BABY#2 guessing baby pool

Win a $10 starbucks card if you get the closest guess!

ever have the urge...

just cleaned out the fridge...
instead of cleaning out all the nasty tupperware I have this burning urge to simplify and just through everything in the garbage. That would make my sink full of dishes disappear might fast!
I'll be mature and go clean everything (bleck, barf, gag) ha ha.
Just one of those days were it would be easy to take the easy way out and not the sensible way....

How is my 15 month old traveling at super speed. When she takes something and runs I look at her in desperation knowing that even if I was to run I could not catch her. How sad is that.

32 days. I realized yesterday when my husband pointed it out that I actually don't believe I will go that 'long' I believe I will be early. His words were...'you're going to be really disappointed if you actually make it to your due date and you are going to be super miserable if you go late aren't you...' It's true he is 100% correct. There is just something inside of me that believes that I will go early.

I had Audrey on her due date...it might be cute to have this one on its due date...BUT really...I want to have this munchkin EARLY! There are many days I way up and say 'today would be a good day' and I know that is bad because I am still 32 days away. I have big babies though so chances are this baby is already over 8lbs ha ha.

This week we have goals;
finish last coat of paint on Audreys big girl furniture
put together the headboard for audreys big girl bed
buy new 'pulls' for the drawers in audreys big girl bed
finish audreys big girl quilt (pressure my mom into 'hurrying up')
NAME OUR CHILD...gasp...we just need to get it done!

Those were also all the same goals we had last week and we didn't even check one single thing off..shoot! This is the week...this is the week!

I think my body is preparing me for the newborn stage because man oh man I have been up sick so many nights in a row. Its deeply discouraging. I am so ready to push this baby out and stop the 'hurling'. Sometimes I swear the newborn stage is easier then the pregnant stage.

My new favorite activity is judging those secretly while they try and 'freak me out' about having kids close together and how different two is. I am not quite sure what the point is. Its not like they could freak me out enough to change my mind...hello...past the point of return upon conception.

While they go on and on I secretly think bad things about them, its true I do and I don't feel bad. I smile and nod not because I value what they are saying but because I am having my own private conversation in my head that they aren't invited to join. I have noticed that the people that express there concern almost always have really bad shoes. Whats with that. Check it out next time someone is frustrating you ...look down. I bet they have bad shoes. I'm just saying.

New words in our house
Pee-well usually when she says pee she has found out I am in the bathroom and she is throwing her potty seat at me yelling 'pee'...not my favorite word. Note to self...always lock bathroom doors...
Poop (When she poops she says 'poop' runs to were her diapers are and lays on the floor, legs up...yup she for sure knows what that means) She then says 'Yuck' ha ha.
Beep
Nose (sounds like 'ose') we know that she is saying nose because she is usually ramming her finger up one of our noses or her own
Dip She loves to dip EVERYTHING at dinner!

Phrases Brent and I are often caught saying
'Be gentle with mommy' apparently my new baby belly is a jungle gym and SO fun!
'Sit in your chair' getting ready for time outs in her time out chair
'Be nice to Prada (our dog)'
'Don't spit' apparently spitting is hilarious to a one year old
'Sheena don't laugh' I admit it when she does something we shouldn't encourage I am usually the first one to laugh
'Listen to daddy'
'Listen to mommy'


One incredible thing is Audrey is doing a FANTASTIC job at learning how to clean up and put things away. What a dream. I am having a hard time bending lately (pregnant+my crazy back problems=bending is a nightmare). I am hoping this is a skill that sticks around. She puts her small toys in her small toy bin, her legos in the lego bin, she stacks the book (putting them in the shelf properly is still to hard), I'm so proud (sniff sniff)

34 days...coming close!
So this little baby is still nameless. Loved but nameless.
We will decide. We will figure it out!

I am really starting to feel large. I am really starting to feel swollen. I am really starting to feel like I want this baby out. I know I know 34 days is still to early. I am just saying that I am ready.

Camping while pregnant,
I owe my life to a certain ziploc tupperware
A tupperware that was sacrificed
A tupperware that did not make it home
There was an outhouse
I don't know how I would have 'squatted' this pregnant
I chose not to try
Outhouses are scary enough when you aren't pregnant
Thank you ziploc tupperware
You saved me
I am so glad you were there to be sacrificed.
You will be remembered, always.

We went camping with our churches young families group and had a blast. Sadly we got rained out. It went from beautiful sunny weather to a monsoon downpour! We went home early but had such a great time with all the other young couples and there kids. So great being with other people in the same stage of life! It's just so refreshing talking about all the things that are relevant to you (silly kid moments, bowel movements, diapers, bad parent moments and all the stuff that makes parenting what it is the GOOD, the BAD, and the CRAZY!) Sometimes with our single or married without kids friends I feel lost because I can't remember how to relate. So every once and awhile it just feels glorious to not have to worry about boring someone about talking about your kids or any of that kind of stuff. What a great time we had!

'There was lots of wagon riding'

Hope you all had a great weekend!

So today we are going to church and then right after church while Audrey naps we are packing everything up and going camping. We are going with our churches young families group! Should be fun, the forecast has rain so I'm a little nervous. Also being so close to my due date I feel like I am a little hardcore ha ha.

So today is a new days.
There will be no playing in poo
There will be no playing in lipstick
However cute and memorable those moments were we will not be reliving them...at least anytime soon ha ha.
I'm good with dirt...we are going camping.
Dirt is totally washable.
Dirt is not disgusting.
Heck I'll play in dirt with Audrey!

Hoping and praying for a good trip.
I know last week I was blogging about her peeing on the potty. I thought I would post a picture! She is quite proud every single time!
36 days, we are good to go! I am ready for two little monkeys. (I think!)
