pregnancy losing weight second trimester

Its been awhile since I have had the time to post a "Chat with Jack" and it isnt because we have been lacking in interesting conversations... Life with a newborn doesnt leave a lot of time for blogging! These are the types of things Jack tells us out of the blue...

At bedtime, putting on jammies, Jack points to his nipples and says, What are these, mommy?

Me: Its your chest.

J: No, what are these? [again pointing to nipples]

Me: They are called nipples.

J: Do you have them? I want to see.

Me: Um, yes I have them and no you cant see them.

Do you trust me? [not sure where he heard this]

Why did God make it dark sometimes and sunny sometimes?

Watch me! or Look at me! [over and over ad nauseam]

Failing to adequately explain why the flowers come out in spring, I told Jack he would have to ask God...

J: Where is God?

Me: In Heaven

J: But where is Gods house?

I changed the subject because I wasnt sure how to answer this to appease a 3 year old.

I need some kind of sharp sword to cut it [a package] open.

J: This is my house.

D: Where is daddys house?

J: Your house is called work.

D: Where is mommys house?

J: Here, she can live here with me.

D: Do you want me to live here?

J: Yes. I miss you every day.

Joke as told by Jack:

Did somebody say potato salad? [laughs hysterically]

When I drop Jack off at various places, he always asks:

J: Will you miss me mommy?

Me: Yes, Ill miss you. Will you miss me?

J: No. But I miss daddy.

Oopsie 

I have a question for you: 

[proceeds to tell me something instead of asking a question]

Let me tell you why we bring you flowers: because we love you. 
[followed by a sweet hug]

Mommy, I brought you more flowers because the others were starting to be dead.

[brought new flowers on the day we came home from the hospital]

J: I just farted. I cant stop my farts.

D: Its ok to fart.

J: Its good for me to fart, Mommy.

I want chicken nuggets, chocolate milk, snacks and my Chapstick. Thats all I need.

Mommy, do you want to go to preschool, the Y or the Discovery Museum today? 
Pick one.

We have four family now.

My baby likes me.

I think he likes me.

Us: Do mommy and daddy have rules?

J: Yes

Us: Does Nana have rules?

J: No

Us: Do Amy and Emily have rules?

J: Yes

Whats our first mission?

Walmart has guns. [in reference to water guns]

Can I have a cinnamon? [he meant vitamin]

I love you all so much.

Well I guess I better get camping.

I want to go [to preschool] every tomorrow.

Can we ride in the car [in the middle of the night] every night? 
[in reference to trip to Childrens ER in middle of night]

The button on the wall is in case you need to call the nurse if you need help. Or in case theres a monster. [in reference to nurse call button at hospital]

[sleep talking while sick]

J: Hey mommy? 

Me: Yes?

J: Babies drink warm milk and Jacks drink cold milk.

Me: Ok honey.

[falls back asleep]

J: We didnt lay on the blanket... we had a special thing that rolled and folded into a chair. Daddy had one and I had one. 

Me: Was it a creeper? 

J: Yep

That hurts my feelings [when Isaac cries]

When Sophie barks and Isaac cries, that hurts my feelings.

pregnancy weight loss time | Flying Solo Part 2

pregnancy weight loss time

Its interesting to look back and see how I handled becoming a new parent when Jack was born. Some things are the same with a second child, and some things are different. We are only 3 weeks in and I have to confess that its been easier than I thought it would be.

The Same
1) With both Jack and Isaac, Daniel was able to take 3 weeks off at the time of their birth. I think in both cases this has helped tremendously with the transition of our growing family.

2) In terms of the baby part, Isaac is much the same as Jack was... he spends most of the day eating, sleeping and pooping. It sometimes feels like a never-ending cycle.

3) At three weeks in, Jack became more fussy, wanting to be held more. Isaac has followed a similar pattern. I initially thought it was because we just had a big weekend where he was held a lot, but looking back it seems like he is just following in his big brothers footsteps.

