August 2016

August is the hottest month of the year and I was still feeling sick

and tired from my pregnancy so we did a lot of watching the Olympics, resting

and staying inside during August.

Get ready for lots of sleeping Connor pictures. :)

 

 

We started August off on a Monday and when I got to my desk I saw this....

 

I really felt like I was losing my mind! My memory has really been affected

this pregnancy and it is so crazy how hormones can really make

me feel like I'm not even myself.

 

My friend (a mom from Connor's school) got this from

their teacher and posted it on IG. hahaha

monkey see, monkey do

 

On Tuesday, we read books when we got home and tried to text Leslie a picture of Connor's monkey tank top. I never thought my son would wear tank tops, but I actually think they are so ridiculous they are kind of cute. Please ignore his dirty face.

 

We were planning to head to Angel Fire at the end of the week

and so I started checking the temperature to get excited!

 

Connor and I have a smooth running operation in the morning.

I get him milk/breakfast and he sits on our bed watching the iPad

(or as he calls it - Bubble) while I get ready, pack his lunch, change

his diaper and get him dressed.

It was working well for us.

 

Thursday, I got this text from Connor's teacher and Cecil met me at

home to take Connor to the doctor. I headed back to work to try to wrap some

things up since I would be out of the office for a few days.

 

Connor started feeling better rather quickly.

Thursday evening Zay stayed the night,

and we packed up and headed out to Angel Fire early Friday morning.

 

We got home Tuesday evening and watched the Olympics before calling it a night.

 

We were watching the Olympics Wednesday night when

Connor passed out on me. I love those sweet snuggles.

We taught Connor to chant  "USA USA USA" with a fist in the air

which was my favorite trick of his at the time.

 

Cecil had bought fresh subway bread and Connor insisted on having it for breakfast.

 The boy loves his carbs!

 

Friday, it was just Connor and I and we took a nap together in my bed.

Look how sweet he is when he is sleeping.

 

 Saturday we rested at home and watched the Olympics

(are you noticing a pattern here)

Connor took his nap on Cecil in the most unusual way. 

Whatever works.

 

Sunday Connor took his nap on me while we....you guessed it! Watched the Olympics!

My favorite sport this year was Women's Beach Volleyball.

 

After he woke up, he played and played in all his (soon to be packed up) toys.

Look at that pile of stuff! It was taking over our living room. 

 

I found the most perfect shirt for my current state:

 

Here's another accurate picture of how we function on weekday mornings.

 

Saturday morning Connor, Cecil and I went to a 3D ultrasound place to find

out the gender of our little baby. We found out we're having a GIRL!!!!!

 

We were both super excited, but it kind of sparked a fire under us to really

attempt to get our house on the market and move somewhere else before she comes.

Yikes!

 

Cecil's Mom and Sister came over to watch Connor so we could go out

for the afternoon/early evening. They were both excited to hear we were

having a girl - even though Cecil's mom said she already knew

because she had a dream. :)

 

We met our friends at a Brewery to

 celebrate 3C's birthday.

 

Warming up for the group picture.... LOL

 

I just love these friends. And I'll be glad when I can partake in a little drinking again.

 

We left the brewery and had dinner at Uncle Julio's.

Cecil thoroughly enjoyed dinner and was super excited to pack up a to go box

from his (and everyone else's) leftovers.

On the way home, he just wanted to check out his tires.....LOL

And then he accidentally stepped on his to go box getting out of the truck. LOL

He doesn't let loose and drink very often, but it is always so much fun when he does.

He's so silly.

 

Monday was the boys and Leslie's first day back to school, but I'll blog about that in another post.

 

Cecil found some earrings that I bought and must have gotten confused

and thought they were for him. No. No. No.

 

Connor's teacher sent me this picture of Connor and said:

Knocking over the sheep with the dinosaur - he's such a boy!

He has been really into animal sounds lately and I can just hear him saying 'rahhhrr'

 

After school, Connor was relaxed watching TV in his chair. haha

 

Friday Connor woke up early, so I put him in bed with me to try to try to extend our sleep a little.

And, you guys, it worked!!! 

 

Cecil and I started getting serious about packing up the house and 'de-cluttering.' 

We also had to move all over our stuff out of the living room, bedroom,

patio, and garage to prepare for foundation work that was going to be done. 

 

Saturday morning, Cecil let me rest a little late and took Connor to

Home Depot to get some storage tubs.

 

I promise this is the last sleeping picture of Connor for the month.

I guess I just took so many pictures, because sleeping was my favorite hobby this month.

Pregnancy tired is a whole other kind of tired.

 

We celebrated Kaylee's first birthday It was a super cute party and she tore up her cake!

Connor love the party favor glasses.

 

But he also loved stealing all of Kaylee's gifts. Ooops.

He got away with it this time, but I think she might care next year.

 

Our sweet, generous friends, gave us this toddler recliner and rocking

horse for Connor.He LOVED the recliner immediately.

Unfortunately, we moved it to storage soon after getting it,

so he will have to LOVE it at our next place. #fingerscrossed

 

It took him a couple days to warm up to the rocking horse.

Every time he walked in the door he would point and say 'neighh' just not go close,

but it only took a couple days before he loved riding it.

 

Sunday we met my family to celebrate Nana's 96th birthday.

We met at the same steakhouse as last year, when we celebrated her 95th.

 

August was rough on me. I know I'm a broken record - but this pregnancy has been no joke.

 September, I started feeling a little more like myself, and was a little more productive.

I'm going to try to catch up this month on my little blog, because I know the holidays will bring lots of fun that I won't want to forget. :)
