Sorry, I haven't downloaded photos lately. I stole this from McKown's FB. Miranda had her Rock Star birthday party last Saturday. Straty and Amelia went, while I went to a boot camp training for Stella and Dot. Ame had a blast! She is becoming quite the singer. Her songs are very dramatic with highs and lows. She also uses her hands a lot and has started dancing to her singing, as well. Straty and I were just talking tonight about her beautiful face. Somehow she has a big scratch on her forehead and one between her eyes. Then while playing with Hazel she ate it into the ottoman. Yesterday she timbered backwards onto the tile after I turned around and she was right behind me! Not seeing her, I took her out:( Tonight she walked right into a counter and now has a little bump on her head. We think it's time to put her into a helmet. She walks without looking. She's so funny though. She's full of expression and feelings. Like when she's watching a show and the character falls or flies, she breaks out into "Uh-ohhhhhhh" and becomes very worried. Any suggestions on good sing a long dvd's?
On the other hand, Baby Hadj II is very happy in the belly. We had a big check up this week and got an A. The cervix is 50% gone, I'm 1 cm dialated and .5 cm something else. Baby is head down but no where near the birthing canal. Doc says it's no wonder why the grocery store clerk asked if I was sure I wasn't having twins. Or why everyone thinks this is a BIG baby. Baby Hadj II is residing nicely right under my ribs. She has not made any arrangements for departure. With that being said November 4th will most likely come and go. He's thinking November 9th or 10th. What the crap!!!! (as sister Krista would say) That's crap crap crap!!! (as sister Sarah would say). My feelings....well, call Missy and she'll tell it like it is:) How am I feeling? Ready, but not really ready. My ciatic nerve is killing me, so I'm on tylenol. I can't sleep in an inclined back position, because baby crushes kidneys and spine. Right side isn't even an option and left side now has a kink in the neck/shoulder. I don't enjoy sleep. My best sleep is Amelia's nap time. I washed all of the neutral baby clothes. I can't believe Ame fit in them. Well some of them. She never wore the 0-3 months, due to length. We are now having a baby shower October 24th. At first I didn't want one, but was in this silly mind set of celebrating life with Ame before baby comes. I was reminded that Baby Hadj II is a celebration as well and another great way to teach Amelia how she's going to be a big sister. She knows the baby is in mommy's belly, but the looks of this house, shows no signs of another baby joining us. On another note, Ame went potty on the toilet today! Poop and Pee:))))) I think she's ready, so we're going to give it a try. She runs in the bathroom when I tell her I have to go potty. She slams the door shut and hands you the toilet paper! Such a doll. She takes her job very seriously! If she thinks your time is up, she'll try to shove you off the toilet. She's a hoot.
BTW thanks Aunt Stella for the Peanut Butter Kiss location. A sighting was made yesterday at Wallmart. A crazed Grandma was running through the isles with a bag! We left with four bags. Well, maybe 3 and 3/4ths bags:) YUMMY
