27 weeks

Here is Sydney at one month shy of 2 years old!  She is full of energy and opinions!  She will definitely let you know when something isn't the way she wants it to be.  Gotta love her! 

27 weeks. 


Here is Sydney laying down for a nap in her big girl bed.  The first couple naps were a total success, she never got up out of bed and slept great.  This time she got up probably 6 times and would come running down the hallway out of her room!  After making her cry it out a little bit she fell asleep and stayed in bed.  we might be in for some long nights when we transition her down there permanantly.  She still loves being in her room though! 


This was Sydney and I Friday night (actually, Saturday morning) around 2AM.  Sydney couldn't stop coughing and therefore we were both awake all night.  We were having a popsicle break to try and get her to stop coughing (it didn't work).  The next day Sydney appeared to be fine, just tired and still coughing.  I on the other hand felt like I got ran over by a train.  It felt like I had gotten the flu sometime between 2AM and 8AM, and my lower back hurt SO BAD.  I think it was because I cuddled/held her most of the night.  I called Brian and told him to come home from Vermillion ASAP.  (DDay football game).  Brian came home and took care of Sydney and I took care of myself with a heating pad and some icy hot.  Saturday night we both slept 12 hours straight...it was amazing.  Hopefully we never have another night like that again...I think it was close to if not the worst experience of my parenting career this far. 

The Pumpkin Patch

The Hy-Vee that we shop at has a pumpkin patch in their parking lot.  Since Sydney has recently shown an obsession with pumpkins, we decided to take her there last night after work.  She came home with 6 pumpkins! 

 

 

How tall this fall?  when she put her back up to the board she was over 2.5 feet! 

 

 

She thought it was very funny to stick her face through the pumpkin cut out.  What a ham! 



Everything was "look mom!  a punkin!"  When we would ask her which one she wanted to take home, she would look around, run to one and point "Dis one mama!"


So happy to be surrounded by pumpkins. 


One more time of poking her face through the cut outs.  This was a very good alternative to going to the apple orchard where there are mass amounts of people.  And she'll never know any different!  Now we just need to find time to carve our pumpkins!! 

26 weeks

 

Here we are at 26 weeks!  I feel like after October is over this pregnancy will basically be over too.  We have a lot of fun things to look forward to this fall that will help pass the time:  Missy's wedding, hunting, Garth Brooks concert in Minneapolis, Sydney's birthday, Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years and then baby! 

 

I'm starting to feel more and more like this baby is a boy.  I'm thinking we will be very surprised if it comes out a girl!  I told Brian that I crave all man foods (burritos, chips, sausage) and that by the end of the day I feel very stinky like a teenage boy.  I said there has got to be a boy in there making all this happen to me! 

25 weeks

Here is the 25 week picture.  bigger every week! 

Here is our little firecracker.  She loves watching her movie, which she pronounces "mya mya" (my movie).  it is the stupidest movie Brian and I have ever seen and she LOVES it.  so we only let her watch it every once in a while but when she gets to watch it she is so happy!  She dances around and sits in her chair and always needs a blanket to snuggle with when she watches it! 

Here is Sydney at breakfast this morning.  She is getting so big that she can sit at the island and eat meals now.  She loves banana muffins and will eat as many as we will let her.  We are also discovering that she just doesn't really enjoy drinking milk, not even chocolate milk.  I don't blame her!  I was hoping she would drink milk that Brian and not me but it's not looking that way.  So I let her have OJ in the mornings because I wouldn't want yucky milk with my muffin either!

24 weeks and ultrasound

24 weeks pregnant.  starting to get bigger.  starting to sleep with a lot of pillows around me.  Brian is over that already!  We have 111 days until my due date.  We are 60% done with this pregnancy.  My next appt is the glucose screening...can't wait! 

 

 

Here is a picture of Baby R's second ultrasound.  The doctors could find no trace of a VSD so that is excellent news.  No holes for this baby!  They tried to get a good look at the baby's face and profile but it kept either putting it's hands up by it's face or turning it's face away.  I think it has Brian's features...but we will see!   We did get to see it yawn twice...so tired!  I said it must be tired because his/her sister kept him/her up for 2 hours last night!  First Sydney pooped her pants at 11:30 and then I think she must be having some teething issues because finally at 1:30 I gave her some ibprofren and she slept the rest of the night.  maybe her 2 year molars will bust through really fast and then we have have a break from teething before we start all over again! 

23 weeks

23 weeks today.  one more week until ultrasound #2.  Not much else has changed in the Reimer world.  Just going to work/daycare.  That's ok because we have a lot of changes coming our way.  Sydney is receiving a lot of goodies in the mail the week...big girl bedding, panties, bathroom stools and potty seats!  We will have to do a post on her reaction to all the changes.  Hopefully on the agenda is painting her basement room and decorating it to make it awesome!  She is back to sleeping through the night so hopefully she does that in her big girl bed still! 

Weeks 21 and 22

The last few weeks have been such a whirlwind that I didn't get around to updating the blog.  it is a miracle that I am remembering to take weekly pictures, I think I am better with baby #2 than I was with Sydney! 

 

 

21 weeks

 

22 weeks


Here is Sydney at 22 months.  notice the bags under her eyes...she has decided that she only wants to sleep at night if I am holding her.  Last night I was trying the cry it out method to sleep train her and she cried for an hour and a half before Brian couldn't take it anymore and had to go in there to calm her down.  We'll see how tonight goes!
