Seven-Oh-Oh

For the past couple months Gavin and Sophia have been rising earlier and earlier each day. To the point of ridiculous. Gavin has been getting up at about 4AM! I think he is getting up and waking her up. So, I decided to try to put an end to this. I got Sophia a pink digital clock for her room. When it says 7-0-0 she can get up. IF she gets up before then she has to take a nap during the day. Gavin can't read yet so a clock won't work. I have just been trying to tell him he has to sleep until the first bit of light comes out (which right now is about 7AM). This morning was the first morning that they both slept til 7. I am sure part of it was Gavin being sick, and Sophia and I were at church last night until late. But, Sophia came in my room with her clock (battery operated) that read 7:06! I was so excited, I wish I would have thought to take the picture right then, but I didn't.




I don't expect miracles tomorrow, but I am hoping with dalylight savings time coming up that this will get a little better then.

Sick man

Gavin has come down with a bug. We (and by we I mean Gavin and I, we could hear Shan snoring while we were up) were up nearly all night. Poor Gavin has never really been sick before. He woke up about 10:30-11:00 last night and was crying. I went to check on him and he had vomited. It wasn't very much, so I sent him in to see Daddy while I took care of changing his sheets. When I was done I went to check on him. He started kinda whining so I picked him up and he promptly threw up all over me! Little rascal! So, after hosing (read: showering) us off and getting him in clean jammies I put him down and laid down with him. He promptly fell asleep. I decided to try to catch some sleep and came back to my bed. Shortly thereafter Gavin started crying again. You get the point with where this is going. Needless to say I was out of sheets to put on the bed and told him so. I ended up putting him back in his crib (he had been sleeping in his big boy bed) because I had a few crib sheets left if I needed to change them. He ended up petering out about 2AM and woke me back up at 6:20 this morning. I kept him home from school today. He seems much better today. I was able to get him to eat some dry cheerios and diluted apple juice as well as a Popsicle, who doesn't love a Popsicle, especially banana flavored? So, all seems right in the world once again, except the smell of vomit which has taken up residence in my nose and I can't seem to get it out, not fun when you are pregnant!

Great Appointment today.

Here is the picture from the ultrasound.



The Nuchal Fold was 1.3 milimeters (anything under 3 is good). I won't have the full results back for about a week, but everything today looked great. The picture from today is not the greatest. But you can kinda see the hand next to the head.

Wish me luck

We have our nuchal translucency test on Tuesday. We will have bloodwork and an ultrasound. Just pray for a healthy baby. I will post ultrasound pictures when I get home Tuesday. Too early to learn the gender, but we will when possible.

Almost dead fish!

Sophia took it upon herself to feed the goldfish! Not a good thing. I had told her repeatedly not to feed the fish, I even put the fish food up high. But, her ingenuity got her up there and fish food down and she fed them. "only a little bip momma" she said. But the whole top was a layer of food slowly sinking to the bottom! So, I took a little less than half of the water out of the tank and replaced it with clean water, we are hoping for the best. The good thing is that those fish were only .28 for both of them!

Update on the fish!

Sophia played hide and seek with them this morning. She turned away from them, counted to 10, ran away, did a loop of the house, came back and said "I FOUND YOU" at the tank! It was FUNNY.

Goldie and Oscar

We have a new addition to our house!

Goldie is the orange one and Oscar is the white one with red head. Sophia named them. I think she did a wonderful job! She wanted a puppy, but settled quite happily on fish.
