Ready for baby M!

My sweet C and I went and spent the day with our newest addition yesterday. It was so interesting to see how C reacts. She was there for every waking moment that little D had. She helped with diaper changes, patting the baby to sleep, and making sure she had the right blanket and pacifier! She even let people know if they had held the baby to long and needed to pass her along! I have a feeling M is really going to be her baby. As of now, she doesn't share my growing belly to well with her daddy when it comes to feeling M and giving him kisses. Let's just hope she can handle sharing full time when M comes.

Nesting?!?

For those who know me, cleaning is not my thing. I usually do just enough to get by. I get very frustrated by the other two people who live in this house and don't care to help even keep the house straight, much less clean!

As of last week I must be nesting. I don't know when that is actually supposed to happen, but I think it has started here. Last week I washed, folded, and put away all of M's things both new and old. I cleaned out his closet and have finally chosen to give away most of C's old clothes I kept just in case we had another girl. Thankfully my sister in law took care of that with my new niece so I was glad to give the clothes to her! Hopefully she puts them to good use!

This weekend I cleaned out another storage area, cleaned the laundry room, baked a cake, arranged flowers, and continued with laundry! I feel like I have accomplished something until I go to sit down for a minute and see what my loved ones have already left me!

Yesterday was a fantastic day because I became an aunt! C is too excited about being a cousin. She is so glad that it turned out to be a girl! After our visit with a new little baby, C was ready for M to come out RIGHT NOW! Then came more questions that I have been trying to avoid...birth and breastfeeding! I am just not that good at discussing all of that info with a 4 year old. How much does she need to know at this age anyway!

Anyhow, baby and mommy were doing fine and dad was proud as can be!

Happy Father's Day!

Yesterday was a fun, swimming filled day spent with all of the granddad's and the Mike of course. This year I made everyone a shirt with a picture of C and theirselves on it. They came out really cute and seemed to be a big hit. Little miss C was exhausted on the way home after all of that swimming and playing!

Let the Summer begin...

We started the summer with C and her daddy going for a paddle. I have been instructed to stay out of lakes and rivers so I opted to stay on land. Not that my boat would turn over, but at this point I don't think I could even fit in my life jacket much less get the paddle wear it needs to be. I might have to break down and try at the end of the summer when we go to the lake though. I am missing the time with my family on the water.


After that we went to an Astro's game. C enjoyed the cotton candy, but could care less about the game. Even so she was tired after the game!

M Update

Last week was another doctors appointment. My sugars are doing well and he is growing like a maniac. M was measuring a week ahead at 2 lbs and 9 oz. I swear he is going to be as tall as his daddy when he comes out. My ribs have no room already!

On another note I will be an aunt by Monday and I can't wait! I am all set and ready to go shopping as soon as I know if I have a neice or nephew. My sweet C is hoping for a little girl cousin. Her daddy is thinking the other way. The countdown begins!

I also have a good friend who is set to have her baby on Monday. Again we will have to wait and see if I need to by pink or blue! Lot's of babies to practice with and look forward to around here!
