<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>I'm having a hard time accepting that my sweet baby is 11 months old. How did the time go by so fast? Grant is picking up on things so quickly now that it makes the time go by even faster. I thank God all the time for blessing me with such a healthy and loving son. He couldn't be any sweeter and I'm enjoying every minute of watching him grow. Happy 11 months Grant!</b></span></div>

<b style="color: blue;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><u>Loves:</u> books, cruising around the house, Goldfish crackers, making funny faces, being held upside down, playing in the dishwasher, and helping Mommy do the chores around the house.</span></b><br />
<b style="color: blue;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></b><b style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><u>Hates:</u> eating soft food, smiling at strangers, and watching Mommy or Daddy leave to go somewhere without him.</b><br />

<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b><u>Eating:</u> Grant eats 3 oz of milk with oatmeal and fruit for breakfast, 6 oz of milk and a meat for lunch, 4 oz of milk with cereal and vegetables for supper, and 6 oz of milk before bed. He loves bananas, peaches, and oranges. He still gags a lot when I feed him certain table foods. He will eat anything that is hard and crunchy but he gags when we give him soft foods. Some of his favorites are goldfish, apples (eaten from the core), granola bars, and fresh fruit.</b></span><br />

<b style="color: blue;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><u>Sleeping:</u> He takes 3 naps a day and they are usually between an hour to two hours. His bedtime is 10:00 pm and he likes to wake up around 9:00 am. He started kicking me in the face and ribs at night so we finally bit the bullet and made him start sleeping in his own bed. The first night he woke up 3 times and we put his paci back in and let him cry some. The second night he woke up only once and we did the same thing. By the third night he woke up and cried for a minute but I never had to get up and he just fell over and went right back to sleep. I've missed cuddling with him so in the mornings when he wakes up I go and get him and I let him sleep with me for a few hours. He has been really clingy throughout this process. Some days he has wanted to take a nap in my arms and I've let him. Guess it's just mommy guilt but I've missed having him sleep with us as well. I'm very proud of him for learning to sleep alone.</span></b><br />

<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b>On the 27th we went over to Suzanne and Chad's to celebrate Emily's 2nd birthday. We cooked out and had birthday cake. Grant enjoyed playing with Emily's toys.</b></span><br />

<b><span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><u>Fun Facts:</u> There were so many changes this month so I thought I'd just list a few new things that I have seen this month:</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></b>
<br />
<b style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">*started eating cheerios and goldfish</b><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b>*loves eating my granola bar</b></span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>*speaks in jibberish at times</b></span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>*seems to be singing a song in the mornings when he's in a good mood </b></span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>*can point toward things by holding up his arms at things</b></span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>*slings his arm while doing the hot dog dance</b></span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>*wrinkles up his nose at us and snorts at times</b></span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>*fake laughs</b></span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>He has developed an awesome sense of humor. He laughs with us and will even fake laugh. He loves to make silly faces and bites down on the spoon while I'm feeding him so that I will laugh. This has been my favorite month so far! It's so exciting seeing him pick up on things so fast. I hate to think that he only has one more month until he is ONE but it's also fun watching him grow. Pretty much all signs of my little bitty baby is gone and he's turning into a true toddler. I know that I will be so sad when I have to write my next post for the 12th month so I'm gonna cherish every day until then.</b></span><br />

<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b><u>This Months Happenings:</u> We started out the month with a trip to Tiffany and Brad's for a football party. Grant got a chance to go swimming again and he loved it as usual. The next weekend we took a trip to Selma for John's wedding. Grant got to spend a lot of time with his grandparents and loved digging in all their cabinets. Jeremy also came for a visit during the month and Grant enjoyed flying around with Jeremy. </b></span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b>This month I have seen Grant growing up quite a bit. He has really gotten a sense of humor and loves to laugh with us when we are silly. He started playing peek-a-boo and covering his face with his blanket. Grant has also started getting his feelings hurt when I fuss at him. He has started biting me quite a bit and I've had to tell him "no biting" and he pokes his bottom lip out and cries. </b></span><br />

<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b>He's really been into everything this month.

