Jacey on the go, he never stops moving!

I've gotten really bored of looking at the same post I've had on my blog forever, but I don't feel like there is anything new to write about. I'm still pregnant. It's too long until my due date (April 4), and even then it's not guaranteed that I'll have her that day. I'm in pain all the time and really ready for it to end. I've had a few evenings now with some more intense contractions, nothing too painful, but they always go away and leave me wanting more. It's sad that it can get to the point when we wish for the pain, it gets that bad being pregnant! :) But enough complaining, I really am excited to have this little girl and can't wait to start dressing her up!! Preparing for her has been so much fun! I also can't wait to see how Jacey reacts to her. I hope he doesn't resent her. I think he's too little for that though. As long as I still give him attention, love and time, I'm sure it'll be fine! He loves kissing and snuggling everything and anything and I know it'll be the same with this little girl and I can't wait for pictures and footage of it! :)

Jacey has been coming up with some new vocabulary lately that is just so much fun. He doesn't perform though and some of the things that people have told me he's said, I haven't actually heard myself, because he doesn't repeat on demand. But some of the words that he's said are: apple (my personal favorite), star, draw, Jesus, yuck, Dad, Mom, Jean-Jacques, Nana, Santa, wow, ouch, oh no, uh oh, no, yes, ball, football, hut (the word you use in football, I don't know how you'd spell it), hot, what's that, yum, num-num (that means anything he can eat, in fact, just as I was typing this, I heard him say "num-num" and looked over to see him sitting at our entrance holding up a little rock, so I was able to prevent him from eating it...those words come in very handy) and last but not least, one, two, three. Except that "one" is actually said in French (un), and two and three are english. We didn't teach it to him in French, it's just a fluke that he pronounces it that way. :) I guess it's in him to be bilingual. And almost always, whatever he's holding he will throw on the count of three. It's usually a ball, but if we need him to let go of something, we just count to three. He's so much fun and he's growing so fast!! I know he understands so much of what we say to him. Now I can't wait till he can respond to us!

This past Easter weekend, both my family and Jeffrey's were out of town, so we had a very lonesome Easter Egg hunt for Jacey and he wasn't interested in it at all. I wanted him to have one with his cousins so he could at least feel the excitement of it. But he stopped caring after the first few candies and left the rest for Jeffrey to collect. Which Jeffrey enjoyed. :) Next year it will probably mean more to him. Meanwhile, I'm enjoying eating the chocolate that I won't be able to have in a few short weeks! Well, that's it for now. Hopefully, my next post will be all about my new baby girl!!
