Pictures and Ultrasound News

Talmage loves playing basketball.
Jumping on my bed when I am changing my sheets. He did this the entire time I was getting ready. He has yet to fall off. Knock on wood.
Playing in the snow. He actually realized that his snow clothes keep him dry and warm. He was laying down, climbing up, and eating the snow while I shoveled.

I need to write a few things, because I am not very good at journaling lately and so I am using my blog. I had my big ultrasound last week and it was so much fun and made it feel real. They do part of it in 3D so I got to see her cute face, legs, hands, and butt. She already reminds me of Talmage. Mainly because we had to work really hard to get a good shot of her face because her hands were up the whole time. That was true for Talmage during this ultrasound too. I did finally witness the girl parts for myself. I think I was mainly convinced but now it feels for sure. No, we don't have any names right now. Names stress us out so we only talk about it on occasion. So far we have not agreed.

I am starting to show a lot it seems. I went through my closet today and found that I have nothing that fits comfortably or is flattering (or should I say flattening) to me. All my maturnity clothes are summer stuff. I need to find some maturnity jeans that are cute, comfortable, and actually long enough. I tried a bunch on at motherhood and they were all floods. I'd also like advice on how to grow your stomach, but not your butt and arms. They seem to expand ever more each day. Can you tell cleaning out my closet didn't do me any good!

Talmage is finally well. He was congested which turned into an ear infection. He was put on an anitbiotic. Once he finished it 5 days later he was fevering again. I took him in and sure enough the ear infection was back. More antibiotics... but a few days later when he didn't seem better and continued to run a high fever I took him in yet again. The Dr. decided that the second infection was resistant to amoxicillin (which is what he was put on the first and second time) and so we got some completely different medicine and he finally slept through the night last night. I love an entire night of sleep. Truly, it's a beautiful thing. I have been wondering what I am going to do with a newborn. I have spent $80 just on co-pays this month. Hmm... didn't budget for that! Grateful to have insurance though so I feel like I can go to the dr. if needs be.

I am starting to get the forgetfullness that accompanies pregnancy. Honestly I forget things that I knew an hour ago. I don't even know how many weeks I am right now. I can't remember. Oh, well it's fun to be expecting a new little one. Especially with all of you have such cute little babies lately. We are only 4 months away. That is going to fly. I hope you are all doing well. Thanks for letting me write so much.
