Baby #2

24 Weeks Pregnant

Well, I guess I forgot to make an official announcement. Baby #2 is on its way! August 21 is the due date, but since due dates are really just approximations (Only 5% of women deliver on their due date), I generally say I am due in August.

So is it a boy or a girl?!?!?!?! We don't know. We had the ultrasound, but the baby was very shy. I've heard that if its legs are together then its a girl and if its hand is down there its a boy. But Baby had both its legs together AND its hand down there, so either it this is a case of identity confusion or the baby just doesn't want us to know.

I do have ultrasound pictures, but since I don't have a scanner, you'll have to be satisfied with a generic picture.

Swiss Family Butt

We're going to live in my parent's treehouse! Well, we would if it looked as cool as this. Florida has enticed Kyle with its siren song promising warm, sunny beaches and verdant growth. So, we are moving south in June. Don't worry, we won't be destitute bums living off my parents. Kyle has a job lined up. Now my only problem is finding an ob-gyn who is VBAC friendly...

More Hat Pictures

Meghan loves this hat. It is her favorite. Actually, now that I think of it, that is probably because this is the only hat we have...

Helping Clean Up

We had finished cleaning when Dad decided his dance pad needed to be wiped up a bit since it had gotten sticky. Being the helpful person that she is, Meghan took his rag and finished up for him.

Promoted!

Promoted from Shelf Stocker to Can Stacker, that is. I was making dinner listening to Meghan play with the cans as usual, but when I turned around, she was doing something quite different than just rearranging them. So we stopped to help her and minimize the number of crushed toes.

Here is Dad helping her. He built a stronger base so that she could stack with less of a chance of them tumbling.

Mom, I'm BORED

Meghan likes to sit on my lap as I work or play on the computer. Sometimes, we do fun things like watch puppy movies which she now asks for by name. According to Meghan, the only reason we ever need to have the computer on is to watch puppies. But sometimes, Mom does boring things like balance the checkbook, pay bills, or read the news. She won't get down though. She'll either help or fall asleep. Here is her just plain being bored.

Fun in a Basket

I have learned that if it can be climbed in, climbed on, put on, tasted, picked up, or in any way moved, Meghan will do so. Here is her playing with the laundry basket.

Her Favorite Movie

Meghan's favorite movie of all time is Swan Princess. She likes cartoons, but gets scared easily. For example, she whimpers a practically the whole way through Thumbelina. But she would watch Swan Princess all day if I let her. We've had to cut down her TV time though because she has started throwing fits for it and even turning on the TV herself if I ignore her.

Bucket-Head

This is the REAL purpose for buckets. Honestly, she does this herself. I don't suggest it or anything.

Meghan Googles.

Meghan made her first Google search today. Sadly, no results were returned. We captured the treasured moment, and would like to share it with you:

A Day With Andrew: Coexistence

Meghan and Andrew finally came to terms with each other and had a blast playing with Kyle's guitar stool.

At one point, they both tried to fit under it at the same time.

Meghan began to realize that this offered some problems. At this point, she used a phrase Mom hears constantly throughout the course of a day: "I'm stuck!"

A Day with Andrew: The Blanket Battle

Sure, Meghan looks cute and innocent.

But really, this blanket had been in Andrew's possession when she brutally yanked it out of his hands. Andrew pointed out the perpetrator to me.

But Meghan denied it. "No, its mine! Don't say you had it," she said as she swatted down his hand.

So, Andrew got himself a new blanket. "Blue's not my color anyways," says Meghan

After a few emphatic "No"s from Mom, Meghan gave up.


Andrew played hide and seek with me for several minutes with his unstolen blanket. Meghan thought it was the funniest thing she had seen. She tried it herself, and then tried to help Andrew hide again.

Ah, happy days.
