Oh, Jacks... you are so funny these days. I just had to post some of the things you have said lately.
----"Mommy, that big truck has cupcakes!" We pulled up in the wal-mart parking lot and saw a Hostess truck with twinkies on it. I told you they were twinkies and you said," I liiikke twinkies!"
----You brought my bra to me and said," Mommy, put your boobies on!" Let me add to this that as my belly has grown and we have discussed your baby brother being inside it, you have become infactuated with my boobs.
----We are really working on potty training and this past week you said" Good job, Mommy! I'm proud of you!" while clapping after I went potty. You have also been pulling the back of our pants and saying," You poopy, Daddy?"
---- You automatically ask for crunchies in Wal-mart and chicken (Chick-fil-a) when we enter Mccain mall. Tell me you're not spoiled!
----You have been saying," Hi, Baby Brother! " and patting my belly and raising my shirt to give him sweet kisses. This weekend you asked Nanny where her baby brother was! One minute I think your begining to understand and the next I just don't know.
----You left Gammie and Popaw's house and told your Mamaw," That was fun!"
---- You were swinging at the park (for 45mins) and said," Mommy, I flying to the sky!" So, so sweet! You also love to see other kids and always say,"Hi,guys!" and try to have grown up conversations with them about who they are , who is with them and what they are doing. You love to follow the big kids around!
----When you are deciding on what you want to watch, you say,"Ummmm, I wannna watch ......". You have your own ways of telling us which show like, baby dinosaurs, big dinosaurs, Cecil ( ), wiggles, etc..
----You are really into your colors and can tell them all to us. This week you have been working on the color green and the shape of circles at school. You were siting with your blocks tracing the circles with your finger the other night and repeating, "circle" in the funniest voices.
----You name all your animals and their sounds and whether their babies of big.
----You are flirting by grinning and batting your eyelashes. You also gently touch our faces with the palm of your hand and put your hand oon our chins to bring us in slowly for a kiss. What a casanova! You also have gotten really good at saying something sute or changing the subject when you're in trouble. You are really working it at such a young age.
---- Daddy was hunting on day and you said," Daddy, hunting turkeys and go pow pow!"
---- You were watching ET with Daddy (lying on his chest) last night and you were telling him everything that was going to happen before it happened and were very animated. You talked through the whole thing.
I guess I could go on forever. You are just so vocal these days and so interested in having conversations with us. I love how sweet you are and how your imagnination is beging to work.

Baby update.....
Today our little man is 27+4 weeks old. I just can't believe that in 3months or less we will meet our second baby boy. I saw Dr. Chatelain (our perinatalogist) at work today and he was sweet enough to do an ultrasound for me. The baby looks wonderful head to toe and is measuring exactly with my dates, even though my uterus is measuring a little big! HA!! I think my babies just like large condos to grow in! The baby is so active and moved the whole time we were looking at him. One time he had his fists up and ready and Dr. Chatelain laughed that he thought Jackson may be in the room and he was just getting ready. I told him that the poor little thing was used to being on gaurd all the time. He said that the baby weighs 2lb6oz and his feet are 2 3/4 in long. I also got some great pics to show Jason. It's such a relief to have someone I trust so much tell me that our baby is perfectly healthy. I'm so thankful that Dr. Chatelain took time out for me today.
On another note, I found Jackson's baby journal the other day and began to feel really guilty that I haven't kept up with this pregnancy like I did his. I promise that I will try to do better. I see Dr. Simmons again next week so I will obtain all me stats from my past visits to post on here. Yes, I will post my weight if everyone promises to not mention it out loud!!
the pregnancy has gone pretty good so far. We started out with my gall bladder attack which is how we found out we were pregnant. Then I saw an expensive dietian ($198.00) who told me a little about a low fat diet. I initally lost a lot of weight b/c I was on a diet that included 10gms of fat a day for the first 2 months. I have to say I was looking good those first two months ! Ha!! Then it increased to 50gms and the last few weeks you don't want to know. I'll just say, if I have an attack it's all my fault for eating hostess orange cupcakes, the dairy bars pecan pie, Melissa's famous choc. chip cookies and Kay's coconut pie. I started out with no cravings then for the first 51/2 months I just wanted apples with salt, now I want good sweets. What I mean is that I don't waste my fat gms on candy, I go for the homebaked stuff. I think Easter did me in though. I haven't wanted sweets in the last two days. I think I just got scared that I wasn't going to have sweets at all b/c I failed my initial glucose screening at 24weeks. Then I went in for the four hour testing and passed 4 out of five of the tests. ( I flunked the 4th one!) It's like I was consuming everything I couldn't have. For the first 4-5 months my abd would swell considerably and hurt slightly if I ate to much or ate the wrong things and I was tired and irritable. Now I feel much better and have more energy. Is it the honeymoon period or the sweets?? I have been really thirsty the whole pregnancy and drink about 2L of water a day. I also have an occasional dr. pepper, sorry! You move all the time and seem to stay on my right side. Right now your head is on my right with your back going along the bottom of my stomach and feet on the left side. I'm guessing that your feet are what's dancing on my bladder every 10 mins. I haven't really gotten in the mood to clean house and prepare. I spent all day monday cleaning , including doors and baseboards. I'm over ready to prepare you room and Jackson's. And more than ready to give you a perfect name!!! Your dad and I are going to write down our favs b/w now and May 1st and discuss it over our 5th anniversary dinner. It's just been so hard to find something , nothing sounds right. My belly is measuring 40in round at this time. I can definitely feel you make large movements and ball up. Today I noticed a few contractions. I have noticed a few at work lately, but none at home. I think they are just braxton hicks contractions and I need to find quiet sit down times at work. My ankles are only swelling a little a work and I can still wear my regular jeans. This is the one time that I can thank jean designers for low rise pants. On the other hand, I have to have maternity shirts to cover my ever growing low rise baby belly. Jackson has started talking about baby brother more. He pats my belly and tells you hi at the strangest times, like when he wants out of something. Occasionally he raises my shirt and kisses my belly rubbing it real softly. I just hope he understands when you get here. I look so forward to the two of you being close buddies. This morning he woke up at 4am and got in bed next to me. He snuggled up as close as he could with his head buried in my next and fell asleep. I laid there enjoying every little breath he took and at the same time you were moving around. I couldn't imagine a more perfect moment with my boys. I am so lucky to feel love in its rawest form and to experience such innocence and perfection. I am truly blessed by the hands of the Lord!!
