A Long One

This is from the latest sono.

This is the color version of the one on the last blog.

Color version of Caleb sleeping.

Ethan's favorite pastime...playing soccer in the dining room.

He can kick pretty high!

I guess I'll start with my Dr. appointment. I saw Dr. Dickey for the first time...loved him. Funny, last time I refused to see anyone but Dr. Finke but now I'm seeing them all since I didn't even see Dr. Finke the entire time I was in the hospital with Ethan. Anyway, he measured me and heard the heartbeat and said everything looked good with Caleb. He said my gestational diabetes test was good but I was borderline anemic. My hematocrit level was 35 (the normal range is 34-44). He said it was "acceptable" but he seemed a little concerned and said they might re-check it at the next appointment. Maybe that's one of the reasons I'm so tired all the time! I also had a re-do of my 3D sono. The first one went way better. This time he had his back to the camera so I spent the first 20 minutes trying to get him to flip around. Then he had his hand over his face. He moved that out of the way then the umbilical cord started floating across his face. I got a few pics but the first time around was definitely better.



As for Ethan, he's all better from his illness. It turns out that it wasn't strep. On day 7 of the antibiotics he got a bad rash from head to toe, got sent home from preschool, and had to go to the doctor. It turns out that he is allergic to Amoxicillin. We were wondering if he was allergic the last time he was on it but now we know for sure. I'm just glad he is better and I don't have to give him meds all the time!



I turned 30 weeks today and am freaking out that I have done nothing to get ready for this new baby! I registered at Babies R Us this week and will try to register at Target soon. Maybe I can do it online. I finally ordered Caleb's bedding from Pottery Barn Kids today. Hopefully it will be in by the end of next week. I cleaned out the nursery tonight and removed all of Ethan's old nursery stuff off of the walls. It's so empty in there. It kind of made me sad seeing all of his baby stuff finally gone. My baby's all grown up!
