Pregnancy Nest

I wonder what Jason would think if I got this? On the plus side, it would probably keep me from moving so much......just saying...

Potty Update

This is what we think of our potty......

17 weeks!

Here is my first bump picture update. I can honestly say getting a pregnant belly is far more exciting the first time around... so don't be shocked if you don't see too many picture updates :) We find out the sex Friday! I can barely contain my excitement!















Here is mommy's little helper this weekend. Thank goodness I had just finished emptying the dishwasher! As you can see it can be hard to get things done around our house. But boy do we have fun!!! I cherish every moment!

Oooooo pregnancy....

It is so funny how you easily "forget" what it felt to be pregnant. I have crazy dreams during my pregnancy and so far I am waking up every morning singing a new sing. I obviously got desperate this morning because I woke up singing, "I'm getting nuttin for Christmas, Mommy and Daddy are mad.." I mean seriously??? How did my body come up with that one????

 I gained so much weight with Jack and I am praying that doesn't happen this time, so I am terrified of gaining weight! I stepped on the scale the other night and I gained 6 pounds all of the sudden! Ahhh I went in to full panic mode. But there is nothing I can do about it now! :( To remind me how awesome being pregnant is, I got an email this morning titled, 10 icky pregnancy side effects. wow great title! Then I opened it to find this at the beginning:

Highlights

• 1. Vaginal discharge
• 2. Gas and bloating
• 3. Bleeding gums
• 4. Constipation
• 5. Excessive salivation
• 6. Hemorrhoids
• 7. Itchy skin
• 8. Nosebleeds
• 9. Swollen extremities (edema)
• 10. Yeast infections

well if that isn't lovely..............

On a positive note the baby is moving so much and I can feel it more and more! It makes me soo happy!! I can't wait til we find out the sex next week!!! This is flying by!

I will leave you with this....

This is how I found Jack the other day. He cracks me up!

What a weekend!

We had a GREAT weekend filled with fun!!
Jack has been in the most amazing mood lately and his smiles is so contagious. I catch it every time! This weekend Jack got a sand & water table that he absolutely loves! Although he does try to drink out of it....

He also got a potty! (the cutest little potty ever) I know it seems really early right? Jack is so interested in the potty that I figured what could it hurt... the faster I get him out of diapers the easier my life will be with two babies! We aren't pushing him to use it though. We are going to let him take his time and figure it out. I put him on it when we first put it together and drum roll please......... He went potty!! I was in shock!! But I think it was an absolute fluke because that hasn't happened since :)

Sunday Jack was such a little ham and big helper! I was trying to clean things out and he was such a big helper going around with his mini sized swiffer and helping me push the vacuum around! He makes cleaning fun!

He loves to close the doors between the dining room and the kitchen while I am in the kitchen cleaning.....as you can tell he thinks it is hilarious...:)

Woah wait.. what?

Well it is no secret that I am pregnant, but to be completely honest sometimes I just forget because I have a lot of things going on and I have had NO symptoms! I have had a slight tummy popping out but no big deal until this week! HOLY MOLY!

I got out of the shower the other morning and thought wow hello boobs. They came over night and then yesterday IT happen....... I had to UNBUTTON MY PANTS!!! This little peanut decided to upgrade from an ocean front room to a pint house and needed more room! I wasn't quite prepared for this....you'd think I would be, being a second pregnancy and all but the last time seemed very gradual and I "WANTED" to wear pregnancy clothes and to "look" pregnant. Jack has also noticed my belly and decided to rub it while we were walking through the grocery store...I can only imagine what he was thinking, "Oh mommy we've put on a few pounds have we?"

On a very positive note though, I can feel the baby :) And with that it is all worth it.

I can't post without adding a picture from my favorite little boy/comedian!
