January 2009

WOW - I had no idea it had been THIS long since I last updated. Goodness. I am sorry. Logan is doing great. A few words here and there. I think he is going to skip the single words and go straight to sentences. I can say with certainty that he has the following words in his vocabulary (that I can understand - some people may not): down, tree, moon, there, keys, dog, daddy (still no mama or mommy), papa (sort of), uh oh & bye bye. There may be a few more, but I think that is pretty much all of them. He babbles a LOT and tries really hard to tell you a LOT, but it's in another language I think. ha. We took him off dairy (mostly) in December to see if it helped with his congestion. I also started him on Claritin. Surprisingly against my thoughts, he has done pretty good (knock on wood) for about 4 weeks. He had a little bit of a runny nose for about a week that never really manifested into anything big, but that is about it. Kids will get runny noses - I just don't want him to be congested all the time. We do the claritin often, but I try not to do it every day. It is so cold here right now that I doubt it would hurt to skip a few days. I think in the spring we will have someone come clean the carpets (maybe before the baby gets here). Hopefully that will help too.
 

"Baby T" as we have affectionately started calling him is doing good. Growing big and kicking me hard! Less than 12 weeks to go until D-Day! I have been having some blood pressure issues again this time and swelling so the doctor is taking me out of work again. Wednesday or Thursday will be my last day for a while. We tried BP meds, but they counter acted and made my BP bottom out so we are going to eliminate the "stress" of work and see if it helps. My BP is usually highest during the week anyways and fairly normal on the weekend when I am resting and playing with Logan. We have the baby room all painted and can not wait to get everything setup. I will post pictures (a lot of them) very shortly. I looked back at the pics and it has definitely been a while since I posted.
Logan had a GREAT BIG Christmas! He got lots of toys and clothes and it was so much more fun with him this year. He loved opening presents. We loved watching him.
He is enjoying daycare and loves being with his friends. He has gotten into a pretty good routine up there. It makes our days at home a lot easier too.
Well I go see the dr on Thursday to schedule the c-section and do my gestational diabetes test. Then on Monday the 26th I go for more ultrasounds so I will update sometime after that with some new pics. The last few pics have not been that great.
