This is my daily life. Toddler tantrums have taken over this past week and I am slowly losing my patience with these "Terrible Two's" even though we have 3.5 months until we turn TWO! When we went to Connor's 18 month check up the doctor said he entered them early. Yippee. So they should leave early too, right?! I can only hope. As I type this my child is screaming bloody murder down the hall because he doesn't want to nap. Of course, he doesn't even though he slept like crap and woke up at 5:45 this morning. But then we get those moments of "let-me-scream-like-someone-is-murdering-me" out of the way and he is sweet and cuddly. And all in that time I forget that there is a tiny human growing in my belly because she is so mellow. LISTEN little one---- don't lose that mellowness. This mama begs of you to please not lose the calm disposition you already have in utero. Although she is strong, she kicks like her brother did when he was playing ninja in my belly.
Enough about that and on to realizing that in 19 weeks-ish we will have another baby in the house. I even came to the realization that Connor came a week and a half early so this could mean this one will be here in less than 19 weeks OR she could really enjoy the quiet and warmth of my tummy and stay longer. Who knows, but I do know that I am so unprepared this time that it's not funny. Here is what I HAVE done:
1. Boys clothes have been gone through and I kept the gender neutral/girly looking outfits.
2. Sold a few outfits and used that money to start her own wardrobe.
3. Bought a used Joovy Double Stroller in excellent used condition. LOVE IT!
4. Crocheted 2 headbands and started on a cocoon blanket.
What I haven't done:
1. Realized this little lady needs a nursery (oops)
2. Started on the nursery
3. OR thought about anything else really baby related.
Yeah, at 21 weeks we had Connor's nursery finished, I had my baby shower and we were just sitting and waiting on the little guy to come. I always thought people lied about the second child preparedness. I apologize. I finally am feeling 95% back to par. I am still so tired during the day, my feet swell like nobody's business and the nausea seems to hit me in the evenings again. Things I didn't deal with during Connor's pregnancy. I barely felt pregnant during his, I was moving and grooving right along from 14 weeks until about 34 weeks. This is getting long, my rambling is seriously terrible today.
Anywho, other happenings- We are slowly working on upgrading the kitchen appliances. I am in love with the stainless steel fridge we got and last night our dishwasher showed up. Those are the only two appliances for now. Over the next 2 years we plan on upgrading the stove top and the wall oven. But those can wait as they are not leaking water and shitty to say the least.
We are anxious for vacation. Next week we leave for a week long vacation to the Gulf Coast. I am ill prepared for that as well. One day when the kids are grown I will be prepared again ;-). Until then, bare with me.
When we return it will be serious business with getting Emilee's nursery done and working on organizing our room and decorating Connor's room. I never got around to that when I transitioned his room from the big room to the small room. Baseball items I HAD to have are getting put back to use. And hopefully Daddy doesn't mind doing a little switcheroo of the fans again ;-). I love you honey!
As my child has fallen silent in his room, I anticipate he has decided a nap isn't such a terrible idea and I can conclude this long, drawn out post with the 21 week update.
