anniversary, texture play, doctor visit

 Anniversary :) I made Brandon bottles full of yummy candy and a card and he got me flowers and a carrot cake :) It was super good!




 Wouldn't even touch the stuff!


 This is the look I get every time I try to get him to touch something different. He just looks at me like "You want me to touch that?" haha, he is pretty funny.


Yesterday was Brandon and my 3rd anniversary. It's crazy how fast time fly's by! I feel like we just got married. We were both feeling pretty sick so we didn't get to do anything too crazy but we had cake and watched a movie, so that was nice :) This week I have been trying to focus on texture things for Andrew. He just really hates getting his hands dirty though, haha. I really thought all little boys loved being messy, but he does not at all. He likes to make a mess but not have anything stuck to his hands. I tried making him this flubbery stuff to play with in the bath but he would not even try to touch it. It was too weird for him. Then I sprayed some shaving cream in there for him to smear around. He tried that for a little bit but then decided that was too messy too so I just gave him a bath. Then I tried some cornmeal with a little water mixed in. He just stared at it for a while until I got a spoon out and showed him he could scoop it and fling it everywhere. He liked that. And he liked searching for little bugs I hid in the cornmeal. But he never just stuck his hands in to play with the stuff. I also made him a texture board with all sorts of different feeling things on it, but he wasn't that interested in it. Probably would have worked a few months ago but he is too busy to sit and feel and the things now. He just tries to pull it all off of there.

I went to the doctor today again. And I'm not doing so great. I haven't gained any weight still and I lost a pound since the last visit a few weeks ago so the doctor is really worried. I need to try to gain 5-6 pounds in the next couple of weeks. I have such a hard time eating well with the nausea though so I'm not sure what I am going to do. It is also hard to cook well for myself when Andrew is holding on my leg the whole time begging to be picked up. He hates it when I have to cook dinner. So my goal is to try and eat as much as I can while I have visitors coming. Ellie will be here this week and then my mom comes a few weeks so hopefully I can figure out a better eating pattern. I may go try some ginger tea or something too to help. I just started feeling the baby moving around all the time though. He moves so much. I feel lots of little flutterings going on in there so he is pretty active.
