Jaxon-isms and baby 2

Jax said some really cute things today I thought I would jot down. First I asked him what his baby sisters name should be and he looks at me and says, "Uuummm.... Applegate!" Which I thought was adorable. He recently got some gummys in church and was shouting "apple, applegate, apple, applegate!" so I shouldn't have been too suprised but it was cute that he knew it was a name.

Also, we were watching an old TV show today and the phone kept ringing (a pesky mother in law episode). He would get very upset and say "the clock! Stop the clock!!!" A few minutes later we went upstairs for his bath. As soon as we got there he started crying. I calmed him down and asked why he was upset he said "that clock was scary!!" so we had to shut the door and hide from the clock until he got in the bath and forgot about it. Poor guy didn't even know what a ringing phone sounded like!

I guess now would be a good time to jot down a few thoughts about baby number 2. I have been pretty quiet up until now but I was pretty sick the first 20 weeks and trying to keep it hush hush until I got my insurance all worked out. It turned out to be worth it because everything is all worked out and I have a healthy little girl!

First off, I couldn't have been more surprised that it was a girl! I thought from WAY before we thought about number 2 that it would be a boy. I could just feel it. When I finally did get pregnant I just knew in my heart it was a boy. I was ready for a boy. I was glad we wouldn't have to buy more stuff, excited for Jax to have a brother, had 3 names lined up. I think I wouldn't have been more surprised if the tech had said it was a llama! We are now excited and I have a ton of friend who are willing to help me with clothes and learning to make bows. I am excited!

I am however quite irked with the little lady. I told David I am NOT having another girl as long as I live. I was almost constantly nauseous, and do NOT show cutely like I did with Jax. I just look fat. I am not a fan of being pregnant with girls. I can understand why people get frustrated with pregnancy and are ready to be done. I NEVER felt like that with Jax. I remember being okay with being pregnant forever. Sure, it was hard to roll over in bed and I peed 5 times a night but I loved it. This time, I'm ready to be done and meet little miss. She also kicks a lot more than Jax did which is nice. I love to sit in bed and feel her kick. Well, actually she's breech so I guess its punching I feel more than anything.

So that's our life right now. Work is going well and I enjoy my days. It sure is making this pregnancy FLY by! Jax is growing up and is such a sweet heart. I love him with all that I have and cannot imagine not waking up to his smile and giggles every morning. He bring so much joy to everyone and I am constantly hearing storys from his teachers and subs about cute things he does during the day. That kid is a charmer! Just like daddy :)
