SHE HAS ARRIVED AND WE ARE EXHAUSTED.........
http://flickr.com/photos/clarkcox/tags/sylvia/

A week from today she-cox will make her arrival!!!!!!!!!! Clark IV will have his own baby to hug and kiss. Currently he is fasinated with my huge as belly! He is forever poking at the belly button to push it in... covering it up and not. He is funny.

Barbara arrives Wednesday night and my parents Saturday!

Clark III is suppose to take paternity leave... but honestly I don't think he will be able to refrain from work.... not because he is has to work just becuase that is how his brain works and it's his hobby.

I CAN'T WAIT FOR THE NEXT 8.5 WEEKS TO GO BY I JUST WANT TO SLEEP AGAIN! SHE KEEPS ME FROM GETTING COMFY AT NIGHT AND LIKES TO PLAY KICK THE BLADDER WHEN I AM THE MOST RELAXED.

STILL NO IDEA WHAT WE ARE GOING TO NAME HER.

I CAN'T SEE THAT "SHE COX" WILL GO OVER WELL....

It hit 100 degrees yesterday! And it is suppose to be 97 today! Better but not by much!

Well the last two days I have let little man wear him self running around the apartment complex. He absolutely loves it outside. Yesterday we got in the pool it was cold, but he was a trooper and was fine! I got some color unfortunately he is still as white as space ghost ;).

I am sitting here and enjoying a coffee. I am not a frequent coffee drinker.... I am too lazy to make it... and I don't drink enough to warrant making a pot everyday, every other day, or even once a week. I would love to curl in a ball and go to sleep. I tried laying down with my eyes closed but after 45 minutes I know there is no hope.... little man will be waking up any minute.

I am an emotional basket case. However i am finding that I am enjoying Clark more and more. He is slowly evolving into a little person. It is amazing how alittle one and one time impacts the rest of his day.

Mother's day is this weekend and i would love to go home for it. I know clark would love to go home for it.

tomorrow we find out if it is aboy or a girl.... I am thinking boy.... but either way i am will be fine.

I will be coming home June 2-17! It will only be me and little man. Clark will be spending one week of the mini vacation at wwdc. I don't think he will miss us :)

I am really starting to feel these hormones go off of the charts. The only thing is that i am not as bad as most people get. but still.....


clark is working today and will probably continue to do so until wwdc.

What is it with pregnancy and not being able to sleep!? I Just want to sleep a whole night through..... it probably doesn't help that i have to go to bed early because of the migraines......

We applied for our new passports... as soon as baby clark and I get our american ones in the mail we will go to san fran to apply for our german ones. Currently I sent in the paperwork for my official name change with the german gov. So that should take a couple of months.

On a happy note!!! all of our credit cards are paid off!!!!!!! Now we have to save for a hella deposit for a car/minivan/suv. Since our credit is HORRIBLE and clark hasn't had a car loan ever....

my brother and his wife became first time home owners last week. I am kinda jealous... But am kinda glad I don't have to worry about things that break ;) I hear that air conditioning units, appliances, roofs and such are expensive to replace.

Our ultrasound got moved up!!!!!!!!! It is now May 8th. I am starting to have a feeling that is a boy again. Either way it is a baby. And i will be slightly disappointed. I want both at the same time, but I only one want one right now ;) I always wanted to 2 boys and one girl. IF we lived in Louisville 3 wouldn't be that big of a stretch.... but out here in the bay area..... It's a completely different story. It is expensive as hell! Good luck finding a nice bedroom under 500,000.

17 weeks and 5 days.... pregnant... almost at the half way point

CLARK TURNED 1 ON APRIL 10TH, TOOK HIS FIRST STEPS THE NEXT DAY, 2 DAYS LATER WALKED/TODDLED 15 FEET BY HIMSELF, AND BOUGHT HIM HIS FIRST PAIR OF SHOES! SIZE 6!!!!!!

2 DAYS AGO MY MOM TELLS ME SHE TOLD MY DAD TO MOVE OUT AND SHE WANTS A DIVORCE. YESTERDAY MY DAD CALLS TO TELL ME THAT HE IS MOVING IN A COUPLE OF WEEKS. I have seen this coming since i was a small child, I kinda feel sorry for him. However, until he admits he has a problem with alchol and deppression and is willing to fix this problem there is no hope. I am happy for my mom.

Three weeks from today I have the option to find out the sex of the baby. Do I really want to know? Would I rather have the surprise!

For the past two weeks little man has given up eating big boy foods but would rather have a bottle. So he went from 3 bottles a day to 5.... about the same time.... he started waking up in the middle of the night screaming and won't go back down to sleep. this will happen 1-3 times a night... I wonder if these two things are connected. He will be a year old on the 10th.