<b><u><span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Fun Facts:</span></u></b><br />
<b><u><span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></u></b><span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b>*Grant loves the voices that his Daddy makes with his toy monkey and mouse. <br /><br />*He loves to play with my iPhone so I downloaded an app that he can use. He just swipes the screen and a picture uncovers. There is one picture that has two giraffes and I always say that "they are in love." So whenever that picture comes up Grant always stops and looks up at me smiling and waits for me to say it.</b></span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b>*He now takes a bath in the tub without the duck. He loves the extra room to move around and loves to splash water everywhere.</b></span><br />

<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>*Grant can walk around pushing his toy. It won't be long until he is walking by himself.</b></span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>*His favorite spot is in the bouncy seat by the window. He HATED that bouncy seat as a little baby so I guess now I'm getting my monies worth out of it. </b></span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b><br /></b></span>
<b style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">*Grant has an obsession with my touch lamp by my bed. I made the mistake of letting him see how it works and now as soon as he picks his head up in the morning he is standing up trying to get across me to the lamp. He doesn't take "no" for an answer either. It's funny because he thinks all lamps are touch lamps and tries to get the lamps at his grandmothers to turn on by touching it.</b><br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>*Grant "helps" me do the laundry. He loves watching me load and unload the washing machine and dryer. Then he unfolds everything that I have folded up. It keeps him occupied though. :)</b></span><br />

He knows what the following words mean: Mickey Mouse, milk, bath, night night, Puff, yogurt, no no, bye bye, Elmo, check the mail, monkey, duck, and book. He understands a lot but he isn't very vocal. We have been practicing finding the monkey's nose and ears. When he's in the mood for it he will point to the correct one when you ask him. He still loves taking a bath but the big highlight of it all is that the duck makes a quacking noise. He lights up when you make the duck quack. We have been taking him for a walk on cooler nights and he really enjoys getting out. He enjoys playing under the coffee table and gets stuck under there at times. </b><br />

He is so happy that he is able to go where he wants to go now. He's always moving about and is into everything that he isn't suppose to be in to. I've had to say "no, no" so much this past month that he probably thinks that's his name. He thinks it's funny when I say it and he just laughs or smiles at me. I have to go and get him and redirect him a lot. </b></span></div>

He also enjoys eating Puffs, Yogurt melts, Mum Mums, and anything that I'm eating. He's had a taste of popsicles and he's a big fan. He doesn't seem to care for juice but he will drink water quite well from my cup. He's not so sure about a sippy cup just yet. </span></b></div>

It works for us since Josh doesn't leave for work until 9. He's still sleeping in our bed but he always starts the night out in his crib. He's still taking naps every 2 hours and it can be from 30 mins-2 hours. Usually it's around an hour. When we put him in the crib he will cry for 5 minutes and then we go back in and put him back down and he goes right to sleep.

<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b><u>This Months Happenings:</u> At the beginning of the month we went to Selma for Uncle Bob's and Aunt Mary's 50th Wedding Anniversary. It was held at Westwood Baptist and it was soooo HOT!!! Grant was irritable and cried every time some one tried to hold him. I can't really blame him since he was sleepy, it was hot, and he was being pasted from person to person. For the 4th of July we went over to Brad and Tiffany's to swim and cook out. Grant had the best time in the pool and he just splashed and splashed. Grant and I also took a trip to Selma to see my parents. When we got there he was fine, but after his nap he woke up with a really high fever. I watched him throughout the night and then left early the next morning to take him back to Trussville to the doctor. He ended up having Hand, Foot, and Mouth disease. It was AWFUL! He had ulcers in his throat and he was unable to eat and he couldn't even swallow his saliva. He just drooled everywhere. He was so pitiful. It took a lot of time to get fully over this and I hope he never gets it again.</b></span></div>

<b style="color: blue;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><u>Sleeping:</u> Since he is so mobile it is hard to get him to lay down and go to sleep right away. He wants to crawl all over our bed and play. If he's in his crib he just stands up and cries. We let him stand there and cry for about 5 minutes and then we go back in there and lay him back down and put his paci in. That's usually all it takes. Some days he takes cat naps and other days he will sleep for a few hours.</span></b><br />

<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b><u>This Month's Happenings:</u> This was a busy month for all of us. Grant started cutting his first tooth on June 10th. He was quite grumpy throughout the month because of it. Our wedding anniversary was this month so my parents came over and let Josh and I have a night out. We booked a room at the Winfrey Hotel and went to the comedy club and out to eat. It was a nice night but by the next day I was missing my boy!!! He did really well staying with my parents. I don't think mom got much sleep but she kept him entertained and fed and gave him lots of loving. Grant also got to meet Jeremy when he came and spent a couple of nights with us.</b></span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b>This month has been a big adjustment for me. He learned how to pull up in the bed and pretty much anything else he could get his hands on. We even had to lower his bed already. Grant wants to stand up ALL day and I'm having to be right there with him to make sure that he won't fall down. I can't even step into the kitchen or he'll be standing up at the couch crying when I walk back in the room. He's usually a pretty happy guy but this month his teething pain has made him so cranky and hard to please. He looks adorable with his new tooth though! It's also been VERY hot this month so we haven't been able to get out as much as I would have liked. I think he gets bored if he doesn't get out of the house every couple of days. </b></span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b>I got a new iPad for my anniversary and Grant is fascinated by it. I can't get it out while he's around or he will attack me. Basically he wants every piece of technology in our house and doesn't seem to care a thing about his toys. He's learned how to bang his hand on things and will bang it on his high chair or the coffee table. He thinks he's big stuff. I know it's only a matter of months and he will be walking so I'm trying to prepare myself for the chaos.</b></span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b>He's getting good at understanding what we are saying to him. If I ask him if he is ready to eat he will look me in the eyes and cry. He is also learning what "no no" means. He has started reaching for my food and drink so I've been letting him have a few tastes of things that are soft or things he can suck on.</b></span><br />

