Wow, changes galore!
Barfing, puking, yacking, vomiting, puking, throwing up...you have a name for it...I've done it!
This baby is treating much like Walker did in that respect. All is well despite spotting a lot. I had an u/s done on May 11 and again on May 18th because I was in freak mode over the spotting and the disappearing symptoms. Even the nausea went away for a few days and I was scared silly. It isn't back in full force and that is great. That leads me to reasons why this baby must be a girl, teeeheee. I stopped the nausea almost all together already. With Walker is was a 40 week thing. I have bouts about once a week now and usually when I overeat. So, this one must be a girl. I hated Chinese food with Walker and thus far I'm still loving it, definitely a sign of a girl, right? With Walker the smell of fish sent me gagging and even at like 35 weeks I ate some and barfed. Thus far, I still want it alot, another serious girl sign I'm sure. I am still craving ice cold drinks and food like I did with him but that is really something I do in the summer naturally. So, we will see if we are getting a girl or a boy, teeheee.
I am 10 weeks today and my next appointment is this Friday. I am having serious blood pressure issues and hope to get some answers this week. I will be having a repeat c/s and definitely planned since this makes us due on or about December 27th. Don't want no emergency's happening on Christmas Day when we are over an hour from the hospital.
On to the Toddler!
About Walker, he is awesome. The big things now are he repeats a lot of things even if you can't understand the words you can understand the syllables. He is eating wienners every day and driving me nuts because he doesn't want much else. I suspect any day now I am going to wake up and find that his pj's have turned into a bun for my baby hot dog. His biggest funny for now is "shakewwwwwww". He says it about everything he finds on the floor, the ground or on his clothes or feet. You must promptly thake the "shakewwwww" or dust it off of him. It cracks me up.
He does throw a lot of tantrums it seems but basically he is very well behaved as long as he has an audience. Stores, restaurants, parks, those are great, it is home alone and bored that sparks the most problems. Oh well, what can I say? He is a socialite!
I have no clue how many words he can say that other people would recognize but not as many as I would like but probably plenty. I'm doing my best not to dwell on it. He won't let you read to him at all, he can't sit still that long. We look at picture's but 2 pages are a time are about it for him and he is off somewhere else. I'm hoping once we are moved things will settle into a better routine. He is cutting his bottom eye teeth right now and the top two were a complete pain. He was sick with a fever and diarhea for over 3 weeks with those 2. Now, he has the fever and explosive poops and a rash...gee does it ever end. He was basically pain free with his first 12 teeth, was 4 more too much to ask for?
On to moving, we bought a double wide and should be finished with everything and ready to move this weekend....how exciting. Our own home, a permanent one...imagine that? I"m excited and shouldn't be without internet for more than a few hours. As for my TTM board, I had no clue it was even working. I was so digusted with iparenting that I had quit checking. Finally today, feeling well and bored because Walker is enjoying watching the workers work on my mom's house, I decided to check in, lo and behold, messages galore. I thank everyone for reading and posting, I am going to do better about this now that I am feeling better and moving will take some of the stress off of me, well when it is all done it will, lol.
Thanks again for reading and I'll be back soon.
Jerri Ann, Walker and the bug #2!
