I suppose its time for an update from the Phoenicians. I\u2019ve had my 6 month checkup and a follow-up ultrasound for the amniotic band. Neither the tech or the doctor could detect any presence of bands or anything else that looked suspicious and the baby looked healthy and all the vitals were good. So, not sure what we saw last time, but not going to worry about it anymore.<\/p>\n
I must have my second trimester energy because I had Nate get all the baby stuff out of the attic that we\u2019ve been putting up there for 1 1\/2 years. Clothes have been sorted and toys have been put in their new homes and the large items have been stowed in preparation for baby. Hannah had a pretty good time playing with all her old stuff and I kept reminding her that those will be brother\u2019s toys. I think I\u2019m pretty much done with the nesting now but Nate has quite a few things he keeps saying he wants to do \u201cbefore Nov\u201d so I\u2019ve been accusing him of nesting too. J Baby has been more and more active at night, I\u2019ll have to give up on good sleep for awhile and might move to the couch soon so I can recline and not have to lie on my side.<\/p>\n
Hannah has been quite fun as she is starting to speak more understandably (at least to us) and learn new skills at day care and at home. She gets a little (understatement) frustrated when the communication paths aren\u2019t working or anytime she gets told no. She recently fell onto a pen at daycare and is lucky she didn\u2019t poke her eye. She is a big dare devil so I\u2019m sure this won\u2019t be her last scar. She has her 18 month checkup next week.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