It's been half a year and our lives have changed so much. I can hardly remember what life was like before Grant was here. He brings us so much joy, entertainment, and love. My only wish is that I could slow down time because he is growing up so fast. Before I know it he will be walking and talking. </b></span><br />

<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b><u>This Months Happenings:</u> At the beginning of May we went on our first beach trip. We went with Lee, Kari, and Caroline Busby. Grant loved the sand and didn't mind being covered in it. He also loved the pool. The pool was freezing cold but he didn't seem to mind it. He was intrigued by the water. Although he liked the pool, he did not like the ocean as much. He enjoyed watching the waves crash but he didn't like them crashing on his feet. That Sunday was my first Mother's Day and we went out to eat in Foley and then spent the day traveling back home. At the end of the month we traveled to Mobile so Josh could attend Patrick's bachelor party. Grant did really well and enjoyed being around all the people. Throughout the month Grant hit a lot of milestones. He started rolling from back to front and once he started there was no holding him back. He was rolling everywhere. He also started Army crawling and was into everything. If I wanted to see him crawl all I would have to do is stick a laptop down in front of him and he would scoot over there as fast as lightening. </b></span><br />

I've only been feeding him cereal once a day but now I'm gonna start feeding him twice a day and then we will try some fruits and vegetables.

Grant and I made a trip to Selma to stay with my parents. On the day we left, he came down with a bad sounding cough. The next day it sounded worse so my mom rode back to Trussville with me to take him to the doctor. The doctor said he had a red throat but it wasn't strep so she said it was a virus that would just have to run it's course. We gave him Tylenol and ran the humidifier for weeks and he finally got better. We took Grant to Millbrook to my Uncle Jimmy's birthday party. None of my aunts and uncles had ever gotten to see him so it was wonderful for them all to be able to see him there. Uncle Jimmy, Aunt Beverly, Chris, Amanda, Avery Grace, Amanda, Brian, Braxton, Mason, Cullen, mom, dad, Uncle Ferma, Aunt Joan, Uncle Bob, Aunt Mary, Aunt Blanche, and Uncle Choc were at the party. Grant was an angel while we were there. They passed him around from person to person and he didn't cry one tear the whole trip. He loved looking around at all the people. He was so tired that Josh just cradled him and he fell right to sleep. I enjoyed the day so much and I'm glad we made the trip.</b></span><br />

<b><u><span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></u></b><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b>*Grant wants everything to go in his mouth. He gets so frustrated when he can't get my arm or a toy in there. The funny thing is that when he does put something in his mouth he makes the funniest face like it tastes horrible. </b></span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b><br />
</b></span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b>*He is fascinated by the TV. If it's on you can't get him to stop watching it. He will turn his head every which a way to see it.<br />
<br />
*If we pat his arms or legs really fast he will laugh out loud. People think we are crazy doing all the things we do to make him laugh.</b></span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b><br />
</b></span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b>*When I sing songs with Grant he opens his mouth like he wants to sing along.</b></span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b><br />
</b></span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b>*When he starts crying and making sounds I swear it sounds like he is saying momma.</b></span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b><br />
</b></span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b>*We got him a Bumbo seat and he sat up in it great but after 5 minutes he would get mad and arch his back to get out of it. I was scared that he would flip backwards. I took it back and got him an Exersaucer. He likes it but gets really mad because he can't get the toys in his mouth yet.</b></span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b><br />
</b></span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b>*He mainly "talks" when he is fussy. I told the doctor that he never seems to coo happily and Dr. Barron said it may just be his disposition. Haha! I knew I had a grump on my hands. Guess he takes after his mom and dad.</b></span><br />

