2. Sleep sleep sleep! I could definitely be grateful for this every week. Dominic is SUCH a good sleeper. (Sorry Kat, not trying to rub it in ;)). I am getting more sleep now than I will when I'm back to work for sure, and then the new baby comes and I'll just never sleep again! Sleep train, people. It is worth it!
I don't know where he learned this behaviour... He found my bowl from my muffin with some remnants of butter and sugar in it. Nothing is safe anymore!
ALL the giggles! Dave, I said it was wind DOWN time!
Great sleep = happy, goofy child
3. Baby kicks <3. I am 18 weeks and 2 days pregnant, and Dave and I both felt the baby from the outside yesterday. I was so excited! It's finally starting to feel real. In some ways I feel like I love this baby/pregnancy more than my first pregnancy. Probably because I see Dom and I know sort of what to expect and the relationship we'll have with this one.
When I read back at my old posts from about 10 years ago (having one boy and pregnant with another) things were definitely tighter financially and I wish I hadn't worried about it so much. I'm glad I was frugal but I took on more and more different side jobs (example: tutoring) to compensate and feel like I missed out on just enjoying life if that makes sense. At this stage, we are comfortable and finances aren't a stress (now watch our van die tomorrow)–you'll get there! I understand David's job is different than Gary' steady salary but after our 2nd was born I got sick and was unable to go back to work and that caused a lot of stress going to one income. I wish I was able to see 10 years down the road and take a deep breathe...Just one thing I do reflect back on.
ReplyDeleteAren’t those family days amazing?! I’m so sad to be coming to the end of Brayd’s school years. I wish he could be a student forever. Our culture places so much value on work and career and having all the fancy things that people miss these years with their young kids!
