip that?! His name will be Blake. Blake Thomas. We were debating on 2 names and then had a new front walkway poured and I told Richard to put Leigha's initial in the wet cement along with her hand and foot prints and then I told him that I wishes the new baby could have something in it too and suggested that we put what his initials would be and it just kinda came out as BTH. So his name is set in stone...LITERALLY!!! LOL
Movement:Definitely on a schedule. I have 5 times a day when I can set a clock by him. He definitely already has his schedule down pat.
It's a...: Boy, a boy...a beautiful baby Boy!
Exercise: Chasing Leigha. She has become a hellion now and runs away from me at every request that I make...even getting into her chair and eating. She is still doing this and it is still pretty much all the exercise I get...I'm starting to get winded really quickly these days.

Oops
I just realized that I have some really exciting news and that I completely dropped the ball on giving it to you. Eek! Sorry!
Anyways, before I get on with my update, we had our big anatomy scan last week. Everything looked so great. We got a great profile shot of the baby and I think it looks EXACTLY like Leigha did. Richard and I decided to bring Leigha because I wanted us to find out the gender of the baby as a family. Granted she did not know what was going on, it was still a special day. The baby looked healthy and is developing right on schedule.
Also, we are having a BOY!!!!!! and we couldn't be more thrilled. Honestly I think Richard and I were shocked. Don't get me wrong, I wanted a boy, but I was convinced that it was going to be another girl. Everything said girl...heart rate, Chinese gender predictor, and all kinds of other wives tales said it was going to be a girl...but regardless we are over the moon and in shock.
No names yet...we haven't even thought of any, but we do have a list going....a rather LONG list, but maybe we can narrow it down before our son makes his entrance into the world. :D
Anyways, now that the world knows about our beautiful baby boy, I will continue with the update.
Today I am 20 weeks 3 days
Join me on this wonderful journey as our family goes from 3 to 4
Weight Gain: Starting weight: 232 (Can't believe I just admitted that).
Cravings: I'm craving fresh foods. Salads, fruits, that kinda thing.
Aversions: Burgers and fast food and things of that nature are not so appealing to me anymore
Symptoms: Sore boobs, for sure! I don't remember this with Leigha, but maybe since I didn't have a 28 pound child climbing all over me all day every day back then it wasn't so much of an issue.
I am loving: I am feeling him now! I know that for sure. He's a stubborn little booger though.
Sleep: Non existent again. I am battling yet ANOTHER cold...second one this month.
I miss: Sleeping on my stomach. When I roll onto my stomach it immediately wakes me up because it hurts...its not uncomfortable, it HURTS
I am looking forward to: Getting bigger. Honestly, I can't wait for this belly to keep growing and watching it roll and move as he keeps getting bigger.
I'm spazzing about: We haven't even started on getting his room cleaned out. It will probably take the remaining 4 months to get it done, it is such a mess. It will more than likely be down to the wire for sure. Especially since we are turning a room that's purpose at the moment is storage, office, sewing room and library....LOTS of things in that room!
Best moment this week: I got some baby boy clothes. Nothing spectacular, just some really cute clothes and onesies and things. I also got him a Thanksgiving outfit (even though he may not be here by then) and 2 Christmas outfits, and even a Halloween costume for next year! I'm pretty sure this costume is guaranteed not to fit because I got it so early, but that's OK.
Milestones: I THINK I can feel him from the outside, but like his sister he is stubborn and doesn't want me to feel him at all yet. He can be kicking up a storm, but the second I put my hand on my stomach, he stops.
Movement: Definitely, and I am so excited about it too.
It's a...: BOY
Exercise: I don't have the energy to exercise after having 2 colds in 1 month. I feel like I have been beat up and spit back out.
Diet: Nah...just trying to eat more fresh healthy foods.
Goals for the upcoming week: Kick this stupid cold...that's my main focus at this point.

16 Weeks
Join me on this wonderful journey as our family goes from 3 to 4
I'm sorry that I have slipped back into my bad habits of posting every once in a while. I had done so good for those past couple weeks, but Ah well. Today I am currently 16 weeks and 5 days. My next doctors appointment is on Tuesday.
Cravings: The past couple weeks all I have wanted is Taco Bell. I am so hungry for it, I cant stand it most days.
Aversions: Not too many aversions.
Symptoms: I can feel the baby now when I push on my stomach. Its a hard little knot and I know its the baby and not my uterus because it moves around when I push on it.
I am loving: That I'm starting to round out more. I don't think I look as fat as I did in the past few weeks, but I for sure look pregnant now (or at least I hope that I do.)