Different
1) In terms of different, the most obvious thing is that I am also juggling a 3 year old. Thankfully Jack is a good helper and I feel comfortable leaving him and Isaac alone in the same room (like when I need to swap out laundry). Jack is also a great helper – he will retrieve things for me and helps me with cleaning up, doing the laundry and getting his own snacks.

2) When I became a first-time mom, it seems like it was months before I took a shower with any kind of regularity. I was surprised that I was able to get Isaac down for a nap and Jack simultaneously occupied while I hopped in the shower before eating a late lunch. Also this time around I dont have the phantom baby crying in my head every time I get in the shower. 

3) It seems like our amount of laundry has increased ten-fold with the arrival of Isaac. I dont remember this much laundry before. It feels like we have been doing it non-stop since we came home from the hospital. We have already started using cloth diapers and that certainly isnt helping with the laundry situation.

4) I have yet to start cooking – family and friends have been amazing with providing meals and cooking and cleaning while they visit. We didnt have that with Jack (though I also didnt have a c-section, so there was less need), but it has been great this time around. We also had the luxury of a friends dropping in to visit this afternoon. Jack was thrilled with the impromptu play date and Isaac just slept.

5) We definitely experienced the witching hour today. Right before Daniel got home, Isaac was crying and Jack fell and hurt himself (and was also crying). It was the first time I had to pick between the two boys. I let Isaac cry and picked Jack up to make sure his arm wasnt badly hurt. Im hoping I didnt hurt myself from lifting him, but the mom instinct kicked in and I felt like it was more important to make sure Jack was ok.

Overall things are going well. I didnt eat lunch until 2:30 and I am embracing the fact that a hot cup of coffee will be a figment of my imagination for about a year.

I am determined to keep blogging about life, I know one day I will look back and be thankful I did. That being said, my kids are only 3.5-years and 4-months old and it is already getting to be more challenging. Hoping to just keep at it as I can. Here are some of the interesting chats we have had with Jack over the last couple of months...

Ill check the rer-mometer [monitor] and let you know when Isaac wakes up.

When someone works SO HARD to build something, we dont tear it down. 
[very upset at Sophie for knocking over a block tower].

Daniel and I were discussing an [electrical] transformer in our backyard and Jack wanted to know where the transformer [robot] was.
D: Some words mean more than one thing.
J: Its more than meets the eye?
D: Something like that.

Mommy, I found a nice spider! 

My tummy hurts... I had too much sugar.

J: God lives at CVS.
Me: Actually, God lives everywhere.
J: He doesnt live in my neighborhood.
Me: ...

Everything is my favorite.

Hey Daddy, dont rest!
 

Done going potty but still sitting on the toilet... Jack was looking in Daniels Northern Tools catalog and said, "Im looking at all the machines."

Mommy, grass and salmon are yummy. [dill on the salmon]

Note from Daniel:
The last few nights that weve “played” in the garage, Jack has insisted on setting up both camp chairs, then insists that we sit in them and have snacks while he props his feet up on the lift. [I suggested I use the office chair; but it just wouldn’t do].

Basically he’s been making his own man cave.

He also insisted on wearing the PFD [his old one that’s small]. Can’t remember why, I think it was to protect him from bad guys?

Sees picture of himself playing with Tonka truck at 10 months and says, "Look Isaacs playing with the truck."

Jack told me he wanted the episode with the five-zero and directed me to the number 50! 
He is also adding numbers up to 10 with the use of his fingers.

Jack dumped a box of craisins on the floor. He picked them up [they were all covered in dog hair] and proceeded to tell me that I could have the furry ones.

J: Go mommy.
Me: The light is red, we have to wait until the light says we can go.
J: Mommy, lights dont talk.

Says things are "easy peasy."
 

Ive been rewarding Jack with tokens that he can exchange to watch TV, he calls them token tots.

J: Here you go sir.
Me: Thank you sir.
J: Youre welcome sir.
[Ive been working on teaching him that you are supposed to say "maam" if its a woman]

Mommy, did you know that all boys are action figures? [after a conversation with Aunt Angela about barbies vs action figures]
