We had our 12 week prenatal check up on Friday. Everything was great! We got to hear the baby's heartbeat and it was pumping strong at 164! Dr. V said everything was perfect! I go back on April 23 for my 16 week check! That's about all for that =)
Ellie got to go with us, she wasn't too sure about the dr. at first but thought the HB sounds was "Cooooo!" Silly kid! I can't believe how much she's growing right before my eyes! I look at her everyday and think, "Man! WHERE has the time gone?" I swear I just brought her home from the hospital yesterday! She's SO much fun and SO full of personality! She's a real spitfire! She's learning to count to 10, colors (her favorite is green) and she recognizes the letters E, L, I, M, O and A when she sees them out and about! I'm so proud of her!!! She's also learning songs and rhymes and repeats them randomly. It's so cute! At her swimming class, they sing "Rain, rain go away, come again another day, little Ellie wants to play, rain, rain go away!" and she sings it ALLLL the time, especially in the shower when we're washing her hair! She also knows "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star," "This Little Piggy," and "No more monkeys jumpin' on the bed" (She knows that one in sign language too)! She really just amazes me every single day!
Cory started school (again) today! He's going back to college to get his AA, in addition to his AAAS (Criminal Justice Degree). This quarter he's taking Western Civilization, English 102 and Geology. He's pretty excited about it and I'm proud of him for taking that step! Aside from school he's working second shift at the Penitentiary still (6a.m. - 2p.m.) and really kind of hates it. We're just hoping and praying for a WWPD position to claim him! He's also keeping busy in the yard now that the weather is warming up a little. Now begins the never ending tasks of mowing, seeding, fertilizing, weed whacking, edging. *sigh* I'm just looking forward to the BBQ's!
I'm keeping busy too. In addition to my beautiful bundle of bouncing off the walls baby girl ... I've been watching Maddy, who's 6 weeks younger than Ellie ... and they're BEST friends ... and Logan who is 3 months old. This on top of my daily chore load keeps me on my toes for sure! I'm trying to find more time to get a little hobby time in, but it proves to be a lot more difficult than I expected. I taught myself how to sew cloth diapers and was doing that quite a bit for a while (I got a sewing machine for my birthday from my WONDERFUL husband and my mom-in-law!), I think I've made a total of 6, and now want to get caught up on ... started on really ... Ellie's scrapbook! I'd like to be fully caught up on her 2.5 years by the time Baby #2 arrives. I also taught myself how to make nursing covers! Little Logan's mom had one that caught my eye and I decided to take measurements and make one myself! My best friend, Katie, who just had her first baby, Kennadie, 2 weeks ago is sportin' my creation and says she loves it! I'm trying to get a second one made to send to my Sissy in PA, who actually just delivered my niece this morning! Miss Cordelia Elizabeth Fleur Tice arrived at 3:21 a.m. weighing in at 7lbs. 14oz. and was 20.5" long! CONGRATS SEESTER and DC, and WELCOME TO THE WORLD MISS CIA!! Anyway, I have to get that cover made and in the mail ASAP! =) I'll post pics of my creations as they come!
Signing off for tonight ... thanks for reading!
