Henry - 11 Months Old

What can I say - this kid just loves life!! Especially being silly with his Daddy...

Maybe Baby - 7 Weeks

How far along? 7 weeks
Total weight gain/loss: -2, thank you morning sickness - but still +5 from preHenry.
Maternity clothes? Not yet!
Stretch marks? Not yet!
Sleep: Not too bad, just peeing once a night
Best moment this week: Getting to take a morning nap today - thanks husband!
Movement: Nope
Food cravings: Nothing, I'm really struggling with finding something that sounds good.
Gender: Hmmm....
Labor Signs: N/A
Belly Button in or out? Innie
What I miss: Waking up and not puking...
What I am looking forward to: Hearing the heartbeat - that will set my soul at ease!
Weekly Wisdom: It's better to sit and feel good, than to clean the house and feel like crap!
Milestones: Each week feels like a milestone at this point!
Realization of the week: Puking is gross!

So, overall I'm doing good with this pregnancy... just feeling really rundown and sick. Thank goodness I only work in the afternoons, because mornings are awful for me!

I'm trying not to be a worry wort with every twinge and pain that I feel. They don't happen often enough to be a concern, probably just round ligament and stretching going on. My tummy already looks full though - but I know it's just leftover from the first pregnancy and bloating. But I definitely know now why women say they start showing immediately with the second baby!

We've still got 5-6 weeks until we're out of the first trimester and into the safety zone (or safer zone - because are we really ever safe?) - but I'm repeating this scripture over and over all day long:

Find rest, Oh my soul, in God alone. My hope comes from Him. Psalm 62:5

10 months and 3 weeks

I think for now, I'm going to alternate posts about Henry and Maybe Baby. I don't want to make a whole new blog - so they'll have to learn to share the spotlight already!

Today is for Henry! At the doctor for his flu shot - he weighed 22lbs - 12 oz. But that was with all his clothes on, and a wet diaper. So, it's not an official weight :) My little man didn't even shed a tear for his flu shot - he's so brave!

Bottles: Still rough times here. We're trying to give him 3 6oz bottles a day - but he's drinking maybe 10-12oz a day. I've started to mix 2 oz milk with 4 oz formula, to gear us up to the switchover (and to stop wasting expensive formula!)


Solids: Henry will eat almost anything we're eating - he loves food! Almost every night at dinner I have to stop him because I feel like he's eaten a ton, and he never ever gets too full to eat. He just keeps shoveling it in!

Waketime Length: Same, usually 2 1/2 hours - sometimes longer

Naps: Definitely down to 2 naps, unless we have a crazy day. To help out at daycare, his morning nap is shorter, I wake him up around 10:30.

Nighttime sleep: Same greatness here! Still averaging 7:45pm until 7am.

Milestones: Henry now has 2 bottom teeth - and he can walk!! He cruises all over - and can even turn around or walk in a circle and keep on going! He's starting to try to say some words, but besides dada and mom - they're nothing official. You can tell that he's trying to repeat the sounds you say though - it's so cute!

Daycare: Henry is doing awesome at daycare - his caregiver says he's adjusted really well. He only cries for a minute or two after I drop him off - and it's the best thing to see him reach for me when I pick him up!

We got fall pictures taken with his cousin Claire today - I'll post some of them as soon as we get the cd!

Henry loves spaghetti night! (good thing we have it weekly!)
