That's right, pregnant AGAIN!

Oh yeah! As I'm sure everyone has heard by now we are currently expecting a surprise baby #2! Many days of up and down emotions (mostly terrified and more terrified), but the bottom line is that God does not create people for no reason, and even though this is not on my planned timetable it is a blessing nontheless! So, I am once again starting the regime of doctor's appointments, picking out names, rearranging the house and preparing my baby son to be a big brother! I have my first doctor's appointment next Monday so we'll get some idea of a due date. I tracked it on babycenter and they estimate it as May 15.
Peyton is already starting to somewhat jump off the spoiled train :) We have been working hard with our bedtime routine and he is finally starting to sleep in his own crib for more than 20 minutes at a time. Well, he's also now going through a growth spurt so he wants to eat CONSTANTLY! Last night he ate a full bottle at one in the morning, and another one at 4:30. I tried giving him some cereal before bed tonight so we'll see if he does better, because he had been out of the habit of eating through the night. Even though I was exhausted, he was so cute this morning. He was sitting up in bed clapping and smiling and ready to play....which I would have done if it hadn't been before five :)
Well, that's about all we've been doing these past few days! My SIL Angie took Peyton overnight on Saturday and I slept and slept some more! We have no plans for the rest of the week except work and some extreme laziness this weekend! I'm gonna sign off now and watch some tv! Hope everyone is having a great week! Take care and God bless!

Not much else new to write about since I'm actually getting out two blogs this week......so I'll be sharing my list of Tennessee sayings that annoy me!

1. "Buggy" instead of "shopping cart"
After growing up in Arthur, home to many Amish families, imagine my confusion when first moving here! Upon arriving at Wal-mart I am asked if I need a buggy. Hmm....I'm wearing pants and make-up so I'm thinking I don't need the horse-drawn transportation. But they mean a "cart". Still confuses me

2. "whaddya lack" instead of "what else do you need"
With the accent it actually sounds like "what do you like". Well, I like lots of things! Led to some very confusing conversations.

3. "i'm fixin' to" instead of "i'm getting ready to"
This I hear several times daily....this phrase isn't actually that bad, just the extreme overuse of it sends me over the edge. "It's fixin' to rain", "I'm fixin' to leave", "He's fixin' to have a fit". The only time I feel the word "fixin" is appropriate is when it is followed by the word "dinner".

4. "a coon's age" instead of "a long time"
Don't ask, I don't even know what to do with that one.

...and finally, my favorite.......

5. "look at tv" instead of "watch tv"
Congrats, you've just made watching tv sound even more sedentary. At least using the word "watching" makes the experience sound somewhat interactive.

That's it! Peyton is sleeping very well in his own bed so I'm fixin' to go look at some tv. Hope you are all having a great night! Take care and God bless!

We got sent home from work today 'cause a machine broke down so I actually have a chance to blog! Peyton is still at daycare, I went to the doctor to finally take care of this sinus nonesense so I'll be picking him up soon. He is back at his original daycare, the other lady couldn't handle him anymore. Financially, it SUCKS for us to have him back in a center, but he's so much happier and its a better environment for him. Melinda, the director, loves him to pieces and can put up with him through this needy, teething stage. And he loves her to death. He's getting ANOTHER tooth so he's been a little crabby at night. During the day however he is a little inspector gadget, he even discovered how to flush the toilet yesterday! Lord help us!

We had a great weekend in St. Louis! We spent friday at the zoo, saturday at six flags, and both evenings down at Laclede's landing. It was a very nice break. I missed my little guy terribly, but I know he had fun at Mom and Dad's. Thank you both again so much for watching him!!!

Well, I'm gonna go pick up the house a little before I go pick my man up! Hope everyone is having a great Monday! Take care and God bless!
