Carter has been growing like a little weed. I can't believe almost a year has gone by. He waves bye-bye, walks with a toy that has wheels (but not yet completely on his own), has five teeth (three on the top, two on the bottom), and much to my chagrin climbs on the couch and then jumps off onto the boppy pillow. The last is his new trick and he is very proud of himself for that. Household chores are getting more difficult too. If I try to load the dishwasher he climbs on the door and tries to take out all the utensils. If I am making a meal, he is all in the fridge, eating the mustard bottle and trying to snag another juice box. He is still sleeping in our bed. I am not really sure what to do about this one. I know if I let him cry it out, he will probably give up and start sleeping in his crib, but I don't want him to feel scared or abandoned. Plus he is such a cuddle bug. Soon there will be a time where he won't want to even hug his mom and dad, so I want to cherish this time as much as possible.
As for baby duece, he is moving around quite a bit now. I believe he is somewhere between 2-3 lbs. now. I am 26 weeks and 4 days along now. Almost in our last trimester! I cannot believe it. This pregnancy has flown by!!! However, I am so ready to not be pregnant! Except for about four months, I have been pregnant since March of 2006. I have spent my 25th and 26th birthdays without a cocktail or a night out on the town. The last two halloweens I have attended no parties. And I have spent the majority of the last two years in pants with elastic waists. Needless to say, I am looking forward to wearing all my old clothes!
