A little bit of this and a little bit of that

I really haven't had much to report.
I sometimes want to sit here and write about how happy I am.
And sometimes maybe about how tired I feel.
But never get to it.

I have had a huge to do list for some time now and it seems like I add more things every day than I can check off.

One of them was updating my blog.
And even though I don't even have much time right now, I kinda wanted to check that one off TODAY!
Even if i have to write a new one on my list about updating my blog again with a longer, much more entertaining post!

I have been doing a few things here and there - but for most part, I have felt tired and lazy.

Jonathan is transforming into the little bratt I always knew I was gonna have for a child!
lol
I remember watching Dennis the menace and always thinking: I want a child like that!
how fun! i don't want a boring child who is never doing anything!
Well, be careful what you wish for, huh?
I love it though!
It is not annoying me much!
At least, not yet!

He is funny!
SO DETERMINED and so STUBBORN already!
So curious! So silly! So FREAKING CUTE!!!!
He is never still - NEVER!
Unless he is napping or sleeping or drinking his BABA (bottle) in his little couch while watching Blues Clues, Yo Gabba Gabba or Lazy Town.

He has this new thing now of just standing right infront of you and laughing as loud as he can (of course faking it) so you can pay attention to him and basically start laughing with him.
He did it @ the grocery store a few days ago while we were paying and I am not kidding, every single person around was histerically laughing! Me, well, u can imagine!!

He does have his tantrums!
Uff, and those are getting louder and louder!

Other than that, he is such a happy baby!
Everywhere we go, everybody says it!
And I just love it!
His smile is just captivating!
His giggles are still the best noises I could ever hear!
(even if they are fake! haha)
His puppy eyes are just cuter than the cutest puppy you have ever ever seen in your entire life!
U know how you feel when you see a cute puppy just looking at you like "help", "love me"...
Well, I get that feeling when I look at my baby boy times 10000000!
He is just SO ADORABLE!!!
Anyways, I can sit here for hours talking about him.
Back to the other stuff:

WE had an AMAZING halloween weekend with the family: Mother, brother & father in law, 2 nieces and us.
I have never seen so much going on for Halloween in my life!
The spirit of Halloween was definitely present in this town and I really liked it!
(I can't wait to see people during Xmas!!)

I was seriously amazed by all the fun activities and things for the kids to do!
And even though Jonathan was a little too young for them, he had a BLAST!

I have been to the Dr to see new baby J #2 twice since the last blog!
THIS BABY IS SO active!

Wait! Can I put videos here?
I think I do!!!

Well, I will put one of the ultrasounds videos here for pure entertainment!! :-)
(it is seriously crazy how much this baby kicks and I never get tired of looking @ it)

These past few weeks have been a little more exciting.
Been to the Aquarium, a Mom's night out, a Meet and Greet for another mommy group, playdates and I even signed up Jonathan for a Jump Bunch class!
@ least I am getting a little more active, right?

I am growing incredibly fast (Well, my belly!)- that's been kind of crazy!
It is out there, lemme tell you!
I am not nociting too much weight gain anywhere else - which is good, but still!
I am what? 15 weeks only!!!
ahhh!!!

I would post pics here, but I am going to wait a little longer until I am more advanced in the pregnancy bc it is sorta embarrasing for me to be this big.
I love it, don't take me wrong!
But I can sometimes get a little tired of the: "are you sure you only have one in there?" "are you sure you are only 15 weeks pregnant?" etc etc
So I am avoiding it by hiding my 15 month pregnant belly and posting the pics a few months down the road... :-P

Daddy is still working SUPER HARD and we are still waiting for some good things to happen with one of his jobs!

And well, that's pretty much a little bit of what is going on over my neck of the woods!
(I love AL Rocker. Is that how u spell it? the weather guy from the Today Show...)



WAIT!!!!!!!!
If I do not post before next wednesday, November 18th, then the next post will have to do with baby J Shelton #2's GENDER!
Yep! We find out (hopefully) that day!

Let me tell you, I was NOT this anxious and nervous with Jonathan!
yes, of course, I was dying to know but i was "so sure" with him that I was having a girl!

With this one - I have ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA!
Nothing is making me feel one way or the other!
I HAVE taken the lil myth tests and of course, the chinese calendar says it's a girl (which it did with Jonathan too) and I even did the ring over the belly one. (But that one sucked, bc when I held it over my belly it went in circles: girl! and when Jodi did, it went side to side: Boy!)

I want to believe it is a boy, just so that when they tell me it is, I don't get too too disappointed.
Yes, You all know I want a baby girl BAD!

All of Jodi's family is telling me is a boy.
And everyone that sees me in the streets or knows me (well, not everyone but a lot of people) tell me it's a girl.
Which doesn't help bc that is what happened with Jonathan as well!

OF course I am ok with either and of course all that matters is that the baby is healthy and does great inside and outside my belly!
But hey! I would have a little more fun buying those mary jane socks I so want to buy!!!
And the bows, and the tu tus!!

So, in 8 more days we get to know!

AHHHH!!!!!!

Gotta go!
The boys are back from the groceries!!!

CIAO!
