9 Months

4 weeks left!!! I can't believe it! I had a doctor's appointment on my 36 week mark with an ultrasound to check everything. Turns out Too Buddy is giving us something else to worry about. He is head down, but he's diagonal. His little bum is up under the right side of my ribs and his little head is tucked nicely into my left hip. I always wondered why I constantly felt him digging into that hip and not much movement on the other side. Now I know why! I've got another ultrasound scheduled this week to see if he's moved. Then it's on to manually trying to move him and if that doesn't work, then C-section. Come on little guy, MOVE! It's not like he has far to go so we'll see what happens. I've been trying to coax him to the other side by lying more on my right. Sometimes I feel like he's moved, but then I'll feel him back to his usual spot again. Wish us luck!

UPDATE: I had my follow-up ultrasound yesterday and the baby had his head on the other side! So it seems like he is just going back and forth and my doctor thinks that he will eventually even out. He's not even that much off centered. Phew, I hope that's the case!

My Little Talker

Beau has turned into quite the talker around here and such a copy cat. He's been copying the last one or two things that I say, among numerous phrases and sayings. I love to hear him talking. He is learning so much and has a genuine sweet spirit.

Some of my favorites...

Dodie - Dory (from Finding Nemo)
I dove you - I love you. He'll say, 'I love you Mama' and then I'll say, 'I love you Beau' and then he'll say it again as, 'I love you Mama Beau' or just 'I love you Beau'.

I found it!
There it is
There they are
Owhyyyyyy?
Hey-O - Hello
Habit - Ribbit/Frog
Another...car, bus, etc.
Hini - Wendy
Calf - Giraffe
Where's Beau?
What's down there?
Package guy - UPS or Fedex trucks
Wee - Playground
Come on!
What is this Mommy?
Carzan - Tarzan
Waffles today
Guess what...Emi's house, Grandma's house

If he wants to take something with him and wants to know if it's ok, he says 'with you?'

He is starting to understand that there's a baby in Mommy's tummy and he often asks to kiss it. Melts my heart!

8 Months

We are in single digit countdown! It's weird to say that I'm due next month! But...if I go late, I can easily have this baby in June, so it might not be as soon as next month.

I'm finally on some thyroid medication and I'm feeling pretty good. It's either the medication or that nesting instinct finally kicking in. Whichever one it is, I'll go with it.

I'm not looking forward to it heating up. I bought my first maxi dress and I may end up wearing it every.single.day! So comfortable and no adjusting every time I get up.

Happy Easter 2012

We had a fun Easter this year! Beau did a great job collecting eggs and did an even better job at eating all of his candy. We were able to participate in 3 egg hunts throughout the week.

Here are some pictures from the first one we went to.

Looks like his mind is hurting from imagining all the candy the eggs are containing!

We had an egg hunt at Grandma & Grandpa Harrison's house. Too bad he's been waiting all winter to get in a jump session on their trampoline and that seemed to trump all the easter egg hunting.

If he could see an egg then he would be willing to take a break from jumping and put it in his basket.

Then it was back to jumping!

Unfortunately, the gnats were out in full force and it wasn't that much fun being outside. I guess they were bothering Beau's ears so when he wasn't jumping, he was covering his ears to keep them safe.

Happy Easter!
