Happy Fourth

A is a little ghosty looking from the sunscreen, and I am a little roly-poly due to pregnancy.  We had fun, A enjoyed himself and then conked out and took a 3 hour nap.  We did steak for dinner with my SIL and BIL and right now Mr. Bob is doing some proof reading frenzy for his new gig and I am hanging out on the interwebz listening to the fireworks, trying to avoid thinking about work tomorrow.  My job is going pretty well but I feel like I could be doing so much better.  However I found a home child care provider who watches A in the morning so I can have some uninterrupted time to work. It is really hard to leave him with someone else and go back to work especially now that I have been home with him for almost a year.  However in this economy you have to do what you have to do and I don't feel like moving in with my in-laws and living solely on my husbands salary as a part time attorney in order to be a SAHM.  I guess I am selfish like that.  Plus we need the money in order to be able afford this next kid.  Speaking of this kid I am starting to feel some movement and still incredible amounts of sickness just not necessarily only morning sickness.  I will have a good day and then bam I have a really really crappy day.  Seems more like a roller coaster than I had with the first.  A in the last couple of days has stopped tossing everything automatically overboard when he is done and is instead pushing it to the side of his tray.  He is trying to talk so hard but I can't always understand him.  He says bye bye and waves, he says shoe, and occasionally Hi and Hello and Ball.  Not all very consistently but he is understanding what I say even more. He is walking/running as fast as he can but he is not coordinated enough to pull it off all of the time and so has some bad falls now and again.  He is still a picky eater and never seems to eat enough.  I spend my free time watching Korean Dramas which is fun and addicting like crazy.  Our garden did finally get planted and is surviving aside from the occasional plant that has succumbed to snails.  Otherwise I am just trying to keep up with everything around him and finding it hard so I am in survival mode until the baby comes and then we will see what happens.  If you actually read our blog because you find my posts informative that is good.  We do like to see journal type posts of ourselves and long after they have been written we find them refreshing and fun, so I most likely will be putting more of these back in here.  We do this blog for ourselves and don't mind if people want to follow along but don't expect any consistency.  Have a great holiday.
