3 Weeks Left And It Feels Like An Eternity!

9 months is an extremely long time to be pregnant and the final 3 weeks is just pure torture! Technically at this point any day could be the day...and 15 minutes ago wouldn't have been soon enough! We all know that I am NOT one of those happy go lucky annoying pregnant ladies that just LOVES to be pregnant! Now don't get me wrong, I have been so blessed to be able to get pregnant and to have two healthy pregnancies, but the reality is that pregnancy is just not fun for me...at all! Here is a list of reasons why:

1. I get FAT...REALLY FAT!

2. Morning sickness is just plain awful!

3. The smell of my husband and everything else around me makes me wish I only had 4 senses.

4. The veins in my legs look like I gave Greyson purple and green markers and let him go to town...and those support hose are extremely sexy, especially in the middle of the summer with shorts and flip flops.

5. My chest and butt are the same size as my stomach...GROSS!

6. Hot water on my face annoys the heck out of me. I have to adjust the shower temp if I plan on getting my face wet.

7. I go from angry hormonal woman to an emotional wreck in less time than a Bugatti Veyron goes from 0-60mph (That's less than 2.6 seconds for those of you wondering.)

8. I have nothing to wear because NOTHING looks cute on me!

9. Between the "mask of pregnancy" and the lovely pimples, my skin is disgusting.

10. My hair is greasy and frizzy.

11. I can't breathe, sleep, or bend over past 28 weeks.

12. My feet...just chop them off.

13. Can you say HEARTBURN?!!

14. I have actually resorted to peeing in a cup when I am out and about because I refuse to stop every 15 minutes and get Greyson out of his carseat to do the whole bathroom thing.

I could easily go on and on, but this is more than enough to remind me (and Chad) that 2 kids is just the perfect number for us!

Greyson's 2nd Birthday

I can't believe my baby is 2 years old! This year's birthday theme was "Party Like A Rockstar". Greyson's love for music and instruments was my inspiration.


The Invitation


"Hollywood Walk of Fame" which included all of the kid's names.


The trick here was to keep Greyson off the back of the couch so I wouldn't have to hang the stars a hundred times before the party started.


Each party favor bag contained a microphone, a kazoo, star stickers, guitar bubbles, a rockstar tattoo, yogurt covered pretzel rods made to look like drum sticks, and a CD which included Greyson's favorite songs.


Auntie Whitney made cupcakes with music notes on them. We also had star-shaped peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.


Here is the birthday boy sitting in the birthday chair! He is very excited about blowing out his birthday candle!


Please keep your eyes on Greyson and not the fat pregnant lady!

He tried to blow out the candle a few times but I couldn't seem to get the candle in the line of fire...I had to help a little.


What kid doesn't love cupcakes?!

Carter

Brayden


Ella, Julia, and Isabel or Julia, Ella and Isabel :-)

Birthday Hug


Diego & Regan


Auntie Whitney tattooed all of the kiddos.


Griffin apparently doesn't have a very high pain tolerance.


Daddy and Greyson were found in the laundry room taking a little breather from all of the chaos. I find it very hard to believe that they may actually have been doing laundry!


For some reason I never got a picture of Charlie! This was actually taken at Diego's birthday party a few days later, but I had to include him!!! That look he is giving you says it all!!!

We had a HUGE hail storm toward the end of Greyson's birthday party...it had to be a record breaker for Arizona, especially in October. The smallest piece of hail was the size of a golf ball. There were a ton of dents in all of our cars along with a little house damage too. This is a picture of Greyson and Diego watching the hail come down.

We waited until after the party to open Greyson's presents. 2 year olds just don't have it in them to sit and watch another 2 year old open presents. This gift was a big hit with Greyson, but not so much with Chad. He thinks it's just an accident waiting to happen...time will tell.

Greyson had a great time at his party and he is so proud to say that he is 2 now. I am having a difficult time accepting the fact that 2 years went by so quickly. My baby boy turned into a kid overnight! Daddy and I are so proud of you Greyson. You amaze us daily. We love you more than you will ever know.

Uh Oh...He Regressed!

Update...We did great with the potty training for just about 3 months and then we hit a brick wall. Greyson lost interest completely and started having way too many accidents! Since he started so young, we decided to just take a little break until after the new year. The baby will be here within the next month and I'm sure that probably won't help the situation. For now he is back in diapers. It would be nice if I actually got to enjoy this little break from visiting the bathroom umpteen times wherever we go! Unfortunately, I'm 35 weeks pregnant and that is just not going to happen :-)
