Jakson Paul- He turned 18 months old yesterday. Where does the time go? He also, I believe, has had his first ear infection since getting tubes at the end of March. A little fluid was coming out of his ears this past Sunday so I called the ENT and it was soooo nice because they just called an ear drop prescription in instead of us having to make a trip in. Jakson's vocabulary is also skyrocketing and so is the word "No" (by both him and us) as well as timeouts. Jakson thinks hitting mommy's face is cute and funny, in turn, he gets to sit in his highchair (strapped in of course) in timeout for 2 minutes. I will ask him as a warning, "Jakson, do you want a timeout?" and without hesitation, he responds, "NO!" But is naughty anyway and it usually ends up in a timeout. Let's see...what else is our little naughty one up to. He calls my baby belly my "butt". So funny, and it took me a couple weeks to realize he was actually saying "belly button". Duh mommy. I guess my immaturity got the best of me. :) Jakson's most famous words these days are: tractor, bye-bye, mo-mo (motorcycle), bath, izzy, Daddy, Jess, Colleen, BIG truck, nack (snack), ball, outside, hot, McQueen (Lightning McQueen), Mayner (Mater)....and many more. Out of ALL THE WORDS he knows, he still calls me Dada. Guess what our first task is this summer?

Me: One week ago today we found out that we will be having a baby girl!!!! Brett and I were dead set on not finding out the sex of the baby, but I couldn't take the pressure. I just had to find out and we decided a few days before my appt. we wanted to know the gender. I've had a feeling this whole past 21 weeks that there was a little girl in there. This pregnancy has been completely different. I had spotting early on, was nauseous for a week, my boobs feel different, and I've gained half the weight I did with Jakson at this point. I just knew. I'm already overwhelmed with PINK thoughts and am going to have so much fun dressing this little lady up. Even though I'm so thankful for a baby boy first, I've been jealous while shopping with my girlfriends watching them buy all these adorable little clothes and accessories for their little girlies. Now it's my turn.
21 weeks
Looks just like her big brother ;)
Us: We decided to put our townhouse on the market. We are in no hurry, but would be so excited if it would sell this summer before the baby arrives so we can get settled in a renter home to save some moola for our BIG house. By big I don't mean mansion, but just bigger than what we have now. I would give anything for our own yard for Jakson and the new babe to play in and for Izzy to poop in =), for more storage, for a play room, and for a bigger master bathroom. That's a lot to wish for, but it's definitely reasonable. Time will tell what will happen, but for the time being, I'm making a lovely honey-do list while he's out in the garage playing and dreaming with Harley.
