Helping Momma

February16

Sweet Pea has become quite the helper. Anything that I am doing, whether it be unloading the dishwasher or drying my hair, he wants to do too!! So of course I let him help. Even though everything takes sooo much longer to do I want to encourage this helpful behavior, not hinder it. Here are the attempts at drying my hair the other day:

I love that everything I do is so wonderful and interesting to him. The picture of him drying my hair just reminds me that this little person looks up to me and wants to copy everything that I do. This is where I pray the Lord will give me strength to be patient and be a good example to him. I hope as he grows older he stays the loving, helping little boy he it right now.

Pregnancy news: Thanks for all the comments and emails I got about my pregnancy! It is so uplifting to know so many people care and are praying for my family. I am now fifteen weeks along. The baby is due in early August. I am very thankful that in both this pregnancy and Sweet Pea’s I did not encounter morning sickness. Just a lot of nausea and cramps. And of course mood swings. I think my hubby is looking forward to the end of this pregnancy for that reason alone. I will give more updates and the pregnancy moves along!

    You are so awesome! Thank you so much for the info on the carriers!! I am glad to hear the beco is not a good option; that was actually the one I was leaning the most towards buying and if it is going to take two people to get the baby out, thent that will not work for me!! So, I am going to go down the ergo path now :) Thanks so much!!!

    Also, CONGRATS on your pregnancy!! I am so excited for you!!! I don’t know if Sweet Pea’s bday was in the summer or not, but both of mine were and it was actually pretty nice since I could get away with wearing comfy and flowy dresses all the time, so I think summer is my fav. for being pregnant. Congrats!!!! I can’t wait to hear more!! Are you going to find out what it is? I could never wait…lol!
