i forgot to mention what josiah did yesterday morning. i went in their room to find jeremiah’s potty spilled all over. josiah had poured the pee from the container into the rest of the potty, then dumped that over. oh i was so upset with him! i still can’t believe he did it. it took me a while to forgive him yesterday. but he’s so adorable and sweet i can’t hold it against him forever.
and i also keep forgetting to mention to julie - josiah absolutely LOVES the quilt you made him. he wasn’t allowed to use it in his crib, because of my fear of suffocation. but he has used it in the pack ‘n’ play for quite some time. he asks for his “ball blankie”. and now he ONLY wants to use that one in his new big boy bed. it’s really cute - i tried to cover it up with others last night, so he would be warm enough, but he wouldn’t have it. he said “don wannit” about any other blanket. too cute!! just thought i’d tell you that your quilt is loved!

did you read that? 32 weeks, people!

the boys have both been sick - jeremiah had vomiting. life is pretty miserable around here when my guys are sick. actually, jerry’s been feeling icky too. i’m praying i don’t catch it bad, because when mama’s sick….everything’s a mess.

i had a busy morning (i hate driving) so that’s it for now…hopefully i’ll post again before next week.

God bless!

jeremiah, in his perfect english accent “mother bear?”

me “yes, baby bear?”

“i’d like to call you jenn.”

“sorry baby bear, it’s rude for kids to call their parents by their first names.”

“mother bear?”

“yes, baby bear?”

“what can i call you?”

“mother, mom, mommy, mama, moms, mommers….”

josiah pipes up “mommers!”

well i’m 31 weeks now! baby jamin is very active. he’s always moving around doing something. i feel elbows, feet, knees, bottom, lol… i think josiah was more active tho, so that’s a good sign. lol. one major monkey boy around here is enough for me right now! i can’t wait to meet my baby!!
i had a dr’s appt on monday. i haven’t been commenting on them because nothing happens! monday i was there for about 5 minutes. they check my weight (i don’t know what it was there, but tonight it is 169.5 (i usually check in the am before i eat…), then my bp, which was perfect, then he checks the heartbeat, which was perfect, and checks my fundal height, which i assume was normal. i am now on the every two weeks schedule. i’m thankful they moved their office - it’s now about 5 minutes away instead of 15 minutes away. plus, it’s a one-story building, walk right in, instead of walking wayyyyy from the parking lot, upstairs, down the hall…lol.

i don’t know if i mentioned this, but my new dr delivers at three hospitals. so my plan is just to go wherever he is at the time. one is st francis, where i delivered both boys. the other two are community south (i have friends who delivered there and really like it) and johnson memorial (my friend amanda delivered all three there, and loves it). so i figure whichever one, i will be fine!

as for as me, i’m doing ok. i am sooooo tired all the time. like exhausted. and my joints are pretty sore a lot of the time (mainly pelvic area). i am majorly constipated, and having the same horrid problem i had with both the boys. i have really horrible moody days, and days where i am perfectly normal. sigh. i wish i could balance my hormones!

i have been digiscrapping a lot still. i need to update the gallery again!! i always forget to do it - i need to just do what julie does, and upload there when i upload to my required sites…lol.

i hope everyone is doing well. i miss you all! i’m sorry i have been such a stranger lately.

i’m 30 weeks today. wow. 10 weeks to go! who would have thought it would seem to go so quickly, looking back? now i’ll really be counting down those days…on tuesday, my sweet baby boy turned 22 months old. SNIFFLE. can you believe it? two more months and he’ll be two years old. it’s really hard for me to believe!!

not really because of that, but because it was time, he moved to his toddler bed on monday. he is doing SOOOOO great!!! much better than i thought he would. not only that, but the boys are in a new room! we switched the playroom to their bedroom, and their bedroom to the playroom. jeremiah likes to tell people “mama and papa switched ‘em”.
it is amazing how much nicer it is…we really should have done it long ago. the closet in the new playroom is perfect for toys, and the closet in the new bedroom is much better suited for clothing. i think it will fit all three boys’ clothes in there well. the crib is in the bedroom too, just needing a mattress to be ready for jamin. josiah now calls the crib “jamin’s bed” - i will have to get a recording of it, because it doesn’t sound much like jamin, but you still know that’s what he’s saying. lol. speaking of a recording, i got one of him tickling jerry’s feet yesterday - it is sooo cute i have to share it!

