Blog change

This blog is officially changing from "all about Amelia" to a "family" blog. It is only fair, because we have a new little boy on the way and we don't want to leave anyone out :) We just had our second ultrasound- to get the remaining pictures, and they confirmed it is a boy for sure. I will try to post pictures soon... but here are a few facts about this little guy.

Nickname: Joe-Joe
How far along am I: 5 months- only 4 left! Yikes!
What has been different with this pregnancy: He is a real kicker! My tiredness has gotten better, but I am still more tired then I would have thought I would be, and definitely more tired then I was with Amelia in this second trimester. I have more cravings with this pregnancy. Boy it is different to be pregnant with a toddler around. I forget I am pregnant all the time, those kicks help me to remember :)
What does Amelia think: We have on occasion told her there is a baby in my belly. Her first response is to look at us like we are crazy. The second was she pointed to her belly and said baby. We told her nope. Then she would lift my shirt layers up looking for a baby- she gave up. Now she gently pats my belly and even tried to kiss it once. Not sure if she is catching on yet, but she is doing lots of mothering to her little dog toys and her baby dolls. It is so cute! She will be a wonderful big sister.

Pit Viper

Michael has been telling me lately that Amelia is like a Pit Viper. He says she doesn't always know what she is doing, and that you have to be quick and not get to close in order to not get hurt. He usually says this if I am laying on the floor. She is bound to pick up some large object that you have to be careful will not land on your head, or when she sits in your lap, be careful she doesn't spontaneously decide to throw herself backwards into your face. She also loves to climb all over you, and pounce on your belly if you lay on the floor... not good for me being prego. So I try to only lay on the couch now.

This advice comes from a guy with quick reflexes, and it is difficult for my slow tired body, especially in the evenings, to move very fast to avoid collisions with the wild and crazy Amelia. But the more I think about it, I think it is true. She loves to do silly things, and to run around, but if you wish to be with her on the floor and be safe... you better be on guard for the pit viper :)
