We had fun at the Children's Museum this morning. We got there shortly after they open and that is the best time to go. It was gettting crazy by the time we left at 10:30. We haven't been there in a long time. Like since before Jack could walk! So it was so much fun for him this time. Now that we have a membership....we need to get there more often. Hopefully when we have a 2nd car again. The Sesame Street exhibit could have been a lot cooler. Jack was being Mr. Cautious in the little little kid area. He was so funny. He just learned how to go down steps the other day and Jared helped him up a ramp and then he needed to go down steps to come down. It was funny because he saw the steps and got down and started backing up like 5 feet before he even got to the steps. There were kids a lot younger than him that just plowed down ramps and over steps and what not and he was very slow and cautious. It was cute. Then there was this one area where you go up steps, across a drawbridge and then down a slide. He wouldn't walk across the drawbridge. He backwards crawled across it part way and then spun around and crawled forward. Then he put his feet down on the slide so he went super slow. Jared got videos of that.

After the Children's Museum we met Jared's mom and stepdad for lunch as today's Carole's birthday. Lunch was nice and Jack was happy to see Grandma and Grandpa. Jack thinks all older men are his Papa :P It's kind of funny. He referred to a few other guys at the restaurant as Papa or Papa Great (that's what he calls my Papa). Jack got about a 20 minute nap on the way there and then another 15 minute nap on the way home. I was able to get him to sleep again even once we got home! He napped for about another 45 minutes and would have napped longer but I woke him up so he wouldn't be up too late tonight. Lizzie and Charlotte were here this afternoon and will be here again tomorrow. We may walk up to Cup N Cone tomorrow cuz it's already open!! Brooke will be here for a bit in the morning tomorrow too.
I'm 25 weeks today. I'm definitely feeling like I have less energy than I did a few weeks ago. My hips and knees hurt no matter how many pillows I sleep with. Especially after last night. I ended up sleeping with Jack for the better part of the night. I'm not sure why he was having such a rough night. He went to bed easily......we read a couple books and that was it but then he woke up a number of times so I ended up just staying in there with him. He pretty much wanted to hold hands all night :/
I've been really tired and stressed and emotional this week. I hope it passes quickly. I don't like feeling like this and I certainly don't want to for the rest of this pregnancy. It's hard to keep a handle on my patience this week.
