Pregnancy Update

As usual I've been MIA.  Life has been fairly hectic and I have been utterly exhausted.  Blog has had to drop by the wayside a bit. 

Squishy has swim four days a week at 8am, I watch a friend's 6 month old four days a week, and I pick up big kids from school five days a week.  Throw that in with being 17 and a half weeks pregnant and I am exhausted.  I have not slept past 7am in over a month and I don't think I've slept through the night in at least that long.  I need to be up by 7 for one reason or another every. single. day.

It's Official x2!

We are officially expecting baby #2 (aka Baby Burrito).  We've known for about six weeks now and I'll be ten weeks this Wednesday.  We ultimately decided to announce a little bit earlier with this one after a viability scare.  I decided that I would rather have the comfort of my family and friends than deal with any loss on my own.  Thankfully though everything is going great so far and it looks like we'll have another member of the family joining us around mid-April.  Meaning... we will very briefly have two under two.

All of this has come at the perfect time considering hubby just got a new job too.  With Amazon!  We still get to live in the same area and our income is going up by roughly 45% so we are feeling very thankful and blessed right now.  He'll start in October.

Now that things are settling down for us again I hope to have more time for posting!

Kids are So Honest

Squishy is 15 months today and we didn't have much to do so we went to the parks.

Shortly after we got there another mama showed up with a little guy who was probably about 3 and another boy who was probably a few months younger than Squishy.

Squishy's in a really friendly phase and she likes to say "HI!" and wave to everyone.

We were playing near the smaller kid structure and the 3 year old came over, I'll call him 3, and Squishy said Hi!

3 played around us for awhile and then had his mama put him in a swing next to his brother and she was pushing both the kids. 

This was their conversation:
3: Last push mama.  I want to go play with that beautiful baby over there. (I swear he said that).
Mom: Okay.
3:  She's a nice baby.  She said Hi to me.
3 (Looking at his baby brother):  He's not a nice baby!
Mom (trying not to laugh): Why do you say that?
3: Because he BITES!

The mom was trying so hard not to laugh and so was I.  It was pretty priceless.

Happy 15 months Squishy!  Three year old boys think you're nice and beautiful :)

Trying

For the record: I debated as to whether or not I wanted to make this post.  I hemmed I hawed, but ultimately I decided I wanted to.  If only so that those close to me and who read this know why I'm a little preoccupied over the next few weeks or months (hopefully weeks).  Friends and family are not allowed to ask how this is coming along.  I'll announce when I see fit :)

We are officially trying for #2.

We decided to start about a week ago, just in time for this month.  We'll try for my July-September cycles and if it doesn't happen then we will wait until January.  Mainly because it's crazy hot here in the summer and I have no desire to be hugely pregnant in the summer and also we're planning around a family vacation that takes place in July.

Too Smart for Her Britches

Squishy is 14 months now and she's already too smart for her britches.  I've worked with kids for a long time.  I taught two year olds for a good portion of that time.  I'm used to sneaky kiddos.  I'm used to grumpy kiddos.  But heaven help me, I didn't know it could start so soon.  I have two quick stories to share (quick post before bed), that I think are hilarious and make me wonder what the teenage years will be like.

Gratuitous cake picture of my silly girl

1. Hubby has some little ninja toys he's had since he was in elementary school.  A few years back when I helped him clean his mom's house we rediscovered them and they came home with us.  For a long time they say on his desk at work but when he changed offices they found their way home and into some drawers that sit next to our computer desk. Squishy discovered them a few weeks ago but we've discouraged her playing with them as she shouldn't be going through the drawers.

How to Make a Diaper Wreath/I'm Back

I finally have a desktop again which means I can blog again!  I guess I could have blogged from my phone but that would have been silly and lame and for some reason my phone is kooky and I can never scroll on posts.  So, here I am.

And I come baring a cute tutorial.  I made this diaper wreath for a friend's baby shower back in April and I've been dying to share it with you but no computer + nowhere to put pictures the pictures I took = no tutorial until now.

The diaper wreath!

Sad Day

I knew this day was coming but it's still sad.  My laptop has officially died.  Im praying we can get some of my more important files off of it but we shall see. So posting may be sporadic for a bit until I can buy a new computer  I'll still be around though.