</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">What an amazing feeling to see the words "pregnant" on a little stick. I wanted to document all that I can remember about that day and I thought that today would be the perfect day to do that.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Josh and I had been trying to get pregnant since August. Some months we focused more on it than others. Since it had been six months trying, I made an appointment to see a new OBGyn doctor in Birmingham to discuss things. Dr. Garrard in Montgomery had recommended Dr. Sharp since they were friends and went to college together. When I met with Dr. Sharp he was really laid back and was very optimistic that we weren't gonna have any trouble getting pregnant but it may just take a little more time. He suggested several things to do before he would recommend fertility drugs. First he wanted me to have a procedure to make sure that my fallopian tubes were both open. They were and he said that everything looked good. He also said that sometimes people get pregnant soon after this procedure because he flushes out the tubes and makes it an easier passage. The next few things he wanted me to do was to get Josh to submit a sample (haha!) and get my progesterone levels tests. I was scheduled to have the progesterone test done in February but I got the flu and had to put it off until March. I finally got the test done during Spring Break in March and they called to tell me that everything was ok and that I should make an appointment to see Dr. Sharp again. I figured that the next step would be the fertility drugs. Little did I know that the next week all my dreams would come true.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The whole next week I waited for my period to come. I was usually never late and I was having all the symptoms that my period was about to start. I had already taken a pregnancy test and it was negative so I KNEW I was NOT pregnant. I kept telling my coworkers that I was ill and ready for my period to just come on already. Glenda kept telling me that maybe I was pregnant and I told her that I wasn't cause I had already tested and it was negative. She said it was too soon. Well fast forward to Thursday night...Josh was in Cullman practicing for a talent show that he was in the following night and so I was home alone bored and ill. I decided to take a shower and then thought maybe I would just do a test one more time. I knew that it wasn't a good idea to test at night since you may not get as good of a reading but I did it anyways. I took the test, undressed, and got ready to get in the shower. I took a peek at the test before getting in and thought maybe I saw a slight red line. I believe that I took another one and got the same thing. I threw my clothes back on an decided that I wanted a pregnancy test that either said "pregnant" or not pregnant." So off to Target I went. When I got back I took the test and lo and behold it said "pregnant." I was so shocked! I cried, thanked God, and literally just stood there in disbelief.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The hardest part was that Josh wasn't home and I didn't have anyone to tell. I didn't want to tell my mom before Josh and I didn't want to tell Josh over the phone so all I could do was wait. And wait I did...until 9:00 p.m! Josh had picked us up some supper and was fussing about his day. He had gotten some bad news about his cousin, had a horrible day, and then a long practice to top it off. So I said, "want some more crazy news?" I handed him the stick and he was shocked. It was so surreal to us both. We were both grinning from ear to ear. We tried for months to get pregnant and that day...that Thursday night...our lives changed forever!</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Fast forward one year and we are the proudest parents we could be. Little did we know how much our lives would be changed after getting that positive on the pregnancy test. Looking back I'm still amazed at the creation of life. God can do some amazing things! We have Grant Chappelle to remind of us that everyday. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />

</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I'm a pessimistic person and I was constantly afraid that I would have a miscarriage or that something would be wrong with the baby. A couple of weeks after finding out I was pregnant I started cramping really bad. I called my nurse and she suggested that I come in for an ultrasound. Dr. Sharp wasn't in that afternoon so I had to see Dr. Stone. When my ultrasound was done the technician did not see a heartbeat or fetal pole. She saw the sack but the rest should have been there considering how many weeks pregnant I was. She sent me to talk to Dr. Stone and he basically said that I could just have an empty sack or I'm earlier than I thought. Since I knew the exact day that I got pregnant it was pretty obvious that our dates couldn't be wrong. I was devastated with that news. They tested my hCG levels and he said Dr. Sharp would call me the next day with the results. Dr. Sharp called and said that my levels looked good and that it would be best to wait a week and do another ultrasound then. Wait a week? I didn't know if I could wait that long. I just had a really bad feeling about it all and had made up my mind that I was probably going to get bad news the following week. I started grieving immediately and was preparing myself for the bad news to come. Josh was a lot more optimistic and couldn't understand why I wouldn't just wait and see.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">One week later we went in for the ultrasound and she picked up the heartbeat right away! That's a sound and a moment I will never forget. She said he was measuring a half a week earlier than we predicted and that is why I was unable to see the heartbeat the week before. Now, at night, I love to lay next to Grant and just listen to that little heartbeat. He truly has made the happiest I have ever been. March 24, 2011 was a date that I always want to remember...the date where I found out I would be a mother! </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

