Tonight James told me he wants to color by pulling out his coloring book and pointing to his markers on the shelf in the closet where he can't reach them. Don't worry, it's the kind that only marks on the paper. Love it!
This summer I have had a sandal fetish. I'm ashamed to confess how many sandals I have bought this summer. All different colors and unique in their own way. These are the latest and one of my many favorites. They are actually more comfortable than I thought they would be.
And here is the belly update. I will be 32 weeks on Friday. 8 months. Half of it being long, hot, summery months. It wasn't my fault. We tried sooner to get pregnant but couldn't until I stopped nursing James. I still can't believe I nursed him for a year AND while working full-time. Looking back, I wonder what possessed me to get through the teething/biting and keep it up when he started refusing it at 9 months. Was I psycho?
Not going to answer that.
But as time starts ticking down, I'm already thinking about baby #3; I remember thinking the same thing after James was born. I'm eager to get the whole child birthing stage over with. It's really not my favorite thing. The slugging around 30+lbs, the uncomfortable nights, the hip shattering pain, the exhausted-ready-to-poop-out-any-minute feeling, the starving/food-coming-up extremes, the puking, the sausage toes/swollen ankles.... I needn't go on. But when they get to the stage James is at --- well, that's the best for me. The personality thing. Noticing his little quirks... what he does like me, and what he gets from Michael. It's truly the best.
Here's a little something from a year ago today to reminisce in the past.

I think that you are such a cute prego girl! you look great! And I did notice james hair on Sunday. It was awesome! Stay strong you have almost reached your mark! Good job!!
Serious? Baby #3? I can't even decide if I want another one, a year after having one. You go girl.
Wow! He was so little!! So cute! Cute cute cute!
Such a cute little picture! I love to watch my kids sleep.
Holy cow - you're 32 weeks? I didn't realize how far along you were! Hope I don't sound weird but I think you make such a cute pregnant lady. (seriously, I wish I could wear all the cute clothes you do on Sundays - ie the knee-length skirts & dresses - but as soon as I get pregnant my calves turn into tree trunks... ug!)
Funny but I've also been thinking about #3 too. Glad I'm not the only one who thinks like that. When I mentioned #3 to Larry a few weeks ago he thought I was crazy to even be thinking about it!
