So, four months and no update. Again, I've been busy... but it's bloggin' time!
Darren updates:
He walks/, jabbers, sometimes says a word and I know he understands me. He just acts like he doesn't. He has 9-12 teeth, four on top and bottom in the front and I know for sure one molar, but he was cutting three others. It's kind of a pain getting in there to see his teeth. He loves brushing, it's a game and he gets really upset when it's over. We don't do it as often as we should, but I'm the only one who does it. We'll try to remedy that. The last week he's gotten on a different sleep schedule; which at this point in being pregnant is a nightmare. He goes to sleep at 8 or 9pm and wakes up at 6am. I know that's a good sleep schedule, but considering I'm the only one taking care of him; it's kind of a pain in the arse(Mostly because I can't sleep until around 4am... bah.). He loves watching Despicable me, Lion King, The Lorax(new one), How to train a Dragon and a couple others he'll tolerate when I'm sick of the above.
He still eats pretty much anything and everything, he loves hot dogs, clementines, bananas, fried eggs, PB&J sandwiches, mashed potatoes with sour cream, chicken nuggets, mac 'n cheese and dipping things(he dips the carrot in the ranch, licks it off and dips again... double dipper...). He drinks exclusively out of a sippy cup or out of one of my water bottles of there isn't too much liquid in it. He could be drinking out of a normal cup, but every time I give him a chance he fills his mouth with liquid and then lets it dribble out of his mouth. He does it because daddy thinks it's funny... mmm hmmm.
Also, he has an issue when I enforce the rules. He doesn't listen when I say no. I gotta step it up as an enforcer now... bah.
He's in an awkward clothing phase at the moment, he's too tall for 12 month pants but too skinny for 18 month(they sag around his butt and you can see like half of his diaper... I'll be damned if I have one of those douchie kids...); although I dress him in the latter anyways. Same with 12 and 18 month shirts. Onsies: I've strictly moved him up into 18 month and they are a little long and baggy, but he's comfy. Footie pajamas I had a surprise, I got him an 18 month size at Walmart. The orange jack o lantern ones to be specific and he's too tall. So it's 24 month footie PJ's or I have to start getting him two piece sets... Where did my tiny baby go?
Tony updates:
He reenlisted for another three years with 12 month stability here. Or something along those lines, basically we're here for at least another year. After that year he can see if there are spots in Colorado or somewhere else. Since they are planning another deployment while we are here it'll be over a year before we find out if we can go somewhere else. But that's ok. I've gotten kinda used to it out here. Although Tony would like more opportunities to visit home. I pretty sure that's all I can say about deployment and stuff. Ummmm, oh! He's in Arkansas for two weeks on field training and he'll be back Monday. Also we'll be taking the maximum allowed amount of leave days for Christmas and around that time frame.
Ok, time for preggo updates:
I'm due on the 26th of October and I feel freaking huge. Pretty sure I'm not much bigger with this one than I was with Darren. But I still feel like it. Haven't been as sick this time, the major part of my throwing up ended in the second trimester. Although I still have bad days. Today being one of them. We didn't find out what this one was, but I'm suspecting another boy. Darren fights with it too much to be a girl. Although it if comes out a girl I'd be pleasantly surprised.(Especially since I would love an Owl theme for this one and most Owl things are girl oriented.)
I'm kinda more hormone prone this time around. Not sure if it's just been the stress or if I'm destined to become one of those constantly preggo raging ladies. The only times I preggo rage are when Tony and Darren gang up on me. Tony will be ignoring something I asked him to do forever ago and when I get around to doing it myself, Darren decides he needs to be picked up or something and goes into mega whining/screaming mode. Which, to be honest combined with Tony's lack of paying attention to when I need him to step it up and help with the parenting gets me to the point that I want to yell at one or both of them. I don't like yelling, I don't even like raising my voice. So when I have to do it because someone is too focused on MW3 I get kinda angry. Which at that point he'll sometimes come get Darren and put the barrier up so he can't get into the kitchen.... but that produces more screaming baby and he ignores it and goes back to his game. I don't get loud angry though, I get deadly quiet angry. Let's just say he ends up doing whatever I asked him to in the first place, it hasn't happened more than a few times. But it didn't happen at all last pregnancy. So it's kinda retarded this time around.
I have also had several moments where I've started crying for no reason. No idea why. Just more hormones I guess.
Anyways, that's all for now. I'll try to keep it updated a bit more towards Halloween. We'll see.
