Hello all! Thought I would jot a few thoughts down as I continue procrastinating baby projects I need to finish—cutting circles for Tabitha’s wreath and getting stuff together to make her mobile. My personal deadline is February 21st…even dragged my BFF in on the mobile; she is helping me on the 21st to start/complete it. I am extremely lucky that my Aunt Shauna volunteered to paint Tabitha’s room, so all Jason had to do was trim the ceiling. My dad came over and put ALL of Tabitha’s furniture together by himself. For all of this I am so thankful as Jason works so much I know these two major “to-do’s” would probably still not be completed…scary. On February 21st, I plan to have the room complete (pictures to follow)! The weekend of the 21st I have the RRCA (running coaching certification—I cannot wait to start hitting the pavement again) certification the entire weekend and the next is my last weekend being a mother to one child.
This pregnancy has been slow and fast. Slow, because this pregnancy has definitely been more difficult on my body. I was sick (nauseous) a lot at the beginning and randomly throughout. Followed by some major tummy issues a few times and just worn the heck out! My body aches in places I didn’t know could ache…my doctor told me it’s because I am chasing a toddler and more active this go round. Fast, because I AM chasing a two year old all day every day, planning for Tabitha, taking care of house chores/dinner, ½ of the pregnancy I was in school, and keeping up with Jason. Fast, the actual due date is set for March 7th—two weeks early and I am so flippin’ EXCITED I have a “date” to countdown.
Some great friends (gals I met through running) of mine hosted a baby shower for me a few weeks ago. It was amazing…thanks to so much help from family and friends I feel very prepared for Tabitha, just not organized…but what was the date??? February 21st—all will be done! Here are some pictures from the shower, beautiful, huh?!
The Lovely Hostesses
WELCOME
Gifts!
Holly and I were pregnant together with our first. Now, again and we are having our litte ones on the SAME day!
I have known these ladies since 7th grade!
Karch is getting funnier every day. He cracks me up. Even when I put him to bed, he will try to delay by asking silly things…he will go through all his favorite shows “Doooora, Diego, Thomas, etc.” all followed with a sneaky grin and giggles. Melts my heart and makes me laugh. Another funny moment, flies, yes, flies…we have flies from a lovely dead mouse in the attic which leads to flies in the winter. Karch started noticing them and yells “BEES!” it took me a second to realize what he was talking about. He was chasing them around his play room. I went into the kitchen to do something and next thing I know he is running to me freaking out tears and all pointing to his ear and saying something about BEES. I put it all together and realized one of the “BEES” must have swiped his ear. Poor guy (funny for me, but not him). He is definitely a busy bee himself…it takes an army to keep up with his busy self. We go to play dates and I feel like I am chasing him instead of getting adult time with the moms. He is a rough and tuff kinda boy—I hear often from others including his teacher “he is ALL boy”…yep, I know. Today, I signed him up for Tiny Kicks indoor soccer (I am so happy my friend Lisa told me about it…most activities are for 3 yr olds and up, but this is for 2 yr olds only). You know that means a bunch of boys and girls running around aimlessly and looking so cute in their tiny shin guard’s (the camcorder will definitely be in hand). I figured it is something he can do rain or shine since it is indoors. Such a cool kid.
Okie Dokie, I am going to go eat some cookies with milk…while I can blame it on the baby.