Sleep: Completely non-existent at this point. Leigha and I have been sick with a cold now for most of this past week so between her coughing spells in the middle of the night, my coughing spells and waking up to pee...I'm only getting 4 hours a night, and its a sporadic 4 hours at that.
I miss: Sleep. And being able to take medications.
I am looking forward to: Scheduling our gender ultrasound. I dont know when it is yet, we will make the appointment on Tuesday, but i estimate it to be sometimes around June 18th...when I will be 19 weeks. Although I am going to really try to get it for June 11th. I'm being REALLY impatient and if I knew of a way that I could convince Richard to do an elective ultrasound I would totally do it LOL.
I'm spazzing about: Nothing really. I still have my moments about 2 kids and all, but I think its getting better. Millions of women are doing this every day and have been doing it for hundreds of years...surely I can too.
Best moment this week: Realizing that I am feeling this baby kick already. At first I felt flutters, but now I'm feeling kicks. I know its still too early for Richard to feel it, but I'm enjoying this little one kicking away. Its much harder than it was with Leigha (than I remember anyways)
Milestones:Nothing that I can think of other than the movement and feeling the baby in my stomach.
Movement: Just a little.
It's a...: No clue! But we're CLOSE!!!!
Exercise: Chasing Leigha. She has become a hellion now and runs away from me at every request that I make...even getting into her chair and eating.
Diet: Lots and lots of watermelon, milk and meats...mainly beef and chicken.
Goals for the upcoming week: Get rid of this stupid cold!! And drink more water.

Week 14 update
Join me on this wonderful journey as our family goes from 3 to 4
This has been a crazy week so far. Leigha has become more active than ever. I never thought it would be possible. She is also testing my patience like never before. She is hitting and kicking more and its really starting to wear on my nerves, she runs away, doesn't listen, won't walk when holding my hand and just falls so it looks like I'm just dragging her across the floor, she screams non stop when I'm on the phone and has discovered that she can throw things...HARD and I'm usually her target. I'm just feeling abused and unloved at this point, which is ridiculous I know because its typical toddler behavior but its hard when no one will back me up. Especially when she hits and kicks me, if there is anyone else in the room, they usually don't say anything, and since she doesn't listen to me...well you get the idea.
When she gets like this my mind automatically goes to thinking I can't do this with a newborn, and that I don't think I want to go through this stage again. I'm scared she will hit/kick the new baby, or just basically become a holy terror once he/she comes in November. I need to figure out a way to calm myself down. I know this stress isn't good for the baby which is proven because of the Braxton Hicks contractions I've been feeling the past few days. I have talked to my doctor and she told me I need to rest more. Kinda impossible with Leigha, but I try.
Anyways, thanks for listening to my rant...now back to my irregularly scheduled update...
I'm currently 14 weeks and 4 days. Due 11/12/13
(not entirely sure how that happened. I just realized I was 14 weeks when I had to call my doctor yesterday...oops!)
Weight Gain: I'm not going to have this category anymore unless I go to the doctor for an appointment because I just don't weigh myself otherwise.
Cravings: I haven't noticed any cravings this past week. Again I just haven't really wanted to eat much. I kinda wanted taco bell, but not strongly enough to get any. Although come to think of it I did devour nearly an entire large jar of pickles in 3 days.
Aversions: Chinese. Richard brought some home the other day and while I forced it down, i just really didn't want to eat it.
Symptoms: I'm definitely feeling the baby move a little.
I am loving: Not much this week....its been a bad week.
Sleep: I finally got some Unisom so I have slept good the past couple of nights. Not the best, but better than i have been.
I miss: Feeling normal. I wanna be back to me. I'm sure this is all hormonal and has to do with me not having taken my depression meds since finding out about this baby.
I am looking forward to: Finding out what this little bean is in a couple of weeks.
I'm spazzing about: Still freaking out about 2 kids.
Best moment this week: Having dinner with my family and sister in law last night for her
birthday. Not baby related, but still one of the few highlights.
Milestones:Starting to feel movement.
Movement: Just a little bit.
It's a...: No clue!
Exercise: Chasing after Leigha
Diet: More water
Goals for the upcoming week: Try to figure out a way to de-stress and drink more water. I've got to stop these contractions or I'm afraid my doctor will put me on bedrest. :(

Week 13
Join me on this wonderful journey as our family goes from 3 to 4
I'm currently 13 weeks (and 3 days) and the baby is about the size of a shrimp. My weeks change over on Tuesdays...but ya'll know I'm lazy and never post anything on time. :D
Weight Gain: Starting weight: 232 (Can't believe I just admitted that). Was at 235 at my last appointment. Im going to try really hard to not balloon up this time. My goal for this pregnancy is 20 pound weight gain or less since I weighed so much when I got pregnant.
