He is so adorable =] They do grow up fast which you hear probably all the time.
There are times where I do realize I think he should "know better" when really he still is a baby and doesn't always understand things still. So sometimes I have to step back and remind myself he isn't a big kid just yet.
He has 6 teeth ALL the way in and 2 others half way in, each set are coming in the right order so that's great! He's had a few bumps and bruises lately, he always manages to find the corner of walls haha
We went to California for about a week and he did SO well, I was very proud of him! It made taking care of him mostly by myself easier.
Isaac is in that stage where if he wants something he points at it and goes "uh uh uh" Basically whining for it. And if you say no he THROWS a fit! It's been a fun stage....not!
We don't give him lots of treats but when he would eat a meal really well I would give him a small chocolate or something well now we've kind of taken that away because he knows where the treats are and begs for them WAY too much.
He had a small cold, which I think is already now over and it wasn't too bad so we survived.
Every once in awhile he will sleep from like 8-8 but lately he's been waking up a few times for his pacifier or his "puppy" blanket. I'm thinking if I had a netting put up that wouldn't happen anymore but I just keep forgetting to buy one.
We still have to constantly tell him to not put things in his mouth and we give him a few warnings and then take it away if he still does it.
He still LOVES going outside and it's cooler out (FALL how I love you!) which is nice because we can stay out a little longer and not get too hot or too cold.
I introduced him to a baby and he seemed to like her, the only problem was he wanted to take her pacifier so that might be a issue when Jackson comes lol
Other then that he didn't mind the crying but the baby didn't stay all day every day so that will be the challenge.
He recognizes family in pictures so when we were in California he saw a picture of daddy on Grandma's wall and got super upset because he missed daddy and wanted him there.
He still HATES getting his diaper changed but LOVES bath time.
He sure gets BURSTS of energy lately which is so fun, basically we laugh at him a lot.
Oh and still gets 2 naps MOST days just depends on if something throws his schedule off.
But I love him to pieces and I think he is going to be a great big brother!
Jackson 33 weeks
I keep getting closer and closer to the due date but it still seems forever away sometimes.
We are 100% ready for him, My bag is 75% packed (so enough that its pretty much ready)
We toured the hospital, we pre registered and pre paid for everything. We have all the items we NEED, still a few I would LIKE but aren't necessary.
Weight: 130 (gained 18 lbs)
I feel my thighs are fatter this time around but maybe I could be wrong
I feel I have more stretch marks but maybe my old ones are just more stretched out now then they were with Isaac.
I'm pretty sure i'm a lot bigger belly wise then I was with Isaac.
About a week or two ago I started getting that pain under my right breast like I did with Isaac only I got it sooner with Isaac so I am thankfully I haven't had to deal with it this time as long.
I have RLS still on and off. My belly has now started to itch again, never a fun stage of pregnancy.
His heartbeat is around 130-140 bpm
Everything is measuring perfect, and his head is down and in the right spot.
Lately he has been moving like CRAZY especially at night.
I'm not having a hard time sleeping which has been really frustrating, i dont think I had that issue with Isaac. But i'm so close to the end I think I can bare with it for these last 7 weeks or so.
I have felt a few braxton hicks here and there, never had too many with Isaac.
My friends are throwing me a "Baby Sprinkle" which is so sweet of them, i'm pretty excited to have some girl time and celebrate Jackson.
I am total fine for him to come whenever but preferably after October 12th because I have commitments up until that day.
I am a little nervous about doing this all over again SO soon but apparently he is meant to be in our family and I couldn't be happier to have another sweet baby to love and cuddle.
It will be pretty tough especially since i'm not sure what time of personality he will have but praying it's like Isaac's or better =]
And I will be trying out Paragard for my birth control which I hope goes well....all birth controls have so many side effects
Our Guesses: (first guess is mine and second guess is spencer's)
Arrival date- November 16th & November 10th
Labor length- 8 hours & 9.5 hours
Weight- 7.5 lbs & 8 lbs
Hair- brown & red
Eyes- brown & blue
Length- 21 inches & 20 inches
I'm hoping he has a birth mark too just cuz birth marks are so cute.
Other:
We got a new fridge...yay!! So now I have ice for my water which if you know me I love cold water!
Spencer and his dad also made this cat box thing for the cats litter box so that it would leave less litter on the bathroom floor. So far the cats love it and I love it.
September 8th I got another cute nephew: Cruz, son of Jon & Mallorie.... haven't met him yet, hopefully I will tomorrow.
I've been doing a little better at keeping a few things cleaner in the house. But there are always good and bad days. lol
The primary program is on the 12th, can't wait for that to be over with then we get a little break from teaching the kids new songs.
Isaac and my costumes are ready to go for Halloween, which is almost here yay!
I'm keeping up on Isaac & Jackson's Life binders... I just LOVE the idea of it and its working out fairly well.
I am almost saved up for a desktop computer which is going to be SO nice! It's a lot better then a laptop when it comes to having a family. And my laptop is slowly dying.
I've taken a few people's pictures for maternity and 3 month old pictures and soon to do some wedding family pictures. And the first two have turned out pretty good, i'm proud of myself =]
I'm constantly trying to do better with spending money.
Maternity pictures are on the 11th, and i'm really excited, cant wait to see how they turn out.
Spencer and I are looking in to using Trac type phones instead of being on a phone plan which would save us quite a bit of money in the long run. I'm home with wifi 90% of the time so I really don't need much of a data plan. And these companies have nice phones too not just small dinky phones.
32 weeks prego
And this ADORABLE blue eyed boy =]
