My baby is Two and a half today (offically)

So today is the 26 of May, and Josh was born exactly (well by 10:45 tonight anyway) two and a half years ago. I can't believe all the changes that go on in a the first few years of life. Every day I am amazed by the things he does or says. Last Friday, I got Josh's hair cut, Kerri buzzed it! It is so short, and he looks so grown up. He was so upset as we were cutting it, and after we were finished he picked up a clump of hair and tried to put it back on. It was so cute. I am always a little sad every time I get his hair cute because it's almost like I am loosing more and more of his childhood, which is crazy, but how I feel. When Josh sees animals as we are out and about he often asks me "Where is the (puppies, ladybugs, ants) Mommy and Daddy?" I have tried to explain to him that when you get bigger you aren't always with your mommy and daddy. It's so sweet to me that he can't quite figure that out because his whole world is his family. (I am so crying right now). One of Josh's favorite songs is "Happy Family" in which we always sing the verse about Grandma and Grandpa, because he loves them so so much! I am so grateful that both my parents and Jon's parents have such a great relationship with Josh, and especially myself. It is such a blessing to have their love, guidance, encouragement and support 100% percent of the time! I can only hope and pray that I will be able to be that for Josh as he grows. So my ode to Josh has turned into an ode to my parents and Jon's as well, but I am truly grateful for all 5 of these individuals. (Jon are you feeling left out? Love you too!)

Well anyways I am now 5 days overdue and no baby brother for Josh, but it is only a matter of time. I am so excited to meet him and see how Josh changes in his new role as big brother. Hopefully it is sooner then later. MAYBE TODAY ! One can hope.

Here is the new Big Brother do, and not happy.

And some cute before pictures too.

Sitting on pins and needles and up way too early!

I desperately need to buy some curtains for Josh's room. During the winter Josh had a standard wake up of time of 7:15 give or take a half an hour, but lately with the sun rising so early it is much less predictable. Today I woke up hearing noises at 4:55 and it took me a few minutes to realize that Josh was hiding beside our bed. I got him a drink and sent him back to bed but he was up an hour later. Way to early for tired 9 months pregnant mommy!

So even though I was 9 days late with Josh, the last couple of days I've been thinking maybe I might not be this time. I have been saying all along that I will go over but now I am not as convinced. This has me frustrated because I am now just "sitting on pins and needles" wondering when this baby is going to come! I really hate the not knowing part, if I knew that I would have the baby late it wouldn't bother me , I would be completely fine with it. But it when your body keeps playing tricks on you. Ahhh. That being said, I am sure every expectant mom feels the same way, so I have nothing to complain about. Everything else is going well, Jon bought me a new lens for my camera for mothers day. This lens is just a basic 50mm lens, no zoom or fancy functions but it should be great for taking baby pictures. Hope to be posting them really soon!
