My love bugs

I am always shocked to hear how Miley is really putting the world together now and can communicate more than I expect. It is silly things but it is awesome.

This morning I was going to the bathroom and she said "mommy wait for me!" A simple statement but not something I have taught her she just heard it and understood.
Then she shut the door behind me and I was asking her why she did it and she said "I don't know hand did it." so I told her to open it...knowing she is too small. She tried then turned to me looking defeated and said "Can't mommy, too little, sorry." with the most pitiful voice and face!

We were getting out of the van at Target and I was carrying her she tried to get down and said "Walk mommy, snow gone!" I kinda laughed but then realized this morning I told her she couldn't walk to the van b/c there was snow on the ground and I didn't want her slipping. So amazing!

Then in the pet store she was going around naming the colors and the animals and her little brain was just working up a storm. She even told me she didn't want certain puppies jumping on her b/c they would knock her over. She knew the little ones wouldn't but the bigger ones would!

It is a daily thing...if not hourly. I just can't get enough of her! She is amazing!

Tommi is also taking my breath away these days! She is SO into this having a little brother thing. She will love on "Hugo" many times during the day and talk to him. It is awesome. Yesterday he was moving a ton and I told her to come watch my belly move and she did then she put her hand on it and felt him kick a bunch. She was SO excited! Usually he stops when she has her hand there and she is too impatient to wait. So I was excited she got to feel him! She is just amazing!

I am just blessed all around with these girls and they are so different yet so much love comes from both of them! They are pickles but also the sweetest things around! I'm a blessed momma!

I'm not ready...

This is totally my vent and documentation of my feelings....

I knew Tommi was going to starts school...duh! And I was pumped for her! I thought heck what are all these moms stressing about your kid just goes to school and it is fine. Yeah...the joke is on me!

Tomorrow I go to register Tommi for kindergarten...that is NOT the hard part. It will be the day I drop her off at school...when I have to go through a 8 hour day with out my baby, my side kick, my Tommi girl! I'm not sure how to do it...yes I will have MANY distractions but she is my girl!

I'm SO ready for her to blossom and watch her grow but school is a whole new ball game!

Wow this is gonna be tough! I have SO many anxieties about everything from dropping her off or letting my MIL take her to picking her up or letting my MIL bring her home. I mean I know it is logical to let her take her and pick her up since she is going to the school anyway but at the same time...she is in a car with someone else with out me...one of my biggest fears! Seriously it is crippling at times if I don't control it.

We will survive and I believe we will both thrive from the separation and the new level of connection but I'm scared! I'm not only scared of being away from her but I'm scared of mean kids. I had so many kids who hurt my sweet innocent heart and it hurt enough to go through it myself but to watch her is going to be even harder!

Then again I have a VERY strong willed and amazing child who have the ability to love like no other. She is also extremely clever. She is going to lead the pack and be such a light to others!

It will be in God's hands b/c there is no way I can do this alone!

Land of the living...

I feel like I can finally say we are back to the land of the living. Our run with sickness went on and on...with Miley throwing up all night one night, TJ getting sick, and me battling a cough/cold for 2 weeks!

But we are healthy and the only effects we are seeing...well feeling now are my tailbone still being sore. But I can live with that for sure!!!

Now if we can only keep the warm weather and not get anymore snow life will be even better!

So life is pretty darn good! Woohoo!

I am 27 weeks pregnant today...3 months from due and entering the final trimester! Holy moly where has time gone! But I could not be more excited to meet this little man that is so crazy in my belly all the time.
Honestly I'm a bit nervous how Miley is going to handle a new baby but like I was nervous with having Miley it will work out! She will figure it out and we will rock this!

I have to go this week and register Tommi for Kindergarten! Again...where has time gone?!? She will be amazing but I am so used to her being my side kick I am not liking the idea of her being away all day! But it again will work out and she will be AMAZING!!! She is SO stinking smart and an amazing friend. I look forward to watching her blossom!

Miley is a hoot...what's new with that! She is growing up so much with her communication and just things she does! I'm SO proud of her! She is DEFINITELY 2 years old! Holy fits!!! But we are working on them and getting through it day by day. She is still a picky/finicky eater but we will get somewhere one day. She LOVES chicken nuggets right now. I guess it is not the worst thing ever.
We just met up with my parents in Richmond this past weekend and she sure does love her big mama and pappy! She had not seen them in almost a month and has talked about them everyday. So when they showed up to the tournament she didn't know how to contain herself! The entire day she did not want to leave big mama's side! Then when it came to goodbye...I wanted to curl up in a ball and cry myself. She was SO upset she was hysterical for a while in the car and blamed me thinking I was taking her away from them as punishment. Anytime we get ready to go somewhere or arrive anywhere she says "Big mama, Pappy, Rooney, Dean, Lilly?!" Actually tonight when I put her to bed I said "I will see you in the morning!" She said "and Pappy too!" We thankfully get to see them this coming weekend but she is ready now! Hopefully this is just a phase b/c it is very hard to take her away when she does that!

Hugo Mickey Hank....whatever his name is :) officially has a name. I told TJ he could name him but then the name he chose just didn't settle right with me. So I talked to him about it and told him I would go with it if his heart was set but wasn't really fully on board. He decided to change it and I'm hoping he is as happy with it. I think it is PERFECT and can not wait to tell the world when he arrives! He is going to be so loved and awesome!!!

Overall I'm feeling really good. My tailbone is still sore and I'm having normal pregnancy problems like heartburn and trouble leaning over. But overall I feel better now than I did at 22 weeks and before. I was having some serious pain in my legs but that is gone! Hopefully for good or for a while. I was told by the midwife that it would probably get worse with time but woohoo it is gone! I still don't sleep all that well but again pregnancy has it's downfalls!
I am LOVING this crazy little boy's movements and just carrying him!

Haha I'm gonna be a mom of 3 kids! I don't feel old enough or mature enough for this but love it!!! Now here is to us all staying healthy!!! No more sickness!!!!
