Have you ever read these words?
Well, Jerime and I have this cute kiddie CD that Thadeus just loves and is a real lifesaver when we're on the road. We could not understand the words to the song...probably because there are a bunch of kids singing it. So, here they are. It is pretty funny to me. Enjoy. And maybe I'm a sucky mom for NOT knowing the words. I know a lot of kid's songs but this one I had to look up:
Pop Goes The Weasel
All around the mulberry bush,
The monkey chased the weasel.
The monkey thought twas all in fun.
Pop goes the weasel!
Penny for a spool of thread.Penny for a needle.
That's the way the money goes.
Pop goes the weasel!
The painter needs a ladder and brush.
The artist needs an easel.
The dancer needs a fiddler's two.
Pop goes the weasel!
I've no time to wait and sigh. I've no time to wheedle.
Kiss me quick. I'm off, good bye
Pop goes the weasel!

Since my last blog...Thanksgiving and cravings
Well, seems like so much has happened since my last blog. Thanksgiving was a great time. Although we didn't get to be with Jerime's family, I did enjoy it with my side. My aunt and cousins couldn't make it which made it a smaller event than usual but it was still great. Mama made Thanksgiving fixins, like Dressing, Giblet Gravy, deviled eggs, green beans, rutabagas, etc. This year Jerime smoked the turkey. It turned out really well! He brined it the night before. We cooked it Thanksgiving day and everyone thought it was great. The flavor of the Turkey was so good--very moist. In fact, I have a Turkey thawing in the refrigerator now so we can smoke another this weekend. I already can't wait....must be that "eating for two" thing.
Thadeus has gotten all of his eye teeth within a two week period. He did much better cutting these teeth. This child has had the most interesting time getting his teeth. He got them in backwards--he could have been a vampire last Halloween because he got his lateral incisors before his front incisors (wow, I'm using the proper name for the teeth!) Shana would be proud. Anyway, as far as I can tell we are waiting on those two year molars now before we are done with that fantastic phase.
Mom, Tiffany, Melissa and I did the Black Friday Christmas shopping thing. We had a really good time and I got most of my Christmas shopping done. It wouldn't be the same if I didn't wait until two or three days before Christmas to get a couple of items. So I'm sure this will happen.
Thadeus decided to change Mama's name from Grammy to Mimi. So I think this will be something that Makinzie will adjust to easily especially since she had not said Grammy yet. It is so sweet that he just decided to call her that and my mama is just beside herself.
Today was a great day because I heard punkin's heart beat! Today was my 10 week appointment. I couldn't remember what to expect but they put the cool gel on my tummy and that little booger was just a beatin'. The rate was 170 and the nurse swears I'm having a girl. We will see. I did smile deep inside when she said that. Of course, I would be just as happy with a boy. I just want this to be a healthy baby no matter what. Jerime and I decided not to get the first round of genetic testing done, as we didn't get testing with Thadeus either. It's funny--some doctor's offices just do it as part of your regular routine but here they give the option. I've gained six pounds so far. I wasn't too happy with that but this pregnancy has been totally different from the first. Up until the past couple of days, I've had the all day sickness (without the vomiting); and just felt the need to eat all. I have even wanted to eat unhealthy stuff. This aggravates me the most--I'm usually somewhat health conscience. I mean one morning, all I could think about was eating french fries. So I finally left work, got an order of french fries and ate them with my half-caff coffee. Geez. Why are pickles and orange juice so good together? Why can I eat a whole grab bag of crunchy cheetos? Needless to say, this is why I have GAINED SIX POUNDS ALREADY!!!
I need to get my hair trimmed as it is looking shabby and I'd love to get a color....but I should probably wait four more weeks.
Thadeus has enjoyed saying baby and looking under mommy's shirt. He has really started talking now too. He is saying phrases and repeating words. I find myself saying, "Aw, Man" a lot and finally Thadeus has said it...so cute. He has also tried to repeat the word Shoot and it didn't come out the right way so I will try to limit that word now!
How will I balance two babies? I do not want Thadeus to get jealous. I love him so much and feel I cannot love another as much. He is after all my first. How can I love another baby without hurting his feelings?
I think we've decided to move his room into the side room/office room and give the baby the smaller room. This will allow me to be closer to the baby for night time nursing and will give Thadeus the Big Boy room. It is much larger than his room and he is the big brother.
