Heather how did your appt go?

Second tri WHAT UP!

Nothing exciting. I want to eat all the apples.

[jennifer8080]

Everyone is great here! Caleb had his 1 month appointment and is up to 9lbs 3oz and 22 inches. I can't believe he's already a month old! He's rolling from belly to back all the time and is awake and alert a good part of the day. He sleeps well at night which I'm thankful for. He hates the car, which makes me very nervous about our first road trip next month.

Kennedy's 18 month appointment was a little late, so I could do them together. She's up to 20lbs 4oz and 30 1/4 inches! Just barely hanging on to the growth chart in weight, but I'll take it! She had a perfect report from e doctor. Her hearing veal is next week and I'm dreading it. It's going to be hard doing it with her and the baby and I since her biggest delay right now is speech I'm worried that she's not going to pass the hearing test. She's getting so close to walking. Just needs to build her confidence and put it all together! The PT thinks it will be any day. I feel like this is such a huge milestone. I cannot wait!

And in other news, H asked me last night when we were trying for #3. I so wish we could stay here long enough to have another baby with the midwives here. I'm reluctant to even think about getting pregnant when I don't know for sure what I would do about a provider in North Carolina. I a tally considered coming back here to have the baby. LOL

Not much for us this week except Cheerios are BOGO at Publix and I officially have a Cheerio eater, and have signed up for an infant CPR class on the 20th.

OK. After talking with my OB, she said she wasn't surprised I was still bleeding based on the size of the tear. Heartbeat was still strong, and she said since the bleeding was brown, and I'm not cramping, she didn't think an ultrasound was necessary, but if it turned redish they would bring me in right away.

I *think* I felt the baby move for the first time last week. I'm not 100% sure, but I think it might have been.

Anatomy scan scheduled for October 5th and hopefully baby W will cooperate and we'll know if we're having a boy or girl.

[sara76]

October 5. Omgggggg. I want to know NOW!!

It is tough to tell but you are lucky! It took me a while to feel anything bc of my dang placenta! Glad your Dr appt went well.

[surfbetty530]

Everything is going well here... 3 more weeks of bed rest!! ::happy dance:: My ticker says I have 47 days left but actually I only have 40. My OB won't let me go past 39 weeks with my GD. Wouldn't that be ironic though if I made it that far after all of this? Lol.

Sara, yay for having a Cheerios eater! Boo for all the Cheerios you are about to smash all over your kitchen floor. hehe

[tashaandsage]

Heather, so glad your appointment went okay. I'm guessing boys for you and Aly now. But then again, I'm almost always wrong whenever I try to predict.

Not a lot going on with my little ones. Maisy is officially obsessed with Mickey Mouse, Fresh Beat Band and shoes. At night, she almost dives out of my arms to get into her crib and lay down so she can snuggle with her stuffed Mickey, and then she goes right to sleep. I wish naps were that easy. She's finally developing a nice long afternoon nap routine but getting her to go down is the hard part. Especially because I'm trying to phase out the middle of the day nursing session and just do morning and night. We just redid Beckett's room this past week, and he loves it! Also, we decided to put him in gymnastics again, which I think will be great for all his energy.

Car seat is installed and I got it inspected this morning. I think I need a new car now since the person sitting in the front pretty much has to sit straight up and with their knees in the glove box. Oh wait, that will be me sitting in the car on the way to deliver Samantha. Fun times ahead.

Custom glider arrived. Love it. I also bought a beautiful painting (not baby art which is good, and it works in the room) and cute frames to make a collage wall (so over rated, I know). The babies room isn't going to be complete until we move though. It's pretty much a mess right now. Oh well, there is a place to change the baby, nurse the baby, a closet full of baby crap, etc. etc.

Besides all this baby stuff, life is absolutely crazy right now. Can I just go into labor so I don't have to deal with all this shit.

I have an Explorer and with both car seats in there, we both sit with our knees in our chest. I want a Tahoe. Oh, and also - I can't believe you're 38 weeks already!!!! How are you feeling?

[dvroxy]

Maddie is 7 weeks old today and I can't even believe it. She is doing really well and I am loving that she is sleeping through the night! She smiles all the time and is definitely a momma's girl. I can tell it upsets my H, but I have explained to him that I am the one who is with her all the time and since I am breastfeeding, I am the only one REALLY feeding her (other than a bottle here and there). But I do love the fact that she always wants to to cuddle with me and loves me to pieces.

MacKenzie walked right into pre-school without crying today. That was a huge accomplishment for her. She is getting to be such a big girl.

[alzi]

moon- i want to come sit in your glider and test it out. i want a good and comfy one!

[mrsjenrn]

Heather, I am glad your appt went well!

We saw tdr yesterday and had another u/s since it was so early last time. Baby is measuring 10w4d, so he/she is catching up a bit. I still say I am due in April, but my dr is keeping the EDD of 3/29/13 for now. It was such a relief to see the baby again! We are still going to wait to announce on FB, although a lot of people know already. It feels real all of a sudden!

Zoe is definitely in a mimic stage right now, lol! She cracks me up! Last night at bedtime H and I were reading her bedtime stories and things got out of control. We started making crazy animal noises for each animal that came up, and we were all laughing hysterically. Guess you had to be there, ha ha! It was really fun though! We have a good time with her.

[melis74]

Heather - I'm so glad that you're appt went well...bummer you didn't get an u/s though. Hopefully, you won't need another one until your anatomy scan! I hope that's the baby you're feeling!

My step-son got married last weekend. We had lots of family in town and Mia just ate it up. She's doing good w/her cereal, but doesn't seem to like peas so much. At her four month appt was weighed 16.4 lbs(90th%) and was 27 3/4"(97th %). She did great with her shots, just one tear and stopped as soon as H picked her up. Looking forward to doing NOTHING this weekend for a change!
