So we are trying to get the last few things we need for the baby. Plus, just house stuff in general. I just finished making a belly book of all my belly pictures using Shutterfly. I also took advantage of the free five cards for St. Patty's day. I love Shutterfly.
Hadley Update!
Hadley is talking more and more. She can sing songs too. The other day she really started to pick up on the ABC song. She also counts to 11 and then starts over at 8. Too cute. We have been going to school on Thursday mornings. She likes to explore with the new toys there. She enjoys the themes they have and likes snack time. She loves to snack but is getting super picky with her snacks. She knows she wants something but when you offer her an orange, she says no, when you offer her a bowl of ice cream she says yes. So we try to keep her contained with the fruit, crackers, raisins and so on. But, sometimes she gets ice cream. If I just peel an orange and put it out for her she will usually eat it. She also won't just eat crackers, she has to have cheese and meat to put on her crackers.
Potty training is up our alley as we have seen some of the readiness signs. But, we will wait to approach this until after baby is born and we are all adjusted. She tells me when she has pooped and she knows when she has a really wet diaper. She sometimes will have a dry diaper even after having it on for hours. We have all the equipment needed, potty chair, potty seat for on top the toilet, underwear, thicker underwear. We do need to purchase some pull-ups still and a mattress cover. So we will hope for a warm spring so we can get her in dresses and pull-ups and start our adventure into potty training. They say it takes 8 months before they are officially considered trained and they also say to wait until the child is ready. The only thing that is concerning to me is that Hadley has not peed in the potty ever!
Baby Update!
I am 35.5 weeks along. I am feeling good but anxious to meet this little being. I know it is easier with her/him on the inside so I need to take advantage of all the time I have left. We officially have under 4 weeks left as we think we will be induced sometime between March 15th-18th. I had a doctor appointment yesterday, I measure about a week small so I had an ultrasound. The baby weighs 5.8 oz and that is +/- 13 oz. So who knows for sure. But, the measurements are within range which is great. The heartbeat yesterday was 140-150. The last three Friday's it has been in the 120's. My NST's are going good too. Yesterday was by far the fasted one. I was in and out of the hospital and in and out of the clinic. I have a appointment with my new doctor, Dr. Leland this coming Tuesday, Feb. 22nd. I will be going to Brainerd. My Mom and Hadley are going to come along. We might do some shopping after.
We still are set on the names so Liam or Ellie will be here soon. 3.5 weeks or so!
