Trying to be better

As I have thought about the posts that I have posted in the past few days, I have realized I haven't really been that upbeat and have been mostly down. Sorry for those who look to have a happy read. I have been feeling better about things these last couple of days, so maybe I can say something of happiness. So, despite my frustration with Matthew not listening to the word "NO," and...well, I guess that is all that I am frustrated at him for, he does have quite the cute personality. As you noticed in my previous post the picture of him, he really was trying to pose for the picture. Then today he found one of his daddy's hats and put it on, sideways. I went to take a picture of him, and he posed for that picture too. What a cutie.

Then, today, went shopping for some things and found the cutest hat and sunglasses for him. He wore them both pretty much the whole time we were at Walmart. It was fun to watch the people walk by and just smile and laugh about how cute he was. It is so much fun to just listen to him jabber. I don't have a clue as to what he is saying, but he jabbers on and on and sometimes I can pick up on a few things that he might be saying. I almost like the jabbering better than the talking, but it sure would be nice if he could talk so I actually knew what he wants most of the time. So, there is my proud mom post. :)

I had my doctor's appointment yesterday and all is still well. I am finally getting down to the wire. Starting to go every two weeks instead of every month. I have been quite depressed about the weight I have gained lately, but decided that there isn't a whole lot I can do about it. I have to eat if I am hungry, so I gain weight. Yes, I gained 8 pounds this last month, but still only a total of 17 pounds, so I am doing good I guess. If I get past the amount of pounds that is ok, I will not let you know how many pounds I have gained. :) But, Kai, Annette and I have all determined that I am still not as big as I was when I was pregnant with Matthew. Although it feels like I just can't get any bigger. So, yes, I am big. But what can I do? I am pregnant, I will gain weight, and when I have the baby, hopefully I will lose most of it. There, that is my better attitude about things. :)
