Sloan - Measuring Small

The last couple of weeks have been interesting as far as this pregnancy goes. I measured small with Grant but this time I am measuring really, really small they say. I had 2 more ultra sounds last week to ensure that my placenta and fluid levels were okay and that the cord had good blood flow, etc. The perinatologist said that she looks great and everything is normal. Sloan is just going to be a small baby by their estimates. She was at 5lb 9oz according to them. I saw my OBGYN again yesterday and she is having me monitor the baby movement to ensure it doesn't slow down. I still measured really, really small. So, she said that she really doesn't want me going past my due date this time around. Not my choice but I may be forced to induce by the due date if she doesn't arrive on her own before that. I am trying to get them to let her stay in there until she is ready like I did with Grant.....but we will see! Even though I am definitely ready to not be pregnant anymore!

We have a Parrot in the House!

It is official.....we have a little parrot in the house named Grant! He was already copying his nanny, Ann, and saying "Oh me, Oh my" and "How did you do that". Now, he overheard Luke say "Come on, Man!" while watching football this weekend. He repeats its all the time now and will inform you that "dada says that". When we put him to bed last night, he started talking to himself....so we turned on the monitor to hear and he was saying "Come on, Man!".....so funny! We will all be watching our language for sure now!

Potty training - Grant is still doing great with this. Ironically, he is much better away from home than he is at home. He gets busy at home and just doesn't want to stop to go potty. So, we have an occasional pee accident. Usually, he will stop himself and finish in the potty though. Knock on wood, we haven't had a poop accident in a very long time. He has that down to a science and so do we, ha ha! We are enjoying our lack of diapers for a few more weeks at least.

Sloan update - I am now 36 weeks and will begin going to the doctor every week now. Her heart rate was in the 140s last week which is normal. 4 more weeks to go, whew!

Shopping with Grant

We went to Toys R Us this week. When we told him that he couldn't put something in the big cart....he found his own little cart and started putting stuff in it. And pushed it around the entire store....

Baby Sloan Updates

I am at 34 weeks now and very ready to get this little girl here! Her heart rate was in the 150s at our appointment last week. We had the last ultrasound and everything looks great. She is head down now so that was great news. Unfortunately, she had her hands covering her face so none of the pictures were good. She has not been very cooperative in any of the ultrasounds. We have decided to name her Sloan (Luke's mother's maiden name) and we are almost done with the nursery....just waiting on a lamp and some things to put on the walls. I have put some pictures below.

Nursery - definitely a little cramped with a queen size bed but it will be Grant's bed when he decides to ditch his crib

Grant climbs right up and flips in....very amusing to watch!

He loves her crib and the pink bear!
