Maternity Photos

This last weekend my little family went to my parents for their farwell Mission address. I was looking at our calendar and this last weekend was the only guaranteed time we really had open.  So I took the chance and did some maternity photos!!!

There are quite a lot that I love!!! I just posted some of my Favs....which are many :-)

 

 

 

 

 

 

ARRGG

My son, who I do adore and love, is driving me crazy!! 

Big T is at this stage, I feel like we have been here for an eternity, of whining and intense frustration!!  Any thing that doesn’t work out just right is an immediate whine or yell.  I can’t seem to figure out how to get him to look at the situation or tell me about the problem more calmly.  We seriously have tried so many different approaches and I’m over it. ARGG...

I also don’t seem to understand him.  Today we went to a play date of sorts and they had a pool out but he refused to get in the pool. Pretty much everything that he did was by himself and didn’t really jump into the action at all.  It made me sad and so very frustrated!!  All he wants is me to play with him and so I thought that this opportunity to play with kiddos his own age would be great, but apparently not.  He has his own agenda and wants to play with their toys, but never the kids themselves.

 I worry that he will never make friends, or that I will be his only playmate ever!!  I’m not going to lie, I sometimes hate being his playmate, it is hard for me to engage without getting bored or distracted.  Plus I can’t just get up and down and all around as easily right now.

I wonder if all this not making friends is my fault?  I seem to struggle with being more friendly and reside to stay at home where I’m comfortable and with someone I know enjoys me and gets me..(ME)!!  But I don’t want that for him, I want him to be more like his dad.  His dad can strike up a conversation with just about anybody.  When we are out and about he talks to strangers and makes them laugh, he is clever and witty and puts people at ease.  Not me, I make things more silent and awkward....

I’m seriously overwhelmed and sad and worried!!
I’m totally going to blame it on the prego hormones, which, by the way, I'm officially 30 weeks today!

SeaWorld & Zoo

In May we were able to go on a vacation!! Who doesn't love those?!  We were able to go with Coach's family to Sea World and the San Diego Zoo!! Big T loved, loved it!!

There were a ton of photos so I narrowed it down :-)

Sea World..
Some of Big T's favorite stops

We Went through the Shark and Turtle places a couple of times!!

The whole day at Sea World I didn't get a family photo, so right before we got in the vehicles to leave we snapped one :-)

San Diego Zoo:
I've just posted each of our favorite animals that we saw :-)
Coach's favorite:

Coach loves Camels, ever since he went to Iraq...(even this shedding one)

 

( He might have more favorites, but I can't remember..I'm blaming it on the prego thing)

My favorites:

(the baby giraffe was a week old, and 6 feet tall)

Big T's favorites: (he has more, but it changes from day to day, these ones are the constant)

  

(For all the family photos we didn't take throughout Sea World, I made up for it at the Zoo!!!)
