Happy New Year to everyone!Sorry I've been a slacker with my postings! Aaron and I really did not greet the new year at midnight this year. Eli had a temperature the night before, so we took it easy. I worked from home, and Aaron went into work for a few hours, then we made a nice steak dinner. Eli went to bed early since he was getting cranky, so Aaron and I were in bed by 8pm watching TV and falling asleep early! The joys of parenthood and pregnancy!
Prego Update:
I am now 28 weeks along, in my third and final trimester! Whoo hoo! I had my glucose test to test for Gestational Diabetes, and my glucose and hemoglobin were both normal. The FHR (fetal heart rate) was 145 bpm (beats per minute)and so far everything is looking good. Amazingly I only gained 1 lb since my last appointment a month ago and BEFORE the holidays. My goal is to gain less than last pregnancy, I gained about 40 lbs with Eli. We'll see, this is the trimester I'll be packing on the pounds, ugh! My appointments will now be every 2 weeks until 36 weeks. I am measuring a little bigger, but it's too early to tell if I'll be having another 10 lb baby! My gut is telling me I'll be having a C-Section before my due date.
Eli Update:
Eli is now 20 months old! My little baby is growing up! He walks with a purpose. When I pick him up from school he has to wave and say "bye bye" to everyone he sees. So cute! He loves "choo choos" and "puppy". He has to say good night to "puppy" several times. In fact we're training Stoli to sit in his room until he falls asleep because it keeps him from crying when we leave the room.
Aaron painted Eli's big boy room over the weekend. It is so cute! We have the Eric Carle bedding, the author and illustrator of "The Very Hungry Catepillar".We have an animal theme, which Eli loves. We have been hanging out with him in his new room, reading to him, and playing with him in his room. We will try to get him to nap in there next weekend.
His teachers have been doing Montessori activities with him such as sorting and pouring, which helps in his fine motor development.They told me he is doing "advanced" Montessori work, like I said, my child is a genius! LOL! He really does love all the activities they do. They said he had so much fun in music class this past week.
Well, that's about all! I found out Erin and Andy will be expecting in August 2008, Fozzy the Fetus-- wocka wocka wocka! Congrats! Katie and Jake will be having Baby #2 on January 14th.
I'll be posting some pics, hopefully this week.

I'm glad to hear that Eli is doing so well and that you're feeling well. Everyone is on baby #2. That seems scary to me right now, but I'm sure it won't forever. Keep us updated on baby #2.
Great ideas to transition Eli into his room slowly like you're doing. And I love how you're putting Stoli to work by staying in his room. What a great dog. It's time for a new prego pic soon!
PS - It's amazing how all of us had sick babies over the holidays: Izzy, Eli, Solomon, Gus, and others I know. 'Twas the season.
Cherie, does Katie know what she's having? That's cool--didn't know! Baby boom, for sure. We're trying to figure out how Gus might transition to a big bed next summer, too. We'll see!
