You never ever in a million years think that your child could possibly be a brat. Well, I will be the first to admit it, Reagan is a brat tonight. Brian went to put her to bed and she of course was mad because he wouldn't lay by her for hours and then flipped out. She holds her breath when she gets mad and then of course tried to get up and walk and passed out and hit the wall. That made it even worse. So after 10 minutes of trying to get her calmed down I went to give her some medicine for her nose and it went down the wrong tube. Bawling and more bawling. Brian took her to go get her blanket and once again she went into all out hysteria because she thought he was going to put her to bed. I don't know what the big deal is but she doesn't like Brian to put her to bed. What a particular little brat. I don't know if it is an age thing, a too tired thing or what. I know that some of you are saying "that apple doesn't fall far from the tree" but I never got called Stormy or Ethel either. She is so particular right now. She doesn't like me to change her diaper or she won't eat very good for me but when Brian asks her to eat her food she does so willingly. Can't wait till I have one more to contend with.
On top of that, she takes like 2 hours to go to sleep at night and has been waking up at 5 am. I am not a morning person to begin with but 5 Am. The other night she woke up 3 different times and then was awake at 6:30 for the day. So we both were ornery and tired and we had to stay together all day. So I am not sure what to do with her. I think a lot of her problem is she is not getting enough sleep and because of that she is tired to really think straight. I am like that most days.
Now for the better stuff I guess. Our garage is partially framed up and trusses will be here on Monday. Yeah! We have carpet in our office downstairs and we hydroseeded our lawn. However, there is not enough pressure with our water to get our sprinklers working great so I have to hand water a little. It is a pain. I am not sure if the pump is down or what but it sure is annoying. So things are getting done. Sometimes it seems like a snails pace and other times it is a little faster. I will be glad when it is all done. Last week I was stressed because I felt like I had no control over any part of my life and this week I could care less. So I sit on my couch and think gosh I should do something. Gotta love being pregnant.
Good Things
1. Sanity, something I wish to have someday but probably never will
2. Progress
3. 9 1/2 weeks to go.

Happy Weekend
Hope you all had a fabulous Memorial Day Weekend. Ours was great. We went to Moms on Saturday for a little BBQ in the cold with everybody. It was good. On Sunday we headed south to the state below us to see family, visit graves, and more to go shopping. Me more than Brian. We stayed at the condo and it was so weird not to have Ginny there. The cemetaries were great. Mary told us some funny stories about everyone. On Sunday, we had dinner with Mary and Bob. It was great to see them as we don't get to very often. Monday I did a little bit of shopping and had a nap. It was rainy and very overcast but at least it was not snowing.
Today, I am just trying to catch up with laundry, house cleaning, and whatever I catch up on. It seems like I have been on the computer all day accounting to not much of anything getting done. I do have my list though. Tomorrow I am going to pick up a changing table and hopefully this week can get the baby's room kind of set up. Today is the day too, where I feel we have way to many projects going on and NOTHING is getting done. Everything is in disorder and I don't like it. I think it mostly pregnant Brooke talking but maybe not. We made a headboard for our bed on Saturday. It is cool and I like it. A 2 year project in the making that really took about 2 hours. Sometimes I have the best intentions. So instead of updating my blog I probably should get to the rest of the intentions for today and see if they actually get done.
Great Things
1. Intentions
2. Mini vacations
3. Only 11 weeks left to go YEAH!!

We did it
Reagan did it. She slept in her own bed and all night long and she didn't even fall off. After much banging on the door, Brian went in and consoled her and she was out. We will see what naps brings and what tonight brings.

