* Today is my glucose test. Not really looking forward to it. Technically, I'm predisposed to it because of the PCOS but I still take the Metformin, which I would think would help, but we'll see. I also have a regular doctor's appointment today and after today's appointment, I'll start going every 2 weeks. Just another reminder at how close to the end we are getting.
* Emilee may turn out to one crazy baby!! When Noah was born, I thought this was easy. Almost 2 years later, I still think he's a pretty easy kid (hence why we decided to go for another...hehe). I thought my pregnancy with him was "normal", but it turns out he was easy and laid back even in utero. I hardly ever felt him kick or move compared to Miss Emilee. She is all over the place, jabbing me with what I can guess is her elbows and knees. Not to mention all the over fun symptoms she has caused (longer morning sickness, pains in my back...see the last post). So I can imagine that once she is born, she is going to continue her reign of fun, which will make for 2 very tired parents. Wish us luck!! (But don't get me wrong, I'm so excited for her to arrive!!)
* Noah is almost 2...what!?!?! Seriously, how did that happen. Just yesterday, I was giving birth to him, and even more recently, having his first birthday party. How did another year pass us by? Noah is having a birthday party but this year, it's just going to be for his little friends and their parents. And of course, it will be train themed. Lots more posts and pictures to come regarding that.
* Other things Noah is doing is talking in 2+ word phrases. I never thought we would get here, but we are...finally. Most of the time, he still talks in 1 word phrases, but every so often, there is a "please" or a "mommy" or "daddy" in there too. Or he'll say "I got it" or "read it". The most amazing thing to me is his use of the correct tenses of words. It's not perfect, but seriously, when I can ask him what he's doing and he responds "reading" or "running", that is amazing to me. Not only is his language skills blooming, but his overall comprehension is good too. Of course, he still has his days when he just refuses to listen. And we are definitely doing more time-outs these days. But he really is a good kid and I can't wait to see what the next stage brings.
* One last Noah update is on his potty situation. We've always taken the approach that we will just wait and let him take the lead. And we certainly weren't pushing it before Emilee arrived. But we have always had a little potty chair out for him. And he started becoming much more interested in it. He tells us when he has gone "poo poo" and he also says "pee pee" or "potty" but I think more times than not, that just means he just went in his diaper. But we still take him to the potty. So far, if we put him on his little potty, he will most of the time go, but just a little, which makes me think he is forcing it. On the big potty, he likes to sit on it, but doesn't ever go. We also bought a little seat for the big potty, but again, still nothing there yet. I think it's really hard since we are both working and it's winter, so he's got a shirt, undershirt, pants, and diaper on and by the time you get all that off, it's exhausting! I think we'll just keep encouraging him and doing what we can and then maybe once she is born and we take a few weeks off when the weather is warmer, we will try a full-on potty training time with undies and everything. Are we crazy for attempting potty learning and having a newborn? Probably, but if Noah gets potty trained out of it, I'm willing to try!
* The only other interesting thing in our lives right now is we are trying to re-do an old rocking chair. We got this chair for $10 at a garage sale and it has an ottomon and everything. The only problems were that it was missing a few nuts, bolts, etc and it's ugly. We did use it in our living room until Noah came and needed more room. Now I'd like to put it back since we no longer have a "rocking" chair in there (we got new living room furniture). So we took it all apart and David is going to paint it black. My job is to take the cushions and make new covers. I think I can do most of it myself. I'll make sure and post pictures when we are done.