Well...we've made it and I have to say that they were so right. I love this age! He is smiling and happy and seems to be on a routine that works for us all. I love him tremendously, but it just keeps getting stronger. I can tear up in a second thinking about how much I love Grant. Josh made a video of me and Grant "chatting" the other night and I have watched it over and over again tearing up each time I see it. It's amazing to have a baby that loves you despite your flaws and gives you that big smile that warms your heart when you are having a rough day. Here are a few highlights from the month:</b></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhX7wuKE0-VKxLtciI6hYB7HmR4sJJOn1G_nSRc1wbyD4ihZ4YfCbAffdkGa0fkO62SLpBReCPEE90oQoXk_tXx_Ca5toMb9v8ZUwWeT-4syvFXfOhH-HQsREftdxS-inSyw0gVqR15S9hG/s1600/Picnik+collage.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="292" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhX7wuKE0-VKxLtciI6hYB7HmR4sJJOn1G_nSRc1wbyD4ihZ4YfCbAffdkGa0fkO62SLpBReCPEE90oQoXk_tXx_Ca5toMb9v8ZUwWeT-4syvFXfOhH-HQsREftdxS-inSyw0gVqR15S9hG/s640/Picnik+collage.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b><br />
</b></span><br />
<b style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><u>Loves:</u> Grant loves his activity mat, paci, baths, playing with his Daddy, snuggling into mommy's arms to sleep, sleeping with his nose up against my pillow, being read to, and watching TV (not that we allow it but if it's on you can bet he strains his neck to see it).</b><br />
<div><span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b> </b></span></div><div><span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b><u>Hates:</u> Grant doesn't like riding on long trips or spending too much time in his carseat. He also hates being left alone, waiting to eat, having the lights on, and tummy time. </b></span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b><u><br />
</u></b></span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b><u>Eating:</u> He eats every three hours and is drinking 5 oz in each bottle. He is 100% on formula and it's been working out well. Occasionally we have some issues with spit up but it's not a daily problem and it doesn't seem to bother him at all. It's so funny when he stops eating and then I put the bottle back in his mouth and he's expecting it to be his paci. He literally gags and makes the funniest face. </b></span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b><br />
</b></span></div><div><span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b><u>Sleeping:</u> During the day he takes a nap after each feeding for about 1 1/2 to 2 hours. He will only nap in my arms or in the swing. I would love for him to nap in his crib but so far it hasn't worked out. If I rock him to sleep and put him in the crib he will wake up in 30 minutes and I have trouble getting him back to sleep. I know that I'm gonna have to keep working on it because it won't be long before he won't be able to fit in the swing to sleep and I know he will be too heavy to hold the entire nap. At night he will sleep anywhere from 5 to 8 hours. I have been swaddling him which has helped him to sleep longer. It's been so nice getting those extra hours of sleep each night. I am still looking forward to the day when he is sleeping 8 hours (or more) EVERY night! He is still sleeping with us since I have to put his paci back in all night long. If I don't put it in when he starts stirring he wakes up completely. It doesn't really bother the two of us to have him in our bed but I know we would all probably sleep better if he were in his own bed.</b></span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b><br />
</b></span></div><div><span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b><u>Clothes:</u> He is mainly wearing 3 month clothing but can still fit into some 0-3 months. Just this week he had outgrown several 0-3 outfits and I've been pulling out the 3-6 month clothes. He has outgrown them mostly because of his length. We just got finished with all the size 1 diapers so he is wearing size 2 now. These seem to fit so much better and I wish I had moved him up sooner.</b></span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b><br />
</b></span></div><div><span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b><u>Firsts: </u> Grant has found his hands and is starting to put them in his mouth all the time. He is grabbing toys and loves to stand up on his feet. He isn't as crazy about sitting up but he is getting better about it. He has pretty good head control and loves to look around at things. When he can't get his head steady we say that he is "be bopping" it. We are constantly talking to him and telling him what we are doing each step of the way. When we are going to fix his bottle we tell him that it's coming and he seems to calm down quite a bit. I think he had gained a lot of trust in us that we are going to get him what he needs. He isn't as fussy and is giving us lots of smiles. He also has been laughing some when I make certain noises or you push his feet to his mouth. It's the cutest thing! He loves to talk (coo) at us and is especially talkative at night right before bed. I think he's gonna be a night owl like me. I've been able to get more done around the house because he will sit in his bouncy seat and just watch me as I'm doing chores. </b></span></div><div><span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b><br />
</b></span></div><div><span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b><u>This Months Happenings:</u> Grant and I made a trip to Selma since the grandparents haven't seen him in a while. Josh also went on a business trip to Virginia and so my mom came and stayed with us to help me out. She ended up with a really bad cold and didn't feel very well but it was nice to have some company while Josh was gone. We put together a puzzle, made cookies, and took Grant out shopping several days. We really haven't taken Grant out so much since RSV is going around so much. I don't want him to get sick. Hopefully it will warm up soon and we can get out a lot more.</b></span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b><br />
</b></span></div><div><b><u><span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Fun Facts:</span></u></b><br />
<b><u><span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></u></b><br />
<b><span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">*It's impossible to get a good smiling picture of Grant. As soon as he sees the camera, iphone, or video camera he freezes. He does the same thing when he sees new people for the first time. He just opens his eyes really big and checks everything out. </span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">*It's so neat to watch him develop right before my eyes. I'm dying to hear him laugh out loud a bunch. I'm also excited about the day he can wrap his arms around my neck. Although I can't wait for these things, I'm totally not trying to rush him.</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">*I'm enjoying my days at home with Grant. When I lost my job I was heartbroken but now I feel like it was such a blessing. He is such a mommy's boy that I couldn't imagine sending him to daycare right now. I'd love to stay at home with him until he starts school but I know that probably won't happen. So for now I'm soaking up all I can with him...baby smells, smiles, and quiet times together.</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">*We both love to curl up together and take a nap. </span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">*When I was growing up my mother played with my hair to comfort me. Grant seems to love to have his head rubbed too. I love it! </span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">*When I put his paci back in his mouth he will grab my hand with both arms and won't let go. I'll leave my hand on his face and he closes his eyes and soaks it all in. </span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">*He'll let me poke and prod at him as long as he's in my lap. He will curl up under my armpit and bury his nose to go to sleep.</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">*Lately he fusses himself to sleep.</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">*He will let me kiss him for as long as I want. He never fusses or pushes me away. Sometime when I kiss his cheeks he will smile each time I do it. The boy HAS to know that he is loved.</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">*Thank goodness for a swing that has a plug. If we had to buy batteries for this swing it would cost a fortune. He swings in it for HOURS.</span></b><br />

