Jack is doing great in preschool! He is having a lot of fun with his new friends and teachers. He comes home every day with some new story (today: "Mommy, I pushed my friend. I pushed him in the back and he fell down." Oops...well, some days are better than others.) Anyway, he's really thriving and I can tell it's tiring him out because this is what he does most days as soon as we get home:

In other news, I finally picked up my car yesterday from (I hope) my LAST rental car experience for awhile. My car is fixed as good as new from the minor accident a few weeks ago, and both cars are up to date with maintenance, etc. Both Jack and I are very thankful for have our own car back and to not spend hours waiting in car shops anymore!
However, my last rental car really took the cake. It had super dark tint, chrome wheels, and New Jersey plates. I laughed hysterically when they gave it to me...just call me Carmella Soprano :)

Jack has had a lot of issues lately with (nighttime) sleeping in general. We stick like glue to his normal routine of bathtime, PJ's, quiet time, and then bed. Sometimes it works better than others. He usually goes to sleep okay (although lately it's taken me sitting in his room - "Mommy, sit in chair" as he puts it) but he's waking a lot throughout the night and (we think) sleepwalking. The night before last, Justin was watching TV on the couch. Jack wandered out, mumbling incoherently, and when Justin said something to him, he got really freaked out and ran away - straight into the wall actually - and started crying. So we think he "woke up" when Justin talked to him. But more on that later - he has a checkup with his (new) pediatrician tomorrow so I will be discussing it with her. (By the way, we met her last week and Jack said "ohhhh you are pretty" when she walked in - so yea, she was a hit!)

Other than the sleeping issues, he has been doing great. He's getting very excited (or at least more knowledgeable) about baby sister coming soon. He likes to talk to her, hug her, and he's really excited about taking baths with her so that she can help him play boats. :) I don't have the heart to break it to him that she probably won't be able to "play" for a good year after she's born.

Baby update: she likes me to know she's there. She has been laying on my sciatic nerve since this weekend, making life SUPER painful. I had to call the doctor earlier this week because moving side to side and breathing were excruciating. Thankfully, after ice/heat treatment, rest, and lots of warm baths, she seems to have moved a little. I can at least function again...for now!
Today I had to take my glucose tolerance test. If you are interested,
read here. It is pure torture for a pregnant woman. Fasting, then three separate needle sticks and six vials of blood over a three-hour period. Holy cow! Luckily it's over and hopefully my results are good so I never have to do that ever again!
Finally, I had my first real pregnancy craving yesterday. I HAD TO HAVE green peppers, super cold and sliced and dipped in ranch dressing. How strange! I wonder what's in them that the baby needs??
That's it for now...talk later!
I miss you guys...Jack is so cute! A little tip on the bath. (1) You can bath baby girl in an infant tub in the sick and let Jack "help" while sitting on the counter next to it. Raegan LOVED it and did it every time. (2) Those blow up duck baths float. Yes, normal people know this, but not me! When I tried to let Colin and Raegan take a bath "together", Colin almost capsized. Never did that again!! =) Love you!
