Today I we got to see the little bean swimming around in my belly. I hadn’t been feeling well for the last couple of days and I made an appointment with my doctor to make sure that everything was ok. I found out that I had a fever of 37.5, which for me is pretty high and that also the fetus’s heart rate had gone way up to 180 bpm, which is not good. The doctor then took me in for an ultrasound the next day to make sure that everything was ok and that the baby was not under any stress. He/she looked great and by that time the heart rate had gone way down. It was really fun to see the little one in there, it brought me back to being pregnant with Sophie. Brad thinks I am crazy, but this new baby looks just like Sophia to me. Maybe I am a little crazy, but who cares. We got to see all the little limbs moving around and the baby even had hiccups, I didn’t know they get those so early on. I also got my heart doppler in the mail the other day, so now I can hear the heart beat anytime I want. I LOVE IT!!!! Anyway, just wanted to write a quick little post about that. I have the 11 week belly pictures up as well. I think my belly is changing shapes.

I have NOT been in the mood to blog at all. I always have all these things to say, but no motivation to actually sit down and write the stuff. Here are some pictures from the last couple of weeks.

 This is how I found her sleeping in her crib. She was asleep for 3 hours so I went in to wake her up. She looked really cute so I just had to have a picture.

Sophia was being a typical whiny toddler so I pulled up a chair and let her do dishes with me. Please excuse the frumpy looking mommy, I had just gotten out of bed from a rough no sleep night. The new fetus thinks sleep is overrated.

I guess people are right when they say that you can’t leave a toddler alone for even a short little while. I was working on my laptop and she was sitting by my feet. I thought it was a little too quite and when I looked down this is what I found. She seems to think that tearing toilet paper into tiny little pieces is really fun…

The new chair that we bought for her…

And reclined…

I updated the expanding belly blog, but it’s not from this week, this weeks will be up later on…

I’m such a slacker when it comes to blogging. I know I love reading other people’s blogs, and get all frustrated if they don’t write for a while, and here I am not posting anything. Sometimes I feel like I don’t have anything interesting to say, but then again I have a 14 month old toddling around the house, how can I not have something interesting to say.

Sophie is growing like a weed. I look back at the pictures of when she was first born and I am blown away at how much this little girl has changed and how much she has grown. At first it seemed like the newborn stage was never going to end, and now I wonder where the time went. She’s turning out to be such a little girl now. She just cut her 12th tooth today and I see the eye teeth coming in the very near future. I was always told that molars are really hard on kids and that I should expect her to be hard to handle, not the case with this little one. I didn’t even know that she had cut the first 3 until they were completely through, and the 4th I knew because I was keeping an eye on it. I am so happy that she handles things so well. I know that all moms tend to brag about their kids, but Brad and I really are blessed to have the child that we do. She is very well mannered and she listens very as well. I think my biggest pet peeve is when people ask me how she is and tell them that she is a very easy going no tantrum girl, and they tell me to wait a few months and it will all change. It’s like they’re waiting for her to turn bad, and maybe her attitude will change in a few months, but so what?? It’s all a part of growing up. She is happy, she doesn’t throw fits when she doesn’t get what she wants, she doesn’t bite or kick when she is upset, I’d say I’m a pretty lucky mommy.

Onto another note…I think she has forgotten how much fun swimming is. Ever since I found out that I am pregnant I have stayed away from the pool since I am not allowed to go in the hot tub. Yesterday Brad and I decided that it would be fun to take her out swimming for a short little while. My little water baby whom just adored swimming just screamed and cried and then cried some more. It’s like she has completely forgotten how much she used to love the pool. I still wonder if she got so upset because there were too many people there, or if she just doesn’t remember going to the pool. We took her into the kids hot tub where she just clung to Brad the whole time, and anytime he tried pulling her away from him she would just stick her bottom lip as far out as she could and make a huge pout. I was disappointed that she didn’t have a good time, and I guess now I have to go sing up for swim lessons again.

I tried to only sit in the kids hot tub for a min at a time not to overheat myself, it was so nice to be in there though. I have missed being able to take hot baths, showers are just not the same.  While I was sitting on the ledge of the hot tub this lady threw a ball and it hit Sophie right on the back of her head. She of course got a dirty look from both Brad and I. Seriously, if you don’t know how to throw properly, the kids hot tub is not the place to learn that. She came over and said that the ball was not meant to hit Sophie but  her friends baby whose baby was not more than 4 months old. I think that lady a few marbles that were missing. Who throws a ball at a baby?

Well I am off to rest and play some Zuma, hope everyone is having a good weekend.
