Tooth Monster

Poor little Ty has been visited by the evil tooth monster recently!!

I know, I know it has to happen but it is so hard to watch him in so much pain and frustration. We noticed he had a slight fever last weekend. That has ended now but the remaining effects are just as bad. Poor little man isn't eating as much, very fussy and wakes up several times a night.

I wish there was more we could do for him. Baby Tylenol helps a little. We are considering getting some oral gel for him also ... just a little hesitant. We gave it to him the first time with his first set of teeth and he absolutely hated it. Maybe now that he is older he can handle it better.

Just hope this doesn't take too long. I am ready to have my happy go lucky little boy back.

Drop It Like Its Hot

I think with all the working, walking and nesting I did last weekend I prompt baby Fé to do the ever famous baby drop. I started to notice it the first few days but didn't quite put my finger on what was happening.

It started with eating. I can now fit more food in my tummy because it isn't as smushed up against my chest. I still have heart burn but not as frequent and bad. Oh and I can breath so much better now.

My next sign was my morning excersize and stretching. I start with some nice deep stretching and I realized that I could no longer bend over as far anymore. I guess she was high enough that I could bend forward but now she is sitting right at the bend point so I get stuck. Sucks cause I can't stretch my legs like I need ... they get so stiff in the night ... but I do get some relief.

Just one more step closer to the big day. I have at least three and a half more weeks to go to make it to 37 weeks.

Mother Bird is Nesting

After much waiting and anticipation the nesting phase of pregnancy has kicked in. I have heard so much about this stage of life. I didn't experience it much when I was pregnant with Ty. I think that is mostly in part because it wasn't my house and we didn't have much space to really nest about. The one room we were living in was mostly kept clean, except for occasional laundry build up.

Now however things are different. We are now staying in a 2 bedroom condo and all of our stuff is out of storage. While it isn't 'our' home it is our living space right now and we have a lot more to work with this time around.

It all started a few weeks ago but really hard this past weekend. I have constantly running around the house cleaning up messes and making sure the house is always clean. But then this weekend I started looking into corners and closets I usually wouldn't bother about. I am also now constantly looking for projects around the house to start getting into.

Good thing, house is getting clean and organized and prepared for baby Fé's arrival. Bad thing, I am pretty sure I am not suppose to be doing so much manual labor around the house.

Fé's 3D/4D Ultrasound

It only took 3 days to get Fé's 3D/4D ultrasound done. Well, not all that time, Fé just wasn't having it on the first go round on Saturday. This is all deja-vous. She's following right in her brother's footsteps. On Saturday, Fé would rather snuggle close up to Phil's placenta. She was right up against it, so the images weren't that clear. The folks at Stork Vision, who I must say were just warm and friendly and all round awesome, really wanted us to get the images, so they suggested rescheduling and trying again. It was a good decision, because we went back today and captured some amazing images.

So we have pictures and a video of the session. Here check out some of the pictures of Fé, our Lil' Ladybug.

Later.

Must This Happen

Don't get me wrong. I love change, growth and development. I just wish it didn't have to happen so fast. Ty is growing with leaps and bounds and I don't think I can keep up with him. I wasn't ready for him to be talking so much yet. And his over all helpfulness around the house and his ability to know when something is out of place and try to fix it. Oh and his instance on wanting to walk and carry my bag for me ... really? Where does that come from? I love it all. I just wasn't ready for it yet.
