Haha like I should be actively packing/taking stuff apart but Sophie is gone to my gram's house and I'm alone for like 20 minutes!
I'm happy/not happy about this move but I'll get over it.
Also my mother makes this comment to me "Don't push yourself too hard today." I asked her why. Her response "Well you're really pregnant." Uhm at this point worst that happens is I go into labor, YEAHHH I'd be sooo upset about that happening.
That being said. I'm off to actually... move

Sophia can walk!
She took her first couple of steps a couple weeks ago but since then has really become a "walker"
It's almost sad to me that she can now walk. She still will crawl if it's a super long distance but her distances are getting a lot longer and she's much more stable. A little video
My house is a mess I know, my couch is ugly I know, and yeah my child knows the name of fictional characters on a TV show. I'm awesome like that you know.

My baby is growing up
Did you ever just realize something was different? Something that happened so gradually you did notice it until one moment it hit you?
That's how I feel about Sophia right now. In my head if you asked me what image I saw when thinking about my girl she is this little cross eyed baby that was always covered in drool. Yesterday after dropping Carl off at work for 6am we came home to try and relax the sleep away. We were sitting on the couch watching Yo Gabba Gabba when it hit me.
Sure she was on my lap but she wasn't being held by me. Actually she was reclining into the corner of the couch happily watching the TV. Her legs were propped up on mine, crossed at the ankles. Except they weren't baby legs, or baby feet, heck this wasn't a BABY. Her legs were long and had some scrapes and scars from her adventures and somehow her feet were already dirty despite the fact they hadn't touched the ground since the night before.
Call it pregnancy hormones, call it mommy feelings whatever but I immediately started crying. This child sitting on my lap both was and wasn't my baby. She will always be my baby until I die but she's not really a baby anymore. She now walks (we'll be a full time walker pretty soon) and talks, knows what naughty things are and enjoys trying to play with them and then run away when we catch her. She's not even a year yet and she's turned into a little girl, no longer my tiny red newborn.
I'm not really sure how I'm going to handle her birthday in a month. Maybe this realization and the crying it brought on is what the emotional 1st birthday is about. Realizing that little baby you gave birth to is just a memory and in its place you have an amazing toddler.

I love the pool
The pool is my one true love. Sophia loves the pool, she's actually more sure of herself in the water than she is outside of it. And there is a bonus.
It wears the poor girl out. I mean we come home after 45 minutes at the pool and she is like half comatose and ready for bed. It's AMAZING.
A little moving update. Carl's family is finally getting around to emptying the new house so hopefully we can start moving soon. I'm so worried about this since I'm beginning to doubt Sam will last until the 29th.
A good thing about Sam is my dear mother just finished our big shopping for him. We got a second high chair (identical to Sophie's), a bassinet, and his crib mattress. I'm so freaking happy, at least he'll have a place to sleep now.

Okay I know I suck
My last update was about my 20 week appt. Haha I'm awesome.
I'm now 35 weeks meaning this show is rapidly coming to an end. If Sam doesn't arrive earlier he will be removed by force on July 29. Yeah I have what now 28 days left. OMFG that is four weeks. -wheeze-
Sophia turned 11 months old today. She can crawl, she takes up to 4 independent steps, she has 8 teeth now and she can say words! Our list so far is Mama, Daddy, Dog, Cat, Duck, Yeah, No, GO (must always be yelled), Chey (one of my little sister's names) and HI!
We are moving again. Long story short I had some complications with the pregnancy starting around 29 weeks. I got to the point where it was either quit or feel like I was risking my son's life. So we're moving into the 2nd half of Carl's grandmother's house. Its a 2 bedroom, I'm sacrificing the larger room for my babes. Carl is currently working 2 jobs (and will be starting a 3rd on August 1) and I hate him having to work like this. After August though he will be quitting at least 1 job, and we'll be saving up money to buy a minivan and then a house.

