A Little Bit of Everything

I turned 32 weeks on Sunday...8 more to go!!!! I love that I am officially in the single digits :) These last two weeks have been uneventful.  We are in a nice routine that I am not taking for granted...I know it is about to be disrupted with a baby and I am enjoying while it lasts.  Speaking of baby, Dylan felt her kick the other day and thought it was hilarious.  His new trick is to suck in his belly and then push it out and say "baby kick".  If you ask him where the baby is, he will lift up his shirt and point to his belly.........crazy kid.
As I am typing this post, Dylan is in the living room dancing his little heart out to Yo Gabba Gabba.  I can't stand that show, but Dylan LOVES it.  I know I have mentioned this before, but I am not a big "TV" person.  I don't like for Dylan to watch much of it, but I will say that he has learned a lot from watching this show.  He's learned how to jump, beat box, stand on one foot, flip (can't do a full flip, but he tries and usually lands on his side), shake hands, and some other things that I can't think of right now...... baby brain. 
My parents were here last weekend helping my brother move into a new apartment.  We were over at JD's helping unload boxes and Dylan was walking backwards and fell over his cat.  Neither one was hurt, but it scared Winston (cat) and he wouldn't come near Dylan the rest of the day.  On our way home Dylan was in the backseat and I heard him say, "JD-Meow-fall-bonk-waaa (crying noise)".  This was the first time he put more than two words together and I totally understood what he was saying-"I fell on JD's cat and cried when I bonked myself" or something like that.
We are going to my parents house this weekend for Labor Day and my birthday.  The Cabbage Patch factory is about 45 minutes away from where I grew up, so we're going to the "hospital" (factory) on Saturday and getting a baby.  I did this with my grandparents years ago...you watch a baby be born out of the cabbage...it's cute.  They name it and wrap it up and you take it home...it has a birth certificate and everything.  Anyways, I am going to use this baby as practice with Dylan and then when baby girl gets here the doll will be hers.  Hopefully after this trip, when we say momma is going to the hospital to get a baby, he will kind of understand a little more than he did before.  I will let you know!
I will leave you with a few pictures from the last two weeks.  ENJOY!!

When my parents came last week to help my brother move they brought their truck.  Dylan loves trucks and spent a good amount of time "driving" while they were here. 


Dylan got this toy for Christmas last year.  He loves his Elmo Airplane.


This was our 2nd apartment after we got married.  I am 30 weeks in this picture.
 

This picture was taken at our friend's birthday party.  Daddy had been squirting Dylan with a water gun and he was soaked.
 


















Dylan obviously thought momma wasn't doing a good enough job when she was cleaning the other day and decided to take matters into his own hands.




















 We thought it was cute the other day when Dylan was talking to my mom on the phone and wearing nothing.  Dylan would rather go around without clothes on. 



















Finally...This is a picture of my dad when he was 2...looks like Dylan. 

30 weeks!!!

I can't believe I only have 10 more weeks.  There are times this pregnancy drags, but for the most part it has flown by.  When I was pregnant with Dylan, we had everything done by now.  The room was ready, crib was made, his swing was set up downstairs, clothes were hanging in the closet, etc.  Ask me what we have done for this baby girl...nothing!  I haven't wanted to do anything because I am holding out that we will move before she comes.  I told Trey the other day that we will start getting everything ready when I am 38 weeks-2 more months.  If our house doesn't sell soon, I think we are going to rent it out, which can still happen before baby girl makes her arrival.

Dylan has no idea what is in store for him in 10 weeks.  We talk about the "baby" in mommas belly and how he is going to be a big brother, but I feel like he is still too young to comprehend everything....he thinks everyone has a baby in their belly.  Anytime he sees a baby, he will look at them and say "oh cute" and then he is off doing other things.  His world is about to be rocked!!!

Dylan and I are in a play group and the sweet moms in the group are throwing me a small shower in a few weeks.  There are a bunch of us having our 2nd baby, so it's fun to be going through the same thing with friends.  I will post pictures after I have my shower.

I randomly went to a consignment sale this past weekend and I found a killer deal on girl bedding.  I got a Pottery Barn crib set (bumper, skirt, sheet, quilt, pillow case and 2 shams) for $30.  It was put back in the original package and it still had the original price on it...$189.00.  I love a good deal.

A few pictures

I love how he sleeps with his luvie.  

One of our photos from the family photo shoot we did 2 weeks ago.

Giving Winston (Uncle JD's cat) a kiss

He had something on his bottom lip that was bothering him...don't know what it was, but it made a cute picture. 

Mine and Dylan's checkup

This week Dylan had his 18-month checkup and I had my 27-week prenatal checkup.  Dylan is not a huge fan (an understatement) of going to the doctor's office.  Ever since his traumatic ER experience, he really doesn't like anyone wearing a white coat or scrubs to touch him.  However, this appointment went surprisingly well. We go to a family practice and they had hired a new doctor - we loved her!  She was really good with Dylan and he didn't do his normal screaming...which was great.  He weighed 30 lbs and was 35 inches long...no wonder my back hurts when I carry him!!!!

 I had my 27 week appointment on Friday and everything looked good.  I had to do my glucose test, which really isn't as bad as everyone makes it out to be.  The stuff tastes like orange soda pop, but with a horrible aftertaste.  I've gained 15 lbs so far and I'm measuring right on track for my due date.  I keep hoping this little one won't be a week overdue like her brother, but I have a feeling she just might be a November baby instead of an October baby :)

 It's kinda fun to know that I am now going every 2 weeks to see my Dr...it's getting closer and closer.  I saw a mom the other day at a play place and she had a 22 month old and an almost 2 month old.  That is totally going to be me in a few months...kinda exciting and scary all at the same time.  Dylan is used to "going and doing" during the day and I hope I will still be able to do that once I have the baby.  I'm glad I will have family here to help right after delivery, so they can take Dylan to all his favorite hangouts :)

 So, our appointments went well and everyone is healthy.  Dylan is excited he doesn't have to go back until January for his two year (gasp) appointment.  Momma is excited that she gets to go back in 2 weeks to her appointment :)
