Crazy things have been happening in the family!! My sister, Emily, had an appendectomy last week, then my mom broke her foot on Sunday while we were visiting, and now my brother-in-law has a stomach bug...I'm beginning to think I'm next!
I'm currently writing this blog because I cannot sleep. Ethan is out of town to California, and that always makes me a little restless when he's gone. We went to the store, and on the way home I said, "We're going home!" Reece said, "Home....dada!" I told him dada would be home tomorrow...which means nothing to a toddler. We miss daddy when he's gone!
The sleeplessness could also be because I had soda tonight at dinner, which I have not had caffine due to the pregnancy for a LONG time!! (Probably 3 months at least) My body is probably freaking out. But the soda tasted so good with the creole food I had at Yats! Yummy! Come visit me and I will take you there to eat, and you will love it! Ethan thinks it's too "authentic" which for him means there are too many unidentifiable objects in the food, or objects that he doesn't like. But I loved it! Reece tried some of mine and kept saying, "Hot!" which for him meant "spicy!" Wish I had leftovers to eat in the middle of the night when I wake up hungry!!
Sleeplessness could also just be a pregnancy thing, but I've been pretty exhausted lately, it shouldn't be an issue. Perhaps I have too many things running though my brain such as...what color to paint Reece's new room when it comes time? When do we move him to a new room/bed? How is the labor going to go this time around? (I've been watching too many episodes of "A Baby Story" on tv...I cry every time a baby is born just because of the amazing-ness of it, but at this point it might be partially due to the fact that I'm thinking about the pain!) Is it a boy or girl? And on and on I could go...
I have been craving and eating pickle, tomato, cheese and miracle whip sandwiches....YUM! I cannot get enough. Still cannot tolerate/don't want coffee, much to my dismay, but it's just as well. Can't say that I'm really craving anything else in particular...just healthy foods in general. For a while I was on a Penn Station sandwich kick.
Reece had his first whole piece of candy this weekend...I let him have a tootsie roll pop...and the flavor was banana! I hadn't heard the news of a new flavor! I despise all things banana flavored...but Reece loved it to the tootsie roll center. By the end he had sticky all over, but boy did he look like he enjoyed that sucker. We made sure to brush his little teeth really well that night!! He also went through the dark woods with a large group of kids to trick or treat at my parents house. Some of the people handing out candy jumped out and said boo! None of it phased him! He was cool as a cucumber. What a guy. And he said "Thank you" to everyone who put candy in his little pumpkin bucket (which used to be mine when I was little). Boy, does he love that bucket. Anything pumpkin these days, he loves.
Well, I'll try and get to sleep now. Wish me luck.
