I'm really enjoying this week. It's funny how now that I don't have to get up early, it seems hard to get out of the door by 11! I love having this time with Henry in the morning. Today is going to be a fun family day. I'm going to work on his "I'm a Big Brother" t-shirt and Henry is going to work on a painting for his baby sister's homecoming. Tonight we're all going to the mall to pick out a coming home outfit for baby. I wasn't going to buy anything new because we already have plenty of baby girl clothes, but it was RJ's idea and I'm way excited. He's not usually one to suggest going to the mall, so I'm not turning it down!

I'm bringing a Chicken Pot Pie to my friend with the new baby. Time to go.

Hope you are all enjoying this gloomy day. Sometimes they're kind of nice, don't ya think?

Monday already!?! We had a nice weekend. RJ was going to take Henry up to see his Grandma who just had surgery, but decided he was too nervous to leave me home alone. Instead we had a nice, lazy Saturday that ended in a nice big trip to Target to stock up on all the newborn necessities. I had an appt on Friday and the head is getting lower and I'm at a 2! Again, I know I could be like this for a couple of more weeks, but please understand that it took about the first 12-15 hours of contractions to get to a 2 with Henry. So needless to say, this makes me very happy!!
Only 8 to go. :)

I've come painfully close to selling the same rug 4 times on Craigslist. I'm really hoping the guy coming tonight actually works out. Seriously.

I'm looking forward to a night out with some girlfriends tonight. It sounds so nice right now.....

I'm off to get some things done while Henry naps. So much left to do before baby!

Spring Haircut Time

I never manage to get my pictures in the right order. Here's the traumatized after-shot. Sad boy. Short hair.

The before hyper picture. This boy's got one head full of hair.

Baby Audrey. It was so fun to go to the hospital to visit this sweet little girl! It was a nice visit and made me even more excited to meet our little girl. I can't wait.

Mommy and baby. So sweet.
Hope you all enjoyed this beautiful weather! We didn't make it to a park today, but played in the porch and on the front steps with bubbles. It was lovely.

My friend Kristin had a GIRL! It will be so fun to have a playmate so close in age with ours!!
She was huge....9lbs 4 oz. Yikes. But it went really well and Kristin is doing great. Her name is Audrey. Beautiful.

Tired

I had a good time at the mall today walking with some friends. I did good at resisting buying stuff, but there wasn't too much to tempt me so that makes it real easy. I did get a gift for a friend who is being induced as we speak. She started at 7:00 and the anticipation is killing me!

My pregnancy insomnia is getting ridiculous. I know I'm not the first to deal with it, so complaining about it gets old, but I'm tired. I only slept from 12:30-3:30 last night and was finally able to get back to sleep at 6 and then Henry was up at 7:00. I've started doing something a bit naughty the last couple of days....letting Henry watch tv in our bed when he wakes up so I can get some more sleep. I don't get much because every 10 minutes he lifts the pillow off of my head to tell me hello or ask where George or Clifford went, but it helps. And I'm sure we've all done this a time or two, right!?!

Craigslist. I love you. I hate you. I love you when I think I've "sold" 5 things in no time, but then I hate you when it keeps falling through or meeting up with someone is a major email-tag. Overall, I do love you. It's been a successful,though annoying, week with you!

Pacifier. The second night without it there were no tears or crying at all! The first nap without was a bit horrific. Talking and playing the 1st half hour (great!) screaming bloody murder the 2nd half hour, but finally fell asleep. Today, he fell asleep on the way home from the mall and now won't go back to sleep, but he's just talking so I'm leaving him in there so I can rest. Cuz like I said....I'm tired.

More exciting posts to come. Eventually. Maybe even with pictures. Just sounds like too much work right now.

Happy Wednesday everyone!

Pacifier

Well, it took 45 minutes of crying/begging, but that was it and he slept til morning and woke up really happy. Hopefully a couple of naps and one more bedtime and it will be done. Wasn't too bad!

You know how you let some things go for a long time even though you know it's not a good thing?



Henry is trying to fall asleep without his nigh-night (pacifier). We should have given it up long ago, but he just used it to sleep for the last 6 months and just adores it.



Hopefully it doesn't take too much crying....poor little dude. I feel bad that it's my fault for him being a pacifier-addict and it's really sad when he's in there crying "nigh-night PLEASE."
