It has been a long time. Aryana and Julia have been keeping me busy. Aryana needs constant stimulation and fortunately Julia doesn't mind being dragged around everywhere.
The flu has been going through our house and it seems to be a recurring one. Just when I think all is well, someone is sick again. Ben was feeling better yesterday, he actually ate something. Today he feels sick again and hasn't eaten anything. I hope everyone feels better soon.
I really hope I don't get sick now because I'm scheduled for surgery on Monday, June 18. I'm going in for a cerclage again. I realize it isn't a very big and minimally invasive surgery but I'm still nervous. The hardest is fasting when pregnant. I usually need to eat about every hour so going without food between 12-18 hours really sucks.
I did have my first ultrasound yesterday. The baby is measuring to be due on December 1, but my "dates" line up with December 14. I'm usually right. So it looks like it'll be a big BOY! I'm really early in my pregnancy so it's not 100% but it seemed pretty obvious. We didn't care if it was a boy or girl. I can't imagine even having a boy or what to do with a boy. I'm sure our little guy will guide us along.
Julia is at a really cute age right now. She always blows kisses to say good bye to people it is really cute. She is running everywhere. I really enjoy when she picks out a book and plops down in my lap to read it. She says a few words, "da-n" (daddy), "bub-bo" (bubble), cookie, tic tac, back pack (from DORA), Annika, "tst-tst choo choo" when a train goes by, and Elmo. Even though Julia can't say much she can't certainly get her point across. She is also getting a little bit of an attitude.
Aryana isn't as much of a hoarder anymore, thankfully, but she still has to pack before we leave the house. She is potty trained...almost. Number 2 seems to be a struggle but it's coming along. She is starting to ride her tricycle. I'm happy about that, she can entertain herself a little. She still copies Julia a lot. When do little sisters start copying the older sister instead of the reverse. Aryana will grunt and point instead of talking, and she can speak really well. She prefers the baby swing. She is starting to use her utensils again, but I think that's just because Julia is eating with a fork and spoon now.
Phew, on my way to 3 kids. I'm just looking forward to not feeling pregnancy exhausted anymore.
