We got Benjamin's room all painted and somewhat organized. I will be 31 weeks on Tuesday and Easton arrived around week 38 so we figured we better not wait any longer...plus I have moved into the "Im exhausted and dont want to do anything" phase of my 3rd trimester so while I have motivation I better put it to good use. I cant complain too much I am very lucky with this pregnancy as I was with Eastons. No morning sickness or any sickness at all, no swelling, no heartburn, no overly emotional episodes. With Easton I had a lot more cravings and Benjamin doesnt seem to give me any. Still love my ice cream and sweets but thats just a Sam thing..not so much a pregnancy thing I just get away with it more when I use the prego card :)
Thursday we went and got a 4D ultrasound of our little Benjamin. He is really low already and didnt really want to show his face but we did end up getting a lot of great photos. The best part was Easton came and was pretty much unimpressed. He wanted to play with the toys in the room more than anything and play with Nana (My mom also came which was so fun for her!!!!). Afterwards Brian and I had a date night which was WAY overdue and Easton had dinner and played at my parents house all night. Not sure who wore who out but we all had a great day/evening.

| Easton is perfecting his diaper changing skills |
Easton lately: He loves to practice changing "Baby Bens diapers" and is very much into "I do it myself" which means it takes us even longer to leave the house bc he needs to put his shoes, hat, and coat on "myself" and does not welcome any help what so ever! "I do it" is also heard 100 times a day :) He loves singing ABC's, Twinkle Twinkle, and Old McDonald start to finish...sometimes he wants us to chime in other times he makes sure to let us know that our accompaniment is not welcome "STOP" with a hand gesture and all! Last week one of his daycare friends had a birthday so this weekend he has been singing "Happy Birthday" to everyone from mama to the different colors "Happy Birthday to Red, Happy Birthday to white" He loves naming what color anything and everything is and then quizzing us "mama what color this?" He also likes to say "Red means STOP, Green means GO, and Lellow means "SLOW DOWN" :) He also quizzes us with animal sounds too "dad what does a dinosaur say". Some funny phrases lately (and these are daily) was:
Brian: Easton do you want to take a bath?
Easton: Yes, I stinky!
He also loves to do something that then say "You try" I started telling him "I cant Im too big" when he wants me to lay on my tummy and play with him or jump and roll around on the ground. With the basketball it looks like I swallowed that just isnt an option for me anymore. Now when we ask Easton to do something this is how it goes:
Us: Easton can you __________ (put your shoes on...drink your milk....etc)
Easton: I cant. I too big
He is quite the smarty pants :)
We got Eastons new bedroom furniture delivered on Saturday. I took him out for breakfast and a playdate so he didnt see his old stuff being moved into the nursery just incase....still not sure what he thinks of all these changes....We are very lucky that he is so chill and adaptable bc he thought it was so cool and right away slept great for his nap in his new bed. That night same thing...he went right to bed. He fell out twice. The first time he just continued to lay on the floor and go back to sleep but Brian sat him up on the bed again...The second time was this morning and it scared him a bit bc he was in such a deep sleep. We didnt get rails bc E doesnt sleep vertically or really in one place for long so they wouldve been pointless. Numerous friends gave us advice and the winner was to use pool noodles (those long cylinder foam floaties for pools) and put them on each side of the mattress under the fitted sheep so they act as a lip/bumper. Of course its Jan. and Nebraska so stores arent exactly carrying those. I ordered online and will see if they do the job. The fact that his old furniture is in Baby Benjamins room didnt phase him one bit. We walked in the nursery and thought it was cool that the babies room was all done..then he was ready to go downstairs and play again.
