I am really getting tired of

Seeing this.........

when all I wanna see is THIS!

This is probably not the forum to put this out on but I think i'll feel better if I vent a little. We have been trying for another precious angel for a while now, 10 LONG MONTHS that is. The first couple of months I told myself, no big deal you're just starting it'll happen just don't obsess about it. I did pretty good for the first couple of months. I went with the flow after all I was busy with a sweet 1 1/2 year old, work, school, birthdays, and Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays. I even did good the first few months after that but then as if I didn't have the baby bug bad enough, everyone around me became pregnant. I know you're thinking "ok your exaggeration Loren, not everyone is getting pregnant." Oh no? Try 20 some odd people I know pregnant. Most of these people have either already had their baby or are due this summer. Which makes it even harder. I've been to 4 baby showers in the last 2 months. I love my friends dearly and I am TRULY thrilled and happy for them and can't wait to meet their sweet babies and love on them. I'm just ready for my turn as well.

I probably sound like I don't love my family now, and that is not it at all. I LOVE Wade SO much. He is EVERYTHING to Brody and I! I just see so many people with kids close in age and see what good buddies they are and I want that for Wade. Also, we would really love it if God allowed us to have three children so I would love for baby #2 to begin forming and making his/her way to the world. And I see how much love one child brings to a family, I know that love will only double with two.

I know everything happens for a reason and God's timing is perfect, I have clearly seen that with Wade. I never would have imagined being married only 5 months and finding out I was pregnant but I wouldn't have had it any other way. I know the Lord is a faithful and loving God and he will bless us with another little angel in HIS timing. I pray that he will just calm my nerves and prepare my heart for each month that is NOT the month. And I pray my mind will stop playing games with me. I must remind myself PMS is a lot like pregnancy symptoms, however, I seem to forget that each month.

21 Months

Wade, I don't know where the time has gone. I feel like I blink and you have changed or you are doing something new. I love it and hate it all at the same time. I love how much you are talking and telling us what you need or want, I hate that my sweet baby boy is getting SO BIG!! Here is what you are up to.

You are repeating A LOT of things we say! You say on your own- K, come on, Love you too, bite, please, thank you, cookie, cracker, juice, milk, yes, no, Elmo, Hi, Bye Bye, Morning, Outside, Poppy, Grammy, Papaw, NonNon, Mama, Dada, baby, Ta ta (Tucker), Ade (Wade) and about a million other things i can't seem to remember right now!

You repeat almost anything though, my favorite right now is "See ya in the morning." I tell you this every night as I'm walking out of your room and you have started saying it back, my heart swells up with joy when I hear it. Of course my favorite thing is when I say "I love you" you quickly reply with "Love you too." No words have ever been so sweet!

You are into everything and the little boy in you is coming out more and more. You LOVE to climb on things, you have ridden your airplane off the coffee table a couple of times, you can ALWAYS find mud or make mud with the water hose when mom isn't looking. You LOVE to be outside as well. If your in a crabby mood going outside is a sure fire way to make you happy!.

When we talk to you you have gotten to where you always reply back with a yes or no or something! It seems that you understand more and more what we are saying.

You are really into Toy Story right now, you still love Elmo, and poor Nana is STILL tagging along everywhere we go.

You and Tucker McClure have become quite the friends. Y'all get excited to see each other in the mornings at daycare.

We have already blown up the pool several times and you LOVE the water. You think swimming is pretty cool. You still love to take long wagon rides and the park is your favorite place to be.

You LOVE popcorn right now! It's your favorite snack! You even ask for it in the mornings when you get up.

I'm pretty sad, we are converting you crib to the toddler bed next weekend. You haven't even offered to climb out of it yet but I know the day is coming. Plus Mommy will be student teaching this fall and we want you in a good routine and use to sleeping in a big boy bed by then. Summer is the perfect time for this! I'm sure I'll be updating on this soon!

You are doing so much now and we love it! I miss the little baby that just wanted to snuggle but love the big sweet boy that offers kisses, hugs, and "love you toos!" I can't believe in three short months you'll be 2! These have been the best 21 months ever! We love you so much and can't wait to see what the summer holds! Blessing to you sweet angel boy!

I've been...

Really busy these last couple of weeks! If it hasn't been one thing it's been another. I have mainly been busy studying for my teacher certification exam. I've been so stressed over this silly test that my poor family has suffered a little. My mind has been else where and I've been WAY TO UPTIGHT for the last month or two. However, I am happy to report that after lots of hours studying and many many night on my knees praying, I PASSED!!!!!!! The Lord is SO FAITHFUL! No more studying for this Momma! It's going to be a fun and relaxing summer with my boys! Nothing but pool time and cookouts! WOO HOO!! (Relaxing in the blow up pool)
(Nothing's better than Mom and Dad's bed when your sick!)

This past week poor little Wade had the chicken pox! It was kinda a weird deal. He had strep throat really bad two weeks ago and the doctor said since he had his chicken pox vaccine he probably wouldn't have gotten the chicken pox wherever he was expose to them, however, since he had strep so bad his immune system was weak and he got them. Luckily, he got them early and it was a VERY LIGHT case! And thankfully he felt great the whole time! He just couldn't go to daycare all last week! So he stayed at his Grammy and Poppy's for two nights and Mommy stayed home with him two days and then two sweet friends kept him another day! Needless to say he was so happy to see all his friends and Miss Aaron at daycare this morning! (Headed to daycare to see his friends)

Besides our family chaos I've also had a ton of baby showers! I'm surrounded by pregnant friends right now which has been a little hard since I would LOVE to be pregnant right now too but that's another story for another post. Anyway, I've been lucky enough to get to help or through baby showers for some of my dearest friends so that's kept me busy as well. I am happy to report this coming weekend will be a LAZY event free weekend for the Wright family and we wouldn't have it any other way! We plan to kick back, BBQ, swim and enjoy each other! What have you been up to??
