Whats up?

Lots is up. And we have been BUSY. Actually I think busy would be an understatment lately. I have been working extra- turns out I work so little that if I didnt pick up some extra hours I wouldn't qualify for my FMLA leave by about 50 hours- you have to work 1250 hours in a year. And since I was SO close to being there, and considering is a large chunk of (pretty much free) change, I picked up an extra shift pretty much every week for the last month. I should be good to go now, and since one extra shift puts me at full time- the nice part was- my paychecks have been AWESOME. So really, it turned out to be a good thing because I did a LOT of Christmas shopping, because work has been stressful, and stress makes me go shopping. All of my boys are getting spoiled this year :) We had Thanksgiving tonight with my family and tomorrow with Zach's family. I LOVE the holidays!

I have also been trying to get things ready for baby to arrive- organizing Sawyer's room back into a nursery, going through all of his old clothes, ect, AND we have Sawyer's big boy room partially decorated. It really has been hard to find the time to get everything done because when I haven't been at work or out playdating with friends, I have been taking naps with Sawyer. I bought him room darkening curtains for his room to help him nap and oh boy do they ever work- on both of us. I lay down to read him one book and the next thing I know, its 2 hours later and I'm waking up in his bed with him snuggled up next to me. And he is so warm and sweet its hard to leave! Sawyer has been sleeping in his big boy bed now for a while and he does great. He goes to sleep on his own every night after we read. I thought he might wake up at night and get out of bed but he hasn't yet. I think he actually has been sleeping and napping better in his big boy bed which is wonderful because there was no way I was going to have 2 kids in cribs.

Sawyer is a regular chatterbox now days- stringing together 3, 4, 5 and sometimes tons of words together into sentences. And he talks about everything- he must get that from me. I dont think there is a word he can't say- or at least attempt to say. He does have a hard time with his own name though- those darn S's are hard! We have still been trying to play outside as much as possible before it gets too cold. I already am dreaming of spring...

And baby boy #2 is doing well, growing like a weed! I can't believe that I am in my 3rd trimester already. I will be 32 weeks on Tuesday and I feel like this whole pregnancy is flying by. I still feel like we just found out we were going to have another baby, and that we JUST found out that we get to have another little boy. It makes me a little sad because I know I will miss being pregnant- I feel like I am no where near ready to be done yet and I only have 8 weeks left! Maybe Im crazy, but I really love the feeling of being pregnant, and all the little baby wiggles! This baby definatly feels bigger than I remember Sawyer feeling at 32 weeks. And my belly is bigger. He seems like a very sweet baby though- which could be wishful thinking on my part. Sawyer was always a kicker, sometimes I felt like I had bruises on my uterus from him, and once I SWEAR he pinched me in there. This baby dosent kick nearly as hard and ussually he just wiggles and readjusts his position a lot. I have had a lot of braxton hicks contractions and I'm hoping that means they are getting things geared up baby's arrival- unfourtunaly they didnt do much when I was pregnant with Sawyer but heres to hoping that the second time my body wants to move things along a bit before hand. I would love to have less than 26 hours of labor this time.
