Week 30! Almost Done!



Greetings!

This week I have my 30 week checkup - the appointments have started being twice a month now. Time sure does fly! At my last checkup we did the glucose test and I did fine. Also I wasn't anemic this time so no extra Iron pills for me. Yay! Maybe I won't have such a hard fall after Baby Buzz is born.

I'm not sure we are quite as prepared as we were last time by now. Here's the post from our Jack pregnancy and look how neat and organized everything is! No photos are being released of baby's room at this time...


Well, we have all the stuff, it's just not really put where it goes yet! Clothes to wash, furniture to move back to our master bedroom, etc. Also we need to rearrange our car-seats so they both fit in the car one of these days (hopefully...)

Jack has taken to calling him Baby Buzz. It makes sense if you knew that Buzz Lightyear is his Favorite (tied with Spiderman). So far he seems excited but anyone who has been an older sibling (and remembers it) will know that it's a bit different after the new baby doesn't leave. You get over it, and it ends up being great but it's a big transition. Hershey's bars, or some other consolation prize when baby is brought home goes a LONG way. Trust me!

Other than that, since I know some of you are asking, we have narrowed down a name list to a few. Nothing like waiting until the last minute! Jack has his own choices, but they may or may not be on our list. I think his favorite is still Enzo. Oh, and it is NOT Jack or John. Maybe that hint will help you as well. And our list is actually a bit different from our last go around, with new and exciting names, like D'Artagnan.

But that's all the hint you're getting. So you'll just have to wait until August...like we are.

Jack has become quite the helper. He has two titles, "Helper" and "Getter". When he gets stuff from the pantry, or his closet, he's the "Getter". It's nice having someone get the dishes for me from the bottom rack now that I can't bend over! He's helping vacuum since we have a small had vac, but he also still can make a mess.


Until next time...

    I think you'll find yourself feeling more relaxed the second time around. What used to seem important doesn't seem so important when you have two little ones. Loving them takes up all your time!

    I'm excited to see Baby Buzz pictures and to hear the funny stories of Jack and Buzz!

Angel or Devil?

Kids. They are too funny. I had to share this one with all of you. We went to Mass today and tried to sit inside for once. Everything was great, until Jack noticed the missal in the pew had these nice orange and yellow squares or something in the illustration on the cover. He was conviced they were dominoes, but that is a word he struggles to say. So, at an especially quiet time in the Mass he looks at me and says, "damn-yous! damn-yous!" We both had a mix of embarassment and laughter. Only out of the mouth of a 2 year old! We went to the back of the church soon after that. :)

Happy Birthday Jack

Here are some photos from Jack's 2nd birthday day, and party. He was so excited he was telling everyone happy birthday! We 'filled' his room with balloons while he was sleeping. He was so excited to wake up to balloons! Jack wanted to pose with his new favorite toy - Buzz! They are still usually only separated at nighttime (too tempting to make noise all night). Oh, and that is his 'camera' smile. He uses it whenever he sees the lens pointed at him. So cheesy! Blowing out the candles on his Spiderman cake. Yes, all the other stuff is Thomas the Train. He likes what he likes. Jack wasn't about to let Emerson go home without a hug. It was a hug, not an attack. Promise!

Easter

Easter has come and gone, but finally I have some photos uploaded! We had a nice time and enjoyed spending time with Grandma and Grandpa C, Antie and Uncle John Tressell , and Uncle Robert, Aunt Natalie, and Emerson. Jack really enjoyed hunting for eggs (for a few days he asked us to hide them again so he could find them), but was a bit disappointed when they no longer had animal cracker in them. Anyway better late than never. I'll put all the photos on Flickr . :) Painting Eggs They actually sat still for three seconds! Family Photo - Easter 2011 Until next time...
