I took R. to the doc on Sunday for her SIX MONTH well child appt.  I cannot believe she's six months already!  She's right on track with all of her developmental goals and is a perfectly healthy baby.  She is now 26 3/4 inches (90th %) long and 17 lbs 1 oz (75th%).  She can sit up if you balance her first and can hold it for a while as long as her ( Read more... )

Yep, I saw gas for $1.78 per gallon today!  While I'm personally pleased about the affect this will have on my bank account, I am now skeptical about the nature of our species.  Will we do everything we said we will do to find alternative oil reserves or energy resources now that we aren't paying $4 per gallon for gas?  Squeaky wheel gets the ( Read more... )

to be the best Daisy Scout leader I can be.  OH man...what have I gotten myself in to?  N and I went to a new member event for the Girl Scouts last night and well...I was talked into being a leader!  I went there thinking I wouldn't mind being a co-leader, but  the other 5 women who were there fom N's school looked at the ground when the subject ( Read more... )

I talked to my Mom this afternoon. She is watching the girls.  Evidently when they were having lunch today N was trying to put two carrots in her mouth. Grandma told her to eat one at a time.

N jokingly said "you're not the boss of me".  
Grandma replied "Oh yes I am!"  
N said, "Nope, my Daddy is the boss of me!"  
Grandma followed that with "Well... ( Read more... )

So, last week sometime while I was feeding the baby, Shrique came across N sitting in the other room looking glum and pouting.  He asked her what was wrong and she replied, "I'm jealous...I don't like to feel jealous so I'm just going to sit here until it goes away ( Read more... )

 So I had another Biophysical  this morning along with an OB check.  Results were 8/8 again. She's really behaving herself in there!  My BP was excellent this morning!  110/70 which is super low for me so that's great!

She checked my cervix and last week I was closed but about 50% effaced.  Today I was 80% effaced and dilated to 1 ALMOST 2. She ( Read more... )

N. is getting so grown up!  She lost her first tooth today!  It has been wiggling and wiggling for a few weeks now, but tonight at dinner it finally fell out!  Unfortunately Shrique noticed it was gone AFTER she swallowed it!  (Sniff Sniff...I was going to keep that!  I'm so sad that she swallowed it!!!)  We wrote the tooth fairy a note tonight to ( Read more... )

So I had my Biophysical profile and OB appt this morning.  Little stinker was sleepy this morning and had to make the US tech work for her money.  We measured fluid right away and it looks great. Then we waited around for the breathing motions.  I had to roll on to my side and wait some more.  Then she started breathing motions and we checked that ( Read more... )

So I have reached the part in my pregnancy that I will be going into the OB office twice a week for Biophysical Profiles.  These entail an ultrasound, and if anything sketchy comes up on that, a non stress test where they hook you up to a monitor to watch for contractions and fetal heart rate.  The reason I have to do them twice a week until I ( Read more... )
