Where's Waldo?

Margaret's grandparents have been traveling so much the last several months it is hard to keep up with them! Not to mention explaining it to a little one when she asks about them nonstop!!

Margaret was so excited one day

because she received a postcard from Gigi and Pops. She carried it with her everywhere! Now if we can just get them and keep them home for the arrival of her brother/sister ;)

Full Term!

Last week I reached 37 weeks. Heartbeat was 140-145 and not much progress :(

(50% effaced)

38 Weeks and counting. Still not much progress; which I am shocked due to the way I feel and the nonstop lifestyle of taking care of an 18 month old. Definitely different from when I was pregnant with Margaret and could relax.

18 Month Appointment!

We had a great appointment this morning with Dr Kim. She was impressed with Margaret and said she is doing things they ask about at her 2 year appointment.

Weight - 21 lbs. 14 oz. (20%)

Height - 33 in. (75-90%)

Two shots and a mild earache :(

17 months pics!

Where did this last month go?? or should I say 17 months :)

Her first school project :)

Margaret LOVES school! She associates it with babies and blocks. She does not hesitate going and walks right in.

It didn't take long for miss priss to get sick. We originally were taking the boat to the club for Labor Day weekend. Thank goodness we didn't bc we woke up to a crying baby who couldn't breath and had a fever :( These cuddly moments do not happen very often unless she wants to be picked up and says hug bc she wants something!

She luckily was back to normal in no time but spent a lot of time with blankie and Elmo that Saturday.

We have been VERY busy getting this house in order!

Margaret's big girl room is almost complete. Here is a picture of part of her room.

Napping in the playroom while the painters work in the bedroom hallway. Almost a month ago we had painters fixing a paint job gone wrong by the previous owners. Well we thought they were going to fix the latex over oil issue but they decided it was too much work so they finished what they started and left. So much for emptying out THREE closets full of stuff. We finally got our living room and dining room back to normal this past weekend!

Working on Margaret's new playroom. When we went to get our stroller from a baby store that was closing, John noticed this entertainment center they used as their design center.

Its is perfect and she loves it!

The weather seems to be getting better. Some days. After so much time inside due to heat and mosquitoes, mommy braved it and tackled the zoo.

We had a fun time but needed it to be a bit cooler!

She LOVES to cook! Another favorite at school as well!

She makes "ice" and it sure is yummy :)

Last week we had a tummy problem.

Poor thing was so exhausted that by 11AM she passed out while I was on the phone with the dr. Thank goodness we were back to our normal self mid afternoon. I enjoyed the cuddle time though.

Super Market sweep! We ran a few errands the other night and daddy let her play with this shopping cart. He was chasing her everywhere trying to get it back :)

"FOOTBALL!!" Her new favorite with daddy!

34 and 36 week appointments

Baby Brent #2 is growing and doing great!

34 week appointment went well. Baby's heartbeat was about 145.

35 weeks

Countdown is on! Appointments every week until baby arrives. Wow so much to do. Put this house back to normal, laundry, oh and most importantly figure out names :)

36 week appointment went well. Got my flu shot :( Not much progress to report. Heartbeat was about 135. I have a feeling he/she will not be early. I have mixed emotions. My body is ready but I am trying to enjoy these last few weeks with just Miss Margaret. I am beyond anxious to meet this little one but nervous.
