Catching Up

I am a terrible blogger lately, I know, but there are things that have taken priority over this. I can narrow it down to about 3 specific things: my kids, food and sleep. That is not in any particular order either. It all changes. I have been SO hungry with this pregnancy, and it's a little scary. I'm trying to maintain my current weight because I don't consider a baby that is the size of a sweet pea now to put much weight on me, but my appetite is pretty crazy to me lately. I want REAL food--meals--several times a day. I'm sure that's normal to people that aren't pregnant, but I'm more of a light meal/snack-all-day kind of person. Not possible at this time. Anyway, one of the things that I LOVE are Chick-Fil-A's chicken biscuits. If you've never had this, do yourself a favor and get that AND their new brownie. THAT thing is out of this world. If you don't like pure fudge richness, then you're weird anyway, but it's truly amazing. Gotta give a shout out to them for taking those walnuts away and upgrading that baby. Look at my beautiful boy when we shared breakfast from there one morning.

On Friday, Jaggar and I went to Georgia to see my friend from college, Randi, who just had her first baby girl, Mikayla, 3 weeks ago. So tiny and pretty. Even though I know it's true, I could not connect that I will have my own tiny babe before the end of this year. This is almost a good thing though because, aside from being hungry and tired, I don't FEEL pregnant. And the only way at this stage to do so is to be sick, so I'll pass on that and just remind myself that I am.

Jaggar wasn't nearly as impressed with the baby as he was with Randi's dog, who tried to stay in hiding. :) I honestly don't mind that he didn't seem to care. I try to imagine how he will be as a big brother, and I think disinterest rather than being TOO interested or jealous is WAY better. Jaggar is a very go-with-the-flow kind of boy.

In other news, Jaggar will be turning 3 next month, and EVERY day, many times a day (like all day), he is now saying, "It's ALMOST MY THOMAS BIRTHDAY!" You can guess what kind of cake he will be getting. Here he is talking about it a little. And if you don't think he is the cutest thing ever, you have a problem.


I'm so far behind that I forgot to post him reading. I think the sound is kind of low on it, but he read this whole book until he realized we were watching him. You can see that here.
