Baby #3

We are expecting again! FINALLY!!

My little boy is growing up.

I am in the process of planning Aiden's 4th party. It is so sad to know that in 3 weeks my little boy will be 4. He starts preschool this year. I just can't get over how fast kids grow up. I just want to cry thinking about it. For the past two years he has had his bday party at Chuck E. Cheese and this year I changed it to a big playground and cafe inside the Calvary Church in Souderton. I really hope he won't be disappointed because everytime he sees a Chuck E. Cheese commercial he says that is where his birthday party is. I think he will have fun but this place is so much cheaper. It is getting wayy expensive having a party at Chuck E. Cheese. I do plan on taking the kiddies there one day just to play.

I am so impressed with the way my kids have been handling daycare. When I drop them off they run and go play with their toys instead of hanging onto Mommy's legs and being pried off of me. It is getting much easier. Aiden is having less and less time outs which is just what Mommy wants to hear. =] The only problem he is having is not napping. He is scared he is going to miss something. But overall I am extremely proud of my youngins. <3

RIP

I am totally in need of an update. Some of you may not know [most of you do].. I had a miscarriage on December 3rd, 2010. We were 5 weeks along when it happened. I am getting my wisdom teeth taken out tomorrow.. which I am DEATHLY scared of. We were going to start ttc when I ovulate next wed but we decided not to. Andrew has not had a set job yet therefore we do not feel comfortable with money. TTC is put on hold =/ Very sad, but our time will come when it is suppose to come. =]

Baby Number Three.

So today we found out that we are expecting baby number three. We are both totally stoked. After getting 8 negative tests I decided to give it one more try this morning.. and sure enough it was FINALLY my day. :) I have been sucking in a little belly for the past week and finally let it all out today.. I can't wait to finally find out how far along I am.

We are hoping for a boy this time around. We have the boy name set in stone.. Bentley William Hess. We are not too positive on a girl's name yet.. We have not decided between Emma, Maycee and Elyse.

This baby we are keeping a surprise since we already have our boy and our girl... yes even though I am going to have to buy almost everything but clothing over again.. well if it's a boy I will have to buy clothing cause him and Aiden will be different season's.. I just think it will make it all that more exciting. :)

We plan to have an all natural birth, cloth diaper, extended breastfeeding, I would love to make my own babyfood. I am just so stocked. I have such high hopes to do things differently this time around.

I am praying my husband can find a good job and we can buy a house before or at least a month or two after the baby is born. When we had Aiden and Rylee.. we lived with my parents so we all shared a room.. than we moved into a two bedroom apartment. I have never had a nursery and I am completely syked hoping I can do that this time. :)

daddy got a new job

I am so in love with the fact that daddy got a new job. We are totally trying to get a house so ttc baby #3 can start. My baby fever is getting PRETTY bad. The only down fall with Daddy's new job is he is NEVER home. He is working in Philly for a week which is an hour to an hour and a half away and his cousin's house [who he works with] is half an hour from here so to make it easier on him he is staying with his cousin.

Needless to say, I miss my husband.

I am currently trying to quit smoking. I have been able to quit with both of my pregnancies but once the breast feeding is done I tend to go back. I know I know.. how stupid of me. It is so super hard to quit smoking when I have two kids who are so cranky and whiny cause they miss their daddy and daddy is not here to help me. I want to just pull my hair out. Yesterday I went all day with two cigs. But I went and bought a pack for that to happen. That was naughty of me... But I really don't think I can quit with the circumstances I am under. I am hoping to find new ways of trying to reward my son when he listens to mommy. His listening behavior really has to be worked on.

Cloth Diaper Addiction.

www.clothdiaperaddiction.com is quite awesome. She does these amazing giveaways. If you are a cloth diaper mommy I would go to her blog and enter in a chance to win a Doopsy diaper. Follow her on her blog and follow the instructions to enter.

Updating

So I believe it is deffinetly time for an updated blog and updated pictures.

We have been through alot recently. My husband lost his father's dad and stepdad within the past 8 months and than my daughter just broke her collarbone last week. It has to be the most difficult thing you could go thru as a parent. She was in so much pain and she didn't want to do anything but watch tv and sleep but she is a little trooper and bounced back sooner than I would have thought. She still has to be very careful when she does things but sometimes she doesn't [but what can you expect from a two year old]. She goes back in two weeks to the orthopaedic surgeon to get more xrays done to see if they need to do surgery to heal it. Hopefully that will be a no-go and it is doing well on its own.

Aiden is doing very well. Learning more and more everyday. I can't wait until spring time to sign him up for preschool. Gosh.. I can't believe it is that time already. Yesterday he just learned how to ride a bike with no training wheels. I am so proud of him. He learned it in one day. He is a champ at PS3 and the Wii. Those are his favorite things to do.. but I tend to keep him preoccupied with other things. I don't feel he needs to be playing video games all day long even tho I know he would if I let him.

Oh.. and my big girl just turned two a little over a month ago. July 23rd, 2010. Where does the time go? It goes by too quick. We are working on potty training but for her it doesn't seem to be going well so I have begun doing research on cloth diapering her until she is potty trained. She sits on the potty and wants her diaper changed right when she goes #2 but she won't actually go on the potty yet. We are working on it but I'm not into forcing or pushing her too much. But if anyone has some awesome tips or websites about cd that would be great. Trying to save up money at this time to go crazy on dipes. :)

As far as baby number three is coming along.. we aren't doing so good in that field. I know everyone keeps asking when the next baby is coming and trust me I want one SO BAD at this point but our money situation right now is not where I would like it to be and I have to tell you I deffinetly want a house to call my own before we even begin to start thinking of that. Our two bedroom apartment that we are renting isn't quite cutting it at this point. But I will keep you all updated on when the ttc will be starting [hopefully soon, im getting impatient].

Christmas is right around the corner. All the shopping for the kids is done. But after Christmas i have to look forward to my husband leaving. I am so excited and nervous. I don't know what to feel about it but I know for sure that I am so proud of him for doing what he is doing. I went with him to meet his recruiter. I really like her. She made me feel alot better about things. I have been told it gets easier as time goes. I'm just glad I have him here for Christmas and new years before he leaves. The mos he is looking into now leaves on February 8th. That is our four year anniversary and 6 days before our son turns 3. I'm just nervous as to how the kids are going to handle not seeing their daddy every day.
