We woke up this morning, the sun was shining and both Wyatt and Meira Catherina had huge smiles on their faces! It was beautiful out, not to mention hot and a little humid. I decided, since our pool is not quite ready to swim in because I can't help Jeremy open it this year, that I would get a little kiddie pool until its open. It will also come in handy when I get bigger and can't get in with out Jeremy's help.
I got a cute pink one since its mostly for Meira, blew it up with a pump and got water in it! Wyatt of course had to test it out (to be a kid again) cold water and all! I told him we could go in when Meira wakes up from her nap. Well what happens as soon as she falls asleep? Out of no where the clouds came rolling in. It's not raining and it's still pretty warm, but I wanted the sun to warm the water a bit. We'll see how this pans out but it's not looking good😒.

A day at North Landz Train Museum
Today was A LOT of fun. We live really close to North Landz so my aunt, her friend Patty, Wyatt, Meira and myself went. It was pretty pricey (13.95 for the adults and 9.95 for Wyatt plus 2.75 for a train ride). This place is HUGE. If you plan on going you need at least two hours. Especially if you go with a little (or big) train buff. I was shocked. This was my first time as well.
Every time a train would go through one the exhibits, Wyatt's eyes would completely light up! It was too cute. At one point he got so excited he screamed like a girl!!! I was in absolute heaven watching him get so caught up in this massive model train set! The details he would notice were remarkable! There was a Mater in one of the displays and i would have never noticed, the trains them selves would have details he would point out and it just made me realize how much he really takes in! I am so proud of my boy!

Wyatt is getting so big!
Wyatt is into everything lately. Not in the need to baby proof sort of way, but the stay out of Mommy and Daddy's room sort of way. He seems to have it in his head he is the king of the house and can do whatever he wants now. Today for example. He was playing quietly with his matchbox cars on the floor downstairs where his toys are. Meira was playing with him and I was at the table getting her diapy bag ready for Meira's Dr. Apt and he snuck upstairs! I told him to come down and asked him why he snuck upstairs instead of asking. He said,
"You would've said no"!
I tried so hard not to laugh at the look that said "DUH". I told, him trying to hold back the huge smile fighting to stay back, that I would say no because I like for him to stay where I can see him. He said fine and went back to his cars. I love my boy so much!

Update!
Well that was a waste of time! We saw the PA ( ugh ). She said that we need to go to the allergist, duh! And then she went on to tell me I probably over reacted!!!! Really!? My baby was covered in hive and having diarrhea! The ER docs all said I reacted promptly and did what I could. Lets just say that waiting an hour after our apt for this yahoo, means one unhappy prego mama!
Possible peanut allergy: Meira's trip to the ER
Yesterday was the day we tried Peanut Butter for the first time. Our Dr ok'd it since peanut allergies are not common on my side of the family and not to severe on DH's. Now I have heard of people actually putting PB on their kids first and my Dr, looked at me like I had two heads. She had PB on a English muffin, and loved it. She tasted it before and never had any problems so I wasn't looking for any!
Looking back now, around 12:00 she became very cranky and clingy. It seemed odd to me but I chalked it up to the diaper rash she woke up with after her morning nap. That was the first sign and I wish I had known! I feel like such a horrible mom!
Fast forward to dinner. She was cranky really didn't want to eat and she just wanted to be held. She started tugging at her dress like she wanted it off so I let took it off and noticed she was red and splotchy, I knew right away what could be happening and called the dr. They said give her bennadryl and get her to the hospital. I looked quickly and could not find bennadryl. At that point Jeremy came home and i noticed her splotches turned to hives and we brought her to the ER, we literally live two minutes away, she had no breathing problems so I didn't feel an ambulance was necessary. When we got to the ER we were brought straight to a room and her eyes were red and a bit swollen. After they realized she had no breathing problems we began the infamous Hunterdon Medical Center wait!
It got scary a little while later she began to try scratching her mouth, and then she got her steroids. She threw them up and began itching her mouth again so they gave her a shot of steroids. She got bennadryl and I swear the nurses must get afraid when they are around moms because I had to give her both the oral steroids and bennadryl! Seriously?
Anyway once she got her bennadryl four 3 hrs later we were free to go! To me the poor kid was so itchy she should have had it sooner. At least now I have some in the diaper bad along with peanut free snacks, epi pens and sanitizing wipes for hands and surfaces when we are out.
I will update after her dr apt.

My Little Stinkerbelle Nursing
.JPG)
It saddens me that I am not cut out for tandum nursing. While I gave it my best go, I nursed her exclusively with out solids to 6 months, and with solids to 12 months and now as we aproach 13 months she only nurses in the morning, before bed, and if she wakes up in the middle of the night we co-sleep so she latches then. So I guess I am still qualified as Tandum Nursing. Unless she weans completely before Soybean is born.
My HG has let up so much since we weaned a bit. Only one trip to the hospital after my hospitalization. I feel a lot better and my body is thanking me, although I am still losing weight. This pregnancy is by far the hardest. I really think its a boy but I haven't gotten that definate "feeling" yet. I am 11 weeks and 1 day, so I should be getting it soon. I usually get it between 12 & 14 weeks. :)
Qick update!
This past year has been wonderful! My beautiful Daughter Meira Catherina will be 1yr 1mth on the 8th and I am so super excited! It seems like only yesterday I was TTC her and I will eventually post her VBAC birth story. I will say this, while it wasn't the NUCB/Hypnobirth (natural unmedicated child birth) I wanted it was still beautiful. I think that I can say that because I learned a lot about my body that day and know that a NUCB/Hypnobirth is still an option for me if I want it. That being said I am currently expecting our third little bundle of christmas joy... you guessed it, ON CHRISTMAS. It will be intresting to see what day He or She decides to join our family. We are not going to find out this time.
Jeremy (my DH) and I have asked our cousins Kat and Matt to be Soybean's Godparents. I am honored they both said yes! I hope this time will be much easier with the church because I really do want all of my children raised Catholic. After long talks with Jeremy we feel that its best. Neither of us were raised Catholic, although while I never made my sacrements because of my mother and father, I was brought up in Catholic lifestyle after my parents divorced and I was adopted by my Aunt at the age of 15. He was raised LDS (well loosely) and I talked to him about it and he is adimently against even talking about it. So I have decided to drop it and accept his veiws.
Wyatt, my little man, is "The Bestest Biggest Brother" any Little Sister could ask for. While yes, they have their brother/sissy moments, he is so protective of her! She is his "best girl" and he loves to teach her new things. Recently he's been trying to teach her to eat with a fork by herself. He tries to show her step by step what to do and is remarkably patient with her for a 4 year old. Wyatt is also my big helper. He likes to help me was dishes, clean (ha ha not really), and he likes to help get things for me. If Stinkerbelle needs a dipe change, he gets the wipes and stuff. Its so cute. I am going to be sad in September when he starts half day pre-school. I feel like my baby is growing up and leaving me behind. Silly but he will always be my first baby. I keep seeing him as my little preemie peanut, not a bike riding, lunch toting preschooler lol!
