Jocelyn

This little girl talks alot! While grocery shopping last week an older man came up and said, "she sure is a talker. She sounds like she's 6!" I love hearing the funny things that she says.When we are driving in the car we either listen to her music (Soul Sister, Boom Boom, B.O.B. airplanes, or sometimes actual kid music like Laurie Berkner), or we talk. She can seriously talk my ear off already.

The other day while driving in the car- Joce: "When we crash our car will break."

                                                          Me: "How do you know that?"

                                                          Joce: "Betause it's true."

We drove past some cows- Joce: "Lots of cows. What are they eating?"

                                           Me: "Grass."

                                           Joce: Laughs hard, then says, "Do chickens eat grass?"

                                           Me: "No."

                                           Joce: "What do they eat? Maybe hay?"

We drove past some sheep- Joce: "Can I ride the lambies?"

                                           Me: "No."

                                           Joce: "Maybe... after I get married I can ride them!?" Sounding so excited! :)

She talks a lot about baby brother.

I was in the other room and I heard- "Mom! Mom!"

                                                 Me: "What?"

                                                 Joce: "I need you! Where's the baby brother??"

                                                 Me: "In my tummy."

                                                 Joce: "Is he coming out today?"

Yesterday when I said it was time for lunch,

                        she said, "Can baby brother please eat with us? He's hungry too."

Jocelyn loves to tell me about her "dreams" lately.  They usually go something like this:

"Once upon time some curly hair. Then the bugs came. It was scary. (mumble mumble some other things that make no sense). And that was my dream."  This all started when I told her about a dream I had when someone cut her hair all off. As I was telling her my dream, she kept saying, "and what else?" I would tell her some more, then she would say, "and what else?"  So I have started telling her little made up stories and she LOVES them. It doesn't even matter what I say, she thinks it's the best thing ever.

I love being a mommy! I'm so glad I have my little sidekick to keep me company all day.

More Baby Belly and 3/4 of the way done!

24 WEEKS

28 WEEKS

30 WEEKS

It's funny how you forget what being pregnant feels like. I already think there is no way I can get any bigger- even though I know I will. I don't remember Jocelyn moving nearly as much as this little guy.  He is a squirmy kid! I've been feeling really good, minus the constant heartburn. I even have quite a bit of energy right now. I've actually been making dinner every other day and a treat of some kind almost every day. :) Last night Casey and I moved our bedroom to Jocelyn's old smaller room and she is now in our old room, which is bigger since they'll be sharing. It amazed me how much stuff we had in two rooms! Holy moly! We moved stuff in closets and sorted through everything. I've been in a big time deep cleaning mood
lately and I'm loving that. When you live in a 700 sq foot apartment you don't have room for anything extra! I have such a hard time getting rid of stuff, but Casey is a pro. (Maybe a little too much since he tried to get rid of his baby blankets. I had to tell him no way on that! We even each other out good, because I want to save everything.) I have big plans for Joce and baby boy's room.  Here's to hoping I can get sewing/making/crafting and get it all done in the next 2 months!

Potty Talk

Jocelyn has been potty trained since end of May, but she just recently started wearing panties at night and nap and not having any accidents! This is very exciting, but Jocelyn definitely has issues with going to the potty multiple times a night before she actually falls asleep. I'm thinking it is her perfect excuse to stay up longer because when she yells, "uh-oh. I need to go potty" I can't ignore it. Tonight she went potty before going to bed. Then 5 minutes after she was in bed we heard the "uh-oh. I need to go potty." (This is always said the exact same.) She went and went back to bed.  About 15 minutes later we again heard the "uh-oh..."  She went into the bathroom and after sitting on the pot for a good 10 minutes, I said to her, "You have 2 more minutes." She responded, "I'm not ready to be wiped yet. Don't ask me, alright."

Side note- earlier tonight she forgot to put her little seat on the potty down, usually this doesn't matter and she just goes about her business, but this time she fell right in!! I mean all the way. She soaked the dress she was wearing and her feet were in the air. She was scared and started crying. Case and I tried so hard not to let her see us laughing. It was funny and I'm so wishing I grabbed my camera.