I want to be able to enjoy my time with him instead of having to pump and wash supplies all day. If I could have breastfed him it would have been different and I would have done it for much longer.

</span></u></b></div><div><b style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">*When Dr. Barron was checking Grant's head control he was talking about how rolling over was a 4 month milestone and Grant rolled over right then! Dr. Barron said we need to call Nick Saban.</b><br />

</b></span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b>*Grant has been cooing a lot. On Josh's birthday I was talking to Grant and telling him that Daddy is old. I really stressed the ooo part of the sound in old. I made the noise a bunch of times and Grant did it too. Later that night I was changing him and doing it again while Josh was in there and I said "Grant, what is Daddy? He's ooooold." I said it again and Grant said ooold. It was the cutest thing. Josh was so shocked and asked me how I got him to say that. I got lucky!</b></span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b><br />
</b></span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b>*We decked Grant out in all the Alabama stuff that he had for the National Championship game. He looked adorable. He slept through the whole game so we had to silently cheer to celebrate. We believe that he was our good luck charm.</b></span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b><br />

<span style="color: blue;"><br />
</span><br />

<span style="color: blue;"><br />

<span style="color: blue;"><u>Fun Facts:</u></span><br />
<span style="color: blue;"><u><br />
</u></span><br />
<span style="color: blue;">*Grant loves to fuss at us with his paci in his mouth. It always makes me laugh cause it seems like he is telling us off.</span><br />
<span style="color: blue;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="color: blue;">*I have started singing some songs to Grant each day. He loves "The Wheels on the Bus" and "Head, Shoulders, Knees, and Toes."</span><br />
<span style="color: blue;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="color: blue;">*We have been reading books to him as well. He listens patiently and will look at the pictures. I sure hope he will love to read when he gets older.</span><br />
<span style="color: blue;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="color: blue;">*Grant has a red birthmark on the back of his head. </span><br />

She told us she might come but didn't call us the day before and showed up that morning. Our house was a wreck but we were very thankful that she came for a visit. There was also a tornado that came through the Clay/Trussville area this week. </b></span><br />

</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #cc0000;"><u>Loves:</u> Have I mentioned that he loves his paci? He also loves getting his diaper changed, his swing, and being held all day.</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #cc0000;"><u><br />
</u></span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #cc0000;"><u>Eating:</u> </span></b><b><span style="color: #cc0000;">He is currently eating 4 oz of breast milk. He is still eating every 3 hours.</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #cc0000;"><br />
</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #cc0000;"><u>Sleeping:</u> I'm one of those horrible parents that has allowed my baby to sleep in the bed with us. I know, I know! Most people give it the name "co-sleeping" to make it sound a little better. It got to the point where Grant would not sleep in his bassinet very long because he was hitting the sides with his arms and waking himself up. Then I was having to put the paci back in his mouth all night and I got ZERO sleep. When I would put him in the bed beside me he would fall right asleep and the paci would fall out of his mouth and he never wanted it back in. This was heaven to me since I was finally able to get a little sleep again. I feel horrible about it and I know that I will have a time getting him out of the bed with us but the damage has been done now. I don't know who it will be harder for when it's time for him to sleep in his crib. I think I love having him there as much as he loves it.</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #cc0000;"><br />
</span></b><br />
<span style="color: #cc0000;"><b><u>Clothes:</u> He is still wearing newborn clothes but it won't be long before he is out of them. He is wearing size 1 diapers.</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #cc0000;"><b><br />
</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #cc0000;"><b><u>Firsts:</u> He experienced his first Alabama football game. Of course this wasn't just any game. It was the National Championship Game. We put on all his Alabama garb and he looked so cute. He slept through the game and we had to cheer silently but we sure did enjoy it. I consider him to be our good luck charm! He actually rolled over for the first time on January 4th. He was on his activity mat and rolled over several times from his stomach to his back. On January 7th he had his first shopping trip to Lowe's and Office Depot. We had to pick up a drill and a desk for Josh. Grant slept the whole time we were in Lowe's but started to get fussy by the time we made it to Office Depot. On January 8th he smiled at me for the first time. It was the cutest, gummiest smile I have ever seen. It melted my heart!</b></span><br />

