Exactly four months from my EDD! Woo-hoo!
The little man is doing just great in there. I must say, he is much more mellow than his sister was (so far). Perhaps this is an indication that he will be an easy baby? We shall see...

Sarah is doing great. DH is making TONS of progress with her at bedtime. He puts her to bed pretty much every night, and he has got her to the point where he just lays her down next to him and says it's bedtime, and she goes to sleep all on her own. WOW! It usually takes her no more than 5 minutes to fall asleep with him. I am so impressed!
With me, on the other hand, it can take 15 to 30 minutes. I tried putting her down like her daddy does, but she FREAKS out if I don't give her "milkies". She knows they're there, and she won't take no for an answer. I know some will tell me to just let her cry, but I am telling you that she would never take a nap then. Period. (sigh) Oh well. I don't really mind the nursing, it's just the fact that it takes me SO long to get her to sleep that way, whereas it only takes DH 5 minutes. I am stuck for a solution...

In other Sarah news, she is talking SOOOO much! I am always amazed at how much she knows. The other day, she saw something and said what color it was! How did she know that?? I tested her a few more times and she knew a few other colors, too! I just can't believe it! I have never taught her colors, specifically. Just mentioned them in reading and conversations, etc. She knew green, pink, red, and yellow. Wow! My smart little girl!
Her new obsession is Winnie the Pooh. Ah well. At least it's a break from Buzz and Woody!
**A TOP TEN MOMMY MOMENT**
My sweet baby girl said, "I love you." today! I mean, it was the first time where you could actually understand what she was saying. My heart just melted. =D I am so happy.

A Meeting of the Minds
DH & I finally came to an agreement on the first name of our baby! So exciting! However, we have decided not to tell anyone until the baby is born. The middle name is still being thought of, though, so any suggestions are welcome. =)

Princess House
I am attending my last training and picking up my kit tonight. Then my first party is tomorrow. AHHHHH! I am nervous! I don't feel ready yet, but I guess I will do okay. It's probably one of those things where you just have to jump in, and it gets better as you go along. Any prayers would be appreciated, though! TIA. =)

Well, I guess that's everything for now. Hope everyone is doing well, and I will talk to you all soon!
TTFN,
Jennifer
