Belly bump

Here's my almost 4 month belly bump. (15 weeks)

Bonus Math time.

you have to go to YouTube and watch this video! The story behind it is that Dan sings the "bonus math time" song to his students when they are not sitting in their desks before the bell rings. If they aren't sitting in their desk then they have to stay after the bell which would be bonus math time. Well, anyway, he recorded Anya giving the introduction to the song. You have to see it. It is probably the cutest sound in the world! If that link didn't work, just go to youtube.com and search for bonus math time. It should be the first one that comes up.

Also for other funny videos the Dan make for his kids, search for TAPS on da graph. That is one of his best ones. From there if you click on dsepp0030 you can see all his other ones.

Dan's Birthday

I dressed Anya up for Dan's birthday and here are some of the cute pictures I snapped. She is talking more and more every day and just continues to amaze us. She is such a good girl. She is so happy, energetic, and loveable. We just recently had her 18 month check up (she's really more like 19 months, but that's ok). She is still in the 95th percentile for height and 75th-90th for weight.

Update on baby

So a couple of weeks ago I was having some spotting for 3-4 days. We were able to get another ultrasound just to check things out. I was 13.5 weeks at the time. Right away we could see baby and see the heartbeat (in the 160's). We could also see baby moving around rocking back and forth gently and moving arms and hands around over his/her head. So comforting! Then last week I had my usual doctor check up and we heard the heartbeating. That's one of the best sounds in the world! They couldn't find any reason for the bleeding, so not to worry. This happened with Anya too, so I guess it's just how I roll when I'm pregnant. I'm feeling good these days and definitely popping out. I've gained about 4-5 pounds and am 15 weeks but I feel like I look more pregnant than I am. 5 more weeks until we find out boy or girl! We will let you know when we find out.

ABC's and spelling her name

Ear infections Galore!

Anya had an ear infection in her left ear and pink eye last week. The drops and antibiotics worked right away and she is doing great. I was feeling icky last wednesday and went in and they said I didn't have anything and that since I'm pregnant, I just have to tough it out with a little bit of Tylenol. Well, I couldn't stand it any longer and last night went into urgent care again and now I have a full fledged double ear infection and sinus infection. So I'm on antibiotics now as well! FUN! Anyway, the other day I was in the kitchen and heard a scraping noise against the floor and looked around the corner to see little Anya pushing her rocking chair from her room into the living room right in front of the tv. She climbed in and watched her Dora show. She still loves Super Why, but Dora is taking a close second. She sings do do do do do Dora and then after the "swiper no swiping" part, she said "oh man!" just like swiper. too funny. She has just taken off with talking. She can sing pretty much all of the ABC's on her own, most of "twinkle twinkle little star" and she seems to pick up and sing words from lots of other random songs. She can spell her name and knows all the traditional animal sounds. The other day she was reading a book and pointed to the page and said "Sheep, Baaahh" Oh and the BEST THING EVER is that she is now starting so say I love you mommy and I love you daddy. It just melts my heart to hear her say that. She is so awesome!!
