Can't Sleep

Here's a few pics first ... this was outside today:


St. Patrick's Day

He loves to "ride" his bike down drive-ways (hence the helmet). I'm sure the neighbors love it when they see us coming.

The last of the failed Christmas card photos: "Go grab the sonogram picture. Go ahead. Just do it. It's okay. Wait, do it slower this time!" Bad idea. And yes, the tree is only half decorated because I didn't want to chase down ornaments 100 times a day!

The idea was to have him "popping" out of a wrapped gift .... but the little dude was too fast!

So this was nice. A non-smiling Santa (sitting in a paisley chair). I could tell Santa did not want to appease me by holding the sonogram photo .....but I did not care, what else did he have to do? Guess he won in the end though. Wouldn't have been so bad but all the other flashes washed it out.

So I can't sleep .... acid reflux strikes again and Jacob is not sleeping well due to allergies. I've been up to soothe him a few times and each time he gives me the sweetest and softest "thank you". Also, the neighbors dog has been barking for hours. For those that are familiar, it is the Children of the Corn's dog and I always worry he's starving! (but not enough to do anything about it. I mean, he could be corn-ized and attack!)

Jacob has been in his big boy bed all week!! I need to get a picture, but it's gone great (very, very surprisingly I should add). His sheets have little multi-colored cars on them and he likes to point each of them out to me. Let's see, I need to give Addie Jude some air time .....I'm 33 weeks along and doc said she's measuring big just like her brother (awesome) - so I'm assuming that means an early induction again. I can not wait to meet her, absolutely can not wait!! I'm going to have a daughter, how crazy and wonderful is that?? I've had what I'm hoping and assuming are normal second pregnancy thoughts such as, will Jacob feel left out or jilted? Breaks my heart to think of the possibility - but I know it's just silly mommy guilt/pregnancy anxiety kicking in. Do I have the ability to love her as much as I love him? I know that sounds bad, of course I will - it just seems impossible to have any room left in my heart because we love our little guy soo much! Can I handle a two-year old and a newborn? Will she sleep??? WILL SHE SLEEP???Ah yes, 5-7 more weeks! Tonight I asked Jacob where Addie was and he pointed to my stomach ... score ... but then he turned and pointed to Jason's stomach also. Oh. (Jason was not as amused as me! ;-)

Going to try and sleep now, we get to hang with my sister-n-law and Jacob's cousins tomorrow - er, today!
