A Beautiful Life: September 2014

Wow! How the time passes quickly! I've had "update blog" on my to do list for several months now. As you can see, I'm finally getting around to it! Lets start in April. In April I started to feel a little moody, and my face was breaking out like crazy. I was like whats going on? Am I pregnant? Well low and behold, I was! It took me a day or so to get the idea in my head as excitement and after that, we have been over joyed! Sickness lasted much longer this time…till about 16 weeks. I wasn't sure when it would end. Andrew and I went to Captiva Island in June for an "adults only" get away! It was so nice to get away and sleep, but I was still feeling nauseous. Andrew was very gracious, and he didn't mind just laying around! In July, we went to California to visit! We had the best trip! We went to the beach and played in the sand every day! It was hot there too; I couldn't escape the heat this summer! What a fantastic trip we had. G loves going to Cali! We also started potty training in July! Wow, now that is a fun treat for parents! It's like having a puppy. Except, more wet underware, bed sheets, and the occasional wet floor and tennis shoes! What a fun time! Now he is doing great but it sure is a lot tougher than I thought it would be. Three days? Whats that about, I think we are still working on it two months later! LOL! A work in progress, but he is such a champ! He had a lot of changes with a new "big boy" room and getting rid of diapers. Well, enough said! He did awesome though!
School started back in August, with more heat…at least I could be inside! Off to a running start and we are still running! School has been very busy this year and I'm wiped out! Being pregnant the second time around, working full time and running after a two and a half year old is nothing but exhausting. I've just decided to get in the bed much earlier because now not only do I wake up all night, G has decided that between 5:30-5:50 is his new wake up time. How glorious! :) LOL! I guess he is just preparing me for the lack of sleep I'll be getting with his new little sister!
He is SO excited about having a little sister! I hope he is as sweet as he is excited when she arrives! He will lean his head on my tummy while we read at night and ask, "What's the baby doing?" I usually reply with sleeping, but sometimes I'll tell him he can feel her squirming around. He'll reply, "I think she's sleeping." Ok thats what she's doing honey!
She will be here around Christmas time, hopefully before! The hospital won't let you schedule out too far in advance for a c-section. So I'll know in like five more weeks what her official due date will be! I have a lot to do between then and now so its all good! Being so busy has made the time go by quickly which is good, since we are approaching the lingering last months! Come on already!!
Andrew has been so helpful and willing to take on more than usual to let me rest! Its been quite nice, can this last after the baby too?

Well onto the holidays we come! G is going to be a firefighter for Halloween and is so excited! He has a megaphone, jacket, hat, and badge! Cutest fireman I've ever seen! :) Love to all and will update again soon!
