Double Trouble

We are so excited to announce that #2 is a boy... Tyler Constantine Head is due in July. I am beside myself excited that its a boy- theres nothing in this world i wanted more than to raise boys. :) God is good.

When I first made my appointment Ethan was barely on the move, and so i thought bryan could watch him with no issue during the sonogram. However, he is now wanting to MOVE, and made it 10 seconds into the appointment. Poor Bryan spent an hour out in the lobby playing. So i found out it was a boy alone and called bryan to tell him out in the libby. Then to save time i sent a mass text to everyone! :)
Cant wait to meet Tyler, but in the meantime, I am soaking up every second I can with this sweet face! He will always be my baby...

Big Boy- Clingy Boy


I keep hearing that this is just a phase- but HOLY GEEZ! I was priding myself that I had a son who would go to anyone. He was always happy to go into the nursery at church, see babysitters and play at Mothers Day Out. But I swear overnight he has become clingy- no CLINGY! He screams bloody murder and can not be consoled. I simply don't know what to do with this seperation anxiety. I am trying to not give it much attention and leave quickly but its tough. Honestly I know he will be fine- I feel worse for the workers who have to be with him. The sweet girl that babysit last weekend had to text me every 20 minutes because nothing worked.



On a happier note, Ethan has LOVED moving into his new room. The old nursery looks sad and has become a catch all for the "things that we will deal with before the baby comes!"... that pile keeps adding up for sure!

Mom, dad, Jeff and Lauren came over to help move all the furniture, organize and put the curtains up. I LOVE IT. Its sweet and so much more room for him to play in. This room has been Jake's since we moved into the house, and Jake hasn't left. So we call it Jake and Ethan's room... which neither minds.

Right now I am working on continuing to adjust to stay at home mommy-hood. It's been tougher than I thought. Honestly I thought it would be so easy and fun. With my responsibilities left at church I honestly have A LOT Of spare time to just be with Ethan. And with only 1 nap in the morning we are home chilling A LOT! I don't know if I am simply not use to it, or if this isn't where God wants me right now. But I am certainly learning how to find my value and selfworth in something other than my career. God is teaching me that my self worth needs to come FROM HIM and not necessarily what I do FOR HIM. Seems I have likely try to teach someone else this lesson- but never got it for myself.

Suddenly



I don't know what happened, but suddenly Ethan turned 10 months and decided he would be a new little guy. He has learned how to clap, wave, grown several more teeth, and is standing all by himself. He has yet to be brave enough to walk, but loves to just stand up in the middle of the room. Suddenly he has gone from a baby to big boy.



There have been many changes around this house. Ethan has moved to a big boy room as we prepare for #2. Its filled with new toys and loads of room to play. I am now working from home full time, as church has cut back my hours. As Ethan is not going to MDO anymore and is home with me anymore we are both going through a time to crate a schedule. Right now its chaos. =) Bryan has moved back to working nights. So he is home a lot more during the day too- which is so fun for Ethan to have daddy to play with till afternoon nap. With all the changes little man is not taking his naps well and each night at 2am he suddenly is ready to play. God has a plan in all this, and I am excited to see what it is. Right now its rough around this house- but it always rains before the sun comes out!
