I sure do love my Boston. As my one-on-one time with him is soon coming to an end, I can't help but just stare at him sometimes and just watch him...creepy-ish?? I'm sure every mom does this. I've just been so sad to think that he'll feel sad when I can't play cars with him all day. He is such a joy.
I want to document some of the best things he does/says before I forget...
-He still has yet to get out of his bed until one of us comes in and gets him. If we don't get him within a minute or two, he starts yelling 'Dad! Dad!' and we kind of laugh because he's probably thinking like 'what the heck guys!'
-Even last night he dropped his motorcycle and called one of us in to get it...he kept saying 'Cycle fall.'
-He spends on average an hour in the tub in the mornings. He is really starting to make believe play and I think that's what entertains him. The other day he spent 2 hours in the tub.
-He talks so so much. He's really starting to say sentences and it's so cute. It's so cute when he's trying to get something out but it's too hard for him (in a nice way).
-He loves all 3 Ice Ages, Cars, Lion King (gag me), and Toy Story 3. We have all 3 Ice Ages so we trick him and rotate them so we don't get too sick of them.
-When he's watching his shows, he knows what parts are coming up and mimics it...sometimes I'm surprised by it!
-He says such good prayers, truly. I love listening to him. He doesn't need me anymore it seems. I help start out then he takes it from there...he goes 'Father, day' (Dear Heavenly Father, thank you for this day)--then starts naming all the things he likes. I make sure he says 'thanks for dad/mom/baby sister but he just keeps saying dad over and over...it can be a game sometimes. He always says 'Lucy, church, fire, toys, friends' and then other random things.
-Jeff has mentioned that he loves when Bostons goes 'Dad, what doing?' Or he goes 'Mom.....Hi.'
-I've been trying to help him understand about baby sister. Somethings he totally gets, like the bassinet, her clothes, and my belly. He goes 'baby sissy's'.
-He HAS to have kisses before bed. Again, sometimes it can be a game. 'Mom, kiss'....'Mom, kiss'....'Dad, kiss' over and over. Sometime after 20 kisses, we just leave...ha ha.
-He loves guns. I finally bought him some. He is currently shooting them in his room...he knows not to shoot mom tho...dad is okay. :)
-He really is such a sweet boy...like a nice little boy. He gives me hugs at random, kisses, and says my clothes are 'pretty.'
-He loves having friends. He has about 3...Lucy, Cal and Emma. He is the youngest and just runs after them the whole time...ha ha it's funny to watch but sometimes I feel bad for the little guy. I think sometimes they don't understand what he's saying...either do I!
-He's not potty trained, or not even interested. We have a potty chair and put him on it, but just doesn't care, and that's okay with me for now. I know this baby is coming in 4 short weeks, so after things settle down with her I'll put more time and helping him with it. I mean, he is only 2 and some months--I have time!!! Plus I've been advised to wait until after this babe because he'll revert back...I agree.
-His favorite person in the whole world is his dad. He sure loves him (and so do I!) No matter if he's in trouble or hurt he cries for him. It's cute, but I'd like him to cry for me too! ha ha
I can't get enough of him, seriously. Those are glimpses of him that I didn't want to forget!!
I wanted to update on pregnancy as well...today marks 35 weeks. I had a doc apt and it went okay. Let me back up a little--with Boston I was preeclamptic and induced at 38 weeks and 4 days. The problems started to arise at my 38 week apt and was induced 4 days later. I had high blood pressure and protein in my urine. No major swelling, but just off. Fast forward to today, I had protein in my urine, but blood pressure was not high. Um...this is too early for this to happen. I'm not too worried yet because my doc isn't worried. Luckily I see him every week now, so HOPEFULLY my body is fighting something off and will go back to normal OR things will remain the same OR possibly worse next week. I wouldn't be THIS worried if I wasn't 35 weeks...if I was like 37 weeks I would be a little more 'okay.' Sooo...that happened today and it's been on my mind. I'm really not ready yet...not like 'things' aren't ready, but I'm not ready for her to come...I want her to stay put for at least 3 more weeks.
BUT other than that I really do feel great. Just the usual getting uncomfortable because it's near the end. I've had some hurtful braxton hicks, which is normal...nothing ever steady. Jeff is wonderful and faithfully massages me feet every night AND I'm nesting like a mad women.
ANYWAY!! There's so much going on right now but I'll update more on that later! It's all very exciting!!!!
