Bun in the oven

It's official now! I am now announcing to the world that I am expecting baby numero 2! Currently I am 13 and a half weeks and am thrilled to have heard the baby's heart beat yesterday. It is almost a surreal feeling to think i'm going to have ANOTHER baby, but we are excited to welcome this little bundle. Baby number 2 is expected to arrive in March but I have a feeling it will come sometime in early April...but who knows?!?! I have been feeling quite nauseous for the first few weeks, but now I'm feeling much better and I seem to have my appetite back times 10! I get so hungry so fast that I need to shove something in my mouth or else i feel like i'm going to throw up! Once again I am reminded that EVERY pregnancy is so different and that my body is going to go through some pretty crazy changes in the next year...AGAIN! I am going through a wide range of emotions, but mostly I am excited to meet this new little person growing in my ever so growing belly! :)

A few days ago, I saw an info-mercial on a program for babies that guarantee's that they will be able to read way before they head to kindergarden. They even had 18 month old children on the program reading at a grade 1 level! It was so bizzare, but at the same time it got me thinking, and panicking...do i need to take more time to try and teach Rocco how to read? If I don't try now, will it harm him in the future? A part of me really hates those kinds of commercials b.c their intention is to make parents feel guilty if they do not buy their product. Well, Good job! Way to make me feel like if my child doesn't start reading by 18months, then i am a complete failure as a parent. Good thing I have a husband that knocks that thought right out of my head and makes me realize once again that ALL kids learn differently and learn things at different times!

Ready...or not!

It has been pretty cold lately, but still nice enough to go out and about. So today i wanted to take Rocco to the Library to look at some books and sign him up for baby reading and rhyme time! So I got him ready, got myself ready, and to the car we went. Then i realized the car seat was out of the car so i attempted to try and put it back in the car. It was a complete disaster! I could not get it to tighten up properly and I was not going to drive with Rocco in the car when I feel he is unsafe. To make things worse Rocco was crying the entire time and at one moment i even accidentally pushed the car door in his face making him fall down. After that happened, i was so frustrated that I decided to just go for a walk. We got on our way and we ended up having a great time! I took Rocco to the park and we had so much fun! We even helped someone find their missing dog! I wasn't able to make it to the library, but there's always tomorrow!

5am

These last few days, Rocco had been waking up at 5am. The other day it was 2,3,4,and then 5am, and I am hating it. The first few nights it was for no reason...i would go into his room, check his bum...nothing...check his crib to see if there was anything there...nothing. So i would put him down, stick his soother in, and walk out. The whining soon after would begin and it is driving me crazy! Eventually he would fall asleep, b.c i refuse to go in more than once.
This morning, right at 5am I here him yelp and I quickly go into his room b.c i am already quite furious, and begin to lay him down when i notice he's completely soaked. Poor baby had wet himself, so I had to turn the light on...which he hates...and proceed to change the little guy. I didn't even bother with the crib and just brought him back to our room where i laid him down in between Peter and I and he fell right asleep. My anger soon went away as I watched my little angel fall asleep beside me. He is so beautiful and looks so peaceful. I just wish the pee would stay in his diaper, and whatever is waking him up at 5am would just not happen. Oh well.
