Lot of catching up to do.

Yikes. It has been a long time since I posted let alone post pictures. I need to start making this blog a priority again! I am hoping Joey can set up our network again so I can pull pics from "his" computer in the basement. Makes it easier for me to blog.

A lot has happened....a lot needs to be blogged.....hope to get to it soon........

6 Months

Yesterday I had my 6 month appointment. It went well. Heard the heartbeat. Next month I have my glucose test and after that I am going every 2 weeks. Crazy! The baby is moving around like crazy...don't remember this much movement with Hayden. I guess she figures she has to compete for attention with her brother so she needs to be noticed so we don't forget about her. She is doing a good job.

Can't Sleep

I am posting this at 4 AM wide awake! My body now seems to be on a new schedule. Sleep at 10....awake at 3-6......back to sleep. I remember waking up when I was pregnant with Hayden, but didn't think that started until later in the pregnancy.

I noticed as I was tossing and turning earlier trying to get back to sleep that it is getting harder for me to toss and turn. The belly is surely growing. Yesterday we ran errands and then went to friends to watch the Iowa game. I could barely walk when we got home. Too much time on my feet and my legs surely were sore and cramped.

Joey and I were just talking that this little girl is going to be here before we know it. It is almost Halloween...then Thanksgiving....then Christmas......then a month later baby! This time of the year always seems to fly by.

I have been meaning to sit down and write a catch up post. I have been slacking lately at blogging and a lot of fun things have been happening. I don't want to go to the basement now and post pics from that computer...toooo cold. Maybe tomorrow I can find the time.

Chilly fall/winter weekend

Right now Hayden is standing at the door waiting for Grandma and Grandpa P to pick him up and take him to the farm for an overnight. He is beyond excited. He packed last night..in a grocery bag....a blanket, a blanket for Noah, and rafi.

This morning he was standing by the door waiting for Grandma and I told him she would be here in 7 hours. He said, "that's not NICE" and stomped off.

Joey and I may go on a date tonight. Not sure what the plan is yet. Looking forward to some quiet time.

THOMAS

Friday my parents picked Hayden and me up for a trip to Boone to ride Thomas. Hayden was soooo excited he didn't fall asleep the night before until 11. He wore his Thomas jammies and slept with his Thomas the train figures all night.
Hayden loved feeding the animals, watching the kids in the bouncy toys, crafts, and most of all riding the train!
When they dropped us off Hayden cried when my mom told him he couldn't get back in the car and go with them. He even brought out the seriously melt your heart pouty lip. It was an absolutely wonderful day and great memories to have with Grandma and Grandpa Gee. Thanks mom and R for the fun day!!!

Yucky Vitamins

It only took 3 years 1 month and 2 weeks before we had to call poison control. Last night after Hayden was put into bed I was in the kitchen and thought I heard the clicking of a childproof bottle trying to be opened. I walked into the bathroom only to find Hayden putting the lid back on my unisom bottle. When I walked in he said "these vitamins are yucky!" So with some investigation we discovered that he ate at least one because he said they were like jelly and they are soft gel tablets.

Poision control had us monitor his heart beat and breaths per minute. They called us every hour to get the results for about 4 hours.

He is fine but was in a deep sleep. We managed to rouse him...but he was MAD.

So today we are going to relocate the pills. I guess over the sink isn't child proof enough. He can climb up about anywhere....very quietly I may add.

Bring on the dresses and hair bows..........

It's a GIRL!!!!

It's a......

we don't know yet. I had my appointment today and everything was fine. I am measuring 19 inches and should be 20, but she said she wasn't worried at all.

Our ultrasound is scheduled for tomorrow at 2:30. I will update then!!!
