sweetness

There is something so sweet about a sleeping baby.....I wish us parents were getting more sleep. With two kids under two sleep is in short supply here at the Peterson's. But even Caleb manages to get some. So not fair.

Little Ryan

Ryan entered the world on Monday night, he came in at 6 pounds 14 oz, and 19 inches long. MUCH MUCH smaller than Melissa. But he is just oh so cute! Here are some pictures, did I mention he is oh so cute???

I have said this before--I may not be the most beautiful gal in the world but I have FREAKING cute kids.

mmmmm chocolate

For the record I am still as irritable as ever. However, according to the DR today she thinks the baby will arrive by Monday. This is GOOD news. So MAYBE I can return to a normal rational person. But in the mean time I have been baking up a storm. (something about that nesting instinct....)

This is the first time I have ever let Melissa have at the beaters, or lick the bowl. You know normal kid stuff. Kids are supposed to get gooey gross and messy and lick all the batter off the bowls and beaters. Melissa made a HUGE mess, and went straight from high chair to shower.....

For the record there will be no more blog posting until the baby boy Peterson gets here. I am spending my time getting ready for him and praying that labor comes soon!!!

Things that bother me

I have been reading a lot of blogs lately, all my friends and family bolgs talk about what they are grateful for and how wonderful life is for them. So I decided to do the opposite. I am going to talk about all the things that bother me, and since I am 9 months pregnant this list will be LONG! And if you do not have a sense of humor, then stop reading right now and get back to what you were doing. :)

Things that bug me- in no particular order
-people that blog only the good things in their lives, I want to hear about how broke you are, how horrible your kids are and things that happen in REALITY!
-hypocrites
-DR's that refuse to induce you BEFORE the due date, when this had been the plan all along
-little boys that do not listen to their mothers and watch cartoons instead
-diapers that leak
-appliances that break
-husbands that forget they make commitments to the children and then schedule a meeting the same morning
-drive thru workers that do not give you a straw with your drink
-dentists
-medical billers that can not turn your information into the insurance, they forgot.

Things I am jealous of
-friends that actually can grow a garden
-friends that manage their money and can afford trips, furniture and so forth (we do OK on this but we could do better as well. Like beef up the savings account.)
-people that can actually scrapbook well
-artsy people
-people that can manage their 4-10 kids, get them all to school on time, feed them organic well balanced meals, bed at a decent time with all the homework done, and attend sports and activities on time
-people that win the lottery, when will it be my turn??? (uh I guess I should buy a ticket then huh?)

OK, so now that I have done that here are things I like at the moment
-ice from Sonic, I can chew on it ALL day long
-sleep
uh, I think that is it. Just kidding. I know my list of things that bother me are trivial, but they bug me just the same. And yes I know I have a pretty good life all in all, healthy kids, a hubby that I can not complain about (since he thinks I am the best), food on the table and so forth.

I am a grumpy pregnant women so I complain more these days and sneer at listening to how wonderful everyone's lives are. I am not going to try to look on the bright side, or be happy or anything so silly as that. I will be these things when the baby is born. I will also post more pictures when I feel like it, AKA after the baby is born.
