Baby Norby Number 2!



So we are so excited to welcome another little BOY into our family this winter.  My Due date is December 27th, so I'm thinking we are going to have either a little christmas or new years baby! I am currently 20 weeks, and feeling great.  We have been trying to explain to James that he is going to be a big brother and that mommy has a baby in her tummy.  He loves to give my belly kisses, but I'm not really sure he understands why :)

This week I went through all of our baby stuff from James, and I couldn't believe how much we had accumulated!  I did buy baby boy number 2  a few outfits of his own though, and they are so ridiculously cute!  I just love buying baby clothes!  It's way too addicting.  I guess it's probably a good thing we are having another boy, or I may break the bank with all the cute little girl clothes out there!

Nate has been crazy busy this summer.  He has been working on starting up his own business installing sprinklers.  He has been working so hard, and we are so grateful to him for all that he has been doing for our family.  School starts up next week!!  He will get to have his own classroom, which I think he is pretty excited about.  It will be a pod (a building set up outside of the school) but it's better than the cart he lived out of last year :)  It's is so crazy to think about how far we have come in only one year.

I am still working and staying way too busy!  Apparently there was a baby boom 9 months ago, because this spring and summer have been ridiculous!  Hopefully it will slow down a little this fall.

James is growing up way too fast.  He towers over all the other 2 year-olds and even some of the 3 year-olds.  He loves to watch movies, play balls (play in his ball pit) go outside, and read books.  He will put his shoes on, bring me my shoes, and then go and stand by the door asking "outside, p'ease"  He is a terribly picky eater, and it's probably all my fault.  He loves alfredo, macaroni (which he will often ask for by name) and chocolate.  He loves to cuddle up with his large stuffed dog in his room and watch movies, especially toy story and finding nemo.

We moved James into the toddler bed a few weeks ago, and so far it has been going fairly well.  We did have a few incidents in the beginning where he was waking up, getting out of bed and standing by the door not making any noise, so I would go in to get him up in the morning and hit him with the door.  Because of this, we bought a video monitor, which is the BEST thing we have every bought for him.  It is amazing to watch your children's sleep routine when you're not in the room.

Well, I need to sleep, as I'm working nights the rest of the week :(  I will leave you with pictures of baby number 2.  The ultrasound looked great.  I do have a low-lying anterior placenta, but it really shouldn't be a problem.  They will re-check in in a few weeks to make sure it has migrated up. Sorry for the long blog hiatus.  I promise to be better!
