Happy March! We've finally reached BABY MONTH!!! Hurray!!
FYI-- This is going to be an abbreviated post...mostly because I'm tired and lazy :)
Here's an updated 38 week photo of my big belly:
And a comparison from last pregnancy (I'm even wearing the same shirt!):
Pregnancy Update in a Nutshell:
How Far Along: 38 weeks
Weight Gain: 23 pounds
Baby's Size: 6-7 lbs, 19-20" long
Movement: Still just lots of sharp jabs. I'm still not sleeping :(
Measuring: On track! Baby finally slowed down and is measuring exactly where it should.
Mama's Health: All is good. Only complaint is I can't get comfortable.
Gender Prediction: BOY....I think?
Names: Packed the baby name book. We do well under pressure :)
Etc.: Check out photos in the email of our updates- trying to make room for a 4th body in a 2 bd house is quite a task!
Labor Progress: Well, there is none. Hopefully something will change before my Monday 39 wk appt! Due date, March 15. Tentative induction date, March 21.
Scarlett 22 Month Update in a Nutshell
Miss Scarlett is 22 months! She seems excited about feeding the baby "babas" but we are still not sure how much she understands?! She definitely knows that mama's big belly gets in the way of her sitting on my lap and me carrying her as often.
Talking
This kid never stops talking! Yesterday's newest word was, "Fire engine." Where did she learn it? I have NO idea. This week's newest phrase is, "Mama, what that?" She now is constantly asking me what things are all day long.
Independence
We went on our preschool tour last Monday with Mimi & Daddy. Scarlett walked right into the 2's class, past 5 "big girls" and made herself right at home with the toys. The other girls just stopped and stared and this confident little toddler. It was hysterical. Then, soon after, she made herself comfortable, sitting in between a group of boys and one of the teachers with the playdough at the craft table. We got the impression that preschool is right up her alley :) She is all signed up for the fall!
Scarlett loves spending time with her people with, "no mommy, no daddy." She constantly asks to see Mimi & Boppy without us. When Kailyn the babysitter came over earlier this week, she immediately told me, "Mama, bye-bye. Scarlett and Kailyn play." Ha. I took the hint and left while she was happy!
Biggest Challenge
The foot stomping and whining has arrived. All month our constant reminder to Scarlett has been that if she wants something she needs to keep her feet quiet and use her big girl voice. This is a DAILY/HOURLY reminder. She definitely tests Jeremy's and my patience! It is quite exhausting to talk so calmly and repeat the same rules over and over again. We are trying to keep it simple with her....hopefully it gets easier?!
Biggest Highlight
Scarlett's memory is amazing! She can point out places all over town that we've been to only once or twice! I.E. Driving by Casa Grande High School back parking lot (where she has watched only 2 of Jeremy's basketball games), she pointed and said, "Daddy basketball!"
And, yesterday driving by New Yorker Pizza she pointed and said, "Bodie & Harry pizza!" since we ate pizza with the Knueppels there two weeks ago. It's crazy! I'm constantly amazed at the new words, phrases, recognition, etc. from such a little person!
Scarlett's favorite activity, music class!
Hiking with Daddy!
First ice cream cone!
Warm, Feb evening walk
Happy Hazel
First haircut!
Ta Da! A cute, blonde bob!
We are thrilled to meet our new little one and can't wait to share the news as soon as it happens!
lots of love,
the kings!
