one week left and 20 months old!

okay so some days i feel like a broken very broken record....
i think today is one of those days
that and i feel like a water buffalo navigating a rice patty
in conclusion to these rambling thoughts of a large pregnant lady.....
we have one more week to go....
so in the meantime of waiting and counting the days what are we doing?
trying to stay warm! and waiting patiently (okay that's a lie) for spring
spring to us means sadie can run and run and run outside instead of in the house
not that we mind her running in the house but there is only so many miles she can run in our house....
and this baby girl NEEDS to run!
she is speaking a mile a minute now and most of the words are recognizable but there are times in which none of us understand exactly what she is saying so we get the face...
the face that says you guys are crazy
we are now ready for #2
the car seats are in the car...not attached yet but at least they are in the car
the suitcase is now upstairs and out of the basement not packed but once again we are moving forward....progress is progress
the sweaters and blankets are washed and ready to receive....we have toys and rattles and lots and lots of coffee.....(for aaron, mimi and bumpa not for sadie or the baby...though i am sure sadie would love a cup of coffee)
so stay tuned and focused...
i will be working from home most of next week which means i will be lonely (yes i really like going into work)
so.....no new news from the doc.....she asked us not to have him on valentines day just b/c she has plans but she is willing to work around that if need be......
enjoy the days try and stay warm and relaxed....
we are

the button has popped!

okay so the full moon has passed ( and i am still pregnant) and we are officially in the year of the ox
happy new year!
what does the year of the ox means....
"people born under the influence of the Ox are thought to be kind, caring souls, logical, positive, filled with common sense and with their feet firmly planted on the ground"
sadie was born in the year f the boar which means....
"This type of person is reserved with those they do not know too well, but as time passes and they gain confidence, those around them may discover a lively and warm-hearted person behind that mask of aloofness."
so aside from spending my days researching the zodiac signs all has been good and quiet
my belly button has officially popped but no timer went off so i still have three more weeks okay more like 2 more weeks to wait and wait
#2 is getting chubby....when he stretches now i either have to run to the bathroom or i stop breathing.....
sadie is doing great......
she knows something is going to happen but when she is not sure.......
we have gotten A LOT of snow in the last few days
about 2 1/2 feet to 3 which for a little girl is wonderful.....
aaron and sadie were snowed in the other day and got the chance to play.....
i jealously trudged my way into work which normally would take 15 minutes to get to took me about 1 1/2 hours.....quiet time i like to say...
aaron told me out of all the days to PLEASE not go into labor during one of the biggest snow storms of the year.....
once again i am still pregnant so i was able to make his wish come true
anyways here are some pictures enjoy and we will keep you updated...
as far as this weekend goes....
we just wait, clean and organize
ps. sadie's new phrase "what's happenin"

what did the doc say......

so here's the story in a little cleveland nut shell
everybody is doing great
#2 is supposedly 7.5 lbs and is still expecting to wave his hand of royalty around some time on valentines day.....
so what does an overly large pregnant lady do for the next three weeks?
well she is not painting her toenails....
we are getting things ready
doing laundry sorting out sadie's oldies but goodies to share with her brother
and resting as much as possible...which with a 19 month old is random and sporadic but sometimes possible
i am still working and will be till the contractions hit
fingers crossed i will be working from home though starting feb 2nd
sadie is busy getting ready
putting her binky in my belly button
and hugging me saying "oh baby"
though the other day she was hugging a piece of bread saying "oh bread"
its very sweet but i hope she knows that the baby will be a little different than a piece a bread....
aside from that all is quiet in our land
just doing what we do to get things done
sadie did watch the inauguration and waved hello to obama every time he waved
than promptly asked where elmo was......
well until later enjoy the cool winter days
