A little update....

As usual, I am super behind on blogging. I am once again doing this from work, so there will be no pictures.

First, an update on the pregnancy. I'm down to seven and a half weeks. And they are going to be long, hot weeks! I did survive a family reunion at Yellowstone last week, so I've decided that if I can get through that, I can make it to the end. My usual pregnancy effects are ever present.....swollen feet and ankles, killer heartburn, and shortness of breath. And I expect it to just get better. As long as I keep the end product in mind, I can make it through the day. I do have a new challenge with this pregnancy that wasn't there for the first one . And it's name is SAGE! If the girl could just sleep through the night, and quit messing her pants, it wouldn't be so bad. But I think she knows "baby sister" is almost here, so she is making the most of the last couple of months with her mom and dad before the intruder arrives. It's going to be very interesting to see how she reacts to a new member of the family.

She seems to be pretty excited about "baby sister". She gives her kisses and hugs, says she's going to love her and hold her, and teach her to go pee-pee in the potty. But I have a feeling that her outlook on things is going to change once "baby sister" gets here.

We still don't have a name for this poor little baby. We've got a list of possibilities, but nothing sticks out to us at this point. We are open to suggestions. Here is what we are looking for: Starts with an S (or not), sounds good with Sage, isn't too common (Sarah) OR off the wall (Shaniqua), and sounds good with the last name Solosabal. That shouldn't be too hard. lol

Sage is two and a half now. Her vocabulary grows every day....some of which we are not too fond of. We had an issue with "shut up" but now she has changed it to "shut your mouth." I'm not sure which is worse. We're trying to replace it with "please be quiet, or please don't say that." She's getting better, but it sure has been an eye opener to me to watch what comes out of my mouth!

She does say some really funny things, too:
"I big girl!" = When she says this, it means she doesn't want help and to let her do it herself.
"Sure!" = instead of yes, or ok. It's pretty funny in some cases.
"What you doing, mom?" = She's very inquisitive.
"I help" or "I come with you" = She can't be left out of anything!
"I wanna popsicle" = But the popsicle is VERY drawn out, and VERY dramatic. She has at least one popsicle a day. It has kind of become our after work ritual for her an I to share one. Rootbeer flavor is her favorite....she gets it from me!

She has also started playing with hair. My hair, her own her, anyones hair that might be holding her. It's kind of cute. Except for when she messes up her own hair just so she can get ahold of it to twist it.

This is all I have time for right now. I promise, I'll write more soon. And add some pictures!
