May Update

I thought I should probably get on writing last month’s update before the craziness truly gets started so here it is!

 

Adam and Ashley: May was spent working on our super long list of things to do before baby Wesley comes. Since we were finally unpacked, it was definitely time to get on that. So we spent most of our time organizing, cleaning, planting our garden, painting Wesley’s room, moving all the baby stuff out of storage, and getting the birth prep finished (hypnobirthing practice, packing the labor bag, writing our birth preferences, etc). I have been feeling pretty good minus some hip pain but after seeing a chiropractor I’ve been doing a lot better! Wesley sure is a wiggle worm and loves to go nuts right as I’m trying to fall asleep haha.

 

Eli: has been handling the many transitions fairly well. This month he moved from a crib to a big boy race car bed! He still will fall asleep on the floor most nights but oh well. We’re still working on encouraging him not to play with the light, plugs, or curtains but we’ll get there. Thank goodness for video monitors! He is getting more and more excited for baby brother and will often talk about him or ask when he’s coming. He enjoys measuring my belly and even tried to share his toy cars with baby brother by driving them on my belly and pressing them in saying “share with baby brother?” Haha such a sweetheart. I am looking forward to having a bit more energy after the baby comes so I can play with him more because boy does that kid have some cabin fever! My mom will be coming to help so he’ll finally get to do more than Mommy has been able to do with him.

Goofy boy decided to wear a top hat, even to dinner at a restaurant haha; again silly boy; he likes to bring books for me to read while I lay down; cute big boy!
