Type A/Type B

I don't know what is going on, but I am in nesting mode again.  I think part of me wants to have everything organized before I go back to work.  I started the other day with my bathroom and with maternity clothes.  Check out my bathroom drawer...  I may be turning into more of a type A personality.  Uh-oh..

Totally Random

This is a random post b/c that is what happens when you blog 4 times a year, right??  Jake had his two month doctor appt. 2 weeks ago and was 13 lbs. 6 oz.  He is 2 pounds heavier than John was at that age.  So far he is a really good baby (I hope I didn't just jinx it).  He has started smiling and he coo's and laughs at us.  He is sleeping in good chunks of time and is only really upset if he is hungry, too hot or needs a diaper change.  

Jake seems to like a pacifier and the swing (2 things John did not like).  The pacifier is nice b/c it buys you some time if you are almost home and the little dude is hungry and starts yelling.  I find time going by so fast w/ Jake.  He is almost 3 months.  That is crazy.  After John was born I checked the milestone chart to make sure he was always doing what was "normal", but I find my self not wanting to rush Jake.  I want him to be a newborn/baby for as long as possible.  I'm sure that is because he is our last.

John is almost 2 and a half now and is saying the funniest things.

1)  Buzz Wiper (aka Buzz Lightyear) is his buddy and he flies him around saying "I come in peace!"

2)  Everything now is "No way".  John it's time for a bath (me talking).  "No way mom".

3) "Shot".  When he is frustrated he says "Oh Shot!"  I know what you're thinking... I'm hoping this is "Oh shoot" and not "Oh Shit".

4)  My mom taught him to say "I'm busy" so now when I ask him to do something he says "I'm busy mom".  Sweet.

I know he has said a lot of other funny things, but I forget to write them down.  He is sleeping in his big boy room no problem, but is fighting bedtime.  He wants to stay up late w/ everyone.  He has also used his potty 3 times!  He would go at school no problem, but was not as interested at home.  We are bribing him w/ toys when he goes (we are not above bribery in this house). 

Jacob Wade

Our newest family member arrived on May 7th.  Jacob Wade was born 8lbs. 10oz. and 21 inches tall.   We couldn't be happier.  Our little family of 4 is complete.

Back to Blogging

I took a little hiatus from blogging, but I think I'm back.  I've been watching this interesting series on Lifetime called The Conversation with Amanda de Cadenet.  I'm not usually a Lifetime watcher, but this is real women (ok, celebrity women) talking about real issues.  The first week was about Motherhood and this week was about being Fearless.   This week they had a woman on named Leslie Bennet who talked about working moms, developing your own hobbies, life after your babies are born and it is just you and your husband.  It was all very, very interesting.

Right now we have a 2 year old and another arriving in just 2 days (AAHAHAHH!).  So I am definitely in the Mommy-mode, but watching the show also reminded me not to forget everything else.  Sometimes you get reminders in the strangest areas.

Anyway, I decided to continue blogging right now since I do enjoy reading other peoples blogs so much, my time is very limited when it comes to hobbies, and I like writing (although I am totally out of practice).

It's started...

I remember my dear friend telling me a story where her son asked her a tough question, gave her a couple seconds and then said, "never mind I'll ask dad".

Well, my first tough question happened. We were driving on my street and John was pointing and telling me, "Mama cow" "Mama doggy" "Mama tree" and then all of sudden...

"Mama where dinosaur??"

My response: "well buddy, that's kind of a long story..."

Mom fail. :)
