I always get on here and wonder why I don't have the time to blog more often, and then I think about what I want to write about and remember that's right I have a 2 foot midget that demands all of my attention :) I can't believe it is almost Thanksgiving!!! And I am excited to say that I will be strong in second trimester so those 12 pounds I lost first trimester will be no problem to gain back ;)
I can't believe how fast my little girl is growing up. I think back to this time last year when we were putting up our christmas tree and decorating the house, she was tiny sitting away perfectly content in her little bouncy seat watching the grinch with her right leg kicking as always. This year I have a feeling things may be a little different ;) I can only imagine her reaction to the flashing christmas lights....instead of ooing and ahing she will probably try to climb up the tree and grab them.
But I am getting way too ahead of myself. I wanted to blog about Gabby's halloween this year. She dressed up as Rapunzel of course. Although she wanted nothing to do with her wig that I got her. I couldn't even keep it on for a second to get a picture. What can I say she has a mind of her own, and when she says No, she means it.
***I wonder why I don't have the time to write these things and as I'm writing this I hear bars crashing and brooms hitting the floor. I run upstairs to find Gabby had gotten into the pantry climbed to the second shelf and had crackers and barbeque potato chips. Awesome :)***
back to her costume. So for the past 3 months or so Gabby has been obsessed with the movie Tangled. I got to say I am quite pleased with this choice. For the longest time it was Cloudy with a chance of meatballs, then we moved on to Planet 51, and then Toy Story 3 and now Tangled. Finally a princess girly movie--maybe now we can move on to Beauty and the Beast, The little mermaid and all of those other classics. So now it is our morning routine. She wakes up gives me a kiss, gives Dave a kiss and asks him for "Ju" and then she comes over to me and says "Nungle? Yeah!"
I wish I could blog all of her stories...She is such a funny little girl and I never want to forget them. She just has so much personality and truly understands exactly what she is doing. Sometimes it's so hard to discipline her, because I catch myself just cracking up at what she does. And other times like yesterday she simply melts my heart. I was crying for some reason yesterday (not hard to believe...pregnant women cry often ;)) but Gabby climbs up in my lap and just hugs me forever. She looks at me and says "Ma ma" Muuahhh! And gives me the biggest kiss and I felt the whole world lift off my shoulders in a single moment. She is such a blessing. I cannot wait to see her continue to grow and I can't wait to see the day when she meets the Lord. She already has the joy of the Lord in her. It's not hard to see even to strangers.
Ok next blog I promise I will get better with pictures and videos. Hopefully I can upload some on here soon. And possibly post a belly pic....I feel completely different second time around. I was so excited and proud of my little pooch the first time around and now I just feel huge because those hips I received at the end of my first pregnancy are now still here this pregnancy. So I have these massive mom hips and this little baby pooch if you can even call it that. I really wish I could read people's minds as I walk through the grocery store with Gabby on my hip. I am willing to bet every person that looks at me is thinking, wow she really needs to get rid of that baby weight. Well after the holidays hopefully I will look like a pregnant woman no question :)
Wow this was simply a blog of ramblings. I really need to work on specific reasons why I blog...Sorry for wasting a few minutes of your time ;)
