I suck at Blogging :)

OK- so I really suck at this whole Blog thing... where do people find the time? I don't even work- and I can't seem to find the time! Perhaps part of it is this intruder (used in the nicest possible way) on my body that makes me really truly appreciate nap time for what it should be used for- napping! And forget about the evenings, I have to do all the stuff that I didn't do at nap time because I was napping! And then I just want to go to bed :) I really thought pregnancy would be easier the 2nd time around especially since I didn't have to deal with going to work- but I was mistaken. I do not think it can possibly be easier the 2nd time around- no matter what deal you have- unless maybe your 1st spends all day in school/daycare and you don't work.. MAYBE then, and really only maybe, because I'm not sure it's possible.

But anyway- I thought I would suck it up, and now that Matthew has been feeling under the weather and is more than happy to sit in front of the TV for a few hours a day- I am taking the time to write- if only briefly. In reality things have been pretty boring. The Holiday's are behind us, and while they were awesome, enjoyable, and I loved every second of them- it was purely exhausting, so I am glad to have them over with for now ;) We have been beginning to work on Potty Training, though Matthew is making it clear that he is not quite ready yet- He has to be trained before school in the fall, and my goal is to have him trained well before this baby comes- I do not want an infant in diapers and to be potty training a toddler... nope, not for me. We are also dealing with preschool- applications are due next week, and while we have certainly not done an extensive search (I am a big fan of preschool, but not a "choosing the right preschool will guarantee a full scholarship to Harvard" person), we have found a couple of nice schools. The schools are not picky- you don't apply and they let you know, you apply- and if you have done it before all 30 spots are full, then you get in. They don't require any testing of the kids or any of that- we are going simple, church basement preschools. (which, on a side note, I AM a big fan of- I worked in them, worked with them- and I find that though not frilly or fancy- they provide a really good education, and I know I can count on the teachers to not be swearing or talking about last nights partying in front of my kid!) So whatever we choose- I feel confident that it will be a good choice for Matthew!

In other exciting news- tomorrow is the big Ultrasound. We are very excited- and though I am pretty convinced I do not even need the ultrasound- I feel pretty confident as to what this child is- we will let them tell us :) Matthew keeps talking about his baby sister in mommy's belly, so we decided that we need to find out- because if it is a boy- we need to start drilling that into Matthew now :) Of course he also says his baby sister is named brother Joshua... so perhaps he really doesn't have a clue. (And no, Joshua is not a definite name choice- but it is on the list, and seems to be the one on the list that Matthew prefers) I will, I promise I really will, post about the results of the Ultrasound so that others can know if this is a baby sister or a baby brother for Matthew :)
