I'm SO BAD!!

I can't believe it's been over a month since I've posted. Since Preston is SO active now, he's really jealous with my time and wants to play, play, play! When he's napping, I've been trying to nap myself. I've just been so tired.



Baby #2 Update:
I went to the doctor on July 8th and there was a cute little baby with lil' nubs on the sonogram. Dustin and I just think that's so funny. Preston was only 8 weeks our first sono with him and this baby was 10 weeks so we got to see it's 'nubs' - starting of arms and legs. Due date is February 8th, however Preston came 8 days before his due date so baby #2 may be a late-January baby.
Everything went well with that visit, but then I had to return two days later because they didn't take enough blood for my tests.....grrrr.....I HATE giving blood. Anyway, that visit wasn't so great because I had to go in by myself because Dustin was in the car with Preston, who was sleeping. As I was leaving the back part of the building I started feeling light-headed and told one of the nurses. She said I was really pale and the next thing I knew, I was waking up on the floor. She kept saying she was glad I had said something to her because she was able to catch me. That really scared me!!
Anyway, I'm starting to feel a little better, but I still have my moments that I just wish I could throw up. I haven't actually gotten sick yet, though. I've been having to wear my 'bella band'....well, I haven't had to with everything..it just feels better if I do. I am so amazed at how fast my stomach swells with this second baby!! I'm about to have to retire my small t-shirts, they are just getting to snug looking at my tummy.

Baby Boy is going to be 16 months old on Saturday. Here's what he's up to:
He's saying ball (bah), daddy, momma, thank you (tank-u), bible, woof-woof. Grandpa (my dad) taught him to raise both arms when you say, "Praise the Lord"- it's so cute!! Preston always has boogers...I even tend to call him booger...well, now I have a problem since I'm always digging in his nose....HE'S starting to dig in his nose...grrr.....anyway....
Well, he can point to his ears, nose, eyes, and mouth. When Preston wants to go outside, he will bring me my shoes, then go get his shoes, and if I don't respond he'll go to the back door and point out the window saying, "uh, uh". The other day I was sitting in the living room and he walked up. I said, "Go get a book and I'll read it to you." He just ran into his playroom and brought me a book. I'm sure other kids this age are responding like he is, it's just I'm shocked each time he responds to a request. I feel like he was just crawling the other day!!! How can he really know what I'm talking about and respond??!! Talk about needing to watch what you say...even a 16 month old can begin to understand!!
