March

Can you believe tomorrow is March...CRAZY!!!

That means I am having a baby this month.  Did you even know I was pregnant?  Don't worry if you didn't. I have forgotten at times.  Tyler has been more than a handful since we got back from the hospital so I have put having a baby on emotional hold trying to resolve his issues.

I think I am almost at the point of realizing that I can do it.  Newborns sleep a ton and never argue.  They conveniently fit in a little pouch and will cuddle all day long.  Not looking forward to getting up at night and a ton of diaper changes.  But I am going to have pants that don't sag off my butt in a couple of weeks and am super duper excited about the summer.  Hoping Kira will be a wonderful big sister and a new baby will bring so much love into our home.  I can get my kidney stones crushed and won't have chronic pain.  So it is all going to work out.

I am almost certain it is a little boy.  I have not felt sick like I was with Kira.  I would be shocked if it was a girl but laugh that I thought Tyler and Carl were girls and they were boys. We shall see if I am right.  Excited either way.  Hoping we get a calm child.  I know it isn't in our genes and I am probably kidding myself, but miracles can happen right?  I will probably get an epidural but always scared of being paralyzed so we shall see.  Not sold on any names, but haven't put much thought into it either.  I think we'll choose a name when we see the baby.

I haven't been to the doctors in about two months which is horrible. I need to make an appt.  I need to find a couple of outfits to get us through the first week.  I think I gave most of my boy things away, but I am sure I can find something that will do. I have a bassinet at my parents that we never got rid of.  Need to get some newborn diapers and my swing back from a friend.  Need to find my baby bjorn.  And that's it.  I will probably get around to it in a couple of weeks.  It really is amazing how little you really need.  I remember getting all of this stuff for Scott and with each child you realize what you don't need.  It is a great feeling


So here's to march...Getting through Tyler's surgery that we are hoping will make him so much happier and a new baby. I need to have Danny take a picture of me.  I don't think I have any.

Heidi,
As soon as we know boy or girl, I will have the basics ready for our precious little one...diapers, clothes and whatever else is needed! You just try to relax a little over the next few weeks - even if it's for an hour here and there...

Oh, Heidi. If we could all be more like you! You really are amazing - this new addition to your family is one lucky little baby!

And fingers are crossed he/she is calm for you! :)

Heidi- you are exactly righty...you can do it! If anyone can handle a huge plate, it's you. Can't wait to meet the new little one. I'm a little jealous that you're almost done. Lets get together soon.

Danny's Birthday

We went to Monterey again for Danny's birthday and lucked out with amazing weather.  Blake was pretty difficult last time we went so Gle...
