Just a few things...

Happy Birthday Aaron! Yesterday was Aaron's 26th birthday. We didn't do much, but we did have a small little party just Daisy, Me, and Aaron. I even sang happy birthday : )

Here I am 15 weeks pregnant. I have officially popped out.

And here is Laine and Daisy. Daisy chases Laine around yelling "Neenee", its very cute.



Preggers

This pregnancy has been different than Daisy's. You might be thinking well duh, Lee. I know that every pregnancy is different. I guess what I am trying to say is that this time around has been harder. And once again you might be saying well duh, especially Mom's with more than one kid. I feel like my body got pregnant faster, my butt got bigger, my memory is pitiful, icky sickness, very little motivation, and I am a wee bid moody. And when I say a wee bit, I mean... oh my poor family. I have felt kind of like a moody teenager. Without fail I cry at every Olympic commercial on TV. Luckily though I have been feeling less sick with each passing week and that makes me think more clearly about why I am moody and I am more able to by like "okay I can do it". I am also thankful for Aaron. He has been patient and understanding. Even Daisy at times has come and cuddled with me when I have been lying down. I think on some level she knows that Mom is a little different. I am really hoping that the next trimester brings with it energy and less sickness. It did with Daisy's and so far this pregnancy and Daisy's have held the same timelines. I have a feeling its a boy, but you never know, just a feeling. I have felt a little squiggle too. I know that they say that you won't feel anything until you are at least 14-16 weeks or even longer, but I know what I felt. I had the same feeling I did the first time I felt Daisy move. I have a little tummy now, my belly button even looks different. I love that my family is growing and that Daisy will have a sibling to play with. I am just now letting myself get excited about having a little baby again. Makes me so happy to know I get to hold a newborn again.

At two months... in my skinny mirror :)

Toddler...

I feel confident in saying that we now officially have a toddler. Farewell to our little baby, she is on her way to becoming a little girl. Makes me sad to know that Daisy's "baby baby" stage is in the past. But I do love (and strongly dislike) the fun new things that my little toddler does. I say strongly dislike in a loving way, but learning how to care for a toddler has been much more difficult for me than the baby phase. I get it now when they say it only gets harder. I also have been dealing with the highs and low of pregnancy and that does not help. With that aside though, I do love how fun Daisy is! I can't get over how cute she is and how much I love her! She can copy tons of my words, find body parts, loves books & shoes, Mickey Mouse Club house, loves her Dad, and takes good care of her baby doll. She is 18 months old now and had her last shots until she is four, yay! She is in the 25% for weight and 50% for height. She burns tons of calories. The only time she stops moving is to sleep. She has become more of a cuddler in the past few months, but it only last a few minutes at a time. She is a busy bee and is always doing something.

Proof that she is a toddler:

I have found scribbles on my walls and furniture.

She can bring me her own diaper.

She loves to throw away trash.

Tantrums.

She doesn't want to eat in her high chair anymore.

She is in a big girl car seat.

I find random objects in unusual places.

She thinks everything is hers.

Cheerio anyone?

She spends more time in there than her doll.

At the splash pad.

Why do kids always put underwear on their head?

Just cute.
