Long overdue update
Sorry that I have vanished for the past few months.
Being pregnant, working 40+ hours a week, having a very active 2 year old, and trying to keep a house semi-clean apparently is harder work than I thought! Luckily, I seem to be over the cruddy feeling stage and the extreme fatigue has eased off. Now, I am still upright on Friday afternoon instead of passed out on the couch the minute I get home from work. Things are starting to look up!
What all has been going on around here?
Well, Brayden's vocabulary has exploded over the past few months! It has been amazing to watch him learn & take in new things! We are getting full sentences and thoughts now instead of pharses and single words. I can actually have a real conversation about school, our friends, etc!
He has discovered a love for his Uncle John's music (the band Silver) and is constantly asking to hear "John's music"! Brayden also enjoys playing his guitar along with Uncle John's music! I have a video of this uploading, but it is taking way to long tonight. I will post it later this weekend!
Brayden also loves to play with his trains and cars and can spend a good deal of time moving them throughout the downstairs. One of his favorite "games" is to hide as many of his trains, matchbox cars, and whatever else will fit in the cracks between the couch cushions. You never know what you might find in there these days! Brayden ALWAYS know exactly where each car, train, etc is at though...it is amazing at his memory!
Brayden also loves to ride his tricycle around the house. He hasn't quite figured out the pedals yet, but can get around very well pushing with his feet. As he is riding around, he likes to pretend that he is going to see his two best buddies from church, Brian and John. He will say "bye bye...see you later...going to see Brian and John". Then when he comes back in the room, he will say "I'm back from Brian and John's"!
At school, Brayden is thriving and apparently he has finally started talking at school as well as at home! Just the other day, his Spanish teacher sent home a Spanish report card. The report card listed several words that the kids had recently been taught. I "quizzed" Brayden in the car on the way home and he knew several of the Spanish words. I was so impressed! When we got home, I asked Brayden to tell Daddy how to say "fruit" in Spanish. Brayden looked at Daddy and said "fruit in Spanish"!! He is SUCH an Enzor!
Brayden's daycare also did some really cute photos a few weeks ago with bunny rabbits. The photos turned out so good, that we had to get some! He looks like a little boy now! I just can't believe how quickly he has grown up and changed!
Last week, Brayden had strep throat and a really bad ear infection. Luckily, Matt nor I got the strep throat! While we were at home, I thought he might enjoy a Popsicle to ease his throat. This was the 1st time Brayden had had a Popsicle that I knew of. He seemed to enjoy it, although it got very messy!
We also had ice cream cupcakes for my birthday on Wednesday night. Brayden seemed to enjoy his...don't you think?
Last weekend Brayden stayed with Nana & BB so that Mommy and Daddy could paint his big boy room (and get a much needed sleep in weekend)! We almost have his new room ready to go and once we put all of the finishing touches on the room, I will post some photos (I promise)! Nana & BB even took Brayden to the aquarium for the day!
On the new baby front, I am 14 weeks. The Drs confirmed a c-section date of Sept 1, 2011. We will hopefully (pending on the baby's cooperation) find out the sex on April 6!! Just today, I started feeling the first tiny little butterfly like flutters in my belly! I am so excited to be feeling a little bit of movement! My belly has definitely popped out this 3rd pregnancy a little earlier than it did with either Taylor or Brayden, but that is OK with me! Everything is looking/sounding good on the 2 ultrasounds we have had so far. So far, one of the hardest things for me has been not being able to drink water. Every time I drink plain water, I end up feeling REALLY sick to my stomach. I lived on ginger ale (yuck!!!) for a few weeks. Now I can drink the aquafina flavored water, but I CRAVE a big, tall glass of ice cold water!
That is all that has been going on in around here! I promise to do better in the coming months!
