New Dora Bedroom and Baby Room

Reagan has done really well getting used to her new big girl room. We filled the walls and her bed with "Dora" and she really likes it. She has not seemed to have any issue getting used to the size of the bed either. We all like the size of the bed, because it makes it easier to cuddle if we want to. :)

And now, because the baby's room is now set up, Reagan wants to play in there. I'm not sure why, but I'm sure she's getting used to the idea of having another little thing in the house.

Baby C updates

Oh My Gosh - It's over 100 degress today. It is NOT a good summer to be pregnant... or at least THIS pregnant. Ugh!

Zerbert

oh no, she figured out how to zerbert!

Baby C updates

I left work yesterday around 2:00 pm to lay down. I was having considerable pain across my abdomen and was having trouble sitting up. I got home, popped some Tylenol and laid down. By the evening, I wasn't much better. In fact I was worse. By the time Reagan had to go to bed, I was done for the evening.

So this morning I woke up thinking I'd be ok. Nope! So I called into work and called the doctor. Great thing - the doctor wanted me to come into today to check the baby.

I got to the doctor. They checked me for infections, pushed on my belly and said "hmmm... let's check with an ultrasound". Even better. The baby was just fine. The heart was beating and she was moving around just fine.

The doctor said to take it easy and come back in about a week to see how I'm doing. But he thought that my pain was muscle strain and round-ligament strain. I hope so. :)

Baby C updates

So lately Baby C has been beating my stomach up from the inside out. She's has literally kicked me all day and all night. Not only that but I've been having some upper stomach issues - not my stomach, but the actual muscles. Someone at work finally convinced me that I was having Braxton Hicks. Yea team.

The good thing is the last two days that they've calmed down. But I've also had more strain in my pelvic area. I've resolved to just not workout because it's not worth the three days of recovery. I am struggling to pick Reagan up or hold her for any period of time. I hate that. I'm so used to being super woman - nothing stops me. Well, nothing until I got pregnant again.

But, I look at it this way. I have a little baby growing inside me. That is just a miracle. I'm 40 and had no problems getting pregnant. I'm grateful. So another 12 weeks to be selfless and just take care of myself is all I can do.

I'm looking forward to the end of the pregnancy for a lot of reasons. But am patiently waiting her arrival.

If you feed my boots, it will feed the baby

Tonight, Reagan was eating goldfish crackers as a snack after school. After some period of time, she reached up and said "I want to feed the baby". So I grabbed the cracker and started to put it in my mouth. She yelled "no mommy, your boots". Hmmm. She reached up and put her hand in my bra and left goldfish crackers in there.

Now what?

I turned around and quickly removed them and ate them. Yummy!

She did it again. "Here mommy", she said reaching up towards my bra, "this is for the baby." Jim just looked at me and laughed.

I have an idea...

Reagan has been coming up with all sorts of new tings to say. It's been really fun watching her put together different sentences and phrases. Her speech is growing so fast that we can't keep up with it very well. But the other day she said "I have an idea" and kept going with something. I was laughing when I heard her say that and didn't listen to anything else.

I wish I could keep up with her better, but I'm a tad lazy these days with writing stuff down.