TGIF... It has been such along week. Monday i had a severe migrane.
tuesday i cleaned.
wednesday my phone died and i had to exchange at apple only for it to die again that evening.
thursday i was phoneless and redecorated, got in a fight with Clark, and he supposedly got my phone working.
today..... well my phone keeps acting up, sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. It just freezes up, and a swirling symbol will appear. other times it won't turn on.

the only highlight of the week has been battle star galactica on the scifi channel.... and then at 10 tonight starts the new season.... I am so anxious i can't wait.

6:25 GET up before big clark take little clark down. Feed him, change him, and make sure he is a happy little boy. Unload the dishwasher and reload all the while fighting little man off of the dirty dishes.
8:00 wake big clark up and pick up last nights dirty cloths of the floor.
8:25 hang up last night's wash, start a new load of laundry, help clark find what ever i have misplaced on him.
9:00 clark leaves
9:30 Little clark becomes a fiesty bastard and down he goes for a nap. Next load of laundry gets hung up.
10:35 Clark wakes up as i am cleaning out the drawers upstairs.
11:30 Get lunch ready for little man, and for myself.
12:00 feed little man key lime yogurt and clean him up
1:00 Little man gets fiesty and goes down for a nap.
1:20 he fianlly succumbs to sleep

and thus is my day so far and i still have to bring in the cloths, fold them, and cook dinner and maybe just maybe vacume.

Clark will be home between 5:30-6:00.
Little Clark will be in bed by 8:15 with a short story and hopefully in asleep by 8:45..

I MEAN I HATE BEING PREGNANT!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have a constant headache that goes between migrane and slight pulsing. Extremely tired and grouchy.... lets not forget always nauseous! You know what i love sausage egg and cheese biscuits, french fries, and diet soda.. yum

If it wasn't for little man needing companionship I wouldn't be pregnant for along time. He loves other babys.... he is always kissing, grabbing and touching them. He is a funny little man.

Little man is about to sprout another tooth. I am getting a new computer today... MAC BooK Pro.... so exciting :)

one of those days.


I feel completely wiped.... threw up this morning after drinking some water.... fell over clark's stroller and broke it. (the wheel thing snapped off duck tape wouldn't be a magical fix) have a bleeding knee and toes to prove it, but i think my pride is a bit more bruised.

My blood sugar levels were a bit too low last appt, so the doctor thinks i will have gestational diabetes again! So she wants me to go on a reduced carb diet/high protien.

Worrying about the rise in rent and a fresh cold sore covering my lip/chin.

the only plus:

I didn't gain any weight this past month, however i am still a fat ass.

it is so beautiful outside. I just would love to run and frolic outside. Alas dear husband has clark's stroller in the trunk of the car. So i must say i am stranded. The windows are open..... I just wish we could be outside right now

why does teething and diarrhea go hand in hand. Seriously, since he has front teeth have been sprouting out of his gums he has had the worst diarrhea. Not only is it diarrhea but it stinks. It stinks to the point where you have to bathe him. let's not forget he is an irritable little bastard also.
I just forced some pain medicine down his little gullet and now he is passed out on the floor.

I still feel guilt every time i see little man's face.
at least he will be able to pick up some chicks with the scars ;)


Little man can high five now:)


Also, we had an ultrasound yesterday, we are due september 26th, and our baby started as a pair but now is one.
So I am sick sick sick!

Big clark is forever working. He is as exhausted as me, poor man.

yup... again! I got off the pill in November thinking it would take a long time for it to happen again. But NOPE! wow which means i am 5 weeks along. i just don't want to go through the first couple months again.
I am hoping for a girl but i have a strange feeling that it will be a boy.

oh so wierd. Even though i am a parent of a robust gigantic 9.5 month old I am scared, nervous, anxious, etc about doing this again... Starting from scratch...

Little man is slowly evolving into a person. To watch these changes occur is mind blowing. At first you don't think of little things they can progressively do as amazing but one day when you aren't really pay attention. They combine all these little milestones into one fluid action and you are amazed. Clark just hit 9 months. Nine whole months. some of those days i would have traded him for my past freedom... and then other days... I can't imagine my life with out him.

My favorite part of the day is when he wakes up and talks to himself/keeps himself entertained. When you go over to check on him he looks at you complete happiness and you know that you are the most important thing in his world.

We have been playing hide and go seek... i will hide behind a wall and make psst psst noises at him and peek around the corner... and he gets so excited and does his fast galloping crawl to get me. I jump over him only to do it again.