He eats about 3 oz every 2 1/2 to 3 hours. Since he was killing me while breastfeeding I have been pumping all day so he can still have breast milk. It's a big commitment but it's better than quitting altogether. I was so sore and very unhappy and therefore it was rubbing off on him. He was crying and I was crying. I figure that I would pump for as long as I can. Once I made this decision I noticed a great deal of relief and I stopped breaking down as much. Grant was having some stomach pains so I decided to eliminate milk from my diet. He seems to have done much better after that.</b></span></div><div style="line-height: 18px; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #38761d; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />

Josh went back to work so I've been trying to do all his feedings and make sure that he is quiet and doesn't disturb his dad too much. That causes me some stress. LOL! That is one reason why he got his paci back. I gave it back one night while trying to keep him from crying so loud. Once he got the paci back he didn't want to give it up again. He still wakes up crying if the paci falls out of his mouth so I try to remove it when he is in a deep sleep so he doesn't notice it. When I feed him at night I try not to talk to him and then I snuggle up with him so that he will go right back to sleep. He usually sleeps a couple of hours until the next feeding.</b></span></div><div style="line-height: 18px; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgb2PQ4uGuN_YCqT8vyt8Vt_GjLHjNOH3Jsl8EAckB3OiLW1NZcNZ71szp_RLeZfgFnBvu4LTp7oT54kTb98P6puMXG380EcUse4fZm5glmXbB80Sv0mgEW8I4m8ElyHlliyTsNxf7G6bXQ/s1600/149.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgb2PQ4uGuN_YCqT8vyt8Vt_GjLHjNOH3Jsl8EAckB3OiLW1NZcNZ71szp_RLeZfgFnBvu4LTp7oT54kTb98P6puMXG380EcUse4fZm5glmXbB80Sv0mgEW8I4m8ElyHlliyTsNxf7G6bXQ/s400/149.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #38761d; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">See how mad I can get! </span></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #38761d; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />

She cooked us a yummy meatloaf and made sure we were fed. I had a doctor's appointment one morning so she watched Grant. I got to run a few errands afterwards.

<b style="color: #38761d; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Friday we were suppose to travel to Selma to spend the night. After half way packing we decided that we weren't ready for an overnight trip just yet. We waited until Saturday morning and left. Grant got to meet my brothers and sister and their families. He was passed around like a hot potato and loved every minute of it. We figured he wouldn't sleep a wink that night but he had a great night. Here are a few pictures from our visit.</b><br />

<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #38761d; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">What a difference a week can make! One week ago I was sleeping 9 hours a day and wondering just what motherhood had in store for me. I knew that my life was about to change but didn't know how it would feel to be a mother and to finally know that little life inside me that had been growing for 9 months. What a joy motherhood is! It's been the hardest but most rewarding week of my life. There is nothing like holding your baby boy and knowing that he's all yours. </span></b></div><div style="line-height: 18px; text-align: left;"><b><u><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #38761d; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />

He has had a hard time latching on and gets really mad if he doesn't get fed as quickly as he would like. Mommy has been frustrated that he isn't breast feeding like she would like and sometimes feels like a failure. I'm not gonna give up on it though. Sometimes he will breast feed without any problems which gives me some hope that he can do it. I know that having to bottle feed him formula and having a paci has caused some nipple confusion for him.</span></div><div style="line-height: 18px; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #38761d; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />

He wakes up, gets a diaper change, and then we feed him. Soon after that he falls right back to sleep. Right now he is sleeping between 2 1/2 to 3 hours at a time. Some times we have to wake him up to feed. He has had a little trouble sleeping at night because his paci keeps falling out and I have to put it back in over and over again. This has caused us both to be frustrated. We are thinking about trying to wean him off the paci so that we all get more sleep at night. </span></div><div style="line-height: 18px; text-align: center;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #38761d; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />

We were thankful that the doctor ordered a home therapy where he could lay in a bili bed at home instead of staying at the hospital. I was terribly upset to find out that he would have to stay in the bed all day and night except for feedings but I knew it was for the best. The first night we got home Grant started in the bili bed and seemed to be doing well until about midnight. When we woke him up to feed at midnight he really wouldn't wake up and was very unresponsive. We panicked and called the doctor's office and got a hold of the doctor on call. She walked us through some things to do to wake him up and some exercises to see that he was ok. After rubbing a wet wash cloth over his head and making him really mad he woke up and fed for us. The following day a nurse came out and tested his bilirubin level and we found out that it had gone down from 14.8 to 11 which was great news. We were told that he could get off the bili bed the following day. Saturday Lauren and her boyfriend came for a visit and Grant enjoyed being held for hours. Grant had his first visit with Dr. Barron. He got a great report. When he was born he weighed 6 lbs and 2 oz and when we left the hospital he weighed 5 lbs 14 oz. At his first appointment he was back up to 6 lbs 4 oz. Dr. Barron says that is great!</span></div><div style="line-height: 18px; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #38761d; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />

