Hes such a big boy! I took him to the doc last Friday and he is 37 pounds and 40 1/4 inches tall. He passed his vision test, but failed his hearing. I will need to follow-up with the ENT and audiologist. He is also anemic....he doesn't eat red meat, so I made sure his new vitamin includes iron. Hopefully that helps with his low iron levels. He is so excited for his party this Saturday too!!!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Beef needed a hair cut, and I had been putting it off because he is our baby. His hair is all over the place. I knew once I cut it, he would loose that baby look. He looks so cute though!!! He's gone from Beef to Mr. Beef :)</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Lots of things happening in the James household! Ethan is fully walking now! Hes also doing some talking as well! He can say momma, daddy, bye; he waves bye, signs "all done", and "milk". Hes been a little late on talking, but I attribute that to the constant ear infections hes had. Now, we seem to be in the clear though!!!! We just had his 15mo appt. Hes 28lbs, and 30.5 inches long. He's really living up to his nickname, the BEEF.</span></div>

Oh my gosh where did the time go?????? I know I haven't posted in a while; I've been posting on facebook....its just so much easier.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Ethan has been doing great! Hes crawling all over the place now, and he has 3 teeth! We call him "Snaggletooth" :) He really is a good baby, he sleeps all throughout the night for mommy and daddy. David and I could eat his face he is so stinkin cute! The teachers at daycare love him as well! Ethan enjoys watching Caleb do all the silly things he does. No stats yet, but I would say hes at least 25 pounds! No lie!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Caleb is doing great as well! He ADORES being a big brother. The first thing he does when we wakes up is ask for Ethan...if hes awake, he runs to him. I hope the brotherly love stays, its so sweet.</span><br />

Life with 2 kids is crazy busy! I swear I dont know what I did with all my spare time before I had kids....its a distant memory. My spare time is spent SLEEPING! :) It can be stressful, but I do love it.<br />
<br />
Ethan will be 6 months old this month! OMG where has the time gone! Hes a chunky monkey for sure! I dont doubt he weighs over 20 lbs. Hes in 9-12mo clothing already. We call him our Michelin Man and Mr. Needy. He is VERY needy...always wants the attention. See the pics below how cute he looks. Ethan is working on a tooth, working on sitting up by himself, talks a lot, laughs, and is on baby food. Hes growing up so fast. <br />
<br />
Caleb is doing great as well. He is in Preschool 1 at school and he doing awesome. The class is now more structured as it will be when he starts kindergarten. He is so smart too! I wish I could record the things that come out of his mouth! <br />
He is such an awesome big brother! He loves to give Ethan hugs and kisses, and he will do WHATEVER it takes to get a laugh out of him. I try so hard sometimes to get him to laugh, but Caleb comes along and act like superman and the laughter just starts. Ethan looks at him with such love and amazement. Its beautiful to watch.<br />

Where has the time gone?! It has been CRAZY, but everyone is good. Ethan is 3 months and is giving us smiles everyday. <br />
Caleb went to a new daycare this month, but we decided to put him back at the original one. It was just not for him. Hes so happy to be back at the Goddard School with his friends. Watching him on camera at the new school was literally breaking my heart.<br />
Im back at work now and Im picking things back up easier than I thought. BUT I came back to 2 people no longer being here and another 2 people on vacation. AHHHHHHH!<br />
<br />
So we are still here alive and hanging in there!

<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Wow...where do I begin. I know its been a while since I've posted, but life with 2 kids is just plain CRAZY!</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Ethan arrived as planned on 4/19 at 1:02pm at 7lb 5oz. and 20 in long. I didn't have the start I expected though. I woke up at 4am Thursday morning with a horrible headache. I took my blood pressure and it was 146/95. After resting for a while it didn't change. I called the nurse and she said to go ahead and come in....I wasn't scheduled to come in til 10:30am. I was supposed to have breakfast...lol So we start getting ready to go...we took our time because we knew what we were in for. After Ethan was born everything went pretty smooth. Of course that 1st night I could not sleep for anything...again with the nerves! It didn't help that David was sick fighting a cold and snoring! Oh did I mention the week before Ethan was born, Caleb had strep AGAIN! </span></div>

