We have a family of moose living with us

So I guess we officially have a family of moose living with us. Reagan has been talking so much about the moose that live with us lately. She brings them food, toys and all sorts of stuff. When I'm sitting on the couch, she brings them over so I can pet them... but only they baby one. I have to be careful.

I can't really remember when it all started, but she's been talking about them for the last three days solid. I figured I'd better write it down.

Her imagination has really taken off.

Flowers

Reagan has been so sweet lately. She's been bringing me flowers every day after school. Apparently she picks them up off the playground and puts them in her bin. She gets so excited to bring them to me - it's so cute.

I keep them most of the time on my dash in the car. She recognizes it too.

Today she brought me a bunch of leaves (flowers). I was just grateful none of it was in the poison oak/ivy families. :)

GRUMPY

Oh My! For the last several nights, Reagan has just been a pill to put to bed. She's always fought taking a shower or washing her hair because she wants to do everything by herself. But lately, she's not interested in going to bed. She seems to be scared of the dark. She's having night terrors again. She's a mess. I seriously hope it straightens out soon. I'm starting to wonder if she's reacting to my pregnancy.

Hmmm

Baby C scans

We had our follow up scan today for Baby C. All good news was reported. She's fine.

The brain measurement was within "normal range". Her weight and size are all normal. Come to think of it, normal is all relative right?

They said she was a little small which I don't get. She's already measuring about 4 pounds. That's over average. But whatever. They said she'd be at least 7 1/2 pounds when she's born. Again - NOT SMALL!

Anyway, I breathed a sigh of relief when the brain measurement seemed to be more of a mistake than anything.

Thank you God!

Sick again

I can't believe it. I think I've had the worst two weeks in a while. Two weeks ago today, I came down with a sinus thing. I was coughing and sniffing. I had trouble breathing through my nose. By Sunday, I was an official mouth-breather. I made it through three days at work before they told me to go to the doctor.

The doctor gave an antibiotic and also suggested I take some sudafed and afrin to breathe. The OB had said that was ok as well, so by Wednesday night I could breathe again. Whew.

Friday morning, I went in for my follow up ultrasound from my doctor's appointment and they said "your fluid levels are too low". I was instructed to get off all meds, stay inside, rest and hydrate. So I was back to not breathing. Ugh.

Monday morning, Jim and I went to St. E's to get checked again. All was good. The pareonatal doc said the fluid levels were normal and I was good to go.

Tuesday morning, my OB called to confirm the report but then also said "we found a soft marker off - the cisterna magna" and said we want to check you in two more weeks". Great. Not to worry though... HA!!! Tell a old prego woman not to worry. Geez doc.

On Wednesday, I went to work and by 10:30 am I was puking in the bathroom. Nice. Jim had a stomach bug the past weekeend. I guess I finally got it. I managed to get home and onto the couch. I puked another time that day and managed to get Jim to let me hide in the bedroom after Reagan got home. Two days later, I was back to work (on the couch).

Needless to say, I'm soooo done being sick. I've literally had something wrong virtually my entire pregnancy. This little girl is wreaking havoc on my life already. I totally can't wait to meet her. She's going to rock our world just like Reagan did - just in a different way.

Pray she's good and that I can stay healthy for the next two months. That's all I have left folks!!!

My prego pic at 29 weeks or so


Someone asked for me to post my prego pic, so here it is. As of the beginning of August, I was THIS BIG!!!

New tricks at the table

Last night, we gave Reagan a little girl cup filled with chocolate milk. After slurping it down as fast as she could, she proceeded to cover her mouth with the cup, suck in and create a vacuum on her face. She actually held the cup there. I was so impressed :)
