New Baby Pictures

Here are the pics of our new baby.

Knot-Head

Well, Reese fell of the bed again on Sunday. The last time she did it, the dog bed was still on the floor which cushioned her fall. This time, however, she landed head first on the hardwood. She cried and cried. Within minutes she had a huge knot on her head. But, she took a little nap and woke up happy as ever! Normally, in the morning, when I bring her into bed with me, I am able to catch her if she starts heading to the edge. This time, no such luck! Poor thing.

I had my ultrasound on Friday. All we know is that this new baby is either a boy or a girl! All kidding aside, we do know that the baby has a strong heartbeat and all its little fingers and toes, which is all that matters! It was just too early, though, to tell what the sex is. We should find out in late February though. I can't wait!

Update

Where to begin?

Reese turned 10 months old on Monday and has started walking! Last night she went about 8 feet! I can't believe how fast she is growing. She pretty much refuses to eat baby food. She loves hot dogs and carrots. She hates Cheerios. She says "bye-bye" and gives the best kisses in the whole world. I am so proud of the little person she is becoming.

As for the new baby, I am 14 weeks. I am going for a "fun" ultrasound tomorrow. I am actually going to be an ultrasound "model", and it is not at my doctor's office, so it is just so I can see the little one. There is a chance we will be able to tell what the baby is, but I am not putting much hope into that - - it is still a little early, and if this one is anything like Reese, we won't get any cooperation out of it!

The last week or so, I have started to feel better. No more days of thinking that the nausea would never end. I still don't feel great, but not having to depend on medication to get me through the day is wonderful!!!

Will this kitchen ever be finished?

I am still working on redo-ing this kitchen. So far, most of the cabinets are refinished - I still have all the bottoms doors left to do, the walls are painted - just waiting for the second coat to dry so I can take down the blue tape, and the faux tiles are up and most of them have the base coat of paint on them - the ones over the sink are still drying. But, all in all, it looks like this project may done just in time for Thanksgiving. I'll be so glad to get my kitchen back!!!

On a happier note, Reese is 8 months old today! To celebrate, we went to Old Navy and got a winter hat and some baby house shoes to keep her little toes warm. Of course, once we got home and I put them on her, they are a little big and they keep falling off. But they are 6-12 months, so hopefully at some point they will fit her!

The sweetest sound

Reese has started saying "mama." I can't describe how wonderful it is to hear her little voice. She is growing so fast. As I am sitting in bed typing this now, I want to go and get her from her bed and bring her in here to sleep with me, just to have her close - as if holding her during the night will keep her little. But, I will just wait until morning when I hear that sweet word over the monitor - "mamama mama ma mama mama."

Having her cake...and eating it, too.

I made a cake yesterday. Tonight after dinner, I decided to let Reese try some. She loved it.
