Also D has been working out of state for the last few weeks:( J and I missed him very very much but he's home now for a little while so that's nice. He's supposed to be home for several weeks but still might have to go back but for now I'm just going to enjoy him being home.J is for sure glad that he is home. Every morning and evening he would ask, Daddy? Daddy? and it just broke my heart to have to tell him daddy wasn't at home and that he would be gone for a while. SO Sad!
I'm trying to think of everything that has been going on since my last post. Not too much here. OH yea hello... biggest news ever.. We found out that we are having a BOY!! D and I are very excited! We've tossed around a few names Logan Barkley or Luke Barkley and some others. Not sure of a final one yet but at least we do have some names if we can't think of anything else. This little boy inside of me is moving all the time now! I started feeling him move a couple weeks ago but now he is moving all the time and its so fun to feel! I'm feeling a lot better sick wise which is soo nice! I am 19 weeks today and we go to the Dr the 20th for my U/S appt. Can't wait to see our little guy on the screen. J is saying baby all the time and constantly giving my belly kisses. Its soo sweet. I pray that they are close to each other and can share sports and activities together. I know siblings fight, especially boys but I do pray that deep down they will have a special bond and grow to be really close. Wish me luck:)
We had our first ER trip w/ J :( He fell off the couch Fri night and cut his ear on the coffee table. We rushed to the ER (I should have known better) only to be told by the triage nurse to just sit down and have a seat. she said she had several people in front of J and she couldn't tell us how long we would have to wait. HELLO? my not even 2 yr old son is bleeding profusely from his ear and needs stitches and you want me to sit and wait?? Not Hardly!!! So we left and went to another medical clinic where they took J back and stitched up his ear. Worst night of my life. J was strapped to a backboard screaming and crying hollering"mommy they got me mommy they got me" Kills me to even type this. Of course 20 mins after the snitching ordeal he was up chasing D around the curtain.. go figure. We get his stitches out Friday which I was told my D and the doctors that it doesn't hurt, just tickles. It better not hurt cause I do not want my little boy to be in anymore pain. He really hasn't bothered with his stitches at all since he got them. I'm glad their up on his ear where he doesn't really see them and its not on like a finger or something that he has to use all the time. Of course his school pictures are today... HA HA GO figure. But I know he'll look cute no matter what. Even if he does have a big band-aid on his ear :)
What else... We took J to the fair sat night. As you can imagine he got lots of love and attention this weekend. We rode the carousel and D bought him some blow up sponge bob thing that J picked out. We had a lot of fun. J just kept saying "WOW" ... I'd pay every dime I had to see that little boy smile. Its the best feeling ever.
We plan on taking J to the pumpkin patch this coming Sunday. We were going to take him last Sunday but he developed a pretty nasty cough sat and it was just muddy and icky out anyways. Hopefully this weekend will be a lot prettier. Sat is homecoming and I want to take J to the parade but we'll have to see how the weather is and how J is feeling. D has to to work which stinks but we'll see. At least D is in town working so that is good.
Here are some pictures that I have taken lately. I have no stitches pictures just cause it makes me cry even looking at his ear, much less to take a picture. D took one on his phone so if you're desperate to see, you can ask him for it:)
D recently celebrated his 30th birthday. This is the cake that J "helped" me decorate. What can I say its definitely homemade:)
