So proud

My baby girl turns 3 this weekend...I can't believe it. I say it every year when her birthday comes around, but I just want to thank her so much. She has changed everything about my life and for the best. I remember being this nervous mom holding this just hours old baby. It went by so fast it was a blur almost now. I remember every milestone and being so excited for each and every one. This little girl may throw huge fits at time, doesn't like potty training nor not getting her way. But THIS little girl gives me a huge and tells me she slept good, says sweet dreams to dallas before bed, kisses me for no reason, asks for hugs, says please and thank you, and so many other things I think about. She loves so unconditionally. She's amazing.. I often get stressed and think how am I going to give this little girl the best opportunity, because she's so special she needs the best. Then when I calm down and see the special little girl enjoy the simple things, like sharing popcorn with her dad at night I know it will be ok. Another thing I say every year is there no words to describe my love for her...and another year is down and I'm still unable to put it in words. I hope one day I might be able to come up with something in words to tell her...besides I love you Reese.

I really hope the birthday girl has a great time on Saturday. We are taking her to chucky cheese, coming back and doing cake and presents here. Even though it's just family, I'm trying to make it special with the cake and decorations. She deserves a special birthday. We are finishing up her birthday shopping on Thursday. We are taking dallas with us to pick up his new car seat. He will be in a big boy car seat now. Still rear facing until he is big enough though.

Oh and I had so much fun with Jason in Las Vegas. The concert was awesome and just being there alone with him was even better. We are so thankful for these little things we get to do.

A special day marked in my heart. Feb 18th 2012. TB. The very last day I was so lucky to have spent with you. We celebrated Reese's birthday and had planned to see each other in a couple weeks. I still keep the toy you had bought for Reese. You didn't realize it, but she was too young to play with it. I keep it in the box unopened...I'm not sure maybe I will keep it forever. You are so very missed. Think of you always.

Where is my pregnancy appetite?

The last few days have went very long.... Our weekend was great having Jason home for 3 days. We went and got the kids a few things, Jason and I had a little date night in with chef salads, I made a Minnion cake and then the supper bowl. Sunday about 10 min into the game Reese starting vomiting and was really sick. We had to pause the game, shampoo carpets and get her settled and cleaned up enough. Luckily she wanted to just go lay in bed and sleep. The game was terrible as were the commercials, terrible Super Bowl.

I haven't been able to eat much, I'm not sick but I just don't have an appetite for much. It's rare I would want something really bad. So when I do, I take advantage of it. I've been loving peanut butter sandwiches. No jelly just all peanut butter. I can't stop craving green tea. I've been drinking it instead of coffee and I always want more. I feel like this pregnancy I am going to have a big baby, not sure why just do. I have an appt this week and I can't wait to hear the heartbeat. I will have another ultrasound in about 3 weeks. The doctor and I haven't discussed csection dates yet, I'm hoping we will soon. I like having things planned in advanced. But typically they do the csection at 39 weeks, that would land around July 9th or 10th. I must say, it is getting hard not knowing the sex of the baby. It will be worth it I know, but I look at stuff and sometimes really want to know. I had a dream the other night that I had the baby and it was a boy! We shall see, but either way healthy is what I want. I'm beginning to think it would be so fun for dallas to have a brother, and for Reese to be our only girl.

Dallas has really started to try and talk a lot more. He has been making all these funny noises it's pretty funny. On Sunday we went to Home Depot and bought these cars themed decals for one if the walls in his room. He was napping when we out them up so when he did see it he started screaming and making all these noises. He really likes them and he loves cars too. Yesterday he was in an awesome mood, usually he is pretty clingy but not yesterday. He's so cute it's hard for me not to pick him up or hold him all the time. I've been letting him tough things out more recently and not whine and pick him up. It's hard but good for him too, so maybe that's part of his change lately. Also he's still going strong on sleeping good. It's a nice break for Jason and I.
