Is it really almost the end of 2014? Is it just me or did this year just fly by? Seriously, I blinked and it was over. Not sure if its because I'm in my thirties (which everyone says time goes faster the older you get) or if its because we have a kid now (everyone says time goes faster when you have a kid). Maybe a combination of both. Boh! So nothing too interesting going on at the moment. Roman is getting bigger, he's almost 15 months. When do I stop telling people how many months he is and just start saying years? When he's like a year and half? I don't want to be one of those moms saying "oh he's 34 months".
He's reaching the stage were he's super clingy and if we don't pick him up he just goes into hysterics. I just let him have his moment he usually calms down after a minute or two. Its kind of funny we just step over him and leave him there on the floor throwing a fit. Then he opens his eyes and is like, hey? They didn't pay attention to me, oh well and goes about playing with a toy or doing something else. Now at the meetings he's getting very fidgety. He'll sit for a little bit, like 15 minutes at the beginning then he's like, ok I'm done. Put me down. Then he starts twisting and turning and making all kinds of noise and we have to get up with him to the back. Please tell me this phase doesn't last forever. We can distract him with books for a few minutes but then he throws everything on the floor. So I'm at a lost what to do. Any helpful advice would be greatly appreciated.
He really is a good kid though, even though I made him sound like a little terror up there. lol. He loves playing outside and just exploring around the yard. He follows Leela everywhere its so cute. He's getting slightly better about throwing his food on the floor when he eats. Now he only does it when he's done eating. Hooray, progress! He loves music, he stomps his little feet and claps his hands when there is music on.
His vocabulary is still the same, mama, daddy, doggie, see and dank-eww (thank you). He also says uh-uh all the time, he'll say it for anything. He doesn't really get the concept of no yet. But if we don't want him to touch something we tell him its hot. He knows what that means. It was funny last night at the meeting he was sitting on Shelly's lap and he wanted to grab her earrings but we told him no that they were hot and he shook his hand like oooh hot and wouldn't touch them. Mmm what else, what else. That's all I can think of right now. We want to start trying to potty train him. It scares me a little bit but I know it has to be done at some point and I would really like him potty trained before baby number two arrives. So that'll be interesting.
As far as pregnancy number two goes, its coming along. Once I hit 12 weeks the nausea finally passed, Thank Goodness! Its horrible feeling nauseous all the time. Besides being ravenously hungry I forget there is a baby in my belly. With Roman I had time to sit around and read a bunch of pregnancy books/websites and think about the little life that was growing. I read my baby tracking apps being like, oh today he's the size of a lemon or whatever. Now I'm chasing after roman and when I do sit around I take a nap, lol! My doctor's office was just like oh baby number two you already know all the rules so your good. And meanwhile I'm thinking, hey where's my little care package for new moms with all the instructions I'm supposed to follow. I know its only been a year and half but I forgot half the stuff I'm not supposed to eat. All I can remember there is something about fish/shellfish and all meat needs to be well done. Good thing I'm totally off fish right now, the sight of them grosses me out. No particular cravings, well maybe McDonald's cheeseburgers but that's about it. Which is funny because with Roman I couldn't eat hamburgers I just ate my weight in chicken tenders from Bojangles and spicy chicken sandwiches from Wendy's. Which I do still enjoy but I don't crave them like last time. Of course now that I'm writing about it I want a chicken sandwich. So, so far so good. All my tests have checked out normal and baby is growing fine. I am managing to exercise this pregnancy and since I started out smaller then when I got pregnant with Roman I'm keeping my weight down. I'm hoping not to gain 50 pounds this pregnancy but if I do, oh well. We find out what we are having on January 15th. Taking all guesses on what you think we are having ;) So that's about it. Until next year. And I leave you with this comparison shot, I was three and half months pregnant with Roman in the first picture.
