Pregnancy

Lately I've been thinking of my pregnancy with Graceyn and this one. I vaguely remember anything from mine with G, is that terrible?? I thought I would make a post about the benefits of baby #1 vs baby #2!

Baby #1

Tired? Take a nap! Go to bed when you want. Put your feet up! What little sleep you get at night is interrupted by bathroom breaks.

Baby #2

Tired? Too bad toddler wants to play! No time to nap! Lay in bed watching Mickey and try to catch 5 minutes of sleep. Wake up its 4,5,6 am!!! Come on momma let's go!! What little (more like even less) sleep you get at night is interrupted by bathroom breaks and terrible sleeping toddlers moving or crying wanting to be rocked back to sleep at 3am!

Baby #1

Craving anything? Eat it when you want!

Baby #2

Craving chocolate milk? Better make extra to share with your toddler! Wait, she drank it all? Better try to sneak a glass next time.

Baby #1

Nursery? Check. Name? Check. Hospital bags packed? Check. Wait 5 more months for baby to arrive.

Baby #2

Nursery? Ha. Name? Baby. Hospital bags packed? Maybe I'll grab a few things as I walk out the door. Hope that at least something is completed before baby arrives.

Baby #1

Awe I felt her move - here feel her.

Baby #2

Not real sure when the last time I felt you move was. Push on stomach to make baby move. Ok he/she is still in there.

My poor poor neglected second child. I can only imagine life when you get here :)

Blessed.

Best Moment this week: Just another week down! Enjoying the time I have with my loves.

Weekly wisdom: (she still is) Graceyn has been an absolute doll this past week. She has had very few whiny moments and we get hugs for no reason all day long. It sure makes me forget the weariness of the weeks prior! Hoping it stays a while ;)

TWO!

Today Graceyn turns two. I'm not sure how to feel about this, it's sad my baby is no longer a baby. She is a little girl! I just cannot believe how quick the past 2 years have gone.

We spent the whole weekend celebrating and her real birthday fell on Labor Day, so she had a 3 day celebration! She had a Mickey Mouse Clubhouse themed party/cookout. Hopefully I will have pics up soon...

When she woke up this morning I told her Happy Birthday and she said " Let's get this birthday started, eat cupcakes and open presents!" Ha. She has a plan!!!

We spent the day reminiscing of our drive to the hospital, looking through delivery pictures, and loving our sweet girl. They say the "terrible twos" are rough, and we felt she started about a month ago, but this last week she has been the sweetest! We get hugs for no reason :) I hope this sweetness lasts a while!

I'll do my 30 week update tomorrow... For now I must snuggle my TWO YEAR OLD and hold back the tears..

Blessed.
