I'm 16 weeks pregnant today. My days feel very busy! Jude just started a new thing at work, so his schedule is very different, which totally throws me off. I've had to start being creative to keep my, almost three year old busy during the day. And I think Isaac gets bored with me when josh is napping and it's just him and I :) While Isaac naps, josh and i have been doing fun crafts or activities together, which is really fun. I have some fun idea cards that have come in handy lately. The boys have been sleeping great and napping great too! And then of course, today, Isaac is being a stinker about going down for his morning nap... I can't wait until those dumb molars come in!
Josh's birthday is in a month, and i just decided today that we will be doing a pirate themed party. All those moms who have done pirates before me... give me some of your great ideas!! I really need to start working on the invitations... and i haven't even started shopping for Easter baskets... ugh.
Isaac started signing "please" and "thank you", which is adorable! He's signed "all done" and "more" for a while, but i finally got him to say the other two, which i count as quite an accomplishment. It's the little things right? He's saying animal sounds now too: quack, baa, moo... it's very cute.
I feel like my energy level has finally started to get back to normal... so I've had the energy to clean my house, which has been driving me crazy for weeks now! I still have a lot to do, but at least i feel like I'm getting somewhere. I probably should be folding laundry right now actually :)
So i gave up Facebook for Lent this year, and I was incredibly surprised by how lonely i felt! And then... it made me kind of sad that my only connection with people is through FB, and that i would feel lonely because of it. I feel like it's something that has to change... but I'm not really sure where to start. I think more than ever, I'm really missing community, and connection. I think it might be time to talk my husband into joining a life group. We'll see how that goes. I really miss having close friends... and it makes me sad to think about how things change over time.
We are working on converting Josh's room into a "big kid room." I know this sounds crazy, but he's still in his crib. I asked him how he felt about getting a big boy bed, and he wasn't thrilled with the idea. I told him that the new baby would need to sleep in his crib, and then suddenly, he was ok with it :) He's such a sweet boy.
May 11th is our ultrasound appointment, so we're excited to find out if we'll be having a little boy or girl. Josh keeps saying it's a boy, so we'll see :)
