A Time For Every Season....

January 18th - I went to the doctor today for my weekly checkup and discovered that I have gained 45 pounds! WOW! Little Drew had a very strong heartbeat and is progressing well. I was hoping to be taken off my trebutaline pump today, but when the doctor checked my cervix she found out I was already almost 4 cm dilated! So, I will be on the pump for one more week. This will ensure that the baby stays cooking in my tummy for 36 full weeks.

January 14, 2006 Drew had his eye teeth come in today. Poor boy, he has been crying all day long. The right one has just cut through, and the left one is still in the process. I hope they come in by tonight, it will be a long night. Also, Drew has had a terrible diaper rash for weeks - it seems. I finally bought the Dr. Smiths diaper rash ointment because it is suppose to be the best. When I checked on Drew this afternoon the only red left were tiny dots - which means he has a bacterial infection. I guess we will be going to the doctor again on Monday. January 13, 2006 Garage Play is now one of Drew's favorite pastimes! When he is cranky I now ask myself... has Drew played in the garage today? I know it seems crazy, but he LOVES the garage. He plays with brooms and wood and boxes and toddles all around. He is in heaven, especially when daddy is in the garage watching him. He won't complain when I am the one watching, but he prefers daddy. When John goes into the garage to g...

January 4, 2006 This week Drew had his first haircut, he looks like a big boy now! He was so good for the barber; he played with some toys and sat in this cute little plane while he had his haircut. What a star! Drew has been walking and running all over the house. He has discovered that if he moves his legs faster he can move quicker. He takes a lot of tumbles in a day, but loves the freedom walking provides. We have recently started placing the vacuum at the bottom of the stairs so Drew won't climb up them. He is still petrified of the vacuum. John just finished up my flower beds. They look so professional! He finished up the lighting today - the whole project looks beautiful. I can't believe that the project is complete! Many of our neighbors have stopped by and admired John's hard work .They all thought he was a professional mason! I will post some pictures this week so you can see what I am writing about. Drew has been playing a lot outside with John. Drew loves to pla...

Drew, 22 months old, a ball of energy and curiosity was rummaging through the bathroom drawer a scanning the contents for new and hidden treasures. First he pulled out a bottle of hand lotion, then a bottle of hair gel, next contact solution and lastly my hair dryer. I was running around upstairs putting clothes away when I noticed that I was late; I quickly called Drew' s name requesting his presence, and waited ... At 22 months Drew has finally learned the "come when called game" so my request shouldn't have been too difficult for him? I heard him rustling in the bathroom, but began to get irritated that he wasn't obeying. I walked into the bathroom to find him still playing in the drawer, or so it appeared. I quickly disciplined him and then went back to the stairs to once again call him over. I called him again and waited... My mommy vision was finally starting to work and I knew something more must be going on, so I calmly walked into the bathr...
