A Couple of More Weeks

There are only 4 more weeks until I can make my appointment for the ultra sound. I am so excited, I am looking forward to this day as much as I am looking forward to Christmas. I will know the first week of January. I went to the doctor on Wednesday with Drew and Sean. They were able to come into the room with me this time because at these appointments they only take my blood pressure, weigh me, and then listen to the heart beat. The heart beat is going strong. When Sean went intoi the room and Drew was telling Sean that we will listen to the heart beat he said I want to see the baby. I told him not for a long time. But when we heard that heart beat, he had a big smile and was just staring at the thing that was making the noise. This made us so happy that day, to hear the heart beat and have Sean hear it also. When we were leaving the office Drew was like now it is starting to seem more real. He was nervous like I was that something wrong was going to happen so he didn't want to get overly excited until he knew everything was o.k. And now at this appointment it put us both at ease a lot.

I am finally over my first trimester sickness but now I am into my second trimester growing pains. The ligaments are stretching and oh boy does it hurt at work when I am doing a lot of bending. I was really worried about the amount of pain I was experiencing but the doctor said it hurts more than the first pregnancy and this is so true.

Sean's party is finally here. It is tomorrow and we all can't wait. Then after his party we can just talk about the amount of days left until Christmas because we have been showing him on the calander how far his party was and Christmas. We have a figure that we turn the dice on to count the days down until Christmas, but Sean always wants to keep the numbers at 25 because that is what we started at. He gets so frustrated when we try to teach him something and he doesn't understand it. It will get better when he gets into school more.

Sean's preschool quarter is over until January. The Chicago Park District programs go in quarters and now we have a long winter break until the next quarter. He won't mind the break though. I am excited about him starting the new program because we were able to sign him up into the 4 year old program that he will go to school for one more day and the days are 2 hours instead of one hour. So now when we drop him off we will be able to go home for the 2 hours instead of just hanging around the park. That is exciuting.

Well that is all of the updates I have for now as to what is going on in my little family.
