It’s been so long since I’ve actually written anything on
here… and since I’m sure you’re all dying to hear about life…
First: Cole
Whoever coined the term “terrible twos” is a liar. There was
nothing terrible about Cole at two. Sure, we had a few moments, but it really
was not bad.
Now the three’s… we technically haven’t even hit them yet
but YIKES! Talk about testing boundaries and throwing shit-fits. I love that
kid to death, but when Jason was gone hunting last weekend… I swear I almost
sold him on Craig’s List.
Other stuff about Cole. He’s doing really well at his new
school. He LOVES to sing and has a really good ear for beats/rhythm. I think we
might have a musician on our hands. He still loves sports (hockey, golf,
football and basketball – all in the house) and is very exciting to go skiing in
Montana over Christmas. He’s also been talking about learning to skate so I
think hockey will be happening next Winter. We just finished his first round of
swim lessons… again, he loved it, so we’ll be investigating the next set of
classes once the Holidays are over.
Cole’s vocabulary continues to amaze me as well as his
ability to transfer concepts to like situations. He’s definitely a smart kid…
well beyond where he should be… and I’m hoping that continues more than
anything!
Last, he’s excited to have a baby brother and somewhat gets the
concept. I think he’ll get it even more as my stomach gets bigger and as we get
closer to d-day.
Next week will be Cole’s third birthday! I can’t believe he’s
so old… but I more can’t get over how big he is. I’ll have to update this with
actual stats once we get them, but our home estimates put him at 42” tall, 40
lbs, wearing size 5T clothes and size 10 shoes. My future front hallway will be
filled with giant clown shoes…
Second: Baby Boy Rogowski #2
This pregnancy has been a lot like the first. No morning
sickness, food aversions or cravings, no weird allergies or anything else to
report. I was dreadfully tired, way more than with Cole, for the first 4 months
or so… but luckily that’s ended.
I’m also gaining weight like I did with the first… so that’s
not the greatest… but oh well! Things could be worse!
We just had my 20 week appointment and everything is looking
good. The babe is measuring about a week bigger (Cole was the same) but
everything they checked has been perfect.
My doctor continues to harp on me about gaining weight… and
wearing heels. Note to self: Do not wear 6” heels to the next appointment unless
you want to get yelled at about personal safety!
Nothing else much to report – this pregnancy is going by
faster in some aspects but a little slower in others. I’ll be happy to have a
new lil’ man around the house, but I’ve COMPLETELY blocked out what it’s like
to have a newborn, so I think we’re in for a rude remembrance come mid-April.
Last: J and I
Work for both of us has been busy. Lots of travel so we’ve
been VERY fortunate to have grandparents around to hang out with Cole. We’re
getting excited to head out to Montana next week for Christmas with J’s family…
But before that we’ll be celebrating sis-mas with my family, I’ll be heading to
Vermont for work, then Cole’s superhero birthday party… so just a few things to get to before vacation!
Once we get back, we'll be wishing Nana and Papa Pugh a farewell as they head to FL for three months! I have no comment as I gaze outside to the -7 degree weather.
Before I end this lengthy update, have to say a huge
congrats to all the expecting parents, new parents and newly engaged couples
out there!!! The past few months have been filled with exciting life-updates
and we’re hoping for a few more over the next couple of months…
Thanks for reading and hope you all are having/will have
some very happy Holidays!
Brit
