He's Still a He

I had my ultrasound appt Wednesday to get all the measuring done on Jensen and to check on the sex. I was waiting to buy things until I knew for sure (even though I trusted what Bergi said) that Jensen was most definately a boy. I wasn't too surprised when he pointed it out on the screen so I'm sure he thought we were the most unexcited parents ever.

Jensen decided to hide his spine up against my hip so the tech spent a whole 10 mins pressing on me trying to get him to move. As a result of him being "difficult" we only got one pic but at least it was a good one ...

Quickie

Well, today has been interesting. Took Midas to the dog park to run around since he hasn't been for a couple weeks and it rained yesterday so that blew his chance. As usual he had to pick the one dog who didn't like him to pester and annoy to be his friend. That's just the Midas way I guess. We got home and the boys took their naps and then afterward we called Memaw and Caleb tried out his new potty. We got lucky and he sort of did a tiny little poop (not that he really even noticed that he had done it) and then took off. I let him go without a diaper and kept tugging him over and giving him little snacks for staying on his potty (guess I did the dog training way lol). Eventually he got bored of me singing pattie-cake and took off when he heard daddy come through the door. When I finally got myself off the floor Caleb had made a mad dash out the open door and was dancing around naked in the stairwell. Well, being the super nervous person I am when it comes to toddlers and flights of stairs sprinted for him. I never even saw the pee on the floor until I was slipping in it. I came down hard on my knee and Caleb started cracking up before he realized he was in trouble. My knee still hurts ... :(

On another note, Jensen (which is what we have decided to name baby #2 *Jensen Illidan Crawford) is always quite .... until I set the laptop down at the bottom of my belly. I guess it's intruding too much into his space and he doesn't like it so he starts trying to kick it. Makes me laugh. We go in for our next big appt, which is where they normally tell you what you are having but thanks to Amanda B. we already know :) Guess I'm starting my own football or soccer team over here.

4th of July BBQ

So instead of watching fireworks as one would usually do on the 4th, we just had a BBQ and invited some of the guys from the barracks. Ended up just being a bunch of single guys playing beer pong and acting like fools so wasn't the greatest time but at least we were out of the house. Jamie rented a bouncy and the boys (and later on the drunks) had a blast playing in it.

It was also nice cause Caleb and Wyatt got to run around. Aaron played a mini game off soccer with Caleb who just chased the ball and tried to get to it before Daddy.

Midas also went and had WAY too much fun running back and forth in the taller grass on the hill. He was acting all kinds of foolish.

3rd of July

For some reason, this year the base decided to do fireworks on the 3rd and not the 4th. So that day we went to the little fair type thing they do and ate some food, got on the ferris wheel, and let the boys ride the ponies that were there (Caleb was not very fond of his and demanded to get off). It was super hot that day and there was really nothing to do so we ended up going to the bestie's to cool off and hang out til it was time to watch the fireworks display.

I few hours later we were back trying to beat the rush and find some a good spot to watch the show. Unfortunatel, we got there just in time for the evil June bugs to come out. There were millions (yes, probably and exageration but oh well) and they were actually swarming this poor woman who was camped in front of us D:. Jamie and I had to bat them off with our flip flops while using out battle cry (a lovely high-pitched screach) to scare them off.

Caleb, on the other hand, thought they were the most amazing thing. After Aaron showed him what they were he would catch them in his little chunky hands and then throw them. He spent most of the night chasing them and letting them land all over him while I had a mini heart attack everytime one came within 5 feet of me.

Once the fireworks started he was a bit scared. I'm guessing he didn't like the loud noise since he was trying to watch the display while hiding against me. I ended up covering his ears and he fell asleep ... even with all the popping and banging. Poor kid was tuckered out.

 

Bath Time

Midas hates bath time with a passion. He won't even go into the bathroom of his own accord and will dig himself in like a stubburn mule. Being pregnant it's a bit hard to put him in the tub so it's now Aaron's job. Tonight is bath night so, yet again, Midas has to be pulled through the hallway. Well he has this really really lovely habbit of peeing when he thinks he's in trouble and, naturally, he sees being pulled into the bathroom as such. So what does my sweet little Midas do?? He pees ... all over my floor.

Lovely ....

On the bright side ... he no long smells like dirty dog. So I guess in some way I've won :)
