Battle over the Ear Plugs

Yesterday, I decided to take Isabella into the shower with me. I put her plugs in her ears so that she wouldn't get water in them (I usually don't do this when she takes a bath). Well I get us both clean, and then I stopper up the tub and let some water collect, so that she can play. I turn off the shower. Then I take the ear plugs out of her ears. She cried, she wanted them back in. So I dried them off the best I could and put them back in her ears, and she played in the tub. It is quite funny actually, she is so loud with the plugs in her ears. Well when she was done, and it was time to pick up the ear plugs for good, you would have thought the world was ending. She was so upset. That is so not the ear plug battle I expected. Silly girl!

Doctor Appointment Update, and and Isabella Pic

This my little cheeseball in the bath tub. Whenever she sees the camera she says cheese and makes this face.

Dr. Appointment Update

It was a fairly uneventful appointment yesterday. I stepped on the scale, peed in a cup, and then the dr came and I got to listen to baby's heartbeat for all of 3 seconds and then he moved (by the way, I don't like calling the baby it, so I alternate calling the baby he and she, Tony thinks I am nuts). The baby's heartbeat is 160 bpm, which is very good. I am still down one pound from my first appointment 8 weeks ago. Which is a change I was up 6 lbs by this point in my last pregnancy, so hopefully I can keep it to 25 lbs this time, because that is what came off easy with Isabella. I have to wait until 2 appointments from now for my next ultrasound, so it looks like 8 more weeks until I get to see my peanut again, but atleast hearing the heartbeat is reasuring. Overall, I think I prefer an uneventful appointment!!

The Pursuit of Lovie

Oh what a trip to walmart yesterday. Isabella and I went and she insisted on bringing Lovie in the store with us, he goes almost everywhere she does (except daycare). Lovie is one of those little blankets with a bunny head on it. Well I shop, check out, load up the car, and head home from the store. As soon as I walk through the door I realize that Lovie didn't make the trip home with us. So I quickly unloaded the car and handed Isabella off to Tony, and left him the groceries to pick up while I got back to walmart as fast as I could. So here I am speed walking up and down the aisles of walmart, retracing my footsteps. I must have looked like a nut. But finally I breathed a huge sigh of relief when I saw him laying on the floor in the clothing section right where she threw a fit because she wanted that light up cat shirt. This is the one animal that she sleeps with everynight, what a mess if he had been lost forever. Ok if 2 years ago anyone had told me that this is what I would do for a stuffed animal, I would have told them they were lying.

On a different note, 6 days until I can take my zyrtec again, second trimester here I come!! And 3 days until my dr appoinment, I can't wait to here the peanut's heartbeat.
