Operation vacate the premise in full affect in T-Minus 44 hours!

So I have decided that Baby Ryde’s check out time has been pushed up a couple weeks. This lil tankzilla is estimating a lil under 8lbs as we speak and momma Chavez is having none of a 10 lbs baby in June. So I had planned to start walking across the beautiful state of Colorado last Thursday after I went in to see the ultrasound people and found out how big he was, it’s never good when the ultrasound tech who does dozens of these a day starts off the appointment with “wow that’s one big baby” ya think lady, Im the one carrying this fool around inside me day after day, I know he’s big!! Well after I left the appointment I was determined to evict his chunky butt within the next few days but that didn’t really fit into Wendo’s schedule. She said something about covering for people and her boss was out, I dunno I stopped listening and agreed to take it easy for one more week. I go in Friday morning to see if Im dilated yet and hopefully they just send me straight to the hospital to be induced hahaha how awesome would that be! But if not Im going to start “running” everywhere, so if Im late anywhere this weekend you know it’s because Im walking there and not driving :)

On another note as the day come closer to being a family of 4 instead of 3 I have been trying to spend as much time with my lil man in his last days of being the only child. There is part of me that is sacred that he’s going to be totally pissed when we bring home Ryde forever and makes me a lil sad for him even though I know he’ll be happy when they are older and he has a brother to play with. Im sure it’s these awful hormones that are making me sad about it and I can’t wait to feel fucking normal again!!! Sorry for the harsh language but Im seriously over this pregnancy thing hahaha I like to choose when I cry and not whenever my body feels like it! So hopefully Luke warms up to the idea of being and older sibling like I did and wants to carry Ryde around like king baby as I did with Big Luke when we were younger. So fingers crossed that he adjust well which I think he will considering he’s been an easy child so far (famous last words I know )

So wish me luck on my mission in my last days of being pregnant
Fooooorrrrr evvvvvvvvvv errrrrrrrrrrr

A Birthday at the Zoo!

So we took Luke to the Zoo on his actual birthday again this year. Josh, Wendo and I all took the day off to take him. It was a beautiful day, not too hot thank god considering I have my own personal lava rock inside me right now. I had considered getting a wheel chair for this adventure since Luke came a month early and I was just outside a month with Ryde at this point but once we got there I was too embarrassed and decided to just tough it out and take a lot of breaks!!! We had an awesome time except for when we had our own episode of when geese attack. We had brought a picnic to eat for lunch and were being stalked by one of the large geese scavenging for food and at one point Luke got up with his sandwich to go look at the polar bear where his Nonny was and the bird lunged at him almost pecking him. Thankfully he didn’t nip Luke as josh almost punched it hahaha which Im sure would have ended us on the news or something. It definitely scared Luke but he didn’t let it bother him for too long so that was good. It was much more fun this year as he recognized the animals and could walk around everywhere. Here are some pics from our day...

Our lil man is 2 years old today!!!!!!!!!!!

WTF!!!!!! How the hell did these past 2 years go so fast!?! Today is a lil bittersweet as I can’t imagine my life without him and can barely remember my life before him (this may be due to my pregnancy brain and Im not quite sure what excuse Im going to use once Ryde is here!) but cant believe its been 2 years already. For the millionth time its going to fast! Im am just so proud of the lil man he is turning into. He’s just so smart and independent and I really couldn’t ask for a better kid and Im not quite sure what I did in life to deserve such an amazing son but I am thankful every single day that he is mine! There’s not a day that goes by that I don’t hug him and tell him how much mommy loves him and how thankful she is that he choose her and I try my hardest to enjoy and appreciate each day with him but still the time is flying and I hate it! But that is life and hopefully once I pop baby Ryde out I won’t have to cry about it daily ;)

We are going to take Luke to the Zoo again today on his actual birthday. We took him last year and he loved it so I can’t even imagine how excited he is going to be this year now that he knows the animals and some of their sounds. So should be an awesome family affair. Ill post pics later!

So we had Luke’s Birthday party this past weekend because with Baby Ryde’s shower coming up, along with Baby Ace’s shower and this couple I know by the names of Cody and Meg are getting married this month also ( I think they may be rushing it hahahaha) there wasn’t a whole lot of weekends left this May! So I had decided to rent one of those big bounce house’s for the kids to play in but of course the weather was suppose to be shitty and I didn’t want to pay a decent amount of money on something they couldn’t play on if it were to snow. Btws Mike Nelson can suck it and every other weather man out there, who else gets to go to work and make guesses all day long and keep their job day in and day out, besides carny folk who guess your weight for prizes!! Anyways thankful Josh had mentioned this to his boss at work who offered his small bounce house for us to use. So josh cleaned out his beloved garage and made it kid friendly so the kids could jump inside if it were too cold outside. Thankfully it didn’t snow and it was in the 50’s so the kids were able to play in the sand box and hit the piƱata and play with bubbles outside. Luke was of course spoiled by all of our awesome family and friends and I can’t say this enough how lucky we are to have such an amazing support system around us who love him as much as we do. We are truly blessed!! So here are some pics and video of his special day…