<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;">But anyway, back on track. I didn't have a great night nurse like I did
the 1st time, but we got through it. All in all the hospital stay wasn't that bad. We arrived home Sat. night. Caleb was sick with a stomach bug ...started on Friday. So Sunday through Thursday it was all 4 of us...not what I had planned! I went through postpartum a bit more this time around, so that didn't help. David was so great. He took care of the 3 of us!! He changed ALL of Caleb's diapers while he was sick...I know that must have been fun ;-) </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;">While in the hospital I got the Tdap shot, well the side effects are true. You feel very run down, your stomach gets upset, frequent bathroom stops, chills, and fever. No fun having this while recovering from having a baby. David got the shot as well a few days later. We both though we came down with something, not until a few days later did we realize it was a reaction to the Tdap shot!</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So after we all get better, we finally start settling in. Caleb has been great with Ethan! Hes really good at putting the pacifier back in his mouth :) We are trying to keep him involved as much as possible. He loves to help.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">As for today, we are all settled in. Ethan is working on a routine. Hes at 4oz every 3 hours. We go to the doc tom for his 4 week checkup. Its already been a month!

We only have a week left!!!!! Took us a bit longer to do the 2nd time around as we are always busy with Caleb...lol We went with a monkey theme. I got some really nice chocolate colored black-out curtains for his room since Ethan's window faces west. My dad also made a toy chest for Ethan, but I dont have a good picture of it yet :( If you know my dad, you know its good! Just go look at Caleb's blanket chest and our breakfast table.</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;">David's parents got us the crib, which is gorgeous!

I've been uncomfortable for a few weeks now....especially at night. Mr. Ethan has been getting the hiccups the past week. At least once a day now he gets them. I assume hes working on his breathing :) Caleb had the hiccups a lot as well, so it doesn't surprise me that Ethan has them as well. I'm definitely more round now than I was at this point with Caleb.</span></div><div><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:130%;"></span> </div><div><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:130%;">This past weekend was VERY busy. We had a garage sale, <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error">crawfish</span> boil, we put Ethan's crib together, and I moved the spare room items out of Ethan's room if they didn't belong. I paid for it Sunday night and Monday. I was so sore....my feet, back and belly hurt. But I feel much better about where Ethan's room is right now. We still need to go in the attic to get all the baby clothes down so I can wash them. David, that was a hint if you didn't get it! </span></div><div><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:130%;"></span> </div><div><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:130%;">I've only got 3 weeks left of work. I've decided to take the 3 days before my C-section as vacation. I could use the rest. I go to the doc tom and I think she does a check on me to see if I've made any progress. I doubt it....</span></div><div><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:130%;"></span> </div><div><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:130%;">Ethan at 36 weeks</span></div><div><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:130%;"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; width: 400px; height: 283px; text-align: center; display: block; cursor: pointer;" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5724666833559925970" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-omUu4IW9hWE/T3IaJ4_MtNI/AAAAAAAAA2w/ydCwl7lxaCo/s400/36%2Bweeks%2Bethan%2BB.jpg" /></span></div><div><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:130%;"> Caleb at 35 weeks</span></div><div><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:130%;"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; width: 400px; height: 300px; text-align: center; display: block; cursor: pointer;" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5724665936213387186" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-lhxTNEnF4kE/T3IZVqHHJ7I/AAAAAAAAA2Y/T61_JILNe6I/s400/35%2Bweeks%2Bcaleb" /></span></div></div></div>Christinahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04999714218700984140noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6380245927994112884.post-91005114263581744252012-03-08T16:53:00.002-06:002012-03-08T16:59:32.807-06:0033 weeks<span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;">Ugh....Im tired. Im 33 weeks now. I know I will get more uncomfortable, but I think Im just plain tired. Its hard to bend over, I need to have a pillow on my back when I sit down, my feet swell when I wear heels to work, and I feel like there aren't enough hours in the day. As soon as I stop moving and sit down when I get home I start to fall asleep. I just feel blah....</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;">Anyways, this wasnt supposed to be a rant, just a picture post.

