So Behind on Posting... about to get so much worse I'm certain!

We had Maternity photos taken in April and I Love, Love, Love them!!!!  Tomorrow is the big day and I am super NERVOUS!!! I am also extremely EXCITED!  I am kind of sad that this is the end of just the three of us. It is going to be an adjustment to add one more, but I cannot wait to meet my little Taylee girl. Trystan goes back and forth. He tells me he can't wait to see sister and is so excited that tomorrow she is coming out, then he will tell me two minutes later he doesn't want sister to come out she needs to stay in my belly forever. I love this little boy with all my heart!!! He is my everything. He has been my constant shadow for the last three and a half years and I have loved our little adventures. I know there are many more to come, but I also know that they will be very different than they once were. Today we went to the secret garden at the mirage and say the lions, tigers, and dolphins. I took Trystan a couple of years ago and he through his sippy cup in the dolphin pool... I am relieved to report nothing went in the pool this trip!!! After that we went to Burger King. Trystan's all time favorite place to eat... yummy!  Then I took him swimming. to bad none of the outdoor pools are open but probably better that way since the beached whale was sporting a maternity swim suit that is all but too small... HOT I know! Don't worry there are no pictures.! We had a great day today with minimal whining:) Trystan fell asleep in the car on the way home and when I got him out he woke up just long enough to kiss my shoulder twice and tell me thanks for a great day! Such a sweet boy! 
 Eventually I will get pictures posted of both Trystan and Taylee's bedrooms. Trystan's room looks like Mario Vomited in a round about motion all the way around the room! but he loves it and it is really kinda cute. Taylee's pink wall glows! It looks like the light is on in her room all day, but nope just the glow of the sun bouncing off the pink wall. Thank goodness it is only one wall but I love it. 
 I have thoroughly enjoyed being off of work and am not sure I am going to remember how to be a nurse when I have to go back. Even on our roughest days my days at home with my little man were far sweeter and way more rewarding than my nursing career. I haven't had one headache, been nearly as stressed, or even missed work! Grateful that when I do go back it will only be one day a week and the rest of my time will be spent at home being a mommy and wife.
 We have been working on the potty training thing and as far as peeing goes we are doing great!!! Trystan is even starting to ask to wear big boy underwear from time to time. However, if ANYBODY has suggestions on how to get this kid to sit on the toilet and poop PLEASE SHARE!!!! He refuses to sit on the potty, big crocodile tears and lots of screaming that he is scared. Anyone else have a child that is possessive of their poop and just not willing to let go???? We have tried bribing this kid with everything under the sun! Nothing works!!!! He will go get a pull up and put it on to poop if he is wearing his big kid underwear!! I really would like to put him in a little preschool this fall but I have to have him completely potty trained first though I know he would never go at school and he will hold it until he gets home :) 

My Belly looks small in this picture compared to now! Miss Taylee is estimated to be about 7 1/2 pounds a week and a half ago. It will be interesting to see how far off they were with her. Trystan they guessed 2 1/2 pounds over what he was. I am looking forward to having my body back to me again, but kind of sad I will never feel those little kicks, punches, and rolls again! Truly an amazing feeling.  I am so grateful for my amazing husband who has been so supportive! This pregnancy has been far from easy and has taken a toll on both of us, but we are both so excited to welcome this sweet little girl into our family. We are both keeping our fingers crossed that she is way more chill than her high maintenance brother though!!!! He has a lot to teach her... and he feels the need to share with me the things he needs to teach her.... I am a little worried! I think they will be the best buddies though!!! 
I wasn't so sure I liked these silhouette photos at first, but every time I look at them I love them more and more. I loved the look in my husband's eyes in the above picture and I loved the gleam in my son's eyes in the one below! Neither one of which anyone can see but me!
 The bottom picture is one of my favorites! Hope you love them as much as I do!  I have a million pictures to post and I may never get around to it, but I am certain I will get pictures of our newest edition up hopefully sooner rather than later :) Wish me luck the next couple of weeks, I am going to need it!

Those pictures are adorable! And the silhouette ones are way cool! We are so excited for Taylee to come and hopefully we'll be able to come down there before too long! Miss you guys! Good luck!
