Progress!!!

Dillan not only tasted chocolate pudding.  He took full blown bites.  He INITIATED the bites and he did NOT spit them out!!

This is huge.  This is... unspeakably huge!!!

When the weather guy gives up.. you might as well too.  The high for Thursday is zero.  That's right.. ZERO!

Apparently today is Braxton Hicks day for me.  Every time I get up, walk or go upstairs, they start.  They're uncomfortable to say the least but they do go away.  This is precisely what I need.  It does make me incredibly thankful that Adam didn't have to go the training thing this month.  He's really being quite fantastic this pregnancy. 

We still have no clue what we're going to name this little man... we both like Gage but that's about as far as we've gotten. 

Oh, MAJOR freakout the other day.  I decided to go through Jeffrey's old baby clothes and sort out the sizes I'd need for the first few months.  Guess what... I. Saved. NOTHING!  I was crying like you wouldn't believe and will probably start again if I think about it much.  I remember donating SOME baby clothing and all the gear but I sure thought I saved SOME of the outfits!  Apparently I did not. 

So I post my freakout on FB and people come to my rescue!!  My cousin has graciously offered me anything and everything she has left over from her 2 boys and one of Dillan's therapists tell me she has clothes to donate to the cause as well.  Now that that's taken care of perhaps I can relax again.

Perhaps.

I still have a blog?

Who knew?!?!

Ok, so what's happened since April. Well, Adam made it home safely and managed to get me knocked up within a few days. I tell ya, when that man puts his mind to something...

So that makes me 6 months pregnant as of today. Its boy #3 for us and I really am excited about that. Sure I get the "Oh, were you hoping for a girl?" or the "Are you going to try for a 4th now in hopes of getting a girl?"

Whether we try for a 4th or not will be based solely upon our circumstances... not on the 3 boys we will have. I love my boys and they love their momma.

Dillan spent a while in the hospital in late Oct. early Nov. for yet another line infection. They had to pull his port and discovered that there is only one access point left that is not compromised. So, no port for now. We're saving that for if/when something catastrophic occurs.

Jeffrey turned 4 and I'm realizing that I love this age. He's my first to reach even close to this developmental stage which reaffirms my position that I have 2 first children.

Adam will be going out again soon after the baby gets here... not looking forward to that at all. I'll have to become quite the expert at converting video camera on to dvd for mailing to him... my husband never does manage to be anywhere close to internet access while he's out there...

I'll upload u/s pics if I can ever manage to scan them in.

*sigh*
