Update...

Well, little Miss Samantha had her 4 month well baby check up today. She is weighing in at 14 lbs. 11 oz. and is 24.75" long. She is at the 75th percentile for both height and weight. The doctor says that she is way ahead on her motor skills. I knew that she was a smart baby. So, she has been rolling over here and there for a week or so, but yesterday, she mastered it. She is also a little scooter. Jer can't leave her alone in the floor for any length of time. Yesterday he sat her down on her blanket, ran to throw some laundry in the wash, came back and she was half way across the living room! That was on her back...wait until she starts crawling.

Me...well, the dr. did a blood draw on me for water retention, fatigue, and extreme muscle tiredness that I have been having lately. He is going to check my thyroid and I actually have an appt. to go over the results with him next week. Hopefully, this is nothing serious and will be easy to fix. I need to get it taken care of so I can get started on some kind of exercise regimen.

That is about it...I hope that all of my IPP girls know that I am thinking about them! Love ya girls!!!!

We're back...

And we had a great time. Time goes by way too fast when you are visiting family. Samantha was great on the plane. Slept the whole flight there and all but the first 20 mins on the flight home! I am so proud. She made her great great grandmother VERY happy!

Hope this finds everyone doing well.

Vacation...

Well, we are leaving bright and early tomorrow morning! I am excited to go, but most of you know how I feel about flying. I have a feeling that the baby will do better than me.

Speaking of babies...

Congrats Liz and Ivan!!!!!!

Talk about some great news! It is the best that I have heard all day!!! I am so happy for ya'll!!!!

Check out the Blue Planet pics. These are really pretty and just wanted to share them with you.

So, anyway, we are headed out to Texas in the morning and I am so nervous. I really hate to fly anymore, but I have to keep reminding myself of what awaits us at the other end...my 94 year old great grandmother that can't wait to see the baby! It is going to be one "Happy Mother's Day!"

Well, I have a ton to take care of here at work, so I had better hop to it since I will be gone for a few days. I wish everyone well....take care and have a nice weekend!

Not much...

Samantha is doing much better. She is over her stomach bug. She still throws up every now and then, but it is much better. We think that she has a couple of teeth coming in. They aren't in the front, like everything you read says that they should be. They don't seem to bother her, so I am just going to wait and see what happens.

We took a long weekend to Buffalo for Jer to go turkey hunting with his dad and brother. We had a nice time. We drove through the states and it took us about 7 hours on the way there and about 6 1/2 on the way back. Samantha did so good! I hope she does that good with out trip to TX this Friday!

Well, I am so tired of being fat...so I ordered a pilates dvd on ebay today. I need something else to try. Since the pg, I am having knee and joint pains like you wouldn't believe. My muscles seem to get tired quicker...I even notice it right now while typing or when I am writing something. I feel so disgusting and I am tired of being in pain.

Anyway, here is a new pic of Samantha. Actually 2...same pic, only one I was playing around and edited with PSP. She is getting so big!!!!

Here is the edited pic:


And the pic...


Take care!
