What a fun, busy weekend we had! Friday night we went to my parents' house to see them and have them see the kiddos, since they were in Hawaii for 2 weeks! Saturday was a crazy day filled with running errands, working on the house, the Denlingers party, and getting ready for Bode's birthday party. Scott & Michael have started renovating the upstairs bathroom and boy has it ever turned into a renovation- they ripped out the shower tile (blue, moldy tile... yuck) and realized there was nothing but drywall behind the tile- not so good!! So Scott & Michael then had to rip out all the drywall, down to the studs!! I will post before/after pictures for sure because right now it looks like something straight out of a TV home renovation show! I'm kinda excited to see the 'after' work, we just weren't expecting such a surprise in the bathroom... that's what happens when you buy an older, fixer-upper I guess! We just keep telling ourselves all of this will be worth it when we sell someday..... hopefully!
Sunday we had a swimming birthday party for Bode for his friends and next weekend we will have a family party for his actual birthday. The swimming party was held at our gym, which has an indoor pool, and we had an Elmo theme- aunt Sara has become quite the cake-maker extraordinaire and she volunteered to make Bode's cake!! What a job she did, it was adorable AND DELICIOUS!!!
Hanging out before everyone else arrived

Bode was so excited and proud to have an Elmo cake
such a big boy
he loved everyone singing to 'him'.... for months now he has been saying 'my birthday in february, i'll be 2' and he says 'people sing happy birthday to ME'
he sang along!!

After the party, the Cohens came back to hang out at our house and have dinner- it's rare that we get to spend a whole lot of time with them, unless it's here and there at my Mom & Dad's house.
Charlie & Bode played really well together in the playroom

Bode found a baby in the toy box and loved it! he kept rocking it back and forth and giving it water- it's so cute to see him like that, I just hope he likes his sister ha!
Bode has finally gotten his 2-year molars and for the past week or two, he has been pretty miserable throughout the day. He has periods where he is happy and fun, but then he can switch it off and just be a bear- probably a mix of teeth and 'terrible 2's' but regardless, we are trying to get through it and prepare for 2 kids! I cannot believe we are parents of a 2 year old and I'm sure it will be even harder to think about being the parents of 2 kids!!
I'm officially in my 3rd trimester now- it's crazy to think I'm starting my 8th month and have about 11 weeks left! I feel like I have so much to do still, but I'm not as anxious this time as with Bode. I think a lot of that has to do with the fact that we know what we are having and are more prepared with clothes, supplies, etc. With bode, we really didn't have much clothing ahead of time and that made me really nervous and anxious. Sleeping for me has gotten really uncomfortable and I know it only gets worse from here- BGM moves all the time and she will even kick me that hard in the middle of the night, it wakes me up! Bode never did that and it worries me she will be even more active than him!!!
I'm sure I will have more pictures and things to update at the end of the week, we have Bode's birthday party for family at our house Saturday night- he wont know what to do with himself having 2 parties haha, what have we started!!
