Margaux's day

Well for the first time in quite awhile Margaux has been hit with allergy crud and congestion. Hopefully she'll get through this pretty quickly. This morning, with all her congestion she enjoyed one of her favorite things. Watching Poppa feed the cows from Mommy and Daddy's bedroom window.

Margaux also used the potty for the first time, all on her own after her bath tonight. She got out of the tub and walked her naked little booty over to the chair and sat down. Then she peed and told me. I quit trying to get her to use the potty a while ago. She just wasn't interested in it. So I quit asking her to even sit on it. Tonight it was all her, I was pretty pumped.

Whats around the bend.

Well, we are now at 22 weeks in the pregnancy of baby boy Silvey. This pregnancy has been very different than Margaux. I have trouble catching my breath, I feel sickly sometimes when I eat or haven’t eaten in a while, I was nauseated much further into the pregnancy. I get dizzy easily.  He moves around much more than Margaux did. My belly and body look different than Margaux. With Margaux I grew wider and then grew out. This baby I have grown outwards and much bigger. I noticed last night I still have a waist. I lost my waist with Margaux first thing, before My belly started to grow. Maybe my hips have just widened making the illusion that I have a waist. Who knows.

We haven’t made any decisions on names. I have 3 first names picked out and I float between them. Part of me thinks I may have to wait till I meet him and see his face.

Margaux is not really aware of what is going on. Sometimes she says there is a baby in Mommy’s belly, but she really doesn’t know what all is going on. I believe she is establishing pecking order though. The other night she and her daddy laid their heads on the baby, talked to the baby, patted the belly. Then Margaux stood up and slapped the heck out of my belly. I guess she’s making sure brother knows who’s boss.

We are actually about to really begin on building this house. Hopefully we will break ground this month. At this point I don’t have much hopes for being in the house by the time the baby boy arrives, but it shouldn’t be too long after. I’m sure it is going to be stressful. I looked at Matt the other day and said, “when your not working, your going to be working. And that is the way it is going to be for the both of us for the next few months. It’s going to suck, we are going to get pissed about it, but that’s just the way its going to have to be until this house gets done.”

Pray we don’t kill each other :) I'm sure that this baby will keep us motivated and focused.
