Ummm..

Ummm.... I can't really decide, but I think we'll stick with the babysite ... at least for now... Check it out, it's been updated for Autum!

Little Peanut

So far that's what he/she is... Today I had my first ultrasound. It was a vaginal one, I never had one of those with Jack, so it was a new experience. They said that it's too early to determine the sex, so we have to wait for twenty weeks to find out if it's a boy or a girl. As of now, we know it's a healthy, active baby and that he/she is not a twin (thank God)! The baby is also measuring exactly on time, so he/she isn't big yet.

I went to a new doctor. I love the practice - every person that I talked to was wonderful and I really, really liked the doctor. They are going to let me try to deliver vaginally (Jack was a C-section). But it pretty much has to be an absolutely perfect pregnancy and in the end, the ultrasound will have to estimate the baby's weight to be below 9lbs. Given Jeremey's genetics, we have a slim chance. He and all of his brothers were really big babies. Then if I do get to attempt to deliver, I will have monitors inside my uterus and if there is the slightest bit of distress, I will have an immediate c-section.

I'm glad that they are taking our health very seriously and that they are giving me a chance to deliver naturally. It's pretty hard to find a doctor and hospital that will let you attempt a VBAC, so I'm really grateful to find these doctors and that they're nice. We can only wait and see how it all goes... here's the first baby picture!

Another week...

Grama and Grampa left for a little vacation... Jack had to get some kisses in first. This is Jack at the park. We found a praying mantis and he loved playing with it.

Now he's pretending to be scared of it...

Then he said "eat, eat" and I gave him a cracker to eat, thinking that he must be hungry.

Jack wasn't hungry, but he is good at sharing.... I still love watching him walk, it's so cute...

We also got to go to Bupa Kevin's company picnic - and let me just say that this is not a regular company picnic. First thing Grandma and Bupa won a new computer... When we got there, we had hot dogs, jumped in the jumper, got a tattoo, played the games in the booths and got more lunch and then popsicles! Please, please don't let me forget that Jack got to sit in the cement truck AND honk the horn!!! He even got to see tractors and he hasn't stopped talking about it yet. On a normal day, I get to hear about Bupa's truck about 3 times. But so far this week, the conversation will not end. "Bupa truck - honk, honk (while making the motion). Bupa truck. And tractor , psss" (that's the sound the tractors make in Cars). Over and over, then I get to hear about the jumper. "Bump, bump, booboo? bump, bump - it broke (they let the air out for a few minutes), bump, bump all done." I love that he remembers things and wants to tell me about it. Every time he remembers, it's as if he's having as much fun as he did on Sunday when he did it for the first time. He just lights up with excitement.

Today he got to hang out with Grandma Karen and Bupa Kevin and his GG's. He told Grandma Karen "2 grandmas and 2 bupas" - wow he's smart, I can't imagine trying to figure out who everybody is... He also got to talk to Auntie Shellee on the phone. I heard he didn't say much, so we'll have to try that again another time, I know he misses her.

Harvest Festival

Hi Everyone... This weekend was the harvest festival at St. Paul's, our church. So Grama, Jack, Jeremey and I headed over there to check out the games and rides! Jack loved the swings, the dragons and the cars. He cried when his turn was over, just like at Disneyland. But there were no lines- so he could get right back on! He sort of liked the games - okay, he liked the prizes. He didn't really want to throw the ball, he thought that he should get to keep it. He wasn't too sure about the fish that he won, but that's okay because he didn't even make it 24 hours. Jeremey and I have tried to have fish as pets millions of times, but it never works. He loved the pizza and cupcake and even danced to the live music. He had a great time. I hope you enjoy the pictures! Otherwise, we've been having lots of fun. Grama and Grampa came over on Sunday too... They played with Jack and Daddy made us some great meatball sandwiches - yum! Jack is really maturing... He has a little friend, Dominique, that we see at the park all the time. They have a great time together, playing in the sand, blowing bubbles, drawing with chalk and chasing each other all over the place. I love that he is getting to the age that he actually plays with other kids, not just near them... One day they climbed to the top and sat and talked with each other for quite a while. It was so cute! He doesn't even speak all that clearly and she was asking him questions. A little while into it, I heard him say "a mama" and he turned around and pointed at me... what a cutie! Then the other day he played with another little boy. They shared their cars and followed each other with them. Then the cars would meet and say "hi Lightening," "Bye Lightening" ... this is a fun age. Pregnancy wise, everything seems to be going well (knock on wood). Next week I'll be 3 months! It sure seems to be going fast. We have no progress on names, so I guess we'll wait until we know what we're having... As of right now, we're working on sleeping arrangements. It's time for a big boy bed and a room make over!