<b>Symptoms: </b>Cramps, heartburn, restless legs, pelvic pain, back pain, and tendinitis in my wrist.<br />
<br />
<b>Movement: </b>He hasn't been moving as much this week. I've been a little worried and stressed out about it and I brought it up to the doctor at my doctor's visit. He ordered a bio physical profile and Grant was sleeping most of the time. The doctor wasn't satisfied so he sent me straight over to the hospital to have him monitored for a couple of hours. I hadn't eating all day and was starving and you could tell that it was affecting the baby as well. After watching the monitor for hours they said he was doing fine and that I needed to go get something to eat.</span></span></div></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 18px;"><br />

Dr. Sharp decided that I would go into the hospital on Sunday night and get a Cytotec induction. He said that he hoped it would thin out my cervix. He said that if it didn't work then he would send me back home and he would check me again on Wednesday and induce on Thursday. I'm really hoping that it works cause I would hate to have to go back home after getting my hopes up.</span></span></span></span></div></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 18px;"><br />

It has really kept me calm knowing that we are moving forward. I so hope that I will be meeting Grant on Monday. I'm looking forward to adding a member to our family but also a little sad that it won't just be the two of us anymore. I have relished the time I've spent talking with Josh lately. I want to cherish this time together.</span></span></span></span></div></div>Jennifer Chappellehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17390945271846938932noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-992448663647209281.post-52822624190337304112011-11-15T18:30:00.000-08:002011-11-15T18:30:23.919-08:00Week 38<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 18px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b>Today:</b> 38 Weeks<br />

This week I hadn't made any change. I was <strike>a little</strike> very disappointed but at least there is an end in sight. Josh has been taking great care of me and I know he will be a great dad. He got Modern Warfare 3 and has been playing it all week. I'm being patient since I know he won't have much time to play it once Grant gets here. I really enjoyed my visit with my mom a couple of weeks ago. We went shopping, put a puzzle together, and talked for hours. I really hate it that we live 2 hours away from each other.</span></span></span></span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 18px;"><br />

<br />
<b>Today:</b> 33 Weeks<br />
<br />
<b>Baby Size:</b> According to my sources the baby is the size of a pineapple. He should weigh about 4 pounds and is 17 inches from crown to toe.<br />
<br />
<img alt="External Image" src="http://assets.babycenter.com/ims/2007/10oct/20071004/33-pineapple.jpg?" /><br />
<br />
<b>Weight Gain:</b> At my 32 week appointment I was +20 pounds.<br />
<br />
<b>Maternity Clothes: </b>Yes!<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Sleep:</b> About the same and I'm still having terrible pain moving from side to side at night.<br />
<br />
<b>Symptoms: </b>Let's see...heartburn, restless legs, pain in pelvis area, carpal tunnel in my right wrist, and<br />
swelling in my hands.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Movement: </b>I can feel him moving around quite a bit but he must be too tight to kick me anymore. His feet are way up near my ribs and he also tickles my sides.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Best Moments this Week</b>: Josh finished the baby's room and we put together his stroller. We purchased a few other needed items and it's exciting to think about how close we are. Every time I walk by and glance in his room it shocks me a little and makes me smile. Now I need to order his bed and dresser. Josh and I had a great weekend together. Josh was off on Monday so we had an extra day to spend together. He played music in Cullman on Saturday and we watched football that night. On Sunday we made a trip to Buy Buy Baby (twice) and made chili together. On Monday Josh finished the room and we went to the Galleria and to Gigi's for a cupcake. I finally got my cupcake and it was yummy but had a LOT of sugar in it.<br />
<br />
<b>Food Cravings</b>: We ate some cheesecake and a cupcake so I'd say it's been sweets of any kind.<br />
<br />
<b>What I Miss</b>: Being able to move without pain. It was HORRIBLE yesterday and made me cry a lot. If I get down I can't seem to get back up without a great deal of pain. Josh has been very helpful in coming to get me up and helping me hold my legs together so the pain isn't so bad.<br />
<br />
<b>Looking Forward To</b>: I'm really looking forward to my baby shower this weekend. I don't get to see my friends and family enough so it will be nice to get to see everyone. </span></span>Jennifer Chappellehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17390945271846938932noreply@blogger.com0
