So....

I realized today I'm not very good at this whole blogging thing. I am not good at alot of things...Keeping up on the laundry, planning meals in my head when I go grocery shopping, keeping my side of the bathroom sink clean...But I am really not good at blogging about absolutely nothing. I think mainly cuz I have no idea who is even reading this, so if no one is...What the heck am I writing about nothing for?! I think the fact that I am not good at those other things I mentioned before, which should be things that I actually do, so why focus time on this?! Especially if no one is reading it...Ahhh, the vicious cycle of life. But yesterday, as I was talking to my friend, Kylene...I realized I need to be better at this, cuz in a year when I look back on this, it would be nice to read. Plus, someone has to be reading this, right?!?!?!

I'm 20 weeks pregnant today. My little girl who was once a sesame seed is now a banana and in 20 short weeks...Life is going to be even crazier than it already is! I need to do so much before she comes and I feel like that is never going to happen!! I want her room to be perfect, but I can't even decide on a theme! I want our house to be spic and span but I know full well unless I hire someone to follow us around all day, that is never going to happen!! I want to be the best mom in the world and I am still trying to figure out how I am going to take all the love I have for Blayke and share it with another human being. I almost feel guilty saying that, but hey...If someone is reading this, maybe there is advice to be had?! Before I forget (which happens, cuz it seems like I am losing my mind faster than I am losing sight of my pink toenails!) here is a picture of Berlyn Marie Tingley:)

Isn't she beautiful?!:) I know...hard to tell since she is smushed into my stomach, but I happen to think she is fabulous! She is currently 11oz and about 6.5 inches long. Crazy to think in 20 more weeks she will be like 20 inches and 7 or 8lbs (knowing my luck, she will be 10lbs!)...I cannot wait until January!!

Ahhh, and now that brings me to Blayke. He really is a wonderful kid...However he is literally driving me INSANE! I don't know if someone is punishing me since he really didn't go through the "terrible twos" and now I am getting it double time since he is almost 3. I don't know, but God, if you are listening...HELP!! He is so excited about being a big brother though. It will be interesting to see if he is still excited when it actually happens but in my heart I know he will be great...If he doesn't drive Berlyn nuts too:)

Ok...I did my blogging for awhile. I seriously will make the best attempt possible to do it again before 2 weeks is up!

Right now, all I want to do is go wake Blayke up and give him the biggest hug ever. I cannot imagine what someone is going through right now, but let me try and explain and then when I am done, you will know why all I want to do is give Blayke a hug and why I couldn't even think of a title to this blog...

A friend of a friend of mine, Rebecca posted on her Facebook last night about her son. His name is Isaac (and please remember that so at the end of this when I ask for prayers, you remember his sweet little name)...Isaac is quite the little daredevil. Everytime I look at Rebecca's pictures, he has a new bump or bruise. Nothing too crazy for a little boy who is about 2...but none the less...He is a daredevil. Yesterday, he tried to scale a t.v. stand with a large t.v. on it and fell off. The t.v. followed him and he is now in the pediatric ICU unit at Mary Bridge with some terrible injuries. He has a fractured skull and swelling of his brain amongst other things. He is in a medically induced coma as well as being medically paralyzed. I cannot imagine what Rebecca and her family are going through right now. My heart aches for them. All I can do is picture myself in her shoes and that is why I write this. This family needs all the thoughts and prayers that they can get. And all I can think about is her blog in which she states at the end...Hug your kids a little tighter today. I know that is a message I would want passed along and that is why I am passing it along for her. I don't know who all reads this, but if you do...Hug the people you love just a little tighter. You never know when something is going to happen. Please pray for Rebecca, Isaac and the rest of their family. I have only met them in person one time, but Rebecca is a good friend of one of my best and she is someone who without knowing me took the time to talk to me when I was pregnant with Blayke and from there on out. They are good people and they don't deserve any of the pain they are going through right now. Isaac is a tough cookie but every little bit helps....

2 more weeks...

I feel like 2 more weeks is going to be the death of me! I am so anxious to find out whether we are having a boy or a girl that I feel like I have looked up every possible theory and it is driving me insane! Everyone is so confident that it is a girl...My best friend has already started buying girls stuff, everyone talks to my tummy like a she is in there...But I'm not sure how confident I am! I want a girl so much (who doesn't want a boy and a girl?!) and I feel like it's a girl, but I still can't help but think I am destined to have all boys!! Arghhhh!! 2 weeks seems like nothing since we have known we are pregnant now for like 3 months but it feels like a lifetime still!

In other news...Blayke is driving me insane. I think not only have I lost the ability to see past my boobs these last few months but my patience level is slowly dwindling away! I love that kid to death but he is slowly starting to drive me nuts!:) Seriously though...I have the best kid. I swear.

Time to give in...

Well, everyone else was doing it, so I thought I would too:) More to come...
