It's a jungle in there

Here is my awesome new room. I've been sleeping there for a few weeks now. It's got lots of wild animals. Mommy says my old room with fish and other sea animals is now the baby's room. That's OK. I like elephants better now.

She can spot a tiny morsel of chocolate mixed in trail mix at 20 paces. That girl's good.

The Littlest Patriot

So yesterday at the neighborhood parade and picnic, Addie got a hold of a small American flag. She carried it around with her all day. I mean ALL day...in the baby pool, on the potty, while reading. It was even clutched in her hand as she took her nap.

29 weeks

I swear my belly is bigger this time around. It just has to be. However all weights, measurements and estimates line up with right where I'm supposed to be and on track with how my pregnancy with Addie developed. Maybe it is just hefting that extra weight around after a toddler that is the difference...

Turns out that I do have pregnancy induced anemia. Well THAT explains a lot about how I had been feeling. With some iron supplements my next set of bloodwork should be back to normal.

We've started to talk to Addie about the new baby. She has felt it kick in my tummy and then looked for it down my shirt. We also got her a few books about 'new baby in the house' and baby coming home'. As she is generally fascinated by babies, these have quickly become her favorite books of the week.
