So Much To Do ....So Little Time

It seems like I have so little time right now....

Too little time with Casey on the weekends....

Too little time to get prepared for Connor.....

Too little time to clean my house.....

I know somehow all these things will work out... but it can be a bit frustrating.

On weekends I don't want to spend a majority of my time cleaning. Casey needs and deserves my attention. After all I am at work throughout the week. I ENJOY spending time with him. He's so much fun and a true joy in my life that I don't want to spend my time cleaning when I can spend time with him.

By the time I was 30 weeks along with Casey I had his room totally finished and ready to go practically. I am 27 weeks today with Connor and have done NOTHING! I don't even have his room painted yet. I know somehow things will work out and we'll have everything we need but it feels much more stressful because there is so much less attention it seems when you have your second baby. With Casey we had a huge baby shower and were so lucky to have gifts from others and hand me downs. Its a silly thing to worry about, I know, but at the end of the day, I am a PLANNER... and know this will work out somehow.

Cleaning is a whole different story. I have zero time for it. Especially detailed cleaning. Between being pregnant, chasing a toddler and keeping up with daily life, I am always finding something in my house it seems and saying "yuck" I need to clean.

Despite these minor frustrations..my life is FABULOUS. Our family had a great Easter weekend. It was so fun to see Casey so excited about Easter. He is such a fun kiddo! I can't wait to see him as a big brother. Connor is kicking all the time and Greg has been able to feel it also. That's definitely my favorite part of pregnancy. So far I have been using Bio Oil on my stomach. It came highly recommended and so far I am very impressed! By this point with Casey I had quite a red stomach from stretch marks. So far since using Bio Oil, I have none! Sometimes its the little things......

Here are some Easter pics below:

Spring is Here!

Things have been very busy in the our household the last few weeks. It seems now that Spring is here there is just so much to do. I think it mainly feels like that because there is still SO much to do in our new house. While I think we have gotten a lot done in only the 6 months since we moved in, there just seems like there is still so much to do! And of course all of it requires money. It also hasn't helped that I got pregnant within a month of us moving here and that has definitely slowed me down with getting things accomplished around here.

I am now almost 25 weeks pregnant and getting to feel Connor kick throughout the day. There have been a few times where I have been able to see his movement from just looking at my belly...but its still rare enough that Greg can't catch it quite it. I feel like I had so much more accomplished by this same point in my pregnancy with Casey. I keep trying not to stress about it as we still have 3 months until Connor arrives. Since I am not having any baby shower with this kiddo though, it feels a bit more daunting to make sure we have everything we need by July.

Casey has been doing great and watching him learn to talk more is just so much fun. He has such a cute personality and is so genuinely sweet. We've placed a big emphasis on teaching him manners since he started talking, and just recently he really is starting to "get it.".... Its funny because now when we tell him to do something, he politely says "no thanks." It makes it more difficult to be irritated with him thats for sure!

This weekend was cousin Gus's birthday so my parents came to visit and we spent time with the family. Casey is such a lucky boy to have so many family members that he gets to see regularly and make an effort to spend time with him. Its nice for him to have a cousin that is only a few months older than he is.

Thats all for now!
