Time For Updates

So obviously I really need to update this blog! It just has been the last thing on my mind with all the stress and craziness that life has brought lately. I have tons of pictures to post of Chase and all the things we've been doing to keep him busy and having lots of fun. But here's our biggest news/events/happenings/going-ons, etc.:

-We found out this baby growing inside of me is another boy! When I spotted his male part on the ultrasound screen I had a single tear roll down my face-totally unexpected, I really didn't feel that sad it was a boy but I guess deep down I was really hoping for a girl. But I am soo excited Chase gets a little buddy who will hopefully become his best friend. And let's face it, we make cute boys-I just really pray this next boy will eat and talk!!

-Chase is 75% potty trained-and this kid decided to do it all on his own. At least he's not so difficult with everything because trying to understand this kid talk and trying to feed him food is all the difficulty I can handle right now! He keeps his diapers dry all throughout the day and night. We only wear underwear after he gets his #2 out for the day-I'm not cleaning up that mess in his pants! We still have to conquer the fear of letting his poop out in the toilet and sitting on the big toilet. It's a little hard to get out of the house for long periods of time when he won't use a big potty. I love though when he comes in our bedroom first thing in the morning shouting "YAY!!! PEE PEE POTTY!!! NEW TAR!!!" (he gets a new car when he pees or a piece of candy, his choice)

-Chase's vocab has just exploded and he is using 3 word sentences most of the time. His biggest problem now: TRYING TO UNDERSTAND HIM!!! He has therapy classes 3 days a week through most of the summer so we will be very busy with that!

-Our house was sold and then the the sale failed-thank goodness!!! The buyers backed out and I couldn't be happier, I won't go into the dirty details but let's just say they were not nice people at all. We have new buyers who are very nice and I'm glad they will be moving into the neighborhood. But all throughout the month of May I kept thinking we were moving so I was stressed with packing then we didn't move so I took a break and now who knows what weekend we will end up moving. Sometime at the end of the month. I have a feeling it will be 4th of July weekend, we always move during a holiday!

-I am now 23 weeks pregnant, my back hurts most of the time and I toss and turn all night. But it's worth it and I am in no way complaining. Jason and I are trying to come up with a name for this kid-it is next to impossible. Jason likes the names Xavier, Jefferson, Kingston, Anderson, blah blah blah. What am I supposed to do with those names? He did mention one that I kind of like but I can't share it with you yet!

Check back soon (well sooner than 6 months) for some pictures of all our activities!
