Life as of Lately


For my first official blog post, I should start by saying that Conrad and I are so excited about welcoming a second baby to the family in about 28 weeks...CRAZY!!! but exciting! I am 12 weeks along as of today and feeling really good! I am still getting really tired pretty early on in the evenings, but hopefully that will start to trail off pretty soon. I am having a hard time remembering when it ended during my pregnancy with Conrad Patrick. At least I am able to get some rest during the little man's naps this time around. That helps a ton!

We are finally recovered from the stomach virus. That was miserable. now I am having trouble getting Conrad Patrick to eat some of the things he was eating before he was on a diet of only crackers, bread, applesauce and juice for a week. He did eat a bunch of green beans today so that was nice. I am getting a little worried because he was eating a ton of veggies and loving them before. Hopefully he will get back on track with that soon too!

Conrad has been working a lot lately. I am afraid it is only going to get worse in the next few months because his boss is getting ready to go on maternity leave. We have been making good use of our time together with walks and trips to the play ground! He has also been blowing off steam by putting new bumpers on his Jeep. I think what he loves most about having a Jeep is getting to do "stuff" to it. He really seems to enjoy it. He hasn't brewed any beer in a while and I know he is itching to make some soon!
We are also trying to figure out preschool right now. There is a really poplular preschool literally two minutes from our house that we are interested in. Most of our neighbors kids have either gone or go there. Our dilema is this: Conrad Patrick's birthday is a few weeks after the cut off wich means that he would be in a one year old class this year. We just aren't sure if he will really get much out of a class that is geared towrds kids who have just turned one. We are going to observe a class next week. I feel like we will be able to make a better decision after we see the class structure.
