Life as of late.

33 weeks pregnant today.  This baby weighs approximately 4 lbs!  We're getting really close.  They say everything looks good.  She is measuring RIGHT on target.  Her head isn't in position yet, but they aren't worried at this point!


Owen has been an expert patience tester lately.  I can confidently say that this is the toughest season we've gone through with this little boy.  He is so very smart.  Knows how to try to manipulate almost any situation.  Urgh.  Reasoning with a 2 year old is darn near impossible, and each day is quite the task.  I'm left feeling utterly DRAINED by 815 each night.  He's amazing, and i wouldn't change him...but he certainly isn't easy right now!!!!   
Literally the ONLY ways i'm staying sane are these:
1. Nap time each day.
*i can count on naptime. He sleeps the SAME time each day, and it's a good 2 hours of QUIET!
2. Babysitters
*We are trying/needing to get a sitter at least twice a month for date-nights or even just "mom days"
3. Outside
*this seems to be the one place he is happy (until it's time to leave of course...but thats ALWAYS a battle)




oh...and to give you a little taste of this "manipulation" i speak of...this is one of his newest things...
the "Sad face"


he says "mamma i sad...." and does this-

yes he's cute. 
No, this face does NOT work with me.
