Updates on Baby Girl...
- I am 17 weeks pregnant now and feeling pretty good, it was a rough first trimester (I was much sicker than I was with Calvin). I had plenty of aversions but my strangest was and still is beef stroganoff. Which never actually made me sick in the first place... But the thought of ever eating it again makes me nauseous. Hmm....
- I have been a lot more hormonal this time around. Poor Korey has been very understanding as I randomly get grumpy, mad, and cry at the silliest things. It's not fun for me either, and I try to keep it under control!
- Thanks to those extra hormones, my skin has been a wreck! When I was pregnant with Calvin, my skin never looked better. This time, I have not been so lucky. I have never loved my Bare Minerals makeup more...
- Doughnuts, popcorn, fast food, cinnamon rolls.... Some random cravings that have hit me so far.
- I finally felt her fluttering around today. I thought I had felt her a couple times in the last couple weeks but today she has been consistently bumping around in there. Not strong yet, but I can definitely feel her.
- Calvin wanted to name her "Moses" so we had to break the news that he would not be getting his wish. : ) When we tell him it is a baby girl, he says "no, it's a baby boy!" Hopefully he doesn't know something we don't or I'll have some pink to return...
- Speaking of names, yes, she has one! But we are keeping it a secret until she gets here.
- How do I even begin to describe this awesome little man? He is so much fun and he makes us laugh everyday. He is so animated and funny and sweet. I could go on and on. : ) He is so smart and can carry on long conversations with us about anything and everything.
- He is still an eater... The kid does not seem to get full and will very rarely turn down an opportunity to eat something.
- He is very inquisitive. A typical conversation with Calvin that occurs at least 5 times a day...
- Mommy: That is a picture of a man
- Calvin: What kind of a man?
- Mommy: A tall man
- Calvin: What kind of tall man?
- Mommy: A tall man with overalls
- Calvin: What kind of tall man with overalls?
- And on and on....
- He tells Korey and I that we are his best friends. He loves giving hugs and kisses and will cuddle with us if he tired and a movie or tv show is on, but trying to get him to sit still any other time is rare.
- Favorites...
- Food: cereal, waffles, spaghetti, green beans, applesauce, and ANYTHING sweet
- Movie: Toy Story, Shrek, Madagascar, Mr. Popper's Penguins, Elf
- TV Show: Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, Super Why
- Toys: Toy Story figurines, anything he can turn into a "magic wand"
- Activities: going outside (he would stay out there all day if we let him) and anything that has to do with water
- Milestones...
- He knows his ABC's and can recognize almost every letter
- Counting to 15
- Shapes: circle, heart, square, triangle, diamond
- Colors (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, brown, white, black, gray)
- He can sing our Good Night song, Rock a Bye Baby, Twinkle Twinkle, Birthday Song
- POTTY TRAINING! He has been stubborn on this one, but we are finally on our way
- Bedtime
- Our routine is bath time, brush teeth, read a book, say prayers, sing Rock a Bye Baby, and then sing Good Night song. Do not try to mix up that order or he is not happy.
- He goes to bed in his big boy bed around 8pm with his "little blanket"
- He inevitably ends up in our room almost night. We keep saying we will stop that habit but we haven't yet. It will hopefully happen before baby gets here.... We love waking up next to him despite being kicked and punched all night while he's in bed with us. : )

Thank you for blogging! I feel like we have been out of touch with the growing and antics of the little ones. This is great. Congrats on baby girl! They are definitely different!
