Doctor visit

 

Haven't been able to get a good picture of her becuase she is sitting so slow in my pelvis. Her face is pretty smashed up against me but at least you can see part of her :) 

The last ultrasound went very well. Evelynn has grown to the 33rd percentile so they won't have to deliver her early anymore which is great! She is just a little small but no major problems which is a big blessing. She is moving around a ton and is happy in there. I have been eating protein like crazy so maybe that helped a little for her growth. The doctor said she doesn't like to induce so it won't be like my last birth with Andrew at 39 weeks. So we will see when she decides to come. Though I am a little scared because my birth with Andrew went so fast I am worried that if my water breaks somewhere I am just going to have a baby in the middle of the store or something!

Indoor play

 Andrew loves putting the little counter chips into a bucket with a slot on top. He sat and did this for at least 30 minutes. They are really small though so I have to watch him carefully so he doesn't put them in his mouth. I couldn't find any of the big poker chips.

 

 

 We did an indoor tent day. I piled up books and different activities for Andrew to do in the tent. He just likes snuggling on the blankets and looking out the windows.

 Another slot activity. I like this one better because he can't choke on bag clips.

 Oatmeal mess time. I hide little toy bugs in the oatmeal and Andrew likes to dig them out with a spoon.

 Wooden shape sorter we got with Nanna's Christmas money. He can't quite do the squares or triangles but the circles work well.

 I got sticky contact paper and we made a collage from my cooking magazine

 Andrew built this tower all by himself. I couldn't believe how high he got it! For his development milestone he is supposed to be able to stack 3 so he is doing really good at that one! I don't have any real blocks so we are using the thanksgiving decoration blocks but they work :)

 Andrew was more interested in the sliding eraser than drawing on the magnetic board.

 Andrew's favorite new game is magnetic fishing. The puzzle has fish with magnets on top so he can fish them off. He is really good at it! Though he likes to fling around the fishing rod which can be dangerous at high speeds.

 Andrew is getting better at coloring and not eating the crayons. I still have to take them away sometimes but for the most part he is pretty good about it.

I tape the paper to the kitchen floor for coloring and waterpainting. The painting is messy but he really likes it. 

Doctor visit

Well things aren't going so hot for the baby right now. The doctor said her growth is in the 27th percentile and her abdomen is only in the 10th percentile. So we are worried about it being intrauterine growth restriction which means the baby isn't growing well for some reason. I'm going in on Monday for another ultrasound to measure her again and I have to go in every week to do a stress test for the baby. If she is not growing well in a few more weeks they will have to deliver her early. I need to try to rest more and eat more protein and see if that helps. Hopefully she is just small and nothing else is wrong. We are pretty worried!

This week I am 34 weeks and getting so ready to have the baby! It feels like it is taking forever! I have been getting really really tired lately and it has been tough to keep chasing Andrew around. It is getting hard to sit on the floor and play with him, even to just read stories. So we have been going out a lot to places he can run. We went to the beach yesterday for about 3 1/2 hours and he was really good. He had a blast racing in and out of the water. We went to crandon beach so there is a playground and other things for him to do when he needs a break from the beach. He ran the entire time and was so tired when we got home he took a 3 hour nap and then slept through most of the night finally. He has been sleeping horribly lately. I think all the rest of his teeth are coming in so his mouth is hurting him. He got a few more big ones coming through the gums so hopefully the rest can just hurry up and come in so he can get to sleeping normal again!

  Andrew almost said his first word. He is getting so close to talking but just can't quite do it yet. We were eating brownies and gave him a piece to try. He loved it! haha. He wanted more so we told him to say please and he said pssss , it was cute!

I go to the doctor today to check on the baby. The doctors are worried that the baby is small so I am going to have to get check ups a lot to make sure she is getting enough nutrition and is healthy. Hopefully she grew a little since the last time I went.
