Catching Up

Here are some bits and pieces of things we've done, accomplished, and are looking forward to.

This is just Matthew being his silly self. He constantly cracks us up.

-He loves doing art projects as well as playing with play doh.
-He's still obsessed with Toy Story but now also really likes Alvin and the Chipmunks 1 & 2 as well as Underdog. (He noticed on his own that the voice of Underdog was Dave from the chipmunks movies as well as Earl from My Name is Earl).
-We went to see Alvin and the Chipmunks 2 in the show and he recited the majority of the movie as well as danced the choreographed part at the end.
-While doing play doh he pointed out to me that an upside down "m" is a "w." I was really impressed.
-He knows all his letters to say and by sight recognition, and he can count to 20. He is still a little hard to understand at times but he knows them all.
-He has become crazy about Legos, and not just the Duplo but the big kid ones as well. He enjoys watching Daddy & Mommy spend hours building them then he destroys them within minutes.

Down to almost 3 weeks and counting.

-We are seeing doctors twice a week now because they think that the baby might be a little small. So they are monitoring her just to make sure she is getting all her nutrients and enough oxygen. If they don't think she is they will induce me early, we go a week from Tuesday for another ultrasound. Its nothing serious it just means she would be better out then in. Last week she had the highest score she could get on the APGAR so everything is looking good. It seems hard to believe that after having Matthew at 8.5 pounds we would have a small baby at 5.5 pounds. She'll probably end up being a big girl and late.
-Papa, Grammy, & Daddy painted her room and it is all set. (pictures will come later). She has a girlie safari theme.
-We have gotten all the baby paraphernalia out of the attic and crawl. Now we are a bit overwhelmed by all the baby stuff, and the amount of laundry I have to do.
-Matthew understand we've having a baby and he talks about her, I just don't know if he realizes she will be here to stay. We're working on trying to get him to understand that.
-We have a name but you'll have to wait until she arrives to hear that
