Feeling Great

I was just updating my face book status with the following:

And I thought to myself afterwards that I really need to expand on it. I want to capture this moment so in a few days/weeks when I don't feel the same I can read this and remember this day.

It truly has been a great day and I feel really really good. My energy level is high, my body feels awesome and it feels so nice to be sitting in a clean, fresh home. Usually Friday's are kind of rough for me. While everyone is celebrating the end to the week, I am usually fighting to figure out who is going to watch Ty while I am at work and also when I come home with him and still need to work what am I going to do try and focus on the work that needs to be done. But by God's graces, Chris was able to change his schedule at work and he is not staying home on Fridays and spending some quality man time with his son which allows me to be stress free at work and actual focus when I come home.

Okay I am done bragging on my day. Ha, even baby Fé's kicks and punches are getting to me (mostly).

30 Weeks Belly Shot

Well, we figure, better late than never right. We finally have a shot of the belly. Phil's 30 weeks and look at that beautiful belly. Can you believe we have 7-10 weeks left? I will say, this time around, time really flew by.

Any ways, look for more pictures to come.

Later.

Ty Loves Change

So, earlier we mentioned that one of the upcoming changes was changing Ty's bed from a crib to a day-bed. How did he do? Well, check out the video to see how he did.

Stop Beating Me Up

More and more lately this Little Lady Bug seems like she is fighting her way from the inside out. I am getting stronger and frequent kicks each day.

Honestly I know you are in there, I haven't forgotten about you. Please don't puncher my lungs or bladder ... mommy needs those!!!

Oh and you are wearing mommy out. Please can she make it through work today without falling asleep???

Am I Ready for Change?

That's the question I am running into. So we are into the 3rd trimester and Fé is doing great every day reminding Phil that she's there. Also, she's getting her workout on, punching and kicking Phil. So this question on change and am I ready? Well, it's not like I have a choice in the matter. I think it's really starting to hit home. First, was when Phil asked me to start moving around some of Ty's furniture and take down some of his old stuff. Second, was the whole car seat thing. I mean, we will have 2 car seats in the car. But most of all was when we decided to look into changing Ty's crib to the next bed stage, a day bed. Ty has one of those growing beds which go from a crib to a day bed to a full size.

He has done very well at bed time, and so we figure its time to start the next stage. Of course our main concern is when he wakes up sometimes in the middle of the night, he will now have to freedom to just get out of bed and free roam. Well, that's where the gate comes into play. We'll use that to help with the teaching process.You know what we have come to understand, it's that for young kids, routine is essential. So, that's what we will need to establish, a new, or rather adjusted routine.

The next couple of days, the room will under go some transformation. We are not in our home yet, but maybe we'll do a little more decorating. Incorporate some blue and pink color. Some jungle lady bug themes. I don't know, we'll come up with something. We'll make sure we take pictures.

Here comes change, ready or not. *smile*

Time For Some Change

So it is time we begin making some changes around here. Our little lady bug Fé will be here soon and we are going to need to make room for her. We had a family dream to be in a home before we had more children but we just didn't have time to get it all together. So we have to make the best of what we have and fit both Ty and Fè in one room.

I have been thinking about it all for a few weeks but wasn't planning on doing anything for a few weeks but Chris and I heard some great advice during out child birth class for second time parents last week. They suggest to not wait until the baby arrives to make changes. If your toddler doesn't like change they can associate the changes with the new baby and blame the baby. But if you change beforehand they don't connect the two things and it just seems that their new sibling just happens to fit in to the family as is. So we are looking into re-arranging the room and also bringing out the second car seat from this weekend. Sure it is early but I think it will be worth it.

We are also hoping to get a life like baby doll to hold and allow Ty to interact with to see how he reacts to it and the attention we give it. I really think Ty is a pretty strong and smart kid so I'm not too worried but you never know.

Hard hitting Ty

So, Ty is getting more and more coordinated and he's getting more and more fearless. This is his latest favorite thing to do. He would back up and run full speed and hit you with a stiff arm. He loves wrestling also. I'll try and get that on here.












Fe is almost here!!!!
