Prune Juice and Pregnancy

Now that I've revealed our news, I can finally talk openly about my pregnancy adventures. First I'll say morning nausea is awful, and Ollie is not willing to put off eating breakfast until after 10:00. At least 5 times a week I've been dry heaving as I prepare his prune juice and cereal, but that doesn't stop his demanding cries for food. You'd think he'd be more considerate since I'm "making" a playmate for him!

After finally pulling myself together, Grammie came to pick up Ollie and I was off to work. I spent the day in Walmart and ran into 3 people that already knew I was pregnant. Word travels fast in A-town.

By the time I got home I was exhausted. Daddy prepared dinner while I went to Grammie's to pick up Ollie. As usual, he had a blast today swimming in the pool and playing with Grammie. I'm beginning to think he's probably disappointed when I'm off work because I'm not nearly as much fun as his grandmothers.

After dinner, Ollie and I both passed out for cat naps while Daddy did the dishes. There is nothing like a 15 minute nap to energize and regroup. When Ollie woke up, we played on the floor with his two favorite toys: a baby-sized beach ball and John Deere tractor.

Before we knew it, it was 7:50 and getting close to bed time. I squeezed in a bath against my better judgment because I don't ever want to be accused of having a dirty baby. By the time he ate his cereal and bottle he was over tired and getting worked up as I sang Love Me Tender. Just as I thought he was dozing off...full-on crying with tears and everything set in. It took me a good 15 minutes to calm him down and then he finally fell asleep. I should know better than to push bedtime, especially since I melt down practically the same way when I'm exhausted. Hopefully I'll learn this lesson before #2 comes along.

I'm off to bed so I don't have a melt down. Speck and I are sleepy.
