So, I am 31 weeks pregnant as of today. I can't believe this pregnancy has gone so smooth! (Knock on wood). No hospital visits, no real problems. I have been having contractions, but I have been having those for months. This kid still moves so much more than Courtney ever did. I still have my pregnancy complaints (back pain, not being able to bend over, not always comfortable) but they are all still pretty common for any pregnancy! Wow, what a difference from the last time!
Courtney continues to amaze us. We took her up to the zoo this past weekend. She just about knows what every animal is and the noise they make. The thing that amazes me is that she calls the hippos by their full name 'hippopotamus'. She is starting to get into the big words. She has been enjoying being able to feed the giraffes all by herself, we don't have to hold her. She loves that she gets to pick which giraffe she gets to feed to0. She usually wants to feed the babies.
Our poor kid has had a runny nose for weeks. But she has also been steadily working on getting her 2 year molars in. They have been really good at coming in one at a time. Right as one gets all the way in, the next one starts. She had been having a cough as well that just would not go away. I finally took her to the pediatrician. The pediatrician concluded after looking her over that the teeth coming in are causing the runny nose, which in turn is causing drainage, which in turn is causing the cough. She had us try her on some Zyrtek. I am not real sure it helps her, but we still are trying it out.
I mentioned that she has been getting into saying 'big words'. The other day she told me something was 'incredible'. I asked her "did you just say incredible?" To which she replied "yes!" Ok then! Then last night she told me that she 'had to apologize' to one of her friends at school for hitting her. She actually used the word apologize.
Then last night she really blew Hubby and I away. She was playing with her letters last night. She brought a Q over to Hubby. We asked her what letter it was, she said "O". We said 'close!' Then we asked her if she could find the O. Which she went right to the fridge (where her letters are) and grabbed the O and came running back. We thought it has to be a fluke. So, we put all the letters she had brought us on the coffee table, there were probably about 15 letters. We asked her to pick out the O to which she promptly did. She knows the O, but she hasn't seemed to grasp any other letters yet. We were just blown away by the fact that she is 2 years and 5 months old and she already knows a letter!
We finally ordered the wall paper boarder we are going to put up in the baby's room. We did that yesterday, we should have it in 7-10 days. And we are pretty sure of the colors we are going to paint in the room as well. I think we will just double check again once we get the boarder in. We did finally manage to get all the furniture out of the room, so we are actually moving on the room now. Nothing like waiting until the last 2 months to get you motivated! We still have to go and pick out some accessories for the room, like a ceiling fan, rug, lamp, etc.
Well, I think that is about all that has been happening around here recently.
