Tired?

I just informed my husband that I am pretty disappointed...here I sit feeling pretty good for the first time in several days and I am the only one awake....(I had to wake him to tell him)....My evenings have consisted of forcing Cameron to bed right after 8pm so I can crawl in bed right after him and sleep till the alarm goes off the next morning....of course there are 2-3 bathroom breaks in there (ALREADY!!!) too! Tonight is the first night in 5 weeks that I haven't been in bed by 9pm.

Life is good. I really can't complain!

While I've spent most of the morning napping, Cameron has been playing with Papa Bruce. I am thankful for a wonderful family. Aside from the luxury of letting me nap, my family (husband included) is wonderful at caring for each other. I thank our Heavenly Father daily for the blessing of a great family....including in-laws that I love!

We want to send out warm wishes to our friends the Doshiers. We are so excited for the arrival of their first child, Keaden James. We wish you many many years of the love that kids bring into your life. Right now, I'm sure, it's hard to imagine....but once those sleepless nights are gone and the diaper changing eases up....you'll believe me! For now, enjoy...they grow way to fast....before you know it he will talk your ear off and then randomly tell you "I love you sooooo much, daddy and mommy"....and your heart will melt!

Here's to a great, peaceful, restful, Sunday! I'm gonna go wrestle my back talker out of the tub, twist his arm to make him get dressed....drag him to sunbeams and force him to go all by himself! That's how peaceful my day will be. Chao!

A conversation

Mommy: "Do you think you need a new carseat?"

Cameron: "No, my baby brother needs a new car seat."

Mommy: "Honey, your baby brother has a car seat."

Cameron : "Well he needs a new one."

Cameron is sure we are having a boy. I love that he thinks about his baby before himself! He is so excited to share with him/her.

Blah!

So last time I left you with some pretty big news! I has taken some getting used to but...here we are at week 8. I feel okay....I have the occasional "morning sickness" wave...yes they come in waves for me....I get a little nauseas and then I eat and I'm fine again for 3-4 hours. I've already started gaining weight....keep in mind that by week 8 the little thing has formed into a teeny tiny baby and is about an inch long....about the size of a bean. I'm sure this little thing weighs less than an ounce! So how do I explain the 4 pounds I've gained in the last week? Keep in mind....I've spent the last 10 months losing 40 pounds....and it wasn't so I could gain it all back in less time than it took to lose it!

This last year I went from a size 20 jeans to a size 14. I bought a size 14 jean at Thanksgiving, a size 14 skirt last week. Now, neither fit! I'm not far enough along to start wearing maternity pants....I'm not showing....I'm bloated!

My breast hurt like nobodies business! I'm grumpy! And I am exhausted. These are all of the things I had forgotten I had experienced when I was pregnant with Cameron. Although, I swear it wasn't this bad!

All in all, I'm doing good. I enjoy spending time with my toddler. He cracks me up. He is so excited about everything....being a sunbeam, being a big brother, jumping in the puddles after it rains! I love his excitement. My very favorite that he does right now is ask to touch my belly. He loves to try to feel "his baby". He asks if he can feel his baby! He wants to buy his baby presents so that his baby can have presents to open for it's birthday.

Cole is still looking for a job. He's applied at several places and has recieved ZERO calls. It's pretty discouraging. However, He's se tto start school again in April and he's spretty psyched about that.

I go to my first OB appointment on Monday the 18th. We are hoping to hear the heart beat then. I will continue to update as time allows.
