If You Haven't Heard...

Samantha had seemed to go through a dry spell as far as saying new words but lately she has started to pick up more again. She said "luv you" to Travis the other night while talking to him on the phone. She has also started to say "thank you." Both of these small phrases warm my heart!

As we have mentioned, Samantha continues to watch us like a hawk. She spits when we do after brushing our teeth, says "grrrr" when frustrated (like her mom) and tries to start peeling an orange by biting into the skin (like her dad). Some of these things are quite comical to watch.

And, one morning I found Samantha on top of the dining room table. She had moved her step stool to a dining room chair and from there she climbed the rest of the way.

Last, but certainly not least...we're expecting again. This new little one is expected to come March 10, just one month before Samantha's two-year birthday. We are very excited for this little one to arrive.

So far things to be progressing as they should. The baby's heartrate has been strong (143 and 152 bpm) and this last ultrasound the baby was squirming around a lot. The arms, legs (stubs) and eye sockets were clearly visible.

As far as how I'm feeling, I am feeling great. I have really had no significant side effects from this pregnancy except for the usual occasional tiredness and I can eat a ton. We'll keep you updated on this little bambino as well.
