Can't believe it is already the middle of July....time s flying by, yet moving at a snail's pace. Things have been pretty uneventful lately, which is a good thing for the most part. Brian has 3 weeks of summer school left, which means I won't have to deal with the F-bomb being dropped incessantly when he studies for math. Jack is becoming a big boy which makes me happy and sad. He is absolutely hilarious and is still as independent as can be. He will occasionally hold our hand and can't get enough of being outdoors. He is into hitting the dogs which he thinks is a game - great thing we have patient and gentle pups.....any suggestions on how to handle this??? He is too young for a time out and when we say NO!, he laughs at us. He can also be loving to the dogs, it's just when he get riled up. One day he'll love a certain food, the next day he hates it. He still LOVES lights! I think he would freak if he saw Disneyland's Mainstreet Electrical Parade! One day, I was watching Chloe squirm in my belly and I had lifted my shirt up, exposing my tummy. Jack became fascinated with my once inny, now outy belly button. Then I showed him his and now the kid can't stop trying to lift my shirt to poke my belly button and randomly throughout the day, he will lift up his shirt and show you his. Gosh, I love our boy!!! It is so awesome seeing him grow up!
The pregnancy is going well and the bed rest is paying off....still dilated to 1.5cm and it's looking like we'll have a full-term baby :) Even if she did come now, she will do well with a brief stay in the NICU so we are resting much easier. Hospital bag is good to go and I have been nesting as gently as possible so pretty much everything is set up for when our princess comes home! Just a few little things to get and we are set! It's funny but I'm more excited than nervous. Can't wait to know what our princess looks like and to introduce her to her big brother. Jack is going to be a big brother!!! I'm going to be a mommy of 2! OMG!!! How cool is that?! I feel absolutely enormous right now and getting more uncomfortable by the minute but I wouldn't trade it for anything. I am blessed and so thankful to be a mommy - it's the most fulfilling and fantastic job in the world. I'll keep you all posted as the pregnancy progresses.....
Jack in the box!
34 weeks!
