Attempting to be a Super Mom

Today, the weather was wonderful and we took advantage of the beautiful day! It's hard to believe that it's still August as today was a little bit cool. We opened up the windows today and let the house air out. Shawn fed my cravings for yummy ravioli by picking up Paisano's artichoke and spinach ravioli. It's expensive but well worth it as it definitely exceeded my expectations. I have some left for lunch tomorrow too. He picked up a less expensive Bambinos for himself and Ben. After our early dinner/late lunch, we went on a walk to the little park out here in our neighborhood. It's really just a big open field where Ben and Maya can just run and play. We took bubbles with us, which turned out to be lots of fun as Ben and Maya both tried to catch/eat them. Shawn also threw his empty pop bottle for Maya to fetch (we forgot a ball) until he found a good stick later. We really had so much fun and wore them both out. We came back, gave Ben a bath and watched Trueb...

I always seem to try to do things with Ben around lunch time or nap time. I know it's because that's when Shawn brings me the car and we take him back to work. Since I work evenings and we don't have a car until around noon or one, it makes it hard to do anything else. Today, it was the library. We went after taking Shawn back to work. I've learned that his patience runs out quickly so if I want any books, those have to be found quickly and first so he can help me find his books after where he doesn't have to be so quiet. Today, he wasn't even happy picking out his books. There was one point where he was playing and laughing with another boy about his age. I couldn't find this child's mother or whoever brought him to the library anywhere, so I let Ben and him play where I could watch them both, picked out some books, and then took this child to the desk in the kids area when I left. I thought it was really sad. I never let Ben out of my sight ...

That I have a good excuse for not blogging in a while. We cannot blog at and work. My laptop was down and I was waiting on my wonderful yet busy husband to find the time to fix it for me. Ok , so big news that some people already know... 1. Shawn got a new job. It's with the same company he's been working for but now he's in sales. It came with a pay raise and he's super excited. 2. We are planning on moving in the next month or 2. 3. We are expecting baby #2. I'm due on March 6 th . Today we heard the heartbeat for the first time. I forgot how exciting it is. I also forgot exactly how hot my doctor is. I remember him as hot, but seriously, either it's the hormones, bad memory, or his aging. He is... Wow! That's all I can say. Shawn and I really are excited to be having another baby. We talk to Ben about it all the time, but I don't think he really understands. Woohoo I told you good things were coming our way and now I've ...
