Negotiator

Hannah is doing just wonderfully. Her new favorite pastime is negotiating. If we say we can't do one thing, she says "How about....?" something else. It's pretty funny, and it shows how much she really knows and understands.

OB appt

Everything is still going ok. I can't get enough sleep, and I am starving. The morning sickness is getting better, or more manageable. I'm not sure which. Either way, things are going ok. Coming up on 8 weeks. I have an OB appt scheduled for August 10th

Morning Sickness

The morning sickness is here in full force, and sucks twice as much this time. Unfortunately the prenatal vitamin I'm supposed to be taking makes me incredibly horribly sick. Not a good sign. I'm going to try taking some other vitamins at least until the morning sickness goes away.

Mini Muffin

Ok, so for all the details here for those who don't know. I started spotting on and off two weeks ago, and when I was still spotting, but no period on Friday of that week, I took a test, which as you can see, clearly indicates what happened :)

We only tried for 4 months this time, so that's refreshing. I'm thrilled that I don't need a whole new wardrobe of maternity clothes, and that Hannah will be a big sister.

Steven wants a boy, but I'll be thrilled with a healthy baby of either kind :)

Transition

Hannah had a review through Early Intervention yesterday. It was clear that she'd met and exceeded some of her goals for playgroup, so we readjusted those to suit what she's doing now instead of what she was doing six months ago when she started. Jennifer also talked with me about the possibility of putting her in a transition group sometime closer to the fall. A transition group would mean that I drop her at the center and I leave while she does her thing with the group leaders. Instead of staying and working with her. Of all the things to wonder about, it's more wondering if I am the one ready for this, not her. My baby's gone and grown up on me.

More talking

Hannah is talking more every day. She's starting to put two words together, and is adept at conveying what it is she wants, regardless of whether or not it's something she can have. Ice cream is a favorite word, but sometimes she'll settle for fruit. I love going places with her, and she just seems to soak it all in. She has two teeth left to finish coming in, and then she's all done for quite a while. She's such a joy to be around, I can't even say how glad I am that she's not a *typical* two year old. Maybe that's due to the language delay, or maybe it's just her personality. Only time will tell

Road Trip

We just got home from a great weekend in NJ with some friends. Hannah had a fabulous time playing and running around. And I had a fabulous time having adult conversation and eating ice cream with Laurie
