Energy Level zapped!

So for all those mothers who have children one right after another (Mommy Alleman) I totally respect you. I have no idea how you can maintain a sane attitude while pregnant with a 2 year old or less running around. Let's just say by 6 pm i am so glad that Chris is home. I am plain worn out and tired, just had to vent. Jordon is doing a little better with the toddler bed but still needs at least one of us to put him to bed and of course can't leave til he's asleep. We've tried the say goodnight and shut the door idea, it just gets worse and worse. This is our only solution, maybe in a little while when he starts to understand the concept better he'll let us just put him in his room. I am dreaming of that day. This morning he let me sleep in until 6:30 instead of 5:45ish. I was very happy about that. But the days are long when he won't go down until 11:30-12 and only sleeps a couple of hours or so. But he does fall asleep before 8 which gives me some down time in the evening.

We have 7 1/2 weeks left, pray for my sanity! I dont know about having 2 boys in the house, but i can't wait to be done being pregnant. Next time we'll rethink the due date, no more summer pregnancies. Everything is going well with the pregnancy, besides a bad sciatic nerve and not wanting to move around too much. The dr says i'm measuring a week behind but the ultrasound came out fine, i guess our babies tend to be smaller which i am perfectly fine with. We almost have the nursery all done, everything is pretty much all set, just got to do some freezer meals, wash some clothes, baby shower, and a few odds and ends. HOpe all is well with everyone else!

Filling Dad's Shoes

Well Jordon has shown some interest in my (Chris') shoes recently and here are the pictures to prove how silly he can be. Or maybe how silly we can be as parents. Enjoy!

Dr Appointment

Today i had my dr appointment. I am almost 32 weeks along, hard to believe it's only 2 months away til D-Day! I don't know if i'm ready to have another kid in the house, but i do know i am done with being pregnant. I forgot how much fun the last trimester is. This time i'm actually having a normal pregnancy which is nice but at the same time at least when i was on bedrest i didn't feel the round ligament aches as much and sciatic nerve pain isn't cool either. But we are surviving, we have a sprinkler out back for Jordon and I to cool ourselves off with the heat.

I had a sonogram today since last time the dr said i wasn't measuring correctly(a week behind) which in my opinion isn't bad at all. I always seem to measure smaller. But the sono went great, actually little David has turned, he was in a breach position too just like katie, but now he's head down. Said he is at 3 1/2 pounds so far, fluid levels normal, and my blood pressure is doing good. They had to give me the RH Rogam shot today in the hip. The joys of having the rh factor. But it wasn't too bad.

It has been a long day, Jordon didn't get much of a nap today, so he crashed at 7:15. Time to Relax! And time for my super big gulp! hahaa!

Jordon's Weird Sleeping Habits

So at 3:00 Jordon decided to finally take his nap. I know it might not sound bad to some out there, but he's been awake since 6 AM. I tried from 12-1 to get him down with plenty of tears on both sides. I gave up and said, fine no nap today then. My hopes of him being asleep by 7 PM are long gone. I still have a very long day ahead of me. It's kindof hard to not put him down when he's eating carrots in the high chair almost asleep on the tray. No fussing from him to nap, he saw his bed, i put him in it, he saw big bear and crashed. Good thing Chris will be home soon, I let him take over bed time routine, Jordon listens a whole lot better to him now. Well dinners all done, i guess i'll do the dishes and take a well deserved nap myself.

New Pics!

our incredible growing boy! who thinks he wants to be potty trained, i think he just wanted to sit where i was sitting before bathtime, but we can all hope he wants to get out of diapers soon! We wouldn't mind.

Summer fun has already begun, not even much into June and he already has a bit of a tan line. He loves water! Even got a sprinkler for us to cool ourselves off, thanks Chris!

We actually got him to wear a hat, Thomas the Train, for a few moments to take pictures. Jordon is so determined to not wear anything on his head, just as bad as when we tried to put shoes on him. Of course, I am quite proud that we bought his first pair of sandals that he himself picked out. He went from a size 7-8 1/2.

Jordon giving David a big hug! Jordon loves his little brother to be, not a fan of the mama with no lap though!

3T overalls, yes he does fit into them! Growing toooooooo fast!

Thought you would all like some recent pictures, we are doing pretty good, have a child who is determined to be up at the crack of dawn(ok it's not too bad, but it's still 6 or 6:30 AM) Still working on the toddler bed, hopefully he'll get away from us being in the room, any advice is welcome!

Have a great weekend!
