Only 15 weeks to go before our little baby girl is supposed to arrive! I am getting more and more excited everyday! Today we rented a carpet cleaner and cleaned the two kids rooms. I really wanted to get new carpet, but the furniture for Preston was a little more expensive than I was hoping. So instead we cleaned it and maybe new carpet will come after she arrives. So, now we can clean the walls and paint the nursery! I can't wait to see it all together.
The pregnancy has continued to go well. This little girl moves a lot - especially in the evenings when I finally get to sit down and relax. She has kicked Preston a couple of times when I am trying to dress or undress him. I don't think he felt it, but I certainly did! Rudy has gotten kicked a couple of times as well when he is trying to sit on me.
My last doctors appointment was on Tuesday and was just fine. The baby's heartbeat was 144bpm and I am measuring right on time. The doctor also is very satisfied with my weight. He told me that if all of his patients gained weight like I did, things would be really easy! I don't always feel pregnant, in fact, at times I might forget if she didn't move so much!
Preston still doesn't quite understand what is going on with all the baby stuff. People say things to him all the time about a little sister and AJ tries to get him to understand my belly is getting bigger, but I don't even think he notices. I think he is a little too young to really get the idea of what is happening. Hopefully once this little girl arrives he will be ok with her staying!
Preston is talking up a storm. It is impossible to keep up with all the words he can say and understands. He can repeat almost anything you say now - so be careful if you are around him! There are definitely times when I ask him to do something and he amazes me that he completely understood what I said and performed the task completely. He loves Sesame Street now and I really think he is learning a lot from it - he "counts" in a full yell, just like they do, and he constantly asks to watch "Elmo" or "Abby." Luckily we have stocked up on Sesame Street books so we don't have to turn on the television too much for him.
After we cleaned the carpets this morning, we went out and bought Preston's big boy furniture. Unfortunately it won't be in for 3-4 weeks, but we did buy a full size mattress which he will begin sleeping on tonight! I am very excited to get his new furniture. I think he will love having it.
This past weekend was my birthday - so we went out to dinner with a couple of friends and then came back home to hang out and have some ice cream cake! We went to a newer Mongolian barbque restaurant in town and it was great! Of course there are no pictures of me from that weekend since I seem to be the only who uses the camera. Preston was worn out after playing with all the kids that were over for my birthday - we put him in his room around 9:45 and he went to sleep, or at least was quiet, within probably 2 minutes. As always we checked on him before we went to bed, probably midnightish, and could not find him as he was not in his bed like normal. It took a second or so, but we did find him.
Otherwise things are going very well here in Springfield, except that currently AJ is at Sprint trying to get a new phone since his ended up in a public toilet out of the hands of Preston. Ooops! Hopefully he doesn't have to pay too much if anything to get a new one!
That is probably enough for now. We are enjoying the beautiful weather this weekend and hope it sticks around! Have a great weekend! God bless.
