Josie Pictures

I figure it's been a while since I've posted pictures of the kids so here's Josie's very own post.

She was more interested in sleeping than playing with her friend

If you look closely you can see one of her eyes is turning green

Peter started pre-school on August 14th. I don't think he really knew what it was all about at first but he was excited to wear his new Phineas and Ferb backpack. He loves going to school. It's amazing some of the differences I've noticed in him after just 3 weeks of going. It has definitely helped improve his speech and also his behavior at church. Last Sunday he said in a very excited voice, "Let's go to primary!" Which is a big thing because earlier this year I had to sit with him in primary to help him behave.

Pregnancy Update

Just one month from today is my due date and I finally got around to taking a belly shot for this pregnancy and thought it would be fun to compare the pictures from previous pregnancies. Apparently I'm required to have short hair while pregnant although I'm about ready to chop it again with this heat. I like the middle picture the best. We still have not decided on a name and I personally think naming a boy is harder than naming a girl. Hopefully we'll come up with something soon.

A funny side note if you look at the pictures you can tell what I painted that pregnancy. Peter = nothing, Josie = kitchen & living room, this baby = our bedroom.

I must say that being pregnant in the summer seriously stinks, especially here in AZ. It's been a fairly wet and humid summer and I have an issue keeping dry. I am not normally a sweaty person but now I wake up sweaty, in addition to drooling. And my hair and face seem to be wet all the time. The pool, when I have the energy, is really a life saver. We went today and I could barely keep my swimsuit covering my belly. When it was time to get out of the water I seriously felt like I gained 20 pounds.

I have seriously been craving popsicles these past few months, I couldn't even tell you how many I've actually eaten mostly because it's almost never just one at a time or even once a day. I suppose there are worse things to crave than popsicles.

It's strange that this pregnancy has kicked my butt more than my previous ones. My doctor just tells me that I'm older than I was last time and that's just part of life. I didn't really have a super energy filled second trimester and it may just be a coincidence but it seems like my social life and the kids social life have basically disappeared. I feel like I should organize more play dates for Josie and Peter and then I think that I don't really have the energy for that and don't. The only reason I managed to get our bedroom painted is because I asked my friend Amanda to pick a day and come help, I had had the paint for a couple months by the time I asked her. Other than being tired I've had a pretty low key pregnancy, which is great because it means I'm right on track for having my second VBA2C. I'm really hoping that this labor and delivery go as smoothly as Josie's did. It would be so much easier to plan if I knew when my body will decide to go into labor. I had an ultrasound a couple weeks ago and it was determined that my little baby boy is measuring a week ahead of schedule, I'm hoping that means he's going to be an August baby. *Fingers crossed*
