And he's off!

My mom came into town yesterday to pick up Tripp and take him back to Atlanta. This was to provide me with a short (much needed) break so I'm able to get things straight around here before going to Atlanta and then Disney. Now Tripp has spent the night away from us before- not often, but it's happened. In my opinion it's different driving to a grandparent's or aunt's house and dropping your child off rather than dropping him off at the airport and knowing that if anything goes wrong you can't just jump in your car and swing by. So yes, of course I was emotional- last night and today- luckily not in front of Tripp though. You know me...I'm sitting there trying to hold back tears and Tripp's like "oh bye mama!" with a huge smile on his face. He was so excited to go so that made things easier, and according to my family he's done great! He always loves the attention he gets from everyone in Atlanta.

I do miss him but on the upside I've gotten some things done around here already and Jack's had a chance to get our full undivided attention. First...I've packed away all but our Christmas tree. Yes that's right...Christmas is not even here yet and it's already come and gone at our household. The way T.J. and I see it is that after tomorrow we won't really be back until mid January and who wants to come home knowing they have to take down Christmas decorations?! Not us so I organized them and packed them away. I also got Santa ready for when Tripp gets home so everything is now set up for that. T.J. and I also cleaned almost the entire house. We can't believe how easy things are with one young child! And the bedtime routine!??! Easy as pie with one child who's always ready to crash around 7pm.

As for Miss Charlotte...I started my 26th week today and am definitely starting to feel very pregnant already. I could be mistaken but I think she is still breech because I can feel what seems to be her head in between my ribs. It could very well be her behind but I dont think so. I have a feeling she's getting waaaay too comfortable in the foot down position. She's definitely growing and getting heavier- not too big yet (probably a little over 2 lbs) but I'm already uncomfortable. Tripp was the biggest baby and I don't remember feeling that uncomfortable with him until the very end. I think with each pregnancy, my body just gets more uncomforable earlier. When I return from Atlanta I have my diabetes screening (which I'm sure I'll fail) and I'm really hoping that for once I can pass the 1 hr test.

Anyway, that's all for now. Sorry no pictures- I've been bad lately. I will post some soon. Kind of delirious (I guess that's what happens when your son wakes up at 4am) so I'm off to bed. I hope everyone had a great weekend!
