And we officially have a Terrible Two year old. Alyssa has found her voice and is making my already irritated butt super mad! She is whiny and crabby and doesn't want to do anything. Everything is turned into a fight and its wearing me out! I miss my sweet girl. I have to keep telling myself that this is just a phase, this is just a phase.
August 9th I flew down to Las Vegas by myself to help Jenn celebrate the opening of her first business! I'm so damn proud of her, thinking up this idea then planning it all out and now, seeing it all put together and open to the public! It was a very nice visit, and we got to talk like adults (without either kid there) It was a short visit but I'm glad I was able to go. Alyssa stayed home with Jason and I'm sure they had a blast. I wish she was a total pill for him like she is for me but I hear she was a total angel. The brat.
So I have NO willpower or patience this pregnancy. I was not about to wait until my 20 week ultrasound at the end of September to find out the sex of this baby, and honestly I just didn't want to wait that long to see the little one again. So I scheduled an early elective gender ultrasound for 15 weeks pregnant. The day before I turned 14 weeks I called the place up and asked if I could come in earlier! I'm such a weak souled preggo haha. But good for me, they had an opening the next day :) I was so so so excited, but also pretty nervous. The last time we saw a glimpse of the babe was at 9 weeks and it was just a little Gummy Bear. Well, at 14 weeks HE was moving around like crazy!! The tech could hardly get her measurements due to his gymnastics in the womb. We finally got the potty shot and he was proud of his package and we are so excited for a new adventure with a little boy added to our family.
I was looking forward to having another girl so I could reuse all Alyssa's adorable clothes and had a minor break down when we got home from the ultrasound. I realized though, that I was upset about packing away Alyssa's baby stuff, not about having a boy. So while I'm annoyed at her antics right now, I have a fantastic two year old and she is no longer a baby. And I don't have to hold on to her clothes to enjoy the memories of her being the small, cuddly, chubby infant that I loved so much. So I have started a real registry (I never did with Alyssa) and have been having a blast looking at the boy stuff. I honestly have no idea how some people don't find out the sex. I have been calling him by name and giving him a personality, which I'm sure he will correct once he is born haha. I have been shopping for adorable boys clothes (which are definitely harder to find than girls but that's ok) and I hit the jackpot at Toys R Us, found over 25 pieces, from newborn to 6 months for $60.
I've found that I'm not really a fan of puppies or monkeys or anything brown really, but have LOVED the greys and elephants. I've bought grey and white chevron and grey and white polka dot sheets so the bedding is pretty much done. I don't plan of doing a real theme. His colors are grey, white and teal. I'm planning on doing a ribbon border around the crib, through the slants. And I'm having Tristan make a big cutout of the Batman insignia for the background for his name letters above the crib.
I've started to feel little movements and cannot wait until they are more consistent and bigger so I can start to see them from the outside of my belly.
Well, I started back to school. I don't really have too much to say about it right now haha. I've met some cool people and I'm actually glad to have the adult conversation, especially with Alyssa being the booger she has been ;)
