Baby #2

It definitely is true what people say about the second child... apparently no one really cares if you are pregnant or bringing a new child into the family. I have tried hard to do everything for baby Drew but I am just so tired and feel terrible and it has been like this the whole time. I do not have his nursery ready at all... like at all. I just have stuff piled up all over the place. I am supposed to be getting his bedding in this week and hopefully I can get everything in place over the weekend. I finally went through and washed all of his stuff and realized he has NO pajamas... that is like the one thing I have to have to bring baby home! It's like diapers, bed, and then pajamas has to be up there in the top 3 I think! Sigh... poor little Drew! And blankets... I seriously had at least 15 PINK blankets that everyone and their momma bought for Dylan, most of them monogrammed, most of them NEVER made it out of the closet... how many blankets does he have?? 3... and one of them was Dylan's from one of her showers that she never used.
People never call or text to see how he is doing or how I am doing. When I go out places, people are rude and are never nice or mention that I am pregnant the way they did when I was pregnant with Dylan. Seriously was at WalMart this week at 9 months pregnant and the cashier took a deep sigh when I got up there and said "how much weight can you even lift?" really?? Why would my groceries sacks be that heavy??
So... what have I been doing this week?? Buying stuff online! Diapers, pajamas, burp cloths, blankets.... I swear I have a package at my door every day. But I am determined everything is going to be in place when he gets here. Only 8 more days to go!

Easter Fun!

Things just get more exciting the older she gets! Of course I spent way too much money on stuff for the Easter basket. 

The Saturday of Easter weekend they had a community wide Easter egg hunt that we decided to go to. We got out the Easter basket and headed up the street. There were so many families there!! They had a nice story time and then took off to get the eggs scattered everywhere... Dylan got 2 eggs and all she kept saying was more eggs? More eggs? Poor girl! So we sure hunted our butts off when we got home. 

They had a photographer there to capture the fun! 

We had a mini breakdown Easter morning where she did not want to wear her pretty dress... But she got into it after a few minutes. 

This is her "I don't wanna wear this" face. 

She cheered up pretty quick! 

Got baby Drew in on some selfie stick fun. Dylan refused to be in the picture. 

The week pretty much consisted of back yard egg hunting. I think she was a fan! 

Spring Break!

We recently had our first Spring Break! No that it is much because we only go to school two days a week but it kept us busy! We did lots of fun things, just the two of us, and missed a lot of naps. We went for ice cream, went to the park, went to the movies at the library. She kept wanting to know when we were going to school to see Miss Carla! 

Morning giggles while doing fun flash cards! 

Ice cream time! 

Fun at the library! 

We watched the Good Dinosaur and she loved it! 

Even fit in a tornado warning where we were told to take cover. So we had fun in the bath tub for a while. 

Got to ride in a fire truck while getting our hair done!! 

The park was fun but super wet... I didn't think that one through

First time in the sand box and of course she just sat on the side to play. 

I think our stay-cation spring break was a success! 

Sweet Baby Kicks!

All is going well with baby B #2. We have finally decided on a name.. Andrew (Drew) but still no middle name. I feel like he is going to be a very big baby. He is giving me fits for sure and making me more miserable by the day. It is hard to stand for very long and I have had a lot of weakness and low blood pressure so this past week I had to have a heart monitor to make sure everything is ok.

All worked out with the results. Which of course I felt fine the day of the test! I haven't gained hardly any weight at all in the last few weeks because eating makes me feel just miserable. So I'm definitely behind on everything. I have 5 weeks to go and no sign of the nursery being completed! Finally had maternity pictures and I can't wait to see how they turned out! But he is definitely doing well. His heart rate is good and he kicks all the time. I'm not sure if he ever sleeps. That should be fun! Here are a few pictures... 

5 weeks left to go! 

Dylan turns 3!

Wow! Can't believe this little girl is 3... Possibly why I have waited so long to update! Ha. 

We had her party at Imagine and invited friends from school. She had so much fun and definitely knew the party was for her!! She is still in this "NO PICTURE" stage so they aren't great...

She got lots of cute gifts and had plenty of icing from her "pancakes"! She crashed hard when we left! 

We tried to make her actual birthday super special too! Daddy bought a giant, like bigger than me, teddy bear he was going to give her for Valentine's Day but it was so big he didn't really have anywhere to hide it so he decided to give it to her for her birthday! I blew up lots of balloons and we surprised her that morning with a balloon party! 

The bear carried chocolate milk with him! 

Daddy also got donuts and we had a donut birthday celebration! 

And then we had a mommy/daughter date to the movies! She stood up the whole time. Ha. Luckily we were basically the only ones there. 

A great celebration overall! 

This little 3 year old can definitely be sweet as sugar or bitter as vinegar but never in between and sometimes a little of both. She loves spaghetti, French toast, her blanket, her baby, the iPad, Mickey Mouse, Dora, hugs from momma, irritating daddy from lack of hugs, naps, chocolate milk, coloring, drawing circles, dinosaurs, Pirates, princesses and mermaids. She can be rough and tumble and sweet and pretty at the same time. 

And we wouldn't trade her for the world!! 

Little Boy Blue

Behind a bit on this post but this child has sucked the life out of me and we have been hit with the sickness for over a month in this house. So in case you missed it... 

And we could t be more excited! Dylan celebrated with some party favors. 

She isn't totally sure if she is excited but we are working on it. We went and bought him his first gift! 

Dylan has decided it was hers so I had to hide it. But he is a strong, healthy boy and even though he is kicking my butt right now, we can't wait to meet him in a few short months. If only he had a name... 

Christmas time!

So busy during Christmas and we have been sick ever since! But some little cutie I know had a great Christmas! We had Christmas a little early with the Brooks fam and she played her little heart out! 

It was fun seeing Crystal and Dave before they move to their next locale in California! 

Santa was definitely good to her! We did Christmas Eve service at church with Grammy and Grumpy, made cookies, attempted a gingerbread house which was a major fail, opened stockings and prepared for Santa! 

We stayed up all night putting her kitchen together which was a huge hit come morning! 

And she also had a few surprises... 

Such a fun day! 

We also got to spend some time with the Jacobsen crew that we rarely get to see. Lots of good food, good people, and football! 

Overall a great holiday and next year there will be two...
