That's right! Owen is going to be a BIG BROTHER! I'm only about 9 weeks right now, so we are looking at an early February baby. Things are going pretty well - some nausea and lots of fatigue, but that's to be expected. I went to the doctor about a week ago, but nothing fun or exciting to share yet. Hopefully at my next appointment (July 23) they will do an ultrasound.
Owen changes his mind just about every time that you ask him if he wants a girl or boy baby, and I do too! A boy would be nice because we already have the clothes and toys, but a girl would round out the "perfect" little family! So I guess we will just pray for HEALTHY!! (I'm still really anxious to find out, so I know if I can get rid of all Owen's old clothes or not!)
As for an update on Owen: we made it about a week and a half in the big boy bed before deciding it wasn't worth the nightly fight. He did GREAT for about a 5 or 6 nights, and then for whatever reason decided that he wanted to sleep with us. NO, THANK YOU! I finally asked him if he wanted his crib back and he told me yes, so we put the side back on and he said, "Thank you, Mommy!" and went right to sleep. Must have been a security thing. But now that we have Baby Burke #2 on the way, I'm getting nervous about how the switch is going to go the next time around. We are going to have to get a whole new bed, since we will use the crib for #2.
Otherwise, Owen has been learning so much and LOVES to be outside, to camp, to swim, to play cars and everything else a little boy would like to do! He talks up a storm, is awesome at counting (and the ABC's, but he's been good at that for awhile now), and loves to sing and dance. His favorite song is DJ Has Us Falling in Love by Usher. He just can't help but dance to it! :) He also really likes Rumor Has It by Adele. He's a silly little punkin.
His daycare took a little fieldtrip to Hansen's Dairy Farm in Hudson last Friday and he had so much fun. He got to pet baby calves, milk a fake cow, and feed grass and flowers to a wallaby! (Wallabies are like kangaroos, only smaller.) Johnna said he thought the wallabies were big rabbits! He's been talking about the cows and wallabies ever since the trip. I just wish I could've gone, too! It's so fun and funny to see how excited he gets. The same goes for going to the pool in town. Ryan said he was going to tell me that I should take Owen to the pool after work one day when he had a meeting, but he didn't because he wanted to go, too, because he loves how excited Owen gets and how much fun he has. What a sweet Daddy!
And last, but not least, Owen finally sat still long enough for me to cut his hair. It was getting pretty long, but I bribed him with a brownie last night. You can see in the video that it's cut, but here's a cute picture, too!
