Mama Bear: august

If you haven't heard already I am expecting a new Baby, arriving at the end of August. It will be a WARM summer for me, lots of river time I suspect. We are very exited for this new blessing. Baby (not nicknamed yet) is already showing with a little baby bump. I tell Beau, but he doesn't get it, yet.

I am struggling with weaning Beau. He is just not taking to it well. We have made progress so I have high hopes. It's not that bad, I just feel like I need to be strong for his sake. Then he looks at me with those truly sad eyes and I just cannot resist. I have been consistent. If I say 'No' I mean it and no more night time nursing sessions.! but when he's really serious I just melt (nap time, bed time usually). It is getting uncomfortable and I am trying to let him know that. I'm giving him another few weeks since his birthday is coming. Hope, is that he loses interest, lol. I had said decided at '2' I would wean him. So we are still on track. I do think it is making me extra tired and hungry, maybe my imagination, but I am beat.

I am slowly bringing order to my space around me. Cleaning up after myself again. Morning (noon, night) sickness always gets me. But I had a good day today so again another hopeful event and I will feel better again.

We went for a walk yesterday, a beautiful day crisp and clear. It rained today which was greeted with a smile from me.

Beau is turning two. I am not going to have a large party. Just family. Both of his Grandmothers will be here, a special day for him. I am going to make him a cake, maybe even curious George, since that is his most favorite cartoon of ALL time! I found some balloons at Party City so I will make a trip into 'town' to get them. I am also going to make Hamburgers and French Fries, his other favorite (bad I know). He just loves fries and so do I. I try to limit my consumption but Chris makes up for what I lack. Team work.
