Happy New Year 2012!

Like always, I can't believe how fast 2011 flew by. When I got pregnant this time I told myself I wouldn't worry about anything for the baby til after the holidays, and then I will really buckle down. Well, now that they are over, I have this strong feeling of urgency and anxiety (are you surprised because I am not). I am 8 months (32 weeks) pregnant and just now starting my to-do list. The only problem is, whenever I feel like I have so much to do and overwhelmed, my natural instinct is to just shut down, close my eyes and pretend its not there. I don't even know where to start. So I decided to break it down and start with the nursery...oh oops, B is still in the nursery. Ok, not a problem lets go buy him furniture and set up his new big boy room. Check! Now what? Nursing stuff. Bottles, pump equipment organization, nipples and bottle cleaners... check! One by one this will be my life for the next couple of months until this baby comes, all while working full time and taking care of a 2 year old. Whoa is me. lol

Speaking of B's new room, we've had two full nights in it now and so far, not so bad. The first night required me to lay in bed with him until he fell asleep, and the second now required Mike (I was working the next morning) to get up with him a couple times. He did, however, fall asleep on his own though. I guess we can't expect to get everything we want right away. I will say I am SO glad I got a video monitor. I can see if he is staying in bed or getting into trouble and it is nice, I don't care what other people say.

For new baby we did something we never did while I was pregnant with B. I got a 3d ultrasound and video. Now, I would never pay for something like this, but since it was free it was fun to do. Baby was laying with its hand under its cheek and cuddling its foot. Super cute. Excited to meet this little person. Names are still not set in stone but we have some options narrowed down. Now for Dr.s appointment to see what damage I did to my weight with holiday food. Oh well, I don't care. I have an excuse and the Dr. won't care either. More or less curious. If I didn't gain a whole lot its because B and I have been dancing our a$$ off. Thats his new favorite thing to do, to just dance and I love dancing with him.
