2nd trimester energy boost? yeah, not really mostly I want to sleep but what else is new? ha ha ha I really am the type of person that could happily sleep 10-12 hours a night and still take a nap but having a toddler means that doesn't happen... I just may have been guilty of doing this when I was pregnant with Michelle.
So we've been up to everything and nothing all at once lately (pretty normal for us). Joe finished summer school and it was a great experience but he will probably need to do something a little more lucrative next summer. He had about a two week break between when he finished with that and when he started having stuff for his new job with Nampa.
July 30th Joe had a new teacher mtg and then that afternoon we went and had our ultrasound. So fun! I always love getting to see my baby and now this little one is big enough that it really looks like a baby. The gender was very clear as a BOY! I was just anxious to know either way but it did confirm our early feelings. We did get to see a couple sweet profile shots but he was moving too much for the tech to capture them.
This little boy is very wiggly now which is pretty fun at this point most of the time but he is definitely sitting lower than Michelle did (maybe there is something to that old wives tale after all?).
I of course had to go to Carter's and buy something boy once we found out (hey, it was on clearance!) but the fun story from that trip was sweet big sister Michelle. Her comfort item is one of those mini blanket/ stuffed animal things and we call it her snuggle buddy. When we went into the store she ran up to one and said "Snuggle buddy baby brother!" Such a sweetie- if it hadn't had a rattle in it I probably would have given in and bought it!
Michelle is starting to get very excited about baby brother and seems to be understanding it more. She will sing song "baby brother, baby brother, baby brother" quite often and occasionally adds in "mommy's tummy" for good measure.
During Joe's break we went to West Yellowstone for a long weekend (closer to a week really). It was fun to get to stop in Rexburg and have dinnewith a good couple friend of ours that had a 2 week old baby girl.
We got to see the Playmill's productions of "Les Miserables" and "Joseph" as well as sneaking a little bit of "Beauty and the Beast" which honestly we have just seen so many times...ha ha ha. Joe's dad was playing the priest in Les Mis and subbing for Roger in Beauty as Maurice (Belle's father).
Michelle's highlight was definitely the "Tea Party with Belle"- she is still telling me all about it. It's just a quick little thing where the kiddos get to meet Belle and a couple other characters and they get lemonade and a cookie. But they also get a rose and tiara. Yesterday Michelle came up to me just to remind me "and princess gave me flower....and a crown...Belle! Belle!" (the last part she does as they did to call belle to come out and join them ha ha ha)
Update: She STILL tells me about how they called for "Belle!" and the princess gave her a big cookie and her flower and crown- I think we could still be hearing about this one next summer ha ha ha
had to get her popcorn- this was her favorite thing last year ;)
Sambo did a great job of course!
