It's official

Well, its official. My son has figured out that he can get out of his bed without me coming to get him...

I knew this day was coming, I expected it, but now that its here I'm wondering what the future holds.

Maybe that's a little dramatic.

Or maybe not.

My new experience started last night. Bed time is 8pm. He doesn't always go to sleep at 8 but he knows that he goes to bed and if he reads his books or plays with a truck....I really don't care. As long as he stays in his bed because eventually he always falls asleep.

Last night I heard a ton of banging coming from his room. I peek and he is opening and closing the drawers on a dresser. As soon as I say his name he quick runs back to his bed and jumps on.

Obviously he was not doing ANYTHING he wasn't suppose to

Tell him to stay in bed, 5 minutes later, I hear it again, repeat same scenario.

This time I make sure he understands, he doesn't have to go to sleep but he does have to stay in his bed

"o-k mama"

Walk by his room a few minutes later and he is sitting on the farthest edge of his bed so he can see in the hallway, he his technically still on his bed so he's got me there. As I walk by he gives me a HUGE grin. Mostly a "I'm still doing what you told me to do" type grin.

At this point I attempt to talk stern to him telling him to get in bed but I utterly fail at this as I cannot stop laughing, which leads him to throw his head back and laugh heartily.

I guess I need to work on my "poker faces" for parenting.

I gave up and let him be...checking on him a while later, he had finally fell asleep, and the perfect little angel that he is, always listening to his mama...he was still on his bed. =)

Pink, Pink and more Pink

It's a girl! Boedy will officially have a little sister next March! I am very excited but also very nervous as up to now it has been "all boy" Boedy already tells people he is getting a "sissa" =)

Moving day is in 3 days! I can't believe it is already so close! Also a mix of excitement and nervousness, but I think it will be good. It will be so nice to actually be a family again and live our lives together again. I'm anxious for Boedy to get settled into his new life and make the adjustments before baby comes too!

I'm sad to be leaving my workplace. I've spent so much time here the last 2.5 years and it will be sad to leave my co-workers who have become my 'work family' I don't think it has set in that I will not be seeing these people everyday and I am so thankful to have found such wonderful people at work. I will miss them so much and not sure how I will adjust to not being here everyday!

But life is an adventure and I am excited for our next phase. I am excited to be a full time mom and wife and spend more time with my husband, son (and soon to be daughter) I am excited about pursuing my education more and I am so thankful that i am being given this opportunity to acutally do these things as I realize that not very many people are able to. And I am glad that I am able to see how lucky I am for this opportunity and be able to appreciate it and thank God for the blessings in our lives. My marriage is happy and my son is happy and I am happy. I'm sure my daughter is happy with all that yummy chocolate I ate earlier =) What more could you ask for??

The countdown begins!

T-minus 18 days until we find out the sex of the new baby! Boy or Girl??? We will have the answer soon!

T-minus 28 days until the big move. Work has been notified and it is now official! Still a little nervous about my transition from working mom to stay at home mom but guess we'll see how it goes!

I am just starting to feel baby kick here and there and am remembering the one positive of being pregnant. There is nothing like that feeling. I am so far doing well in 2 trimester. Morning sickness=gone, backache? Not here yet. Ahhh....the honeymoon of pregnancy. Biggest issue in my life these days? I have nothing to wear. So I guess I'm doing pretty d@mn good!

Mission for this weekend...maternity shopping!! I wouldn't say I'm excited about expanding my wardrobe with expanding clothes but it will sure be nice to have more than 1 pair of pants that fit!

And lastly? My adorable little 2 year old...who is never difficult and always does exactly what i want him to do when I want him to do it. (sarcasm inserted here)
