Updates...

I'm at work with a few minutes of down time so I thought I'd post a few updates. First of all, I love my hubby:-) He had the most gorgeous stargazer lilies sent to me at work for my birthday! Of course I immediately thought about how much they must have cost...but it was such a nice gesture I can't be upset. We were hoping to go to Myrtle Beach this weekend with friends, but thanks to Hanna, we'll be celebrating my birthday at home. This will be the first weekend in over a month that I'll have off work so I'm really looking forward to it, even if the weather is crappy. I had an OB appt today, and yet another ultrasound of Kellen. He FINALLY cooperated and they got to see everything they needed. And he's head down...at least for now! He weighs 1lb 10oz which is 50th percentile for 24 weeks...right on track! It's hard to believe that I take care of babies much smaller than this at work! The ultrasound tech couldnt get me a good profile picture of his face because he wouldnt be still, but she said he looks just like Cole (so basically just like Justin and nothing like me!). She said she's been doing ultrasounds for so long that she's gotten really good at comparing features and seeing what babies will look like. She said "sorry mom, I think this one looks just like dad too!" Of course all that talk about what he looks like made me anxious to have him here...oh but then I think for half a second that I have an 11 month old and I am happy to wait on Kellen:-) Speaking of that 11 month old...Cole is doing great! I swear he is the sweetest and happiest baby in the world! If Kellen is half as good as Cole has been, we will be so lucky! He still only has his two bottom teeth, but his gums on top are pretty swollen. He's not walking yet, although he's getting a lot more comfortable "cruising" and will let go with one hand and turn around. I'm a firm believer in letting kids hit their milestones in their own time...but I have to say it would be nice on my back if he'd start walking soon! His latest favorite things are: his toy train from Nana (that he pushes the button on to make it move and then crawls around pushing it backwards so it makes an awful clicking noise), blowing bubbles in the bathtub, taking toys out of the toy box and then putting them all back in, climbing on the dishwasher, BANANAS, terrorizing Bella, rambling on about who knows what in his own language, unrolling the toilet paper roll, crawling away laughing hysterically while Justin or I crawls behind him threatening tackles and tickles. He melts my heart with his sweet smiles and wet, open-mouth kisses. Every morning when I go to get him he gives me the biggest most excited smile followed by the longest tightest hug around my neck. There is nothing in this world better than that feeling. Uhh, I can't help but smile just thinking about it. Ok, back to work...
