Half-Way There
Well, I'm 20 weeks pregnant now. We find out the gender on Thursday. I'm very excited to find out. The baby actually kicked my finger and at that one moment I thought it was a girl. But, all along I've been saying it's a boy. We'll see.
My son had he second birthday on April 26th. We had a party at the park and I hired an Elmo person to come. All the kids had fun. My son son was sick with a stomach bug and ear infection so he didn't feel that well but I saved him a cupcake for later. His development continues to surprise me. I know all the books say that this is a period of major growth for them but to see it in person is crazy. I got him a puzzle that I thought was way too advanced for him. He does it on his own. He counts, speaks in 4 word sentences, knows his shapes and sings. What a change from 18 months. He is growing up way too fast. I am going to cry when he no longer wants to cuddle with his mommy or give me kisses = ( At this point, I can't imagine how I could love the next child as much as I do my son. He fills my heart up so much and I am so smitten with him that I just don't see how I could love another as much. My son is so sweet (ignoring tantrums, etc.) and fun to be around. I really hope I'm not messing things up by having another child.
We are moving out of the city in less than a month. I think we will love the space but I'm going to hate the commute. Hopefully we can work it out okay with work. Lots of people do it. So can we. I grew up in the South where I drove everywhere so it's not like I'm a stranger to living away from things but the city has really spoiled me for having everything close. We are car hunting now and that's just one more headache. I haven't had a car in 5 years - they are much more expensive than I remember (haven't bought one in 8 years). Good news is we can probably get some money off with the way the economy is right now.
Have to go now - we are off to the park to meet up with my son's friends. Trying to get as many play dates in before we leave. Happy Memorial Day!
