We are almost there

Well we are a little less than three weeks due with our second baby girl, Mary Petyon Driskell. ALlison is getting so excited and keeps telling everyone that she is about to have a baby sister. ITs really cute she calls her baby siwsta. All has been about the same with this pregnancy as it was with Allie especially b/c she doesnt move much either in utero, I pray its the same thing as it was with Allie in that I just have chill babies in the womb. We have been doing extra monitoring with weekly sono and NST tests just to confirm that everything is looking good. Which so far so good, they are thinking Petyon is about 6lbs 8oz as of last week so we will see if she is bigger than Allie as I know sonos are off. We have the nursery ready, Allie's big girl room which she is in although its been a harder struggle with her big girl bed vs the toddler and the playroom is still a work in progress. Allison is so cute these days, what a ham. She loves music and still loves the songs if your happy and you know it, you are my sunshine, row row your boat, if all the raindrops were lemon drops and gum drops and then of course any of the songs on her toddler cd from Primrose. She seems to like her class a lot and doesnt cry when we drop off as much sometimes she still does with me but overall she seems very content. We are still working on potty training, she was doing great then we would go out of town and get her off schedule which would throw us through a loop and were still doing that week to week. She is in big girl panties but we have accidents. WE give "treats" to her when she uses the potty, like hershey kisses although Allie would prefer the blue cookies "oreos" Those are by far her favorite. She is still a picky eater and loves her waffles samwiches with only peanut butter no jelly, she loves cheese pizza, mac and cheese, strawberrie,grapes, sometimes bannans, apples, organges, mostly all fruit, spaghetti, lasagna, sometime quesadillas, chips of course. For breakfast she either wants waffle with pb, or cereal and fruit. For lunch we can sometimes do ham/cheese, spaghetti, chicken nuggets etc for dinner its a struggle if she is even hungry as she really wont eat what we are eating unless its like pizza,spaghetti, so she will do either pizza, pbj, fruit, mac cheese, chicken and fruit eating is not a strong suite of hers. :) We had another ear infection recently, next one she has to get tubes, I hope we can make it through without another one. I worry I should have done it alot sooner. RIght now our other struggle is bedtime and getting her to actually get to sleep at a decent hour, I truly think its b/c I let her nap long and later like I put her down at 230 so she doesnt get up until 5 so by 830-9 she isnt sleepy. SO we maybe trying to drop her nap so that she can go to sleep around 730 or maybe i should put her down no later than 1 work in progress. She is just talking so much too, its so cute. I know our lives are about to change so much again, I worry about how she will do but excited at the same time. Cant wait for her to be here. ALlison loves loves loves to paint, mainly with her fingers vs a brush she loves playing with her baby dolls but does not like them to have clothes on she loves watching dora, Mickey Mouse, sophia the princess, she has recently started watching lady and the tramp and cinderella. She still likes Barney and lots of the time she has our IPAD or IPHONE and will watch different things on it like the backyardigans, barney, wheels on the bus. She has also started to love taking showers with us esp her daddy, its pretty cute. she loves going to the mall and riding the horsies, she also goes to chick fil a quite a bit :) and loves to play on the playground. She loves stoty time and is really into animals right now. I need to take her to a petting zoo soon. Anyways I need to go to bed, just trying to jot things down so I can remember them later. Two year olds are pretty funny, crazy, indepedent, cranky, sweet, irrational all in one.
