Surprise!!

I woke up from a nap to find hair all over the bathroom. I went looking for Riley and found out that Daddy had given him a haircut while I was sleeping! He looks a lot older...I call it his big brother haircut. I'll post some pictures soon.

To Do List Before Baby Arrives

So I have this long list of stuff I want to get done before June 2nd. I asked Sergio if he could assemble the bassinet this week (with Riley he assembled it when I started having contractions!)
He said he could wait but he did it anyway. While I washed the fabric pieces and the infant seat cover. I was happy to have the bassinet and car seat ready. I put one of Riley's stuffed animals in the bassinet and another in the car seat. Hoping that he would get used to the new items. Riley looks over the top of the bassinet and says "baby". Then went to the car seat and was rocking it back and forth. I left the room and when I returned he was in the seat, on top of his bunny rocking back and forth. Sergio and I need to teach him not to do that to Tyler! I'm slowly crossing items off my list, but I better hurry up. Only 10 more days!!

Almost There!!!

I'm down to 19 days! I woke up this morning just before 2 am to run to the bathroom. I hate throwing up and I have thrown up everyday since Sunday. My doctor says it's normal. I looked in my book that I kept while I was pregnant with Riley and I saw that I was constantly throwing up at the end also. At least this pregnancy I didn't throw up for the entire 9 months. So now I go to visit my doctor every week. On Monday we scheduled my Cesarean with the hospital. On June 2nd I'll be headed to the hospital at 5:30 am to get set up for my 7:15 am Cesarean. It will be nice to have him first thing in the morning instead of waiting all day in the hospital like I did with Riley. Sergio & I are still hoping Riley is okay with the new baby. He kisses my stomach constantly and says baby. We'll see how he reacts when he finally gets here. Plus while I am in the hospital he will be staying with Grandma. So that will be a big change for him too. We're keeping our fingers crossed that all goes well.

Mother's Day







Today when I went to pick up Riley from Nursery he gave me this card and little flower pot. I love it! What a cute idea!! He even gave me a big hug and a kiss. That's all I need from my sweet little boy. Riley has a great nursery teacher. A few weeks ago she gave me a cd of songs that they sing in class so I can play it at home and get him familiar with them.

Cute Pictures





Here's a few photos from this week. The first one is my little monkey up in the tree. Riley loves playing outside. The next two photos I had apparently worn him out playing outside. Sergio said one minute he was sitting in the glider talking then he looked over to find him like this. So he hurried and snapped a few pictures before moving him to bed. The last two are from yesterday when Sergio went to watch his team play soccer. (Last weekend he hurt his back playing soccer. So the chiropractor told him he couldn't play yet) Riley had fun watching soccer with Daddy. His new word is "Goal." Which made Sergio so happy when he said it for the first time two weeks ago. At the game Riley was given a BLUE ring pop. So when he got home he had blue lips, mouth and teeth, sticky fingers and streaks of blue all down his new shirt. What a mess!!! So after I took off his shirt and sprayed it with stain remover we snapped these photos.

Park and Baby Clothes

Yesterday I took Riley to the park. He loved the swing and would laugh as he swung back and forth. He ran around a lot, craling through the tube and went on the smaller slides with no problems, even climbing up a few of them. He wanted to go down the big slides, but I am pregnant and 26 days away from the big day and I didn't want to do them since he is too little to do them on his own. I saw a slide that went in circles and was open on top (not like a tube) so I decided we could go down that one. We climbed all the way up and I realized it would be a little harder than I thought. Where you sit down is under a turret and I am 5 foot 10 1/2, so I had to bend down pretty low and get seated all while keeping Riley from sliding down without me. Then when sliding down we kept stopping since I can't pull my legs up because of my protruding belly. Riley had fun, but I was done. (Next time we will bring daddy to go down the slides) Riley was crying when I put him in the car, but I was hot and exhausted and it was time to leave. When we got home I found that he had run out of energy too, we both laid down and had a nap.
Later when I woke up I opened the containers of baby clothes and was able to organize them and get everything put away in drawers and baskets. One less thing to worry about getting done. Sergio and I were talking about the baby furniture we have to bring up from the basement. And realized it's going to be a lot different with a second baby. Riley is 19 months mow and likes to climb up and jump off of everything which can be scary when you have an infant in a bassinette, baby swing, or bouncer. We're really going to have to keep our eyes on Riley.

My little monkey





I don't know how he thought to do this, but this is how he has always laid on this glider and ottoman. He also likes to roll the ottoman over and sit inside like a little boat. Here he is going to balance on the wood posts and clap for himself (which always scares me because I think he could fall) but he enjoys it.
He also loves to climb onto the empty bookshelf and lay there. I've been calling him my little monkey lately because of all the furniture he has decided to climb up on. What a cutie!!!

Giggles


Yesterday Sergio and I were talking and could hear Riley's giggles from the other room. We both quietly peaked around the corner to find him looking out the window at some neighborhood kids play. It was so cute. So I got my shoes on and took him outside to join the fun. I'm still trying to teach him to stay out of the street. And it seems he runs faster than I do right now. (only 28 days until baby Tyler arrives!!)

In this picture Riley would get on the couch and then jump over Sergio's shoulder, they both had a lot of fun.
