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!

4th of July and Other Buzz News

Greetings to all! I have finally had time to upload some more photos for Flickr and the blog and can keep you up to date on the Buzz around our water cooler, so to speak. :-) We've had a busy 2 months! Nonie and Papa Sudar came to visit for a few weeks at the end of June and through the 4th of July. We all had a good time. We spent a few days down in Walsenburg with most of the Tressells which Jack really enjoyed. And we really enjoyed the small break from constantly watching Jack! Thanks everyone!! Catch Papa! Bubbles in Walsenburg Cousins Making Cookies! Since we've been back we have been working on getting all the stuff in our garage either back into the basement, into the trash, or ready for donation. Our goal is simple: both cars inside by winter. Hopefully we can make it happen! So far things are going pretty well with Baby Buzz. We went to the doctor's last week for an ultrasound because I was measuring small (just like last time). This time I guess Buzz is a li...

New Ride!

Well, it's no Mustang, but it is black! What we got was a 2009 Pontiac Vibe. At any rate, we both like it. It was a reasonable price for a smaller sized family-with-lots-of-stuff car. It served the purpose of "ease of child seat access" and "can load many groceries plus a dog" into the back.  (You should have seen us try to get the rocking chair into the Mustang.)  It also serves the gas economy purpose (31/28 advertised) and was not a big SUV, or a minivan. I have never been fond of driving huge cars or trucks! It looks like a five door hatchback to us, but I guess it is technically listed as a "wagon." Some things go full circle, eh Mom?  Maybe a bit cooler than the Corona Wagon we drove in Texas, or whatever it was called.  Sorry the photo isn't super great, it's raining and cold so I pretty much didn't want to go out of the garage.  There are some more photos on our Flickr account (see link to right "other photos...")   It act...

I'm Gonna Have To Get a Female Cat. . .

Today was our 20 week ultrasound and appointment! Everything is going really well. Baby looks to be about 9 oz in weight and has a good heartbeat of about 132 bpm. But enough stalling! It appears I remain outnumbered in our home now - 3 boys to 1 girl (5:1 if you count our feline friends!). That's right folks, another boy! How many of you were right??? We were able to get a nice "up from the bottom" shot that confirmed the gender. We also took a nice shot of his foot, and his profile. Actually, I think I was in there for 45 minutes and she took about 50 shots of various organs and body parts. We got the two thumb's up from the doctor that he's looking great. I also got some medicine to try if my nausea continues to be a burden. Yes, just today I was feeling sick again. *sigh* Just for comparison I looked up some of the posts from this time with Jack: Nov 2008 Some things are the same: I still can't eat fruit without feeling sick, and I'm dropping thing...