He is such a stinker!!! So many things he does now just makes David and I laugh and frustrated at the same time. He talks constantly! Hes picking up on so many things too, and his memory is getting much better. I no longer can say one thing today and not follow through tomorrow. He reminds me!!! Hes starting to talk back a bit, but we are nipping that in the bud NOW! I swear he gets that from me, right mom?He loves to bury himself in pillows and covers to play (the child cannot keep a blanket on him at night to save his life). David said he loved doing this as a child. </span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:130%;">I think we've finally weaned him off the Christmas shows too. He was loving the "Elephant Rock" aka Ice Age Christmas, and the Polar Express. David and Caleb also have a new game they play. Who can get to Daddy's phone 1st and who can get to the remote? David is really starting to have to get creative on keeping these items away from his grasp. </span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:130%;">Caleb is also scheduled to have his tubes removed and new ones put in this Friday. Hes also getting his Adenoids removed. He got his 1st set of tubes last June, its been a year and a half...they should have fallen out. His ears are so waxy that they havent. He is also always congested, the ENT recommended his adenoids be removed...this would help the wax in his ears to be able to drain and his noisy sleep would stop. Even when hes not sick, he will sleep with his mouth open and a slight snore can be heard.</span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:130%;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:130%;">BABY #2. We have a name (whether we like it or not)...ETHAN. We've already started using it when we talk to Caleb about the baby. Caleb is already using it in school according to his teachers. His teachers informed us that we went to Target the other day to look at "car seats for baby Ethan". We actually did do that, but now hes telling people, so I guess we are going with Ethan..lol We are still discussing a middle name. <br />Ethan has been moving a lot, hes starting to get in his cycles of when he moves. Im also still not up to my pre-pregnancy weight!!!! YAY! I lost about 10 pounds from 7 weeks to 12ish, but my 7th week weigh in was over 10 pounds more than what I started with when I found out I was pregnant with Caleb. Im so happy Im not there yet; I know I will get there and probably pass it, but Im really trying to keep my weight gain in check as I know its just gets harder and harder to loose. Ethan's heartbeat was measuring on track at about 140's. Caleb was always in the 160's, so maybe this means a calmer baby....I can only hope! HAHA </span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:130%;">I also have a scheduled C-Section date!!!!! April 19th is the day unless Ethan decides to come before! Thats 3 MONTHS AWAY! There is so much still to do!!! AHHHHHHHH. Can you see me running around pulling my hair out!</span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:130%;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:130%;">Other than that, life is great! David and I are very blessed!</span>Christinahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04999714218700984140noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6380245927994112884.post-30095920929184459182011-12-27T12:16:00.002-06:002011-12-27T12:27:38.892-06:00Baby #2 Gender and Christmas<span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:130%;">David and I found out the baby's sex on 12/7, but we decided to keep it a secret from everyone until Christmas. We bought Caleb a shirt that said "I didn't do it, my little brother did it". It was his gift to open on Christmas in front of everyone. David and I are super excited to be having another boy.