but back to the rooms! the current bedroom is still a lovely peach color, so it will be painted! we are thinking a white or light blue base with geometric (mainly squares and rectangles) all around, in red, blue, green, orange and yellow. the theme will still be sporty, but we’ll leave room to add things like cars, trucks, etc - whatever they want in the future. jerry and i are both excited about the project. the boys seem to really like the switch too!

here are a few pics of them in their new room:

this one is josiah after i said, “show mama your big boy bed” and he got up and said “see, big boy bed!” holding up his pillow to make sure i saw the bed. LOL!

so both the boys are sick now. josiah started getting sick on monday, was bad tuesday, getting better yesterday, and yesterday jeremiah started getting that sicky look in his eyes, and all last night was up crying needing me. today he has a runny nose, cough, fever, and is saying his throat and belly hurts. josiah still has a runny nose and a little cough, but his appetite is slowly returning. i hate it when my babies are sick! and boy do they act like babies when they’re sick! lol. poor guys. i’m afraid i’m getting it too. it starts with major uncontrollable sneezing, and i already had that yesterday. today i have the watery, itchy eyes and the scratchy throat. ugh. just what i need!

i found out today that i passed my blood glucose test - no gestational diabetes this time around!!!!! i am soooooo thrilled about this…i was really worried i would have it again. i think that i have the biggest loser to thank (remember, i did it with online friends?)! 5-6 months post partum, i was 170. my official weight for starting the biggest loser was 167. and here i am, with a bit over 2 and a half months left of my pregnancy, and i’m just now 165!!!! this is a total miracle, and i’m SURE this weight change has everything to do with not having GD this time around. i am just soooooo incredibly thankful… what a HUGE weight off my mind and heart!!!!!

the other yippee - i got to meet sweet katrina, an online friend, and her dear family today!! we met at chic-fil-a. my boys ADORED her girls. and i think it was mutual. lol. we had such pleasant fellowship - the conversation was so natural, like we’d known each other forever. even when we had silent moments, it didn’t feel awkward at all (at least not to me!). her dear hubby watched the kids for much of the time so that we could chat (he’s a great guy!!!). it was such a blessing to meet her, and i hope we get to visit again soon!

oh, check out the new ticker for jamin on the sidebar. if you click the dates, it will show you different things - like time passed and time left to go, etc. it’s super cool!

i apologize - i didn’t realize HOW long it had been until my sister in law mentioned it last night. oops!

i’m 29 weeks today. isn’t that crazy?? still, it seems so close but so far away!!! i would like to note that i’m 165 today…still two lbs under what i was when i started trying to lose weight, back in january of 06. isn’t that amazing? i’m really hoping the weight difference makes a difference with the gestational diabetes. i did a look back to try to figure out what i weighed around this time with josiah’s pregnancy, but i can’t find that i posted it. i was probably too embarrassed.
i took the gestational diabetes test on monday, and am still awaiting the results. i’m trying really hard not to be worried about it…i can’t change anything now, so if i have it again, i’ll just have to deal!! but i still hope i don’t have it!

my little niece turned one on sunday, and we also went to her party. she is sooooo cute. i have to share a pic or two….

and guess what? she’s gonna be a big sister! yep, i’m gonna be an aunt again!! when natalie told jeremiah he was going to get a new cousin, he said “what does that mean?” and she said she had a baby in her belly. and he said “jamin?!” really incredulous. lol. when he finally realized what she meant, he got a little grumpy. i think he’s feeling a bit put-out by all the other kids taking some of his spotlight. but i’m really excited for them!! natalie and i are pregnant together…if only for a few months. reagan and the baby will be about the same distance in age as jeremiah and josiah are.

i have been digiscrapping a LOT. if you go to the gallery, you can see many new layouts in the digiscrap section. i haven’t figured out how to allow comments, tho i know there is a way…

the boys get cuter and smarter and ornerier every day! i can’t believe josiah will be two soon. sigh. he climbed out of his crib last night…so if jerry has time before work today, we are going to put the toddler bed in there for him. he has been wanting to be in a big boy bed for quite a while, so it will be neat for him. he always climbs into jeremiahs bed and covers up. lol.

yesterday i was telling the boys how they are my beautiful boys. jeremiah said “and you’re our beautiful mama!” awww isn’t he sweet?

well i promised a little update, so there it is. i still need to get a new preggo pic of me taken to put up…i have been really bad about that! i don’t think i have one since 23 weeks. i can’t find the tripod, and jerry just doesn’t have lots of time for it…