Nubbin is a.... BOY
BOY. Samuel Richard!
and good gravy he was pleased to show us. I guess all boys are like that...
Everything looks good on HIM. HE's measuring 21 weeks (I was 19weeks 5 days when I went for the ultrasound)
This is Sam's profile he's going to be a cutie :)
Sophie could really care less but she is certainly a cutie these days. She even tolerated a shopping trip for BOY clothes.
Both of my children will be well dressed thank you very much
We also moved and are now residing in a three bedroom house about 50 ft from my mother's house. Sophia seems to like the extra space!
Sophie is now scooting around the room on her perfectly plump backside. She also enjoys swings, walks by the pond, and turkey. And that sounded like a dating add. I will betroth her to the highest bidder... uhm cutest boy.
Some Sophia eye candy because she's too cute.
On the swing
My little St. Patrick's Day cutie
Oh yes and did I mention we boughjail a play yard?

Well I suck
I know it's been a while. I've been so tired and just blah to really think of anything to say.
Miss Sophia is doing splendid. She's using her two little teeth for destruction and mayhem. She is also too painfully cute for words.
I've been better. Nubbin is doing great with a wonderful heart beat and is jumping around on the monitor when I've had ultrasounds. Unfortunately something is up with my cervix and I'm bleeding. It's not cool or fun but I'm trying not to worry so much since the baby has been doing great every time I go in for a check. On the 15th I find out what nubbin is, the baby will finally be called by its real name.
We are moving in about a week to a bigger place with 3 bedrooms, so my babies don't have to share. It's going to be so much fun once we live there. Though I hate moving. I'm also starting CNA training on 3/28 so I'll have a really job again, of course it will be part time 3 or 4 days a week.
The cloth diapering is going well. Honestly my family transitioned into it so well that there isn't much to write except I feel better know Sophie isn't on chemicals all day and it's saving us money.
I will leave you with some photos of the princess in all her glory.

In her tubby seat for the first time

Yes, she's watching Dora, so what?
She's so yummy!

Carl got me thinking
And for once it wasn't about how best to kill him and make it look like an accident.
As we were taking out the trash last night he said "Our society is disgusting with how much waist we produce." He was talking about us, you, and everyone else in the world.
I can't really step on a soap box. We're guilty. But we want to make a change in that, a because I want my children perhaps my grandchildren to have a clean Earth. I read a study after I got thinking. Each American produces about 230 million tons of refuse a year. Did you know disposable diapers make up 3% of that? Or those Styrofoam trays catching the blood from your meat, egg cartons? Another 3%.
We want to take our own steps to help reduce our foot print. I'll be the first to admit our '92 Buick isn't helping with its gas guzzling ways. We can't help that until we can afford a new car. But I can help the fact my kid goes through 7 disposable diapers a day at the bare minimum. I can buy her cloth diapers. What about the catch trays? We can go to a local meat market instead of the super market. As for the Buick we do plan to get a new car soon but also we want to start walking to places as much as we can. It is slightly difficult but worth a try. We still have to drive but hopefully not as much.
We also plan to stop using paper towels but instead old shirts for messes and cute little cotton hand towels for drying our hands.
Another thing I would like to do is stop being a slave to fisher price. I feel my daughter needs that $$$ whatever that talks and sings her alphabet. Why do I need that toy? I can sing to her, I can teach her letters, numbers, colors, and shapes all by myself.
We also spend a lot on clothing. I can sew so I plan to try to sew some clothing for the little miss, perhaps my self and Carl.
Our plan is to start phasing these things in slowly and hopefully find new things on the way.

I'm going to fall asleep right here
See going to take a nap while the princess is napping is pointless. I get 30 minute naps out of her. Which is barely enough time for me to lay down -sigh-
I'm exhausted. Carl is at work so I'm peeling my eyes open. I'm trying to behave and not live off of caffeine this pregnancy. I'm going to bed at 8... no I wont I'll stay up until 10:30 and get very little sleep again.
Yeah I hear her highness beckoning me.
