Woah. I haven't posted in a while!
If I'm being completely honest, it's because I've been in a funk.
If I'm being honest, it's because The Bugs has been giving me a run for my {non-existent} money.
If I'm being honest, I've been stressing myself out trying to get the house/everything ready for a new baby girl who will be here in like a month. EEEEK.
If I'm being honest, I've been missing Omaha. The familiarity, the support of family, the convenience.
I want to touch on some of these subjects more in depth later, but for now I'm here to report that I'm slowly climbing out of my funk......and I couldn't be happier!
During that funk, we had a snowfall {somewhat} worthy of a snowsuit and boots so I had to take advantage and bundle up that Bugs so he could do the whole "snow" experience for the first time! He waddled around like a puffed-up marshmallow. It was presh.

While I'm talking about this little guy, I've gotta tell you just how much he's grown lately. Not so much in the weight category, somewhat in the height {he's rocking the tom sawyer pant look more often than not lately}, but more importantly in the vocab department. This kid talks to me like a person! It's so darn cute. But oh boy does he have a strong personality. He knows exactly what he wants {the apple doesn't.....you know the deal}. And generally speaking, most of the time he wants "more trucks".
Let me just explain to you what 'more trucks' means. It means, "hey mom, let's not stay at home today. Let's drive around and find all the trucks we can. Like the mail trucks, the ups trucks, the fedex trucks, the trash trucks, the big trucks {to name some faves} and all the other cool trucks on the mean streets of the Lou. You guys, my son is ALL boy. He loves trucks! So we try and go somewhere everyday just so we can see "more trucks".
While heading to library storytime on Monday {and to see 'more trucks' of course} we encountered Jude's heaven: Construction work. This consisted of like 3 "Bob trucks" aka bulldozers and other trucks you might find on the hit show "Bob the Builder", let's just say my main man was beside himself. I told him we could see them when we were done with storytime. Big mistake. You might think that a wee one would forget about those trucks when distracted at storytime, right? Oh no. Not my wee one. He screamed the whole time, "More Trucks. Peas! More Bob trucks." He got so out of control that I literally had to explain what was happening to the entire group. He got so out of control that when Miss W walked by to show Jude a picture in the book he grabbed the book to close it, looked right up at the teacher and said, "Allllllllll dooooone! More trucks!" This is my child.
So needless to say, someone's been keeping me busy. Little does he know what's about to him in a little over a month. Dear Lord, help us all!
