fishing

On Saturday, Brad took Mai fishing for the first time at a lake near woodland park.They caught fish and lil girl loved reeling in the line..I am glad they have these daddy and daughter dates...

And sharing a sweet treat

Then on Sunday, all three of us went fishing..the weather was great and it really felt special to have an adventure all together before baby girl arrives...First, we went to rampart reservoir:

And Mai enjoyed scooping up rocks

No luck there so we headed to the woodland park lake again:

 Mai was more interested in running around and these things:

Worms!

Pine cones!!!

We caught fish here and I even caught two:) Such a fun weekend!!!

maya and her sis

It isn't every day you have a ginormous belly that a baby is growing in..so I had to snap a pic of Maya and how sweet she is when she cuddles her sis...

And here is Maya making brad and I go on a walk with her in the house  tonight.I think each of us walked a mile pulling her snail for her:

daddy and mai mai

Mai had some fun times with dad this weekend(and I got to go shopping and get a foot massage:).

 They went to the zoo...

They mowed the lawn(one of her fave things to watch and do):

And park time where she got to do some hanging(another fave):

I am so glad Brad loves to play and be silly with Mai...she sure loves her papa....

sorry i need to vent

Things that are frustrating:
-lack of sleep.last night I was  in bed at 10:00 but got up at 11:30 since baby girl would not stop kicking me all over.Her kicks are also super low and I will literally jump up in pain from them...I didn't get to sleep until 3 and Mai woke up today at 6:15..go figure..
-maya is getting a runny nose again,poor kid!
-brad left for work at 6a.m. and is still not home...it is 8:30p.m.
-I want coffee and caffeine in general and I'm giving it up to see if my sleep situation gets better(I want coffeeeeee!!!)

And things that make me smile(I can't be all negative...)
-having lil girl kick a lot..movement is a good thing...she also is measuring on the 17th percentile at 5 lbs...hence the ultrasound I needed yesterday to make sure she was okay growth wise...
-if Maya is getting a cold she isn't cranky at all about it
-I am blessed brad has a job that allows me to stay home and these long hours just mean business is very good
-I love how Maya has been saying "baby out", "play"...she really wants to meet her lil sis...
-spending these last special days with Maya as my only child...just watching her laugh and play..
-I bought another Costco pumpkin pie:)

And this is Maya in the shirt that papa brought her from Montana:

sleep

I am sleeping like crap at night.I swear last night I was wide awake the entire time.Maya has been sleeping great though and is so easy with her nap too.I find myself snuggling her during nap time and soon I have taken a two hour nap as well(maybe that is the reason I don't sleep at night?!)..

Today Brad told Maya he was going away for a bit(quick Montana fishing trip) and she shook her head and said "nooooo"...then when he said he was going fishing she turned back towards him and gave him the biggest smile.Her smile and expressions were priceless when he said he would show her pics of the fish when he got back.I actually teared up(pregnant much?!)...

Tomorrow we are going to the zoo as a treat while dad is away...

Watching lil bear on Nick Jr.It is her only request...she even says "stop" if we ever have anything else on tv...

Btw,I love this cold front we are having.It feels great to stop sweating.....

random thoughts

Pregnant cravings are weird..I could not stop thinking of pepper jelly and cream cheese..got it...ate it...threw up...acid reflux....I also ate an entire Costco pumpkin pie...wanted a pumpkin spice latte at sbux...and eat nonstop watermelon...

I am getting sciatic pain down both legs now..I joked when I had Maya that I should always be 40 plus pounds heavier because my sciatica never bugged me..now I am paying big time for joking like that..

First ear infection..so it wasn't teething...I feel so bad that she was in pain and I didn't even know:(((

I can't stop cleaning....
