Crawling!

Yes we finally have a crawler! I knew that bugs was getting close to being mobile, today he decided to confirm it. He is going to be into everything now. Can't you see the look on his face. This is the what did I just do look.

Of course I am feeling overwhelmed with babs on the way. I am not sure how I can handle two kids under the age of two. I am sure a lot of hair dye will be in order. With about two months to go, I am feeling very nervous and apprehensive.

Taekwondo

Bob had her first taekwondo class January 18th. I think that she really liked it even though the uniform felt stiff to her. I am glad she was able to get some energy out of her system. We have a membership that lasts this week to see how she will like it. We can go as many times as we want this week and then see if she will be able to continue. I think some grades need to improve before this happens. She really does look cute in the uniform as well. I will try and post a picture if we are able to go to class on Saturday.

28 Week Check Up

January 13th we had our 28 week check up with the nurse. Bp was still down 126 / 88. The bottom number is kind of a concern but as long as it does not creep into the 90's I think we are ok. Babs's heartbeat was in the 150 - 160 range and everything looks good. I am measuring at 30 weeks, which is a slight bit ahead.

I also had the glucose test. Thankfully I did not have to drink the entire bottle. I was shocked by that. There was a little problem in drawing my blood as the nurse could not find a vein. I was hoping not to come out of the office black and blue. Thank goodness she found a vein. She mentioned if I do not hear anything that everything is good. Well I am the type of person that hates not knowing for sure what is going on. I called the office today and I passed! Yay! Bring on the sugar!

Happy Birthday Bugs!

Yesterday my little boy turned eight months old. I am wondeirng where the time is going? It is just flying by so fast. I can not believe soon he will be a year old. He even took a couple of steps yesterday. I have a feeling he is going to skip crawling. Thank goodness we have the baby gates up already.

Santa

On December 20th we took Bugs to see Santa. Craig thought he was going to freak out when he saw him. I admit I was a bit nervous as well. We got to the mall and saw a huge line. So we did a little shopping and the line was soon down to nothing. I decided to wait in line bugs and daddy joined me soon after. I was telling Bugs all weekend that Santa says Ho Ho Ho. I got a laugh out of him every time I did that. I guess I look the part. I even have the belly that shakes like a bowl full of jelly. We finally got to the front of the line and Daddy was all set to take Bug's picture with Santa. Then lets see if I can put this nicely the elf told us we can not take our own personal photos. I was like your kidding right. The nice elf said no that is what keeps Santa coming back. I thought huh I thought Santa was all about the kids. Anyhow I shell out the money for the photos hoping that we will get a good one. Bugs did really well he did not cry or fuss at all. Hopefully his little sister will be the same way next year.

24 Week Check Up

We had our 24 week check up on the 16th of December. We heard the heartbeat nice and clear and everything is measuring right on schedule. I did ask the Dr. if we can keep the April 1st due date and she said no. Sorry honey! She is concerned that if I go into labor an hour a way the drive and the ride would not be pleasant. So what does this mean? We are looking at a March baby! It is not the Sapphire stone that I wanted for my mother's ring but at least it is blue. Maybe in a year or two I will get the Sapphire.

Christmas Program

I can not believe it is already time for Bob's Christmas program. It seems that we were just celebrating Thanksgiving not that long ago. As I look at the calendar I am also reminded that it is only 10 days until Christmas. Where does the time go? I am hoping to video tape bob's performance. Depending on where we are sitting and how well bugs will sit through the program. Hopefully the 7:00 p.m. time will not cause him to be fussy.
