I want to look up a list of old wives tales that predict gender and see what they have to say about the baby.

I feel like it might be a boy.

Night Number Two.

Was a success!

Aaralyn has been doing awesome sleeping in her toddler bed!!

It amazes me that I can just put her in bed, cover her up, kiss her goodnight, and leave the room- And she stays in bed and goes to sleep! Both nap time and bed time!

In the morning she wakes up, climbs out, and yells until I go get her.

Other than that, nothing exciting going on here. I'm 19 weeks today, but I'll save that for my weekly pregnancy post. I still have to get dressed and take a picture for that. Bleh.

It is so freaking hot. Our air conditioner works amazingly down stairs... But since heat rises and the upstairs is an add on, it isn't so great up there. The air blows out cold, but it just can't compete with the heat. (Unless we put the AC on 65 downstairs.)

We're going to get some window units for upstairs, but for now we have fans so it isn't bad. Thankfully it's going to get out of the 90's and back into the 80's soon. That should help too.

Big Girl.

 

We are going to be needing the crib for the new baby, and I was not about to go buy another one when I had one already.

So, we (I) decided to go ahead and move Aaralyn into a toddler bed.

Paige and Kayelynn were both the same age when they were moved to a toddler bed. (Maybe a few months older.)

Anyway, Seth and I put the bed together, took the crib down, set the crib back up in my room, and then arranged Aaralyn's room.

Aaralyn slept in her new bed all night, until 6:30 AM when she woke up for a cup of milk. She then went back to sleep until 9:30! So, night one was a success! 

The crib is now in my room. Didn't make since to take it completely down and store it for a few months before setting it back up. We still need another mattress, which won't be hard to get... And we'll need new bedding if the baby is a boy. If it's a girl, we have bedding. :)

We find out in 9 days what we're having, and last night Brian got to feel the baby kick!!

Now the only thing we need to do is figure out how to wean Aaralyn from waking up for a cup of milk in the middle of the night. Last night she didn't do it because she went to be a little later than usual, but normally she goes to bed at 8 and then wakes up around 11 or 12 for a cup. Then she sleeps until 8. I want to break her of waking for the 12AM cup. Don't know what to do though. I am thinking of just giving her water. I don't know.

A Post About College.

I have been taking online classes at the University of Phoenix since October of 2013. As of right now I am set to graduate in May of 2015. I am going for my Associates Degree in Health Care Administration with a concentration in Electronic Health Records. I am not sure if I want to continue on and get my Bachelor's Degree or not. 

For the most part, I like it.

There is one downside though. When I was looking for information, one of the reasons I decided on this college was because I would have the freedom to go at my own pace and go my schoolwork when ever I wanted, whether it be on the weekends, middle of the night, whenever.

Of course, they do have a requirement that you must post on three separate day in order to get attendance points, which is no big deal. Usually I would do my work on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. Then I would be done all week.

When we moved, I started doing my work on Thursday, Friday, and Sunday. This schedule worked great for me. Now with this current set of classes, I have things due on Tuesday and Thursday, which messes up my schedule. Obviously it isn't a huge deal for me since I am a SAHM and I am able to do my work whenever, but it is still annoying. I was lead to believe that I would have the freedom to do my work whenever I wanted and that isn't the case.

Something petty, I know, but it bugs me. Lol.

Other than that it's going good for the most part. It's kind of boring because of the classes I am currently taking (Creative Writing, Personal Finance, Communication.) Starting with my next classes though I get to take Math, Science, History - Fun stuff!!

Pretty boring post, I know. :)
