Mark and I have been married for 8 years on the 1st. 8 years really flew by. I had another dr's appt on the 1st - my BP was 100/70 again which seems to be pretty standard for me. Now I go to the dr every week - it's becoming more and more real and this pregnancy totally passed me by. I only took 2 belly photos so far and with Jack I took one every month. I guess that's what happens though with the 2nd baby, cuz once you have one baby, you don't have the time to do everything you did while pregnant with the first.
Jack's 3rd Birthday party was a hit - I made him a Yo Gabba Gabba cake and it turned out really well. He loved it. We had YGG decorations and it was supposed to be really hot the day of his party, but it turned out beautiful. He had a few friends from his MDO class stop by and his teacher stopped by. He thought it was great. There were quite a few people that didn't make it and didn't tell me they weren't coming - so we've decided that for Jack's birthday next year, we're just going to do a mini vacation and go somewhere where we know Jack will have a great time, like the Dells, or a waterpark or something. I guess I'm to the point where I want to celebrate my kids' lives and not have to worry about who's coming and who's not to their party. Too stressful.
My last day of work is the 21st - can't believe it. That's in 2 days! It'll be sad to leave, but I will be back in September and I'm sure those 3 months will fly by. And then it'll be even harder to leave both my kids with a brand new sitter! My scheduled C-section is for June 28 at 7.30 am, which means we have to be at the hospital for 5.30. Ugh..at least no 34 hours of labor this time. We're so excited to meet her and even more excited to see how Jack reacts to her. Will keep you posted!!

May 2010
My boys were so good to me on Mother's Day - I got flowers, a basket full of goodies and some power tools!! Hahaa..some of you may think power tools aren't a great gift - but let me tell you - I wanted them sooo bad and was so happy to have them!
We've been working on baby girl's room putting up wainscoting...what a nightmare - but it'll look great when it's done.
Jack's been going to my friend Allison's house for the month and is having fun there. They live on a farm and have 3 other kids. There's been a few days when he's been able to go back to Francine's as well, so this month is working out well as far as sitters' go. I was full of stress when I didn't know who was going to watch my little boy.
We've been going to the dr every 2 weeks now and baby girl's HB is always perfect and found right away. They even let Jack help with the doppler and he gets a kick out of it. My blood pressure has been around 114/66 which is great. Not too many problems with swelling yet, though I know when I start to swell to take it easy and put my feet up and relax. Sometimes I find it hard with Jack though because I want to play with him as well - but he's actually been really good about it and knows that Mommy has to rest.
Jack has a little program at Mother's Day Out and it was so precious. They sang all the songs they learned since the beginning of the school year and had little hand motions to go along with it. It was so cute. Jack saw me and kept waving and then told his little friend Noah that I was his mom. It was adorable - Mark wasn't able to make it because it was on a Thursday night so I videoed some of it. Then there was an ice cream social after that which was nice.
His last day at MDO was the 26th - was kinda sad and bittersweet - already old enough to have a last day at school. My baby's getting too big too fast!
Went up to Mom and Dad's for Memorial Day and had a good time just hanging out and relaxing. The boys were able to play outside and have fun. We had a cookout and the following day had brunch at Gma and Gpa's apartment complex. Jack was the life of the party, as usual. Pretty soon it's his 3rd Birthday - it's a Yo Gabba Gabba theme this year. I can't even believe he's gonna be 3!!! I still remember the day he was born like it was yesterday!
