I had a dream the other night that I had the baby, so fast that I didn't have time to call anyone- even Mark, and then as I was leaving the hospital I got in the car and it started rolling backwards down the hill. I stepped on the brake and nothing happened. The car started going faster and faster and I was practically standing on the brake and not making a difference at all. This isn't the first dream in the last month or so where I am driving a car trying to slow it down and nothing I do works- even pulling the emergency brake!
I don't think I need to take this to a professional for interpretation. Everything is going too fast! I think despite the weird spring and cool summer (well, I guess just not blistering) FALL is in the air. And all I know is that I am not excited for winter- Ugh. 20 weeks marks the halfway point of this pregnancy. The HALFWAY point! Have I done one thing to prepare for this baby? No. She is still most often, affectionately, called "this baby!" I am trying to soak up all the alone time I have now, and enjoy my little shadow as much as possible with the limited one-on-one time we have left. And to mention the little shadow- she is no longer my baby! Blueberry is not just walking- she is running everywhere she goes, making her opinion known all the time, and talking from the second her eyes open to well past the time they close. (Yes, I have heard her talking in her sleep before). I think she is learning a couple words every day at this point. She is using words I don't remember ever teaching her or even using around her. I just want to press the pause button! Or at least the slow motion button?
This is just really all a result of feeling so overwhelmingly blessed I want to soak in every minute before a thing changes. I have a healthy, beautiful and fun little girl. According to all indications, another healthy, beautiful and fun little girl on the way. I have been feeling amazingly well, so well that I often forget I am pregnant. And, my loving husband is the most amazing partner anyone could ever ask for. Granted I am exhausted by about 7pm, but it is the satisfied, cup-overfloweth kind of tired. If only I could still feel this way in about 5 months!

Company party pics
Mark's company party was today at This is the Place park. It was a lot of fun and a gorgeous day to be outside enjoying the breeze and possibly the end of the good summer weather.
One of Blue's favorite things was the pony ride. Mark had to force her to get on amid a chorus of No, no no's, but then she didn't want to get off and asked for more!
She also loved the lambies (as she calls them)
She started picking off all the sticks and wood chips that were stuck to their wool! What a sweet girl!
She has a fascination with airplanes. If we are outside and she hears a plane she stops whatever we are doing to look for it and then either points or puts up her hands and says "ano" translation being "I don't know where it is?"
Man I love this little girl so much!!! I know everyone says I will love the next one just as much but different...
I just don't honestly see how that is possible.

Blueberry photo catch-up
Just downloaded some pics from the camera, so I figured I would do another photo post of Blue since that is all anyone really wants to see anyway!
She only wears headbands when she is pulling them all out of the basket and putting them all on at once-- around her neck!
Enjoying a summer rain
Daddy throwing her in the air
Best rainbow I think I have ever seen (double one at that!)
This is what I get when I tell her to smile now- CHEESE!
See any resemblance?
Still loving the forts!
This is the best thing I have come up with for keeping her happy and not underfoot when I am trying to do stuff in the kitchen. Especially because one of her favorite things is to "hep" (help) me
For a special treat: a 2-stool fort! Notice the babies inside too...
2 buck Tuesday at Thanksgiving Point!
Enjoying a different day at Thanksgiving Point- this is the cheese of all cheese (thanks Jenn for capturing this!!!) I know she has been called 'solid' and other generously nice things by family and friends, but a handful of other words come to my mind when I see this picture with her little shorts hiked up around those ample thighs and that amazing double chin coming out for a show! (You may have to click on the pic to enlarge and get the full effect!) What a cutie!
A favorite place in South Jordan- I get to visit Material Girls Quilt store and then she gets to play in the water if she behaves while I shop!
Cheesing while "heping" in the kitchen. She even pulls over the chair and climbs up all by herself now!
Just cheesing in general...
When did she figure out how to undress herself? Great! Now there will be no stopping her from running around "necky" (naked!)
Just chillin and reading her favorite book- Fancy Nancy aka "Nany"- Thanks Grandma Sugar! You have the best taste in children's books!
Possible Halloween costume??? As long as she doesn't grow any taller- the largest this one goes is 24 mo. and her legs are pushing the limit of those tights right now!

Mom sayings
I don't know about you and your mom, but when I was growing up there were a few sayings that my mom had that we heard over and over. I guess I have already started:
This morning Blue woke up unusually early (after going to bed an hour later than normal to boot!). I think the third or fourth word out of her mouth was hungry, so that might answer the early hour. Anyway, while I was feeding her and eating myself she was whiny so I told her my typical, "Whiny babies take more naps." Her mood did not improve after breakfast either and later I asked her why she was whining and she replied, "Nap." I told her that was a good idea and laid her in her crib! She chilled in there for about 10 minutes and then wanted out. I took her out, and her mood has improved! If she is already catching on, maybe I should develop more motivational phrases for our family...
9:30am edit: Her mood apparently was not improved. I was forced to follow through for real on my whiny babies take more naps threat and put her down again. Needless to say she was not very happy about this. She cried and threw a tantrum and stubbornly decided not to lay down for her nap. Her body finally gave in though despite her stubborn will to remain sitting...

It's a GIRL!
Yep, another girl at the Pidcock house! I hope Mark can handle it... Heck, I grew up with brothers- I hope I can handle it!

Still at it
I think she likes watching herself more than actually dancing! Love that little nod at the end- "Yep, that's exactly what I want to do."
