For the last 6 months I have convinced myself that I was going to deliver Zya Memorial Day weekend. Now my prediction has had no medical backing since my real due date is June 13th. I have been using all of tricks of the "secret" and have pretty much convinced myself that this was the weekend. I went to the doctor today with positive thoughts and an achy nether region and you can imagine my surprise when the doctor told me that I was still a 2. Months of positive thinking did nothing...and all I can say is that the "secret" is a load of crap! I have come to terms with my actual due date and realized that there really is a reason for them. So with this new sunny outlook I have embraced my growing body, I mean I didn't even take my shoes off when I was weighed at the doctors office. I figure the more I weigh now the more I get to lose later...what a fun little game I have set up for myself!
Halli peed in the potty for the first time this week and I couldn't be happier. It's funny how things change; 5 years ago I would never have sent out a mass text about pee in a potty (even though I was living with my brother and it would have been a red letter day if he would actually have peed in the potty) but here I am glowing with pride for my little bug! Halli is getting more and more adventurous by the day. It's not uncommon to find her jumping off the coffee table, or the stairs, or the couch. Her poor little legs are so bruised, I just hope child protective services doesn't come a knocking! She seems to be getting more excited about the baby, she even says between 'nummy' sessions that "baby drink nummies". It's going to be a fun little game to see how well she'll share. If weening doesn't continue to go well I am going to be a full-fledged milking machine! Wish me luck!
Before I mention Eric, I have to say that he wants nothing to do with this blog, he has already told me that he doesn't think I'm funny or clever so I mention him against his will! Eric is one class away from his MBA and we all couldn't be happier! He will be totally done in July. He has worked really hard and our family is lucky to have him! He did get into Pharmacy school but as his MBA classes end the thought of four more years is terrible, so we're hoping that he'll fall into something great (preferably not in Mongolia)!
As May turns into June, wish me luck that this stubborn little babe will actually come!

The day I thought would never come...
My sister-in-law Becky told me that this day would come; the day that I embraced my "crafty" side. Now you may be thinking...typing on a blog isn't so crafty but for me this is as good as it gets. For years I have refused to become part of the "blog" community but one fateful, sleepless night I thought why not?! I even thought of things to write; I was excited to tell Eric all about my new endeavors; his excitement was sub par. I thought that I had a hilarious first post to blow away the blog community and much to my she-grin he didn't share my comedic vision.
I have to apologize to Kate because I know that she is morally against blogs...sorry donk but the mommy gene has taken over my body; that and a good thirty pounds! Now for those who aren't aware I am 8 months pregnant and that is the reason for the thirty pounds just in case any of you where thinking...wow she's really let herself go! The second baby's arrival is rapidly approaching and we couldn't be more excited. We are having another girl...we think. Our first ultrasound we were told that we were having a boy and a month later we were told it was a girl so our fingers are crossed that it's still a girl. If not our poor baby boy will be dressed in pink. Now my actual due date is June 13th but I am determined to make the babe come in May. I have a feeling that with my luck I will be making a post early July still pregnant!!! We have decided to name our baby Zya Kate. (Like Mya but with a Z) Many of you reading this are probably thinking that the name is so weird but let me put your mind to rest by saying that it is very popular in Mongolia; it's like Jennifer over there!
I wish that I could say that Halli is really excited about Zya but if it's not Elmo or the Chipmunks she isn't interested. The only thing that I worry about is the fact that almost 22 month old Halli is still nursing (it's okay, you can let out a shocked gasp). I try to tell her that when the baby comes she'll have to share her "nummies" and she quickly tell me that it's her "nummies". I have a feeling that it is going to be a disaster so wish me luck. The weening process has taken a little longer than anticipated, well to be perfectly honest I have tried about as hard to ween as I tried to graduate from Missouri Valley College...
I have a feeling that as the weeks fly by and the bigger my belly and arms (I was told when I was pregnant with Halli that I "gain weight all over", "look at your arms, they're huge" or my personal favorite "you used to be so thin"...thanks crazy Mary you really helped put my 27 years of self esteem issues to rest) get the better the posts will be.
