Pinterest lust

I'm consumed with Pinterest. Consumed! Do you know how wonderful it is? I wish I would have thought of this idea and made millions of dollars.....

More than half way....

22 weeks. HUGE. But feeling so blessed!

I love a parade.....

Our own little Saratoga Springs had a parade! It was really fun. I've never been so close to a parade. We had a few strange encounters with men in short shorts doing high kicks in our face....awkward much? It was a great day to start off the summer and I loved spending time with the family.

This time around

I thought maybe I should do the classic "this pregnancy" post. So here are some different and same things:

At week 21 I am still throwing up everyday, maybe twice. So I guess it will be this way until the day I deliver. People are nice and always tell me that they feel bad for me but the truth is it's kinds relieving. So many of my friends are having miscarriages, trying to adopt, can't get pregnant and everytime I throw up it is a realization of how lucky I am.

Just like his two big sisters, this boy favors my right side. By the end of my pregnancy my belly is so disproportional with my right side stretched out. Weird, huh?

I'm having a hard time buying boy clothes. I'm just drawn to girl clothes. I just don't want my son to look like every other boy out there. I want him to have some style, I'm just having a hard time finding it.

I feel attractive this pregnancy. I did with my first but felt like butt the second. I like my pregnancy glow and even though my body is HUGE, I like it. I've gotten a few cat calls and whistles so maybe others like it too???

I started taking iron during my pregnancy, instead of after and it has made a huge difference in my energy.

Although, I'm still irritable I really have a new found love for my existing children. I have a intensified feeling of mommyhood and can't believe how lucky I am to have such wonderful, adorable children. I am so in awe of the beauty of my daughters and lay in bed wondering what this little boy will look like.

I've decided that I want to take family pictures while I am pregnant. Crazy? Probably, but I know after this boy comes it changes the whole dynamics of our family so I want to document it now. Besides, like I said I like this preggo body.

The biggest difference is just realizing we are having a BOY! This is so new to me. I was in shock even the second time that little penis came up on the ultrasound. I keep worrying he is going to change into a girl. By the look of it, that's not going to happen.

yummy.....

My current hobby is looking up recipes for anything and everything. I've become a little obsessed with food this pregnancy. I mean just look at these amazing creations!

Three pats on my back...

1. Short one month of her second birthday, Alilia has decided to be potty trained. I really don't deserve a pat on the back because I had nothing to do with this, it was all her. But can I tell you how great it is to not have to clean poop up? I'm sure there will be some slip ups, but this girl is so stubborn I think she has decided she hates diapers and will be going on the potty from now on. Hip hip hooray!

2. Had a very productive day even though it is almost 4pm and I'm still in my pajamas. I conversed in Spanish the the landscapers, thanks to online English to Spanish translator, to cut the grass shorter and they did! I made phone calls I have been dreading and putting off (Lawyers, Doctors, insurance reps) and they all ended well. Cleaned my refridgerated out (sour cream expired two months ago!). Ran the dishwasher with THREE loads! Fed my kids a well balanced lunch (not the usual mickey nuggets) and gave them a nap.

3. Have filled up most of this month with hair appointments. We really need the money and I really love doing it. I constantly get referrals from clients I have already done and I appreciate that so much!

and now on to the laundry.....

ENJOY

This is a girl I went to hair school with. AND I'M SPEECHLESS........
