Now, if only we could name him...

What's that now?
My oldest child is is a boy. I have always kind of assumed I'd be a "boy mom." Not that girls can't be cute or fun or whatnot, but they are really not my bag.
With that said, of COURSE, if this baby is a girl, I will love her to pieces. I will do her hair, take her to dance or gymnastics, and teach her how to be strong and independent.
However... The insinuation that it HAS to be a girl because my first is a boy is MORE than slightly annoying. And it seems to be universal. Everyone I meet seems to have the opinion. It will be so wonderful when we have a gender. Of course then people can start telling us we have to keep trying for a girl...

Disney Marathon Weekend
So, this weekend is the 20th Annual Walt Disney World Marathon Weekend. It kicked off this morning with some 10,000 people running the 5K. I am SO depressed!
Do you know how much I LOVE the Disney Marathon weekend? How running the 1/2 in was the best 13.1 miles of my life?!
Le Sigh.

Stage 5 Clinger
Do your kids ever have a magnet phase? Like suddenly, Ben can't get enough of me. I could be in the same room and that's not close enough, he insists I sit ext to him, or he stand next to me in the kitchen, or I put him to bed only (no Daddy!).
I think it happens more during times when I'm around alot. Like Christmas and Summer Break when we're all home together. I'm gone so much during the school year, I think he just goes crazy when I'm available. Kinda sad really, kind of annoying too!
Not that I don't want to hang out with my kid, just sometimes I can not and he needs to understand that. Like when I'm doing church music, or, in the shower!
So, I just try to spend as much quality time as I can, time that will make him sick of me and then we move on. We'll see how long my shadow lasts this time.

Resolutions
Here we go, for 2013!
1) Faith- always first!
2) Health- gotta make healthy choices, not just for me of course, but the baby as well! Walking everyday and less processed junk is a start.
3) Saving Spree- how much money can I NOT spend this year!
There you go! We shall see!!