Cravings: None, I just don't like food. Its not that I don't want to eat it, I do, but nothing sounds good. Of course, Richard says the same thing so I'm sure that its not just a pregnancy thing.
Aversions: None. Not that I don't want to eat....Sounds weird with the last one, but I just don't have anything that I can't stand the thought of.
Symptoms: I am starting to feel my uterus when I push on my stomach. Definitely a lot earlier than last time.
I am loving: That I can eat again without getting nauseous.
Sleep: Whats sleep? Between having to pee seemingly every hour and Leigha waking up to cry for 10 seconds every couple hours (SO ANNOYING!!)...I'm not getting much.
I miss: Having an alcoholic drink if I wanted it. Today Leigha didn't take a nap so by the end of the day my nerves were shot....all I wanted was a Smirnoff or 2 or 3. :( Sad to think that I won't be able to have another one of those until at least November 2014 Lord willing.
I am looking forward to: Really feeling the baby move. I can feel it swimming around in there and settling down into my bladder like Leigha used to...definitely earlier than I did with her too.
I'm spazzing about: Being a mom to 2 kids...especially when they both are crying and need me at the same time. Still have my doubts. Its an issue that I'm trying to work through with my therapist.
Best moment this week: I got to hear the heartbeat at my appointment.....161. I saw it through the ultrasound at the last one, but its not the same as hearing it on the Doppler
Milestones: Could it be considered a milestone if someone that I only see on a VERY occasional basis asked if I was having a baby?
Movement: Its starting. The settling is very noticeable and I THINK I may be starting to feel kicks, but I'm not going to call it a certainty yet.
It's a...: No clue! I'm still hoping for a boy, but I'm beginning to think Girl. I've been trying to come up with some good things about having 2 girls so that I don't get upset in the ultrasound room when the time comes...so far I have built in best friends, and sharing clothes...any more that I'm missing?
Exercise: Chasing Leigha whenever she gets a hold of something that she is not supposed to have....the girl is a scissor magnet, I swear she can get them down off the highest shelf without climbing. And I've been trying to get down on the floor with her more to play and chase and tickle and teach, even if I just let her climb on me, but I'm really trying to be more active with her including taking her to the park more just so we have some movement.
Diet: Really trying to make an effort to eat more fruits and veggies. Just ignore the big bowl of ice cream with hot fudge, marshmallow sauce and whipped cream sitting next to me :) (Remember Leigha didn't nap today) Oh, and I've been trying to (and succeeding) in drinking a lot more water this week...I hope to keep that up.
Goals for the upcoming week: Drink even more water and try to keep up the healthy eating.

Day in the life, Spring 2013. Sunday
I figured that since I haven't done a DITL post in so long so at the very last minute (like 7:30 am) I decided to make a DITL post of this day. I figured I might as well document this spring since Leigha is at such a fun age and I feel like for the most part I have a handle on things. :)
7:20 am I wake up having to go to the bathroom, but lay in bed for 10 minutes willing myself to go back to sleep and wait until 8 when Leigha wakes up.
7:30 am snuggle time in the bed with the dogs playing with them because we never get to play with them in the mornings anymore.
8:00 am Leigha wakes up for the morning. I hear her music player turn on, a sure sign that she is more than ready to start the day. At least she isn't crying.
8:30 am. After getting Leigha up and turning on the TV to watch a little of the morning news, Richard tells me that he wants to go to Hope Depot later this morning to get some things and to get breakfast.
9:00 am Not wanting to get left behind as he is always threatening to do, but I doubt he ever will, I rush to get dressed and get Leigha dressed too. I manage to remember to get a picture of me, my first belly shot at 11 weeks, 5 days. Just bloat I'm sure, but already in maternity clothes. I also get a picture of Leigha's crazy closet. This girl has SO MANY CLOTHES!!! Her closet is worse than mine!! And we're on our way!!
9:10 am We arrive at home depot. Leigha wants out of the cart so I let her loose in the store the whole time telling her to "Follow Daddy" or "Get Daddy" She runs after him the whole way. Its SO cute. (I took a picture even though Richard said no pictures in the store LOL.
9:45 am Dunkin donuts for breakfast and stopping at the gas station for some milk and OJ because neither of us feel like driving all the way to the grocery store. We some hungry folks! She is so excited over them that she dances while she eats the first one until we put her in her high chair so we can eat and then Richard and I both play farmville on facebook for a little while.
10:45 am Richard is finished with his breakfast sandwiches, I'm finished with my 4 donuts...they were SO good, I had to treat myself. And we gave Leigha 2 donuts....we'll regret giving her this ALL afternoon. Play time for Leigha follows with some operation and a creative way for Richard to keep her out of his Sunday project.