Caleb got a tricycle and mainly mickey mouse items from mommy and daddy. He got a train set from my parents, and he got some play dough, a Hot wheels racetrack, and trucks at David's parents house. Here are some pics from opening gifts Christmas morning. He went through the presents like they were just "things". He would open one, look at it, and move onto the next. He never did get excited about anything, but he carries his Mickey Mouse clothes around, and he loves his train that my parent gave him.<br /><br /></span><br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-bwr4xS72u1M/TvoLwLXasuI/AAAAAAAAAzk/L-17j2edbQk/s1600/christmas%2Bmickey%2BPJs.jpg"><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:130%;"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5690874001448678114" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-bwr4xS72u1M/TvoLwLXasuI/AAAAAAAAAzk/L-17j2edbQk/s400/christmas%2Bmickey%2BPJs.jpg" /></span></a><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:130%;"> Mickey Mouse book<br /></span><br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-fCQFLsbpnhk/TvoLv2l3WCI/AAAAAAAAAzU/3X-Yq8LxOJw/s1600/christmas%2Bmickey%2Bbook.jpg"><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:130%;"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5690873995872131106" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-fCQFLsbpnhk/TvoLv2l3WCI/AAAAAAAAAzU/3X-Yq8LxOJw/s400/christmas%2Bmickey%2Bbook.jpg" /></span></a><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:130%;"> A glimmer of a smile<br /></span><br /><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-l2_prUjpHZ0/TvoLvjiHIEI/AAAAAAAAAzM/mAZAxmIyJfM/s1600/christmas%2Bmickey.jpg"><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:130%;"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5690873990756114498" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-l2_prUjpHZ0/TvoLvjiHIEI/AAAAAAAAAzM/mAZAxmIyJfM/s400/christmas%2Bmickey.jpg" /></span></a><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:130%;"> </span><br /><div><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:130%;">Yes mom.....</span><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-h_H7ztLmYmk/TvoLvkqDLbI/AAAAAAAAAzA/JPc9a6Il5Sw/s1600/christmas%2Bcaleb%2Bstaring.jpg"><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:130%;"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5690873991057845682" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-h_H7ztLmYmk/TvoLvkqDLbI/AAAAAAAAAzA/JPc9a6Il5Sw/s400/christmas%2Bcaleb%2Bstaring.jpg" /></span></a><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:130%;"> </span></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>Christinahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04999714218700984140noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6380245927994112884.post-1238380937568159442011-12-22T11:44:00.003-06:002011-12-22T15:04:01.276-06:00A Sick Caleb Makes for No Fun!<div><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:130%;">So last week (Monday), Caleb started running a fever. He had been coughing earlier that weekend, had a runny nose and such, but I chalked it up to a cold. I took him to the doc and we found out he has strep. We got some antibiotics and told we should be good to go to school on Wed. Well Wed., we still weren't better...he was still running fever. We decided it must be something viral and it just needed to run its course.<br /><br />Well Thursday night it got MUCH worse. While David and I were at his Holiday Party, Caleb started running a fever in the 104 range. I assumed it HAD to be the flu. Thats the only time he gets fever of 104. Caleb was at David's parents house....thankfully they were able to break the fever and we went to the doc again on Friday. Caleb tested positive for RSV!!!! GRRRR!<br /><br />So off we go home with more prescriptions. When I go to pick it up, I found out that the solution for the nebulizer is not covered by insurance!!! The doc had prescribed 96 vials at $640!!!!!! I looked at the pharmacist and said "can you do a payroll deduct?" HAHA. I only got 24 vials at $100 (I had a "savings card" from the doc that saved $50...savings card my butt). The nebulizer machine wasnt covered either...that was $47. I was ok with that...we might need it again....I dont want to rent it either.<br /><br />So last week we spent over $400 in doctor visits and medicine! This week Caleb is MUCH better, he is back to his normal stinker self. Im very happy that he will be healthy for Christmas too!!!<br /><br />Keep checking back to find out if we are having a girl or a boy...its a Christmas surprise!!!!<img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5689061296656681074" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-T1WSWzfVVqQ/TvObG3ylCHI/AAAAAAAAAy0/ne6thEzT0Og/s400/breathing%2Btreatment.JPG" /></span></div>Christinahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04999714218700984140noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6380245927994112884.post-46083651820590550742011-12-08T08:23:00.003-06:002011-12-08T08:36:56.206-06:00Half-Way with Baby #2!<span style="font-family:verdana;">Its so true what they say. Baby #2 isnt getting much attention. Im half-way through the pregnancy and this is my 1st belly picture. David and I havent discussed names, looked at bedding or furniture. I know there is still plenty of time, but with Caleb thats all we talked about was him.</span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">Ive been feeling fine. Just like with Caleb...no real complaints. Ive been feeling the baby move for a while now. David got to feel the baby this past weekend. I have to be lying flat on my back, and it your patient enough you can feel the baby. Ive been sleeping with a pillow for a while now as well. If not, my back really hurts in the morning. </span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">Sorry about the picture...its from my camera phone. I can tell Im slightly bigger the 2nd time around, which I expected.

