Summer fun

Finally after 3 weeks things are starting to come together. We are down to about a dozen boxes left to unpack and they are in the dinning room. We still have not found the toaster, but the upstairs bathroom is functional. Pop came yesterday and installed the toilet and sink. It is nice to be able to shower and get dressed on the same floor. There is still some work to be done in the bathroom before we can say it is completed like trim, some touch up paint, and a closet door.

Brie has been enjoying the house, especially the yard. We got her a swing and a slide which she loves. She can climb up the rock wall side of her slide and then slide down all on her own. She also likes to play in her froggie pool. Today I turned the sprinkler part on and she was not a fan. I think the water was a little too cold and the spray a little to powerful.

Luckily she continues to eat well. We think the new house has something to do with that. We are not longer eating crunchy foods we are eating real food. She enjoys trying to feed herself as well. She is getting pretty good at using a fork. She needs a little help spearing the food, but once it is on the fork she knows where to put it. She is very proud of herself and even claps after taking a bite. Hopefully as she improves with utensils we will take more of an interest in eating at the table with us. Right now we are still feeding her separate and walking around to get her to eat.



Today we started a milk trial. Our new ped wanted us to wait until we see the GI, but there next available appt was not until the end of August. Today I added 1 oz of whole milk to 4 oz of her formula. She had no problem taking it, but when she woke up she coughed and milk came out her nose. She has not done that in months, but we have to give it more of a chance.



As for Brie's little brother or sister, things seem to be going well. I had an appt with the OB this week and the heartbeat was nice and strong. We discussed scheduling my c-section between 36 and 37 weeks and did a bunch of bloodwork to ensure Brie's premature birth and my small placenta were not because of a clotting problem. Hopefully we will get the results soon. I see the high risk OB in a little over a week and hopefully will have an ultrasound that day. I know many of you are hoping to know the sex. We are to. The babies room is far from ready, but it would be nice to start planning. Marcus has requested purple if it is another little girl, if it is a boy it will be blue of course.
