Good afternoon Ladies!
Well, we've been just lounging around here at our house. I got a blog posted today, which is good because I'm not sure when I will get around to doing another one after this baby is born.
Nicole, we have two of those cubby things in Samuel's play room with the cloth cubes. We keep all of his toys on them and the cubes help to keep toys organized. I highly recommend them. It helps teach your child organization, which is something that helps them later on. He has all his cars in one cube, his play kitchen stuff in another, a bunch of characters/figurines in another and so forth. I've always been a real stickler about him picking up his toys, so he's pretty clean and organized. We've been doing it from the beginning though, so it comes natural to him now. It's my MIL and FIL that mess up the pattern!
Libby, what do they look for when they do the appraisal? I'm wondering if the value of our house has gone up any now that we've updated the kitchen and put in energy efficient french doors? That's an awesome interest rate!! Now you'll have even more money to buy apple fritters and veggie wraps! Ha just kidding!!
As for the pack n play. We only really used it when someone would come over to watch Samuel when he was a baby. For some reason, people were too stupid to work the baby gate that was on his bedroom door to keep the dogs out of his room. So, we set the pack n play up in the living room. It had that insert where it could be used as a changing table. Other than that, we would take it outside and stick him in it to play while we did yard work. He wasn't a big fan of it though. I always felt guilty putting him in there. I felt like it was like baby jail or something. I guess I was pretty strict with Samuel when he was a baby though, because he isn't like some kids that go into a house and start pulling stuff off shelves and run crazy. He just sits quietly. He's a well behaved kid and knows right from wrong for the most part, so I have no problem leaving him alone and letting him explore on his own. I like that.
Amber, I did some research last night and it says if you take a LD aspirin, which is what I take you can't get an epidural because you can get a blood clot in your spine? My doctor gave me the okay to quit taking it, but I'm nervous because I also read that you can still develop clots in the umbilical cord and that freaks me out more than not being able to get an epidural. I'm hoping I can talk to my doctor a little more about it on Friday. I really hope Sara holds out until after this weekend. I've got the yard work itch going on and with Dan getting his papers done he can do more yard work for me this weekend.
Krissy, Can you imagine if everyone called in when the weather was nice? I hope it's still nice for you by Friday, when you're off. Only a couple of days away. Any fun plans?
Grace, I haven't heard from Loren. I would hope that she had the baby by now though. She must just be dead tired. I remember after having Samuel I was so tired and delirious that when my doctor came in to talk to me, I was making no sense and he just laughed at me. So, just a warning. REALLY BE AWAKE before you talk to someone.
As for Misty, I talk to her through text message on a daily basis. Nothing is really new though. She's been home with Tyler and he's doing well. He spits up a lot, which anyone who knows spitting up, knows it can be frustrating. Other than that, I know that they are both doing well. Happy full term day!!!! Hard to believe how quick all of this has gone huh? I'm ready!! That's awesome about your crib!!! Better get crackin' putting it together. Have you decided on a name yet?
I think it's a good name.
