28 weeks

Wow, I have really fallen behind on my posting! I noticed that I do not talk much about me (who really does?), so I thought that this could be a pregnancy update. I am going into my 28th week and feel really good. I think I am bigger than I was with Sydney (Danny, my good husband denies it) but I hear this is normal with your second. I had another ultrasound last week at my new OB and it was so great. They had the 3D machine in office so we did not have to make a special appointment to get some good pictures. The nurse said he is big, already 2 lbs 13 oz. Based on his size my due date should be Sept 1st. Of course they are not changing my date from Sept 16th but just letting me know that he is going to be a beast. All of my mom's boys were 9 pounders so maybe that is my fate. Seeing as it is my second maybe they will induce me before he gets that big, we will see. Since I am new with this OB I am not yet sure on their procedures. I have another monthly July 6th and I will quiz them on what their delivery style is. Other than that, things are good. I cannot believe how time has flown and we are really excited to get this little guy here. Here are a few of the pictures:

He looks really mad here and it cracks me up! He was really calm at the beginning of the ultrasound but then he woke up and started kicking. This is him saying, "Stop poking and leave me alone!"

I think he has Sydney's nose already, what do you think?

How Did This Happen?

Let me give you a little background, my daughter has never been a co-sleeper. This is a fact that I have always been proud of. When she was a newborn she slept in her crib, in her own room. We had a video monitor so I could she as well as hear every breath, so do not call CPS on me! :) She also was the kid who would point to her bed when she was tired. Well ever since we moved and got her into a big girl bed, this is what the morning looks like. 

As you can see, her legs are going across my pillow area, exactly where I should be sleeping. Now I am not the only one who gets the boot, Danny is just as uncomfortable. She usually falls asleep in our bed, we move her to her own bed and by 3am she is in our room climbing in again. So last night I had had enough. At 2:15am I marched her back to her bed. She went crazy, crying, kicking and trying to escape. So I laid down with her until she calmed down and went back to sleep. But sure enough, at 5:30am she was in our bed again! Arg!! I know this is a stage and a process we have to keep up, but I am frankly tired and sore. Being 6 months pregnant with a toddler kicking me in the back is no fun. To soften the blow though, every morning she wakes up, cuddles up to me and either gives me a kiss or says, "love you mama." Sydney possess such strong powers of persuasion that I kiss her back and think, "Could there be a better way to start my day? Maybe just one more night..."
