Tonight was a BIG night in the Brown household! Mason went room to room searching for and collecting all of his pacifiers (or "buddies" as we call them). After they were all gathered up, we explained to him that the Paicifier Fairy was going to come in the middle of the night and take them to all of the little babies who really need them! Surprisingly, he did not have a hard time with this...maybe because he knows he is going to get a present in the morning and his love language is gifts (just like his dad). So off he marched to put them on the front porch. He did not ask for buddy as he went to bed, but it is taking him much longer to fall asleep. I hope it is not a long night and that we are done with the pacifier forever!

1st Trip to the Library
Lefty (Grandpa Rusty will be proud!)
Mason's first trip to the library went pretty smoothly. The whole way there we talked about how we had to be quiet and use our "inside" voices. I tried to explain that people were there to read, he kept telling me we needed to whisper because people were there to sleep, but whatever works.He first spotted the huge bin of toys and quickly went over and dumped them all out. So much for being quiet! We did end up reading a few books, picked a few to take home as well as 2 DVD's and even colored a picture. The librarian was very nice and even invited us back for their Wednesday morning kid program where they have music and story time. That may be our best option rather than going while the adults in there are trying to read and concentrate.
We did enjoy our field trip and have already read through all of the books once!

26 weeks
I know what you are thinking (especially if you read my last post), but I promise I am only up by 5-7 pounds from my pre-pregnancy weight even though it looks like I am up by 30!!!
Appointments
I went for two appointments today.
I called first thing this morning to see if my dermatologist could see me. I have two little spots of skin that always seem irritated and wanted them looked at. Thankfully they were able to fit me in and she removed both of them. She said they did not look good and it is never a good sign when they stay irritated and don't heal. So, now I just have to wait to make sure that everything comes back clear from the lab. She wants to rule out Basil Cell. I am praying that both will come back fine.
I also went for my 26 week OB appointment. I gained a bit more weight, so I am now 20 pounds up from my very first appointment but only 5-7 pounds above my starting pre-pregnancy weight. So that means...more ice cream!!! LOL
I was relieved that all of the pressure I have been feeling is nothing to worry about. She said it could be a combination of things, but she is not concerned about it. She is sending my urine out to just make sure I don't have a UTI. We decided that Kailee will be joining us on May 28th if all goes as planned and she does not decide to come early. That is my grandpa Rutherford's birthday who passed away when I was little and I think it would be special for them to share a birthday.
I go back in 3 weeks for another appointment and the nasty glucose test. Yuck!

Looking Ahead
I am looking forward to my appointment on Wednesday. I am now 26 weeks and am feeling a lot of pressure. I did not have that with Mason so I am not sure what is going on. Andy is making fun of me since I am already waddling instead of walking.
These pregnancies have been so different! I am guessing it is from all of ligaments being stretched and pulled in all sorts of directions. I also think it is from carrying and lifting Mason. I try really hard not to, but it is hard to avoid sometimes. I am also much bigger at this point than I was when I was pregnant with Mason (it could be from all of the double cheeseburgers-I am hooked on them!)
Only 13 more weeks to go...

Expensive Wash!
I washed the most expensive load of laundry yesterday!!!
Andy usually leaves his clothes bed-side as he falls into bed late at night. I usually notice that they occasionally make it to the dirty clothes hamper, but the majority of time they do not. So, yesterday I swooped everything off of the floor, dumped it into the hamper started the first of many loads.
As I went to put everything into the dryer I noticed that his zip-up jacket was a bit heavy and sure enough in the pockets I found his new Ipod and our new tiny video camera that we have only owned for a couple days :(
We have had numerous discussions in the past about pocket checking and who should be responsible, however neither of us do it.
I feel awful and am crossing my fingers that both will work after they air out for a few days!!