11 ish While Leigha is playing quietly,I thought I would take the opportunity to try to find the new baby's heartbeat. I can't find it, Leigha decides to try. Afterwards we go outside for some playing on the swings and slide and just running around the backyard in general.
12:30 I realize when Leigha is supposed to begetting ready for her nap that I forgot to make her lunch. Its too late to cook her something, so I scrounge the fridge for some graham crackers, saltines, peanut butter and some cheese cubes and a glass of lemonade. I later add pineapple for some fruit, but she doesn't eat it. She eats everything on her plate with the exception of the peanut butter. She loves the stuff, but apparently isn't used to seeing it like this and she doesn't really know what it is, so she put it in her hair. You know, because that's where you put things if you don't know what they are. LOL
I heat up some left over chicken and rice. Its kinda watery so I put in some extra rice that I have and let it sit for a while to absorb the water. Such a good lunch.
In the mean time Richard is putting a ceiling fan together for her room. She has never had one before and her room always seems warm and stuffy. We should have put one in when we were putting the room together before she was here, but we didn't. Leigha helps after lunch. She's a regular little miss fix-it.
1:30, Leigha and I are both done FINALLY so I take her to her room to put her down and she picks out 2 books and then I rock and sing to her and put her in her bed. She is wide awake and plays in her crib for about 30 minutes.
2:00 pm. I am laying on the couch and so sleepy so I decided to take a nap. Leigha is starting to complain in her room by this point, but I have already rocked her, read to her, and I refuse to go back in there until 3. I'm hoping she settles down but Richard tells me she doesn't. I tell him that if I fall asleep to wake me up at 3
2:50 pm I wake up on my own on the couch with very large poster pictures frames resting against my legs and newspaper clippings and tickets all over the floor. Leigha is crying by this point, so I tell Richard to just go get her. He brings her in the living room and because he is working on his project for his bonus room, I try to keep her on my lap on the couch, but she is not having any of it, so I give her the camera. It occupies her for about 15 minutes. I try to bring up some of her favorite song videos on youtube, she's not having that either, so as soon as its safe and I'm able to get up and off the couch, I take her back outside. This girl would LIVE outside if we let her. I'm positive of it.
At this second trip outside I forget the camera, but its more of the swing and the slide. This time though, Leigha pulls out the jogging stroller and pushes it around the driveway. She discovers that she can push it and walk away and it will roll back to her. I push it to the 'steeper' part of the driveway and she LOVES that it rolls back to her and just cracks up with belly laughs. We stay outside for about an hour before coming in for a potty break, after which she discovers the operation game again. She loves trying to take the things out of the little holes.
4:00 Back outside we go. More swinging and sliding. Only this time she decides to show me her cartwheels in which she just puts her head on the ground and sticks her butt in the air LOL. The little girl next door was doing cartwheels in the backyard a few weeks ago and Leigha started doing that when she would do her cartwheel. She loves her cartwheels. She points out airplanes, learns the words Bee, Clouds, Sky, plane, wasp and bird. She tries to blow the dandelion flowers, but can't quite yet. We are outside for yet another hour. Its the ONLY way that I am able to keep her quiet after she has been awake ALL. DAY. LOOOONG! :D
5:00 I cook her dinner while Richard entertains her doing something. She gets what I call butter babies, which is plain macaroni with butter. I call them butter babies because she gets all buttery whenever she eats them. I try to get in SOME water today. This pregnancy, I have been HORRIBLE in my water intake.
5:30, we are eating...well Leigha is eating, I'm eating her left overs, and then after she goes to bed, Richard and I will eat some BBQ. YUM!!!
6:30, bath time starts. I let her play while I run her bath and get her bed ready, and get her jammies. I give her some benadryl because I noticed she has started in with a runny nose today while playing. I put her on the potty because she has been trying to potty train for about a month or so. Then its dance party time. I usually let her dance stark nekkid and its SOOO much cuter but didn't really want that video on the internet, so I threw on a pair of her shorts. Its still cute.
7:00 quickie bath, light playing, and putting jammies on and she is in bed by 7:30.
7:30, I start the usual playing on the internet, and decide to work on the blog...which I have been doing here and there throughout the day, just typing up little bits and pieces so I don't forget.
Richard is working and I'm in bed about 10. This computer is being stupid about uploading the pictures to the blog and its taking FOREVER!!! I finish up this post and then I'm out. I'm exhausted from this day and from trying to wrangle her around since she never took a nap today. Rest assured that we will NEVER give her 2 donuts for breakfast again, and definitely NOT iced ones. LOL.
Night all!
