Happy



Wow I haven't written a blog in a while! I'm allllmost 18 weeks and although I've been feeling the baby (irregularly) move for a few weeks now, last night was the first time I've felt strong, solid kicks! It's so exciting and boy am I massive!! This pregnancy has been so different from my first, I'm super emotional, ravenously hungry all the time, I crave weird foods (today it was wasabi), I'm dead on my feet exhausted half of the week, I actually throw-up from time to time! Brushing my teeth is like russian roulette, there's at least a 75% chance that it'll make me vomit or dry-heave!

My days are filled with chasing my little boy around so I definitely don't have as much time to dote on the details of this pregnancy. Xander is getting so big and independent. He's such a daddy's boy and wanders around chanting "Dah-eeee" or "Dah-daaaaay" most of the day. (He says a variety of words like Hi, Cat, Duck, Mama etc.. but 'Daddy' is his constant!) I feel kind of bad right now because I'm clearly the boring parent that just wants to take a nap or relax on the couch or read/sing to him whereas Daddy comes home and it's time to plaaaaay or go to the park or roll on the floor playing or tickling or other fun stuff that I can't do anymore! Oh well, at least he's getting it from one of us!

He's quite happy to spend his entire day playing in our backyard and chasing his best buddy Deaf Cat around! Unfortunately he's taken a liking to pulling on Deafie's legs or tail (which I've been teaching him he's not allowed to do) but sweet little Deafie just tolerates it and doesn't even run away! He'll be 14 months in a few days and has his first dentist appointment tomorrow! He needs a haircut so bad, it looks like he has a mullet when his hair is wet (it dries in curls though!!) but we never seem to find the time to take him to the barber! It's hard in NZ cuz everything closes so damn early. The day after his dentist appointment, it'll be mine and Josh's 7 year anniversary! It feels like a million years ago when we were 17 and 19 and falling in love!! :)

I feel like time is passing in such a blur with Xander, I want to hold on tightly to every little memory but I know from experience that in a few months we'll be looking back trying to remember the cute things he used to do, how he says Hi to everyone in the grocery store, or the way he dances around the living room when he gets to watch Timmy Time... and then a few months after THAT he'll have a brand new baby brother or sister to compete with! I just wish time would slow down a little bit. I just had him last year and he just keeps growing and changing-- which is a good thing but you know.. kind of sad too.

We'll be finding out on my birthday (May 1st!) if this baby is a boy or a girl. I know from experience that I'll adore another little boy to pieces but I'll also be a shade disappointed that I'm still not getting a little girl. I've been trying to prepare myself for it because I just KNOW this baby is a boy. I'm happy with whatever we get but I do want my Lily and all the dresses and tea parties that come with her! Josh swears it's a girl but he was right last time, what are the odds that he's right and I'm wrong AGAIN? haha.
