Isaac is about 14 1/2 months old. He is quite the talker except of course none of it makes sense. He does try to copy the sounds of words we say. He can say oh boy pretty good which is super cute!
He has tooth number 5 poked through and 1 or 2 more in the process. He sleeps fairly well at night but we still have bad nights too. We took the pacifier away during naps but after a few weeks I realized his second nap so not long enough so we gave him it back for only his second nap and he now sleeps longer! :)
He now lately won't eat a whole bunch so that's been really frustrating for me because I already worry that I'm not feeding him good enough as a mother.
He LOVES Legos and will bring me the tv remote as if to say okay mom it's tv time lol he is learning how things work by watching daddy and I so that's fun to watch.
He has had a lot of whiny moments lately which have been hard for me.
Being pregnant again I rely SO much on Isaac getting two naps a day which he still desperately needs both by his crankiness. So days when he fights naps can be very hard on me emotionally. Jackson moves around quite a bit but the only pregnancy symptom I really have is being tired most of the time.
A few days ago the sister missionaries asked me to go visit a in active couple with them. So I went and one thing that was said was something I needed to hear. Let me first start off with saying to get through a day I tell myself that God wouldn't of blessed me with two kids so close together unless he knew I could handle it. By saying that I hope it gives me strength but it doesn't always on hard days.
But a sister brought this up and said I actually believe God gives us a little more then we can handle so that we will come to Him for help because we can't get through life without him. BOOM! Basically that was a wake up call that I really hadn't asked much for His help by praying daily or things like that and somedays I really need that help to get through the day.
Let me also add that I am very grateful and blessed to have soon to be two healthy boys but somedays are emotionally very hard for me but I love them both very much.
On a side note I've gotten rid of all my skirts so I'm done with Lularoe which is a big weight off my shoulders at the moment.
It's been great having spencer off school for this summer semester. He's been able to help with Isaac a little more and make our yard even more beautiful! I can't wait for next summer when all our fruit trees are blossoming! Cherry, peach, and apple! And then our bushes of blueberries, raspberries, and strawberries! And grapes! Yummy!
There is only a few items needed for when Jackson comes since we don't really need to buy clothes.
The list is:
Bumbo (I have a tray for one but that's it but don't need until maybe he is 3 months old anyways)
Swing (Isaac didn't care for them so want to test Jackson in one of my moms first before I purchase one)
Pacifiers (advent was my favorite brand but Isaac took pretty much any kind)
Diaper bag (one that's big enough for two sets of cloth diapers and two kids, there is own from this place called 31 that I plan to get but spencer said I should wait tell it gets closer but it's on my list so I don't forget)
Moby wrap would be nice but I do have a few other okay holders so probably won't get one
That's all except for little things for me for the hospital and afterwards
I'm pretty much prepared just need to do a few things. I'm 26 weeks pregnant so I still have time. We are down to double digits left until the due date, that's crazy!
On a side note my mother is getting filled with more grandsons lol
Mallorie my sister in law is due in September with a boy, Cruz
I'm due in November with a due, Jackson
Stephanie my sister is due at the end of January with a boy, Ellis
So that will be 6 grandsons and 1 granddaughter in total on the Nielsen side lol
