Coke Zero --I totally know that soda is one of the worst things to drink. I really try to stick to my daily coffee and water. For the longest time the only calorie free soft drink available here was Coke Light. It's supposed to be like Diet Coke but tastes nothing like it to me. Enter: Coke Zero. Some genius here figured out that Coke Zero would sell well and it has been on the shelves. I like it better and it's a nice treat. Let's just hope I can limit it appropriately.
Popcorn--Obviously there is nothing new and different about popcorn. For some reason it became my late night pregnancy snack of choice. Most likely because in the beginning it didn't make me throw up and towards the end it would keep me from waking up at 3 am starving. Plus getting the plain kind is really not to much of an unhealthy snack. When I did Weight Watchers and First Place I often turned to this delightful snack. Bonus: It humorously reminds my of my sweet friend Leslie, who used to attempt to lure me to her house child predator style with a sing song voice saying 'We have popcorn!' (Sorry Leslie, but I still think of that each time I eat popcorn...and to everyone else, Leslie is NOT a child predator but a wonderful mommy of two.)
Go-to outfit--Black shirt, denim capris--both maternity, poo :(--red shoes and either one of the red necklaces I bought in Thailand. Nothing special but for some reason I feel put together and that counts. I carry and actual purse and not just shove everything in my pockets and I put on makeup. It's the closest thing to real clothes that I have right now.
Bennett--I know us moms are supposed to think of each child equally but my Benny has just exploded with his language, and it makes me smile. When we left for Thailand much of what Bennett said we were not able to understand, meaning those outside of our family were at a complete loss. I was really starting to worry that the child has some serious speech issues and was going to need therapy. While we were in Thailand he did a little language jump. It turns out his little brain was confused between Chinese and English and the different sounds of each language. We speak English (obviously) and our helper and everyone else around us speaks Chinese (obviously). Just two months of all English has made a HUGE difference. Here are some of my favorite things he's been saying lately:
-Daddy...I Jet Ray. I kill you! OK? (Jet Ray is from Ben 10 and killing people is not something we allow them to say but thanks to Cartoon Network we have to work on that now. Plus he did ask if it was ok.)
-Mommy I love you! Mommy I love Daddy. Mommy I love Judah. Mommy I love Kirby. Mommy I love _____ ! (I love it!)
-Don't cry Judah! Mommy, Judah is crying. The Baby, he's crying... (on and on)
Sleep--I can't get enough. If I sit to rest there is a good chance I will doze off. I am looking forward to Judah sleeping through the night. I really need more than a four hour block of sleep at the time. I know some of you are thinking that I shouldn't wish those sweet late night moments away but to be honest I'm a zombie during those moments so I'm already missing them. Plus Judah and I get plenty of sweet one on one time. This is my third time around and to be honest that will be the last thing I miss about having a small baby.

And my creepy luring worked, didn't it?? I can't remember you ever turning down a chance to come to my house after school when popcorn was involved!
It's wonderful to read about Bennett's language explosion! Ilove it he has so much empathy for Judah when he's crying.
