Moan and Groan

25 weeks 4 days

The closer I get to my due date, the more I feel pregnant. Okay, that may seem like a pretty obvious statement, but I mean it in more ways than just feeling the baby kick and watching the belly grow. It's the other symptoms. The bad ones. The aches and pains and lack of sleep. The leg cramps and medical extras that I hadn't counted on. I remember being pregnant. Sure. I just don't remember this stuff hitting me so hard so early. And I don't remember them being quite this bad. I'm a little moan-and-groan style at the moment. Excuse me while I pout.

Okay, done pouting. This weekend is Mother's Day. I just found out we're going to be spending our weekend just outside of Las Vegas! It should be fun. A nice hotel. A pool. Cold cocktails, er, or, um, mocktails? Wearing a sexy granny swimsuit, heh. It should be fun. Hopefully. If I can get past the junk I was moaning and groaning about in the last paragraph that seems to have started creeping into this one. :)

Wyatt has been hilarious lately. He's speaking in complete sentences, busy as can be, and loving quality time with his mommy. He likes to grab my hand and drag me wherever he wants to be, to make sure mama's in on the action. Shame he likes to spend so much time down on the floor. Getting up and down is getting a little challenging. Oh, oops. There's that topic again. Better quit while I'm ahead.

Happy Birthday, Wy-Guy!

20 weeks, 5 days

I cannot believe that my monkey boy is 2 years old today! Yep, my little April Fool's Baby. He played his first April Fool's Day prank on his momma when he decided to come in April instead of March! And now, it's already been 2 years since that fateful day. I also cannot believe that I am voluntarily going to go through labor and delivery again in August! (Oh, new moms, what I meant to say is that I get to! The whole process is, um, blissful?) He was just this itsy bitsy bundle of flesh. I remember trying desperately to read his cries. To learn his newborn language, so I could figure out what he wanted. Now, he tells what he wants. Always. Over and over again. Ha!

In pregnancy news, I'm almost 21 weeks now. Chugging along. Feeling lots of tumbles and kicks from the little lady. Adding splashes of pink to the former boy nursery. Buying girl clothes and blankets and changing pad covers. It's fun. Maybe too much fun. :)

Besides turning 2 today, Wyatt also hit another milestone this week. He moved into his big boy room! No more crib. No more tent over the crib to keep him contained. He's learned quite quickly to stay in bed until mommy says he can get up. It's only taken a couple moments of correction to save us a lot of headaches. And we're lucky to have such a great kid, who learns his lessons pretty fast. Well....some of them... :)
