Angie's Teeth

There's some big news in our house...Angie is cutting two molars!!!! I am really excited (maybe too excited). There is one on each side. I noticed the first one yesterday and the second one today. She has been pretty crabby this week but I just chalked it up to Nick being out of town and the fact that she missed him. I do think she misses him but now I know there is a physical reason she has been crabby. I had noticed that she was gnawing on her hands a lot the last couple of weeks so I thought that her molars might be coming in, but I wasn't really sure.

Angie talks so much now. She will repeat just about anything. She doesn't just repeat though, I usually have to ask her to say what I am saying. I am trying to teach her how to say "I love you". She does say please and thank you when prompted now. At least she's polite! She seems to be understanding a little more about baby. If she sees a baby on TV she will look at my stomach and I think she might be making the connection.

On the baby front, everything is going fine. I got the results of my glucose tolerance test and I don't have gestational diabetes. I kind of figured that I didn't but its nice to know for sure. I go back on Tuesday, I am already at the every two week appointments. I can't believe its that close. You only have a couple of two week appointments and then you go every week and then a baby comes!! I can't believe I only have 10 weeks left (or 7 if he is like his sister).

That's all for now. If something important comes out of Tuesday's appointment, I'll let you know.

Angie, Angie, Angie

Well, little miss Angie has definitely grown up a lot over the last few weeks. She has learned how to say "no" but she only says it to Ryan (her playmate) and usually only if he has picked up her beloved Babo (Elmo). She is doing much better in the childcare on Sundays and on Thursdays for my Bible study. She goes right in and plays and has a good time. She has definitely learned how to try my patience. She will do things just for defiance sake. I know that it is just a phase but some days are quite challenging. On the whole, she is still just the best little girl. Everywhere we go, we hear how cute and adorable she is (like we didn't know that already). I actually had someone tell me the other day that she should be in commercials. She is quite talkative these days, although I still don't understand most of what comes out of her mouth. She can repeat a lot of words (Nick even got her to repeat the alphabet). She has finally come up with a name for her babysitter, Jessica. She calls her Kika. She does seem to like the idea of a baby in Mommy's tummy, she kisses it and says Hi to baby. I am including a pic of her with her best friend and her favorite TV show.

Caleb's Room is Ready

Well, we finally have Caleb's room ready for his arrival. The only thing missing are some paintings by my best friend and Angie and Caleb's godmother, Jana. I know it seems a little early to get the room ready, but I feel much more relaxed knowing that it is done.



We found his bedding first and room came from that. We went with a theme of brown and blue. Also, we are using sock monkeys to decorate. We are really excited to have it completed, it makes him seem more real. Of course, all of the kicking he does reminds me every day that he's there. Its just knowing that we are ready for him makes me feel at ease.

I don't have to worry about that anymore. We are keeping the door closed to his room so that the cats stop going in there. They have to realize that its not their room anymore. I have no idea how they are going to adjust to having another baby in the house to chase them. Well, I hope you like Caleb's room as much as we do!
