Pirate Party Planning- Pinterest Pstyle.

It's officially February and, as Baby Daddy Natey Poo reminded me, in twelve days we will have a two year old.  It's normal that I'm sad about that right?

I miss the little baby that exists now only in my memory and millions of pictures.  But I am so in love with the little boy who is a whiz at puzzles, loves trains, climbs like a monkey, and has a magical laugh.

Two of his favorite things right now are pirates and trains.  Soooooo.... we are going to give him a Pirate-Train Party! Naturally.  And of course, I turned to Pinterest for inspiration.

Here are some goodies I've found.

Happy Birthday Nana

Yesterday was Nana's birthday.  It was not Owen's birthday.  Tricky kid. 

I didn't expect another 3 days of contractions like I had with Oliver... but it looks like that's the direction we are going in.  So far we are on two consecutive early, sleepless mornings of intense contractions lasting 1.5+min and getting as close as 8 min apart that dissappear the moment I get out of bed.  Isn't moving around supposed to HELP contractions?  Well if it's going to be like Oliver, Owen should be here by Wednesday.  I was really hoping to just go into labor and not have this on and off thing again.  Bummer.

It would have been so convenient to go into labor yesterday with my mom dad and sister visiting so we could spend mom's birthday together.  Kids can never be convenient can they?  I've been at this "mom" thing less than 2 years and I already know nothing is easy!

 

Cake was yummy. For realz.

Happy Birthday to My Old Man

I tease my husband that he's old.  He falls asleep on the couch and being awake past 10:30 is difficult.  Not to mention the noises that come with sitting down and getting up.  Truth is...I'm exactly the same way!  Sad right?  We are two peas in a pod...soul mates...made for each other.  And I would like to take a minute to wish my Baby Daddy Natey Poo a very Happy 26th! (side note- Choo Choo Soul just played on Disney Jr. and I just realized as it was ending it was a birthday song...cute, Oliver will have to dance to it for Nate later.)

Nate is so amazing I want to make his day special...but with my SAHM budget and achy pregnant body I'm already off to a bad start.  I couldn't even pull myself out of bed to make him breakfast, good thing he loves cereal.  It may take me all day, but I WILL make him dinner tonight! I WILL I WILL I WILL!!!!  Even though I just want to lie down with pillows propped under various body parts and read.  Dinner tonight will be Aji de Gallina... when I was pregnant with Oliver for whatever reason I wanted spicy Peruvian food and learned how to make this.  It's a hit with Nate, so...I will make it for him because he deserves it! 

The Little Stinker inside my belly doesn't seem to understand that on Daddy's birthday we need to get things done.  He is literally weighing me down!  Since Tuesday it has been sooooooooo hard for me to move, and his movements are getting really uncomfortable and painful.  I thought I'd go early with Oliver, but that was more wishful thinking.  I really feel this time there's more of a chance I go early...but what do I know, I may snap out of it in a few days.  I'm actually kind of nervous to go early this time.  I'm 35 weeks 2 days and I really want to make it to 37 weeks before I say, "OK baby, get out here!"  I'm sure I will, but I've been miserable so the thought's crossed my mind.  We've still got quite of bit of getting ready to do.  Take it easy on me Baby, so I can finish getting ready for you!
