I'll Try Again Tomorrow.

Typical School Day:
I pick Henry up from his class and chat with his teachers about his latest antics.  We go home, he eats a healthy snack.  We play, dance, sing, wrestle, cuddle, go on a walk, etc. until Sam gets home.  We cook a Pinterest recipe for dinner.  The only time we turn on the tv is at 7:00 to watch the Rangers, and Henry is only allowed to have his pacifier at bedtime.

Today:
I pick Henry up from his class and he is wearing a skin-tight size 6 month onesie, and no pants or shoes.  He got dirty today, and apparently I haven't put another change of clothes in his diaper bag since the beginning of school last September.  We go home and I let Henry have off-brand Cinnamon Toast Crunch for snack.  I sit my huge pregnant butt on the couch, and Henry and I eat an entire bag of barbecue potato chips while watching The Bachelorette.  He switches back and forth between not one, but two pacifiers in his hand.  Sam gets home and we order a pizza for dinner.

I'll try again tomorrow.

Boy or Girl?

I'm 24 weeks along now, and so far this pregnancy has been so different from Henry's.  I haven't had tons of nausea (just the normal "I feel gross and I'm going to vomit" stuff), and this one is SOOOOO much calmer than Henry was.  Henry was violent in there.  There were times I was sure he was about to bust out.  But this one is very calm and gentle.  Let's hope that trend continues.

I am trying to stay active, but I'm reaching the point where "Head, Shoulders, Knees, and Toes" and wrestling with Henry is getting uncomfortable.  My wrestling moves may need to go on hiatus for the next couple of months.

24 Weeks!

I thought it would be fun to do some gender predictor quizzes based on old wives tales.  What do you think-boy or girl?

Are you carrying high or low?         Low-boy

What is baby's heart rate?       Under 140-boy

How did your skin change?       Skin got better-boy

Do you have a lot of nausea?      Not a lot- boy

Do you have cravings?       Sweets-girl

Did your legs get more hairy with pregnancy?       No-girl

What is the shape of your abdomen?       Mostly front-boy

Are your feet warmer or colder compared to before pregnancy?      Warmer-girl

More fruit cravings or more meat/cheese cravings?       Meat/cheese-boy

Has baby's dad gained weight?       No-girl

Has your nose increased in size?       No-girl

Have you experienced more headaches?      Yes-boy

I also looked at a Chinese gender chart that is allegedly more than 90% accurate, and it said girl.

So basically, it's about 50-50.    We'll find out in about 16 weeks!

Summer Lovin'

We are LOVING summer!  It hasn't been too miserably hot, so we have been able to spend lots of time outside.

Playing with his buddy, Blaise

Making a Father's Day gift for Sam

Did some outdoor finger/body painting

We found the BEST $5 entertainment-a splash pad in Trophy Club.  I could (almost) just let him loose to enjoy the water.  We went with his friends Hudson, Maddox, and Jaxon.  He is so lucky to have lots of equally energetic little boys to play with!

 Every Friday we have a playdate with a big group of friends.  Last Friday we had a water day!

Talking to sweet Sydney

I think this is his first popsicle!

Throwing the ball with Molly

 My parents and brother came in for a couple of days on their way to San Fransisco.  We went to a Ranger game, SEA Life Aquarium in Grapevine, and wandered around the Grapevine Mills Mall.

His first Strawberry Chill at the Ranger game

Riding the carousel :(

Even with all the outdoor fun, he has found time to write and perform his own music.  This song is called "Heyyyyy." It's worth the 26 seconds.  It will change your life.
