Molly is 23 months old and Baby Robinson is at 39 weeks as of Christmas day. Everything is going great, but I am ready for this baby to be out. It's hard to chase Molly around all day when I'm huge and exhausted! But I should not complain. This pregnancy has been much like Molly's. The only complaint besides the normal tiredness is crazy heartburn. I am once again keeping Tums in business with my frequent purchases. Cannot wait for that to go away. Chrstmas was spent at our house with my side of the family. We had a great day together with lots of presents and lots of food, as always. We are now placing bets on when this baby will arrive. Marty says Dec 28. I say Jan 5. Cannot wait til she gets here though! Molly is very excited about the arrival of her new sister. She knows her name and over Christmas revealed it to my family (not our intention but hey, she's a smart girl). :) No telling on this blog though, you'll just have to wait. I am just hoping the labor goes a bit faster than Molly's 28 hour marathon. Still haven't packed a bag but am kind of starting to throw stuff on top of my suitcase. I feel like I really don't need anything in the hospital and can pack when I start feeling contractions. The only two main things on my list are sweatpants and my ipad. What else do I need right?
A few weeks ago we had baby's 36 week ultrasound. She was estimated at 6 lb 7 oz, 4 oz larger than Molly at the same time period. So she'll probably be a little bigger? Who knows. Molly kisses and hugs my tummy and knows where the baby's room is, that she's in my tummy. Not sure if she realizes the craziness that is about to become her life in the next few weeks. I know she'll be good but hope she doesn't get jealous. She LOVES other babies and is so gentle with them. I cannot wait to see the two of them together. She is a very good girl, but like any 23 month old, she has lots of energy and is starting to show us some of her tantrum side. Not very fun when the last thing I have energy for is to deal with that. But we'll make it through. Marty and my family have been a big help and I couldn't do it without them!
Molly started her one day a week preschool last week. We had to wait until she was 23 months old to start (school's rules) and she LOVED it. It is the same preschool I went to. She goes one day a week this year, then two days a week next week at 2 years old, 3 days a week at 3, etc. It is a co-operative preshcool so the parents volunteer in the classroom and help run the school. I was the co-oping parent last week and let me tell you, I was completely wiped out after 3 hours with 7 two year olds. And there were three other moms PLUS the teacher in the room. So happy she liked it. She did not want to leave even after all the other kids had left.
Will try to update this more often once baby 2 arrives, but I have a feeling I won't be as good with it as I was with Molly.
I included an assortment of pics from the past two months in this post. Included are Molly's first day of preschool, Thanksgiving family shot at Cape May Point (so much fun!) and our first photo shoot at the mall at Picture people for family christmas shots.