Caleb was a pirate! ARG! He didnt mind wearing the outfit I got for him and he would occasionally play with his sword. We had a small block party at our house and everyone had a GREAT time! It was so nice to just hang out with our neighbors and let our kids run around. Our neighbors kids are awesome too! Even the older ones look after Caleb as if he were their own. So sweet. We all agreed our next mini block party will have to be on a weekend so none of us have to get up early to go to work or school!</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;">Caleb's school also had a Halloween party earlier that day. I think he ate a bit too much candy, because the REALLY BAD diapers started coming, and now he has a rash :( He was having so much fun last night he neglected to tell us he was sitting in a "mess". His tooshi was so raw! This morning its MUCH better! Gotta love triple paste!!! Hes also got this bad dry cough. It started Sunday and I tried to catch it early, gave yogurt, vitamins, Sambucoil (immunity booster), inhaler (cough started sounding barky), and honey cough syrup. Last night I gave him some cough medicine to help him sleep and put the vaporizer on in his room. He still coughed the whole night. We are sending him to school today with crossed fingers that they dont call us to pick him up. Mommy and Daddy are very busy at work today! </span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;">Anyway...I got off the trick-or-treating post. You all know how Caleb will pose for photos! So here are some of the shots we got last night from trick-or-treating. It took him a bit to get the hang of it, but once he saw the other kids getting candy, he didnt have too many issues going to the door.</span><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-h0qTvwSGYZ4/Tq_p6I2BncI/AAAAAAAAAxQ/xTbuG5SCJLA/s1600/TOTpirate.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5670007640898510274" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-h0qTvwSGYZ4/Tq_p6I2BncI/AAAAAAAAAxQ/xTbuG5SCJLA/s400/TOTpirate.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-xDfVbeiFI1g/Tq_p5buBmJI/AAAAAAAAAxI/uKQ_b_aSZco/s1600/TOT3.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5670007628785358994" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-xDfVbeiFI1g/Tq_p5buBmJI/AAAAAAAAAxI/uKQ_b_aSZco/s400/TOT3.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-qSNn0M5fJ1E/Tq_p4wpMB7I/AAAAAAAAAw4/jOhy1c7r1Xs/s1600/TOT2.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5670007617222346674" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-qSNn0M5fJ1E/Tq_p4wpMB7I/AAAAAAAAAw4/jOhy1c7r1Xs/s400/TOT2.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-umMhMFr_k-I/Tq_p4cCJoSI/AAAAAAAAAws/Kn4HFnQQV1g/s1600/TOT.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5670007611689902370" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-umMhMFr_k-I/Tq_p4cCJoSI/AAAAAAAAAws/Kn4HFnQQV1g/s400/TOT.JPG" /></a> <br /><div></div></div></div></div>Christinahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04999714218700984140noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6380245927994112884.post-84887970487015351942011-10-18T10:10:00.003-05:002011-10-18T10:31:34.645-05:0012 week & Caleb update<span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:130%;">I forgot to post this with my ultrasound pics...blame it either on the preggo brain or mommy brain I have! </span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:130%;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:130%;">So far this pregnancy hasn't been much different than with Caleb. No morning sickness. I will occasionally get "evening sickness", but it isn't a nauseous feeling....more of I only feel like eating a bowl of cereal for dinner. Very manageable. I've been a bit more tired than usual, but I just try to go to bed earlier.</span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:130%;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:130%;">One thing different this time around is the occasional incision pain (from the C-section). I really have to watch how often I pick up Caleb.....he's 30 pounds! Its causing stress on the internal scar. We are working on getting him in and out of the car seat without me picking him up. We will be converting his bed to a toddler bed very soon, hopefully that goes well.</span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:130%;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:130%;">Ive already started showing. I cant wear any of my normal clothes without a bella band. I'm much more comfy in my "in between pregnancy pants". These are the pants that don't have that full belly elastic, but they have a stretch waistband.</span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:130%;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:130%;">Caleb is doing great. Potty training is off and on. When he tells me, we try to use the potty. Not really pushing it just yet. He now goes to sleep with the following items: a pillow, a blanket, puppy, small bear, big bear, puppy pillow (pillow pet from my mom), and sometimes a book. Im surprised he can find his pacifier in the middle of the night! </span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:130%;">Hes talking so much...he is a sponge with everything. While David and I were eating dinner he told us in his words: "Bye, go to grocy stor. Bye, gettin d mail. Need keys mama, unlock door (as hes putting daddy's shoes on)."</span><span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:130%;">Our favorite conversation is about what daddy does at work: </span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:130%;">Caleb: bye, goin work (putting David's tennis shoes on)</span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:130%;">Us: Caleb, what do you do for work?</span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:130%;">Caleb: Like daddy</span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:130%;">Us: Yes, what do you do for work?</span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:130%;">Caleb: cut gass</span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:130%;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:130%;">His imagination is really taking off. We went to Fry's (electronic store) this past weekend. David and i were looking at phone holsters. Caleb finds one and walks around the store with it on his hip, saying "goin work like daddy".</span>Christinahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04999714218700984140noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6380245927994112884.post-72684437396612067332011-10-14T10:56:00.001-05:002011-10-14T10:59:32.490-05:0012 UltrasoundDavid and I got our 12 week ultrasound done today.

