Oh how I've missed you...

SLEEP!  I finally was able to get some well rested sleep last night.  I decided to try configuring the pregnancy body pillow hubby bought me into my own little caccoon.  It worked!  I slept for 2-3 hour stretches.  I was so comfortable.  I didn't want to wake up this morning.  Good thing Xander plays in his bed when he wakes up.  I always here him talking to himself, but rarely will he fuss.
Now onto other things...total randomness!

Lately Xander has been pooping out the back of his diaper, up half way his back when he wakes up.  Nasty!  So, I've been thinking I will put size 4 on him at night?  Size 3's fit him so well otherwise, but it's an almost every morning event that he has poop up his back.  Oh, his big poops are too much for me...lol. 

Today is my little brother's 30th birthday.

And now some pictures...

We woke up yesterday to SNOW on the ground...finally!  It's already melting today, but it was a fun 2 minutes out in it.  Once he started moving around in it, snow got on his arms and he wasn't too happy about that.  Mom had to get the first snow picture though.

 My belly feels like it's on fire

It feels like there's a ton of bricks on it

I feel like I'm carrying around an elephant

I find it weird that some days it's more difficult to feel the baby move at this point.  I'd think I'd feel everything as big as she's getting in the cramped apartment she's rented.

I'm ready for this little one to arrive, but extremely nervous at the same time.

I'm obsessed with reading the What. to. Expect forum.

.....

Xander's excited to wear his new shirt...ok, maybe mom is!

We received the pack and play, I put it up yesterday and Xander's been taking his naps in it.  He's doing great...so far.

(I wanted to upload a video of him walking, but it's not working...I'll keep trying)

Xander's finally taken to walking.  After 2 weeks or so of him hating it, terrified, and wanting to sit on his bumper...he's finally going.  He's still really unstable, so not anywhere close to going on his own, but this is a huge start.

Now I show him his car and he'll pop right up and get going.  He even uses his highchair as his walker lately.

So proud of him!

 .....

We can finally say...next month...when people ask when we're due!

 We still haven't decided what to do with the baby room.  Oh my!

I feel like I'm so unprepared for this baby because her room is not perpared for her.  When Xander came home he had a room ready for him...and we didn't even know if we would have a boy or girl when i did his room.  So why is this baby's room so difficult?

I have 10 outfits for her...that's it so far

Honestly, I'm scared to buy anything for her or do anything to prepare because I'm terrified of a still-birth.  My cousin just went through this last year and it has me freaking out that this could happen.

  

Without further ado...our baby girl's name will be... 

 STERLING!
