Lazy Friday

It’s just Ben and I at the house right now.  Aaron took Chloe with him to pick Jacob up for the weekend, and it’s nice to have the one-on-one time with the little man.  Except, he’s been nursing me to death!  Every ten minutes he wants to nurse, and basically all night long.  He woke up from a dead sleep at about three o’clock this morning and said "Done this side.  Other one booby!"  (AKA, I’m finished over here, can I have the other one please?)

Normally I don’t turn him down when he wants to nurse, but when he gets in one of those moods where he only wants to goof around and do acrobatics on my lap, then I’ll tell him no.  Except lately, I’ll tell him no and he’ll say, "Why?"  Twenty-one months old and he’s asking me why.  Heaven help me. 

Right now, he’s enjoying a post nap snack and watching Dora while I’m snacking on some Sunchips and a big glass of ice water.  I quit drinking soda almost two months ago, so I’m getting quite a bit more water than I used to, but, being pregnant now, I’m definitely going to have to make sure I’m getting enough and not just the bare minimum. 

Aaron has accepted the fact that I’m pregnant.  He’s still not thrilled or excited in anyway, but he’s at least able to acknowledge it.  Up until about noon today he was still holding out that I’d taken a bad test (or two).  I told him if he was still that concerned, then to please go buy as many tests as it would take to ease his mind, and I would spend all evening taking them.  He gave in, then, and now he’s just working on getting used to the idea.  It’s hard on him, and I’m letting him have the time he needs. 

We still aren’t telling anyone.  Well, other than you guys, because if I had to keep this quiet from *everyone* then I’d explode.  And I’m really glad I’ve got all of you guys here to listen!  We haven’t discussed when we want to start spreading the news, but I figure it should probably be soonish, because otherwise Chloe’s going to catch on and start spreading it on her own.  I asked her kind of randomly this morning if she thought it would be a good thing if Mommy and Daddy had a little baby boy or girl, and she said yes, but only a girl, not a boy.  Lol.  Guess she already gets too much "boy" from two brothers and doesn’t want to add a third. 

All of Aaron’s family will be together this weekend, with his brother and SIL and their daughter coming is from Louisiana, so that would be a pretty good time to tell his side of the family so we only have to do it once.  I just don’t know if he’ll feel up to it yet. 

As for my parents…well, my mom mostly…I’m not looking forward to it.  She thinks anyone who has more than two kids is basically crazy and asking for trouble, even though she’s one of three siblings.  So, we might not be telling anyone for a few weeks, but we’ll see what feels right I guess.  I’ll probably just do it on Facebook.  LOL. 

In any case, it’s going to be interesting!
