Progress on baby # 2

Life is so busy with a toddler at home that I have not had time to write much down about this second pregnancy. I guess this is how it typically goes for the second child. Sorry in advance little one for not documenting life for you as much.

Anyway I am 18 weeks and time is flying by. My nausea with you is still present at times but it's not bad. You also have decided to use my bladder as your own personal water bed. Thanks for that!  I feel like I spend most I my day going to the bathroom. Other symptoms I have that are different this time around is lower abdominal pain, pulling and stretching which I have also been told is pretty normal for a second pregnancy. 

I still have not officially gained any weight over what I was before I was pregnant with you. I have gained back the 8 lbs I lost in the beginning but nothing more. I really barely have a belly and it's nice but I also worry a bit about how you are doing and if you are developing okay. Luckily this week I finally felt you move. I felt you internally and with my hand that was resting on my belly. It was such a great feeling and I wish you would make your presence known in that fashion more often. I'm sure you soon will. 

Anyway, we are looking forward to seeing more of you in November third during our anatomy ultrasound. Hope you keep your gender a secret from is because we want to experience that surprise again when we finally meet you.

Time Flies When Your Growing Up

I can't believe it's been a month since I posted anything. We have just even so busy with fall activities that each day seams to slip away faster and faster. Let's see if I can catch us up.

A few weeks ago we visited Evans Orchard with Andrea, Brett, Cole, Graham, and Nana and Clark. The boys had so much fun. Brody loved the slide and probably went down it 50 times. 

Grandma also came down one day and we took Brody to Boyd's Orchard. He was kinda in a rotten mood but we he still had a good time playing in the water at the mining station. 

Two weekends ago our friends, Brett, Monkey, Harvey, and Chris spent Friday and Saturday putting in post for our new backyard fence. We unfortunately had to put up a fence to keep the neighbors mean dog away from us and especially Brody. The boys worked so hard on this fence, while Andrea, Shannon and I played with the boys. We even had time to paint some pumpkins, and visit the park while the boys worked. 

Brody has been super fun and super clingy at times lately. Some days he wants me to hold him non stop and snuggle him all day. If you even think about taking him away from me even for something fun he cries and cries. He acts all excited when Dave comes home from work but then runs to me crying and won't play with him. I love his extra snuggles but sometimes it's just not very convenient.  

He is talking so much more and I love hearing what new phrases or words he picks up. I'll include a video of his paper boy route. I love this video because he really started delivering the neighbors papers all on his own and I love how he tells me, "be right back."  He sometimes gets things a bit wrong but it makes it even cuter. For instance when he sneezes he says, "bless you" or when he bonks his head he says "sorry."  When you ask him what a piggy says he says, "ink, ink."  

Brody is just growing and maturing so fast. I can't believe we soon will have a two year old and are in the process of setting up his big boy room.
