12 Months & OB Update

Hannah turned a year on Monday, March 2. We made choclate cupcakes. They both loved them! Hannah wore one from her head to her toes. The next day the dog helped himself to the rest of the cupcakes that were baked. Well....all but two..and that counter was full of them. We forgot to lock the dog up. He had an upset tummy for the next couple of days.

This morning we had Hannah's 1 year appointment andmy OB check up. Hannah is a big girl!! She's 22lbs 11in. and 32 in. long. Which puts her in the 75th percentile for weight and 99th percentile in length. She'sa healthy yet stubborn and determined. Mom likes to call her my divine retribution. She wore my mom out one day! I was relieved that it wasn't just me. But she's a busy beaver that likes to get into things she's not suppose to. She got into the kitchen cabinet that morning and pulled out all the bags. Mom and I pulled her away from it. About the time we got that picked up she had emptied out most of the wash cloth drawer. After that she spilled my orange juice in the living room, somehow slid herself under the baby gate to get onto the stairs, knocked the trash over and soo much more. She definetly has always kept me busy and makes it hard for me sometimes to get anything done.

KalieAnn is really enjoying having her Nanners around. She loves to cuddle with her, make her pretend dinners and help her out with whatever she happens to be doing at the moment. When we went to Joann's we got her some pretend reading glasses because just that morning she pretended to open glasses to put on her face.

The Baby is doing great. Its heart beat was at 160 and my tummy measured to size. I have been having a lot of cramps lately. Our doctor said that it sounded like round ligament pain. He went back in my chart and said I had it with Hannah about this far along. When he saw my mom in the room he went and got the handheld ultrasound. We got to watch it kick and move around. Well I'm off to enjoy having my mom around some more. She heads home Monday.

Birthday Party

Her birthday party was great! Just about everyone showed up and well I had a blast hanging out with everyone. Granted I was exhausted after I cleaned up the place a little. When you don't host get togethers like that very often you tend to forget the exhausting part of it. However my body still seems to be a bit out of whack when it comes to my hormones.

These past couple of days I have been a bit emotional. Some part because yesterday was a bit of a stressful day but putting that a side I still have been a bit more temper mental and bit more on the emotional side. SO I figured there would be two reasons... Reason One: My body trying to get back on a regular schedule seeing that I haven't had a period since I found out I was prego with Hannah. The doctor said that I should have one within a month of when I stopped nursing. Which was the 15Th of last month so we'll see..now he did say that before I have my period I will ovulate which goes to the Reason 2: Prego..since we are trying to get pregnant AGAIN. But I'm ruling out Reason 2 because I took a prego test tonight and it popped up negative.

And yes..I think I have lost my mind completely for trying for our third but here's our reasoning. When I was pregnant with KalieAnn my experience with a military doctor was far from good....It was SO far from a good experience that I would really not have to deal with it Pregnant again. Now Reason 1 is because I don't want to have another military doctor and I REALLY like the civilian doctor that I have now we've decided to start trying...

Why now? Because Mitchell only has 17 more(estimate) months on production adding prego time that's not a whole lot of time

Reason 2: We really would like to not have a baby in Nov., Dec, or January which means Starting January we'll be done trying if I am not prego by then till April. If that were to happen we'd be cutting really close to moving time.

So there it is our crazy decision to start trying for another...and yes I agree its crazy..there moments with the girls where they just drive me crazy and the first thought that pops into my head is "and your trying for another?" The thing is I love it when my girls drive me crazy because afterwards Cuddle time!!! I love when KalieAnn curls up on the couch next to me while I watch TV...She usually curls up right in my back or Hannah hanging out with me in the Glider. Well I'm tired..its been well an interesting day. The girls let me sleep in and it was just one of those rainy and gloomy days. Hard to get yourself moving but once I did I lost track of time and whola late dinner and now late bed time. I'm off to go investigate the back of my eye lids..God Bless!

Happy Birthday!!

Yesterday was KalieAnn's 3rd Birthday! You know, growing up I never understood why mom would always say that we were growing up way too fast. I thought time was dragging..I was always in such a hurry to grow up and now I have two kids of my own and find myself repeating my mom. It feels like yesterday when I went to the doctors worried that there was something wrong with me because it had been two months and we still weren't prego. Couple weeks later I conceived KalieAnn and then ten months later she arrived. Now three years later we're preparing for her birthday party this Saturday...Princess themed.
We had her three year check up this morning and it went great. They tested her hearing by putting these headphone like things on her and asking her to tell them if she hears anything. They put them on and KalieAnn had this look on her face that just made me giggle inside. A look of suspicion and not sure what to think of it. She just sat there completely confused. The nurse asked did you hear anything and nervously said "Yeah." She ran average for her height, 37 inches(50Th percentile) and as usual below normal for her weight, 28 lbs(25Th percentile). It ended with the doctor asking and talking about a three year old quest of trying to be independent and can be worse than the terrible twos. Always trying to figure out their boundaries. I told him when she does she surprises me. The other day I told her that the T.V wasn't going to be on and she comes back with a "you serious?" The doctor smiled and said I wonder where she got that from. Next thing I new, I had him and Mitchell looking at me. So yes..whenever Mitchell says something that irritates me I tend to say "Are you serious!?" and our wonderful Princess has picked up on it.