Its gonna be a long night
Tonight is the first night with the bed for Reagan. I keep telling myself that I am ready but tonight I as put her to bed and she bawls and keeps knocking on the door I am not so sure. I don't know who change is harder for, the child or the mom. She is still in her bedroom lying in front of the door I am pretty sure just whimpering like a little puppy every now and then. At some point I will probably get sick of it and go in the time is getting sooner because currently she has something and is banging it on the door. She doesn't exactly know what is going on. She knows or at least she tells me there is a baby inside me but I don't think she really knows what that means. We will find out in still too many weeks. Change is inevitable though each of us deals with it everyday.
I am just getting larger and larger. I cannot bend down without thinking that I am going to die or my legs are going to fall off from lack of circulation. I planted my garden and halfway through I kept thinking "what am I thinking?" My hands and feet are starting to swell and it has just started to get hot. .
We just upgraded I guess anyway to a van. I know I thought I would never do it but gas prices are high and I am too practical to pay for a SUV. Really it is because I am cheap. I think we will like it. The space and everything about it. Hopefully we will drive it for years, ions I mean.
I am about to my breaking point. I think she has the garbage can and who knows what else, but she is not sounding tired at all in there.
We are building a new garage right now. What a mess. Our house is a disaster everywhere. We are working on the yard. Well, let me just put it this way...what aren't we working on? It will be great when it is all done but in the process it is a little scary.
Great Things
1. Peace and quiet, Not right now but sometimes
2. Gardens
3. A husband who supports me and doesn't seem to even mind the nagging.

May Day
So its May 1st and it snowed last night. I wish we had normal weather so I could get my garden in and the rest. I need to move somewhere warmer. I hate this yuck of weather. I am sure that T's garden is halfway planted and everything is blooming well come visit.
We celebrated Reagan's birthday on Friday night with Grandma's and Grandpa's. She loved the cake and presents and having everyone there. She got puzzles, clothes, a sand bucket, and a bike. She loves them all. She loves to be outside and could be all day just wandering around but it has been cold. On Saturday, we took her out while we worked, mostly Brian worked and she chased killdeers all around the yard. She had such a great time. We are all really looking forward to summer since spring is not here.
As always, we are in the middle of remodeling. We are finishing a bedroom downstairs for the office and finishing the hallway and tearing down a garage and building a 2 car garage with access to the house and maybe a bonus room above it. It will be so nice. When that is all done we will finish the other bedroom downstairs and the bathroom. Hopefully we will also add siding and a new roof this summer and make our yard look better. What a work in progress.
Good thing's
1. A Husband who is extra handy
2. Garden Centers
3. Looking Forward to warm weather

It's Here
Spring really is here! I am so excited. My tulips and all my bulbs are flourishing not yet blooming yet but soon. The weather is so much warmer well not lately but it has been. The wind is awful.
In the last month, I went to my sister's to watch her kids while her and her honey went to Orlando to play. Reagan loved the kids and every time we took them to school or dropped them off somewhere she had to ask me about a million times "where they go". Then she wanted to know "when they be back". You are glad that they are able to talk, but after the 150th time of the same phrase it is a little old. Reagan got to play outside and she loved it. I didn't do much of anything while I was there. Just played the chauffeur. I had a good time though. It was a different kind of busy than I am used to. Some day I will have that kind of busy. Glad I could help.
This week is Reagan's birthday. She will be 2. I hope they will be terrific twos, but I think we may have already set a pattern with the bubble spilling all over the carpet and her little fits. Oh well life has to be interesting in some way.
We are doing some remodeling in our basement trying to finish that project so we can move onto the next one. The room for the office is almost finished and then we can move all that down and have a baby room. I am really looking forward to being done pregnant. I don't love it and just want the end product. I told Brian to look forward to a summer of whining and complaining as I already hurt everywhere. I told him I needed to have an attitude adjustment. Reagan loves to touch my belly and say baby and kiss it. She doesn't have a clue really about what is going to happen and I am not sure how she will deal with it. All I know is I will not be able to put the baby anywhere she can get to him or he will have bruised all over from being drug around. I hope he is good natured.
Good Things:
1. Spring and Projects
2. Husbands who say you don't whine
3. Hobbies
