Lots of Things

Yesterday, I went to my ob appointment, and met my new doctor. I can officially say, "I really like him." He has a good humor, he laughs and gets excited about babies, and actually sits with you and talks with you. I never had that with my last doctor. Before, my doctor would only ocassionaly come in, with my file in his hand while reading it, and just answer the nurse's concern and be gone. This is much, much better!

I got to hear the baby's heart beat! It was wonderful!

I think I am having a pretty easy first trimester again (knock on wood), but I can't say I haven't felt great either. Last time, I would hit a wall around 2pm. My energy level is much better this time around except for the past few days. I am not having any food diversions this time, so far either. I am getting headaches like last time. Very rare heartburn like last time too. My biggest problem is my digestive system. I think my prenatal vitamins were the culprit, and I have just started only taking folic acid and a few tums for calcium. So far, things have improved a little bit. Like last time, I am going to bed by 9 or 10pm at the latest.

So, I started looking for some books on raising two children under the age of three. I found one on Amazon that was perfect- except for the price tag! It was $67.00! No joke! It must be a book that is out of print. I will see if they have it at the library because there is no way I would pay that for a book. We found some books, and I look forward to getting them. We also got Aiden a few books about becoming a big brother. It will be interesting to see how much he really understands and how he transitions.

Right now, he is so much fun but so hard too. He won't sit in the tub, and he is hitting, biting and pinching. Where do kids learn these things? Most of time when he is being rough, it is when he is so tired he doesn't know what to do with himself or when he can't communicate something. He still isn't talking except for the occasional dada and sit, but he is signing a lot more.

He is signing:
Hat
Dad
Horse
Cat
Eat
More
Milk
Signing Time
Dog
Stop
All Done
Rain

And I am sure I missing some.
