My Babies

Baby #1 - 17 months old

  • Last night she pulled up to standing for her first time ever.  Ya, she's only about a 9 months behind other children.  We love her anyway. 
  • She is learning so many new words and concepts.  She is just starting to put words together such as "Bye, bye, Dada."  Aaron and I think that we hear saying things like "Here you go" and "Where's Dada?" but we aren't 100% sure that she is actually saying these things.  Last night she learned the word for "apple" and "broccoli" all in the same meal.  We were proud to say the least. 
  • She still isn't walking on her own but we insist that she walk all over our house all day long.  She seems to be improving and gaining confidence.  
  • She is not a huge fan of chicken or beef but she absolutely loves pork and ham.  She would be willing to eat an entire meal consisting of only ham.  
  • She was weaned in the past week and a half!  I won't publish all the gory details on the internet but basically she just became less and less interested until I just decided that it wasn't worth feeding her one meal a day if she was only going to eat for 1 minute.  

Baby #2 - 17 weeks 
  • I finally had my first prenatal appointment and ultrasound.  We wanted to wait until after the New Year because any appointments in 2013 we had to pay out of pocket whereas all of 2014 appointments merely go to our deductible which we know we are going to reach. 
  • Everything looks healthy and I feel quite fine.  My belly literally just popped out in the past day or so.  
  • I'm sure I felt the baby move at 15 1/2 weeks but then right at 16 weeks I felt the baby kick me.  I haven't hardly felt anything since.  
  • I was super blessed to be able to get my midwife again.  She recently started a teaching position and after accepting me and one other client, she decided that she no longer has time for her private practice.  God was so good to provide this! 
  • My child supposedly weighs 5 oz.  I guess this explains my weight gain.  ; )
