Once again, I've completely forgotten to update this blog! It was partly intentional this time, though, because I was waiting a little longer until letting the cat out of the bag. So, the good news is that I'm pregnant again! I am just about 13 weeks and have had an ultrasound already and I heard a nice, strong heart beat at 10 1/2 weeks. I am due around September 5th. Claire calls the baby "Baby Bean" and she likes to kiss my tummy. It is very cute!
So for other updates...let's see.... Well, we cut about two inches off of Claire's hair about a month ago! The baby-fine hair was getting tangled and was driving me crazy. She now has a very cute "big-girl" haircut. Claire is talking in full sentences now and has been for a while. She comes up with the funniest stuff these days! The other night she decided that her stuffed pig should be named "DADDY!" When Link said, "no, let's call him Pinkie" she said "NO! DADDY! HEE HEE HEE!" She also tells jokes that she thinks are hilarious...her favorite joke brings me to a funny story...
So a while back Link was watching Claire while I was working upstairs. He dozed off while they were watching Peter Pan and naturally, Claire chose that time to poop. She then stuck her hand in her pants and scooped some out with her finger. Then she put her finger right up to Link's face and said "Wash my poop finger, Daddy!" Now if you ask her to tell you a joke she says "Woke Daddy up with a poop finger! HEE HEE HEE!" It was pretty darn funny!
Oh, another thing Claire does now is put herself in a time out. If she's being naughty she tells me she thinks she should have a time out! Little stinker! But if I ask her if she wants a time out when she's being really naughty her response "I don't think so!"
There is nothing really exciting to share about Link and me. We are just going along as usual. I'm trying to rest as much as possible and not stress out with this pregnancy. I haven't had much work lately, which isn't good, but I'm trying not to let it get to me. I figure there is plenty of time to save for retirement and if we are a little slow for a while we'll be okay. Link on the other hand is working his buns off, as usual. His office moved temporarily and they are looking forward to moving into a really nice space a few months from now. He also has a student at work which I think is both a blessing and a curse. He's still enjoying his job, though, and thank God he is in a career that isn't being affected by this darn economy! We know that at least one of us will always have plenty of work to do! :)
So besides that stuff, I don't have much to share. I will try to keep this blog updated on a more regular basis moving forward so stay tuned!
Here is a link to video of Claire playing in the rain! http://www.onetruemedia.com/otm_site/view_shared?p=816533547c092f194243bd
