Yeah, so its been WAY to long since I last sat down and did this and I promise as the next 6months creep along I will get better at this again!
I guess its true what they say about 2nd (3rd, 4th, etc) pregnancies and the fact they kinda just "happen" and all of a sudden you have another baby because for the life of me I can't keep track of how far along I am this time! I'm pretty sure I'm 15wks now give or take a few days...but I do know for certain I'm in the 2nd trimester and my due date is still August 5th! Thank goodness that first trimester is OVER! It wasn't hell as many women have it but I'm glad the all day queezies are gone, I can give Freyja a pickle without wanting to throw up and some of the soreness has gone away in places. And yes, the baby bump is starting to protrude!
Freyja has been practicing her big sister skills on her dolls lately. She tucks them in, feeds them, and drags them by their feet to the next room. She loves my belly, she gives it lots of kisses and zerberts! She told me the other day that theres a baby in her belly too but I quickly explained only mommies carry babies in their bellys and it was big sisters job to keep mommy's belly safe with lots of kisses. When asked what she wants she flip flops between brother and sister so I don't think she really cares (knows).
We're still working on potty training. She understands it needs to be done in the big potty and not the diaper but the connection of how to get there isn't there yet. The other morning when I was in the shower she was in the bathroom with me playing and I peeked out the curtain just in time to see her drop her drawers pull of her diaper and all but fall hiney first into the commode trying to get up there to "try" to go potty. So its time to install the training potty seat cushions on all the toilets so I dont have to worry about her falling in and getting a toilet complex.
Other cute stuff this kid has been up to: Last month I had a LOW blood sugar day and nearly passed out in the kitchen so I layed down in the floor til it passed and I could get up, well she brought me a pillow and blanket so we could cuddle together! I've recently started getting close again to one of my old high school best friends (DJ) and we try to get together at least once a week. She happens to live over by my chiropractor so when I go for my weekly adjustments (little bits of heaven!!) I drop Freyja off with her then come back and spend a good part of the afternoon visiting. Well, Freyja loves the cartoon Yo Gabba Gabba and one of the main characters on there is DJ Lance (the narrator of the show) and Freyja calls DJ-- DJ Lance...apparrently all DJ's are DJ Lances as all Bobs would be the same Bob? 2yr old logic astounds me!
Cute phrases: "I a good helper!", "Teamwork mommy!" While gardening and pulling weeds..."mommy wins!!" as the weed gives way and mommy falls on her butt! "I lush you", "I miss you", "Gran (or Papa or Nonnie) is far far away :(", "I like it, I eat it, I eat it all gone!"...the common exclamation at the grocery store when she finds something she wants me to buy. "Princess Bubble bath please?" and of course daddy's favorite "pwause, please daddy, pwwwause" when she wants him to stop something and pay attention to her.
So I know the photo album for 30months is lacking but I promise this month as it warms up and we can get out more you will see the normal barage of 20million pictures! Between work (which I QUIT in May...are we there yet?!?) and all this cold weather and not to mention this little energy and life sucker inside of me I really have not had the time/energy/strength/motivation to do much more than lounge close to where Freyja is and kinda catnap! So, I love you all and stay tuned to the next installment!