Friday we took off to take Caleb to the zoo. Caleb had a BLAST, even though we was fighting a cough, runny nose, and slight fever. The zoo made his day!</span><br /><span style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:130%;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:130%;"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 299px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5654850000940261778" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-45uXjq0Q9WI/TnoQHXwpYZI/AAAAAAAAAu4/_ToNZk9u7jQ/s400/ZOO.jpg" /></span><br /><br /><div><br /><div><br /><div><br /><div><br /><div><span style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:130%;">Caleb did NOT want to get off the Wildlife Carousel. I know hes not smiling in this picture, but he was smiling from ear to ear while the ride was going.</span></div><br /><div><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:130%;"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 299px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5654850000376871202" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-eODxcQXQ7RE/TnoQHVqUuSI/AAAAAAAAAuw/w6fOn7x366o/s400/zoo2.jpg" /></span></div><br /><div><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:130%;">Monday we went to the Katy Mills Mall. While there caleb saw the train that goes around the inside of the mall. He saw the kids getting off and on and would not let us leave without riding the "co co rain". His smile and happiness more than made up for the cost to ride.</span></div><br /><div><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:130%;"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 299px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5654849997020674546" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-1AMZFLHSiRA/TnoQHJKJOfI/AAAAAAAAAuo/TOo9uNTe_kw/s400/train.jpg" /></span></div><br /><div><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:130%;"></span></div><br /><div><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:130%;"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 299px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5654849996100412434" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-6aQH8dWZ1eo/TnoQHFuvJBI/AAAAAAAAAug/uzAmxeYIr0w/s400/train2.jpg" /></span></div><br /><div><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:130%;">Caleb is obsessed with the "eye shirt". Its just a whale shirt with a plastic eye on it. David's mom got this shirt for him a month or so ago. Everyday he requests the "eye shirt". Yesterday the daycare got the wrath of Caleb when they changed his shirt (it was soaking wet from his drool). He was NOT happy and would not stop crying. Luckily I came in shortly after "the incident". He begged to put it back on....so I just put it over his current shirt. Guess Im gonna have to go buy one in every size! </span></div><br /><div><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:130%;"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 299px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5654849989369583554" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-vqenmuoJc1w/TnoQGsp-18I/AAAAAAAAAuY/VdtlwG-cZlM/s400/eye%2Bshirt.jpg" /></span></div></div></div></div></div><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:130%;">His new thing now is to carry around the white polar bear you see in the pic above. The bear, puppy, blanket, pillow, and sometimes a ball all must be in the bed to fall asleep.</span>Christinahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04999714218700984140noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6380245927994112884.post-26721008599372796902011-09-01T08:47:00.004-05:002011-09-02T10:39:44.200-05:00OUCH!!!<div><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;">Caleb fell at school yesterday. I still dont understand how he managed to hit the area between his lip and nose. I think his pride was hurt more than anything. He wont let ANYONE touch him with medicine. </span><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-H68tWHyrTlI/Tl-NAk1upJI/AAAAAAAAAuI/IMCpFHNK4gI/s1600/busted%2Bface.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 267px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5647387498774439058" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-H68tWHyrTlI/Tl-NAk1upJI/AAAAAAAAAuI/IMCpFHNK4gI/s400/busted%2Bface.jpg" /></a><span style="font-family:arial;"> <span style="font-size:130%;">This morning it looks a little better. His forehead and chin are back to normal, but his nose and upper lip are RED. Im sure there will be more injuries in his future....right David??? Remember when you somehow managed to go through the window of your house and wound up with a busted knee??? hehehe</span></span></div>

He is definitely in his terrible two's though! Caleb has been growing into a combination of cuteness and evilness. Hes talking CONSTANTLY now, which we love (most of the time). When he doesn't get his way, you know it for sure! Most of you know what I'm talking about....throwing himself on the ground, and just throwing an all out FIT! Sometimes David and I will laugh at him while hes doing it, which makes it a bit worse...lol </span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;">So yesterday David and I picked him up early from daycare (3pm). I made cupcakes for his friends and teachers at school and we sang Happy Birthday. The teachers took pictures of us, which I will try to post later. </span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:130%;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:130%;">Now on to the exciting news. </span><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;">Drum Roll please...............</span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:130%;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:130%;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:130%;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:130%;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:130%;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;">No Im NOT pregnant! LOL He went to the potty!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If I was there I would have taken photos of the momentous occasion! Go Caleb!!!!!!!!!!! Being a boy, I'm shocked that he did it. Of course his daycare is always talking about the potty, going to the potty, pulling your pants down, picking them up, etc. So we are so excited that he did it! Now, lets see if this was a one time thing.....I have a sneaky suspicion that it was.</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;">Caleb is also moving up! Hes working on transitioning to his new class! They will be doing more potty training (a bit heavier in this class). I will keep you all posted on how he does with potty training and his new class.</span>Christinahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04999714218700984140noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6380245927994112884.post-22508802179866117612011-08-01T11:53:00.004-05:002011-08-01T12:04:58.853-05:002nd Birthday Party<span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:130%;">We had Caleb's birthday party a week ago.
