Hawaiian Baby & Mommy
I don’t want a bunch of blue or brown onesies. Why do baby clothes have to be so generic looking? I want black, red, green, etc.
BOY! <3
It’s nice to have a gender and a name to refer to the baby with. No longer ‘it’s kicking’, ‘it’s moving around’, etc.

Just felt my first little baby kicks <3
We had our 13 week ultrasound on Friday, but the stubborn tech wouldn’t even guess at the gender. Last time, the guy was super nice about it and was like an expert that is right 95% of the time. Wish we had gotten him again. Oh well though, only a few more weeks until our anatomy ultrasound, and we’ll find out then.
Aeva is getting 2-3 of her molars, which makes for fits like I’ve never seen. Yikes. Last night she slept all night without waking up once though, so I guess I’ll take it.
She’s learned how to do everything on our iPads herself, open her folders of apps, start them up, etc. It’s pretty cute.

Aeva is 90% weaned. I’m trying not to rush her and to let her feel comfortable with the transition as long as my pregnancy allows. So far, so good. She’s down to nursing most nights, but not all, just before bed, and then if she wakes in the night or too early in the morning, I nurse her so I can go back to sleep. The before bed nursing I could stop easily if I wanted to, but I like our routine. During the night though… I don’t have the energy to deal with how to get her back to sleep when I’m so exhausted at night anyway. Hopefully she’ll just gradually stop on her own before I’m 7 months or so pregnant, because I want a couple of months as a break for her so that it’s not a jealous thing for her that the baby will be nursing and she won’t.
It’s a little sad for me though. I don’t know if there’s a point in parenting where you transition from being sad that the needs of one child sometimes overlap the needs of another, or if that’s just the way it is. I just want Aeva to have all of the time and the love and the care that she needs, and I want the baby to be the same way.
When I was pregnant with Aeva, I did not have to get up at 7 AM. Ugh. At least my in laws are next door and she likes to go play at their house for awhile each morning so I can stare off into space and drink my coffee until I turn into a reasonable human being.
Our Valentine’s Day: first ultrasound of Baby Magnum #2 due 9/29/12.
Find out where the incision will be on your body, you can just google it and eyeball, and then make sure that you have underwear to wear when you come home that does NOT sit at your incision line. I had to buy some high waisted underwear to wear for the first couple of weeks, because the elastic on my underwear all hit right over my incision. Not comfortable.
And also, going shopping for underwear right after you come home from the hospital? Not fun. Not fun at all.
Please save yourself the trouble and get some now if you don’t have some already.
