Last two pictures are a much more accurate view of how these "photo shoots" usually go!
One of Ellison's favorite things right now is the "monkey song". We sing Five Little Monkeys Jumping on the Bed, and she goes crazy and jumps around. It is so cute, but gets tiring! I think I sang that song six times in a row before 7:30 am today...
Singing "monkey song"
E had her last day at "Manda's house" this week, which was what she called daycare. I think she is really going to miss her "people"...she talks about the kids a lot. But she starts at her new place soon and I'm sure she will have a blast with her new people!
Ells is finally starting to move into 24 month/2T clothes now. 18 month stuff didn't last nearly as long as 12 month did. She wore that size from last winter all the way through summer. And she JUST graduated to size 4 diapers - I think she wore 3s for over a year! We haven't weighed her in awhile but I'm guessing somewhere between 22-23 lbs.
Her buddies wear the same size she does...
As far as baby #2 goes, I lost 2 lbs between my 20 week and 24 week appointments. According to the doctor's records I've gained 1 pound, but I'm actually still down from where I was when I found out I was pregnant (4 weeks before my first appointment). Obviously at this point that's not good, so I have to eat eat EAT! Thinking I may try adding some Boost or Ensure into my life as well. Blech.
As I've said before, this pregnancy has been much more difficult between still feeling sick a lot of the time and how much more tired I've been. I'm finally going to give in and send Ellison to daycare more often so that I can catch up on sleep. I have always kept her home on days when I get home from work in the morning and don't have to go back to work that night, but staying up for 30 hours in a row (or more) after working three or four nights in a row just isn't working anymore. It's taken me a year and a half of daycare to get to this point, but it's really not fair to Ellison to have a sleepy, cranky mommy who can't play with her, and it's not fair to the little man if I'm not as healthy as possible. This has been a REALLY hard decision, because obviously I want to spend as much time with Ellison as I can and I hate the idea of her being at daycare when I'm at home sleeping...but I think at least for now, we ALL need this! Hopefully I'll have better news to report after my next appointment. Less than 2 weeks until the glucose tolerance test...
Looking forward to Thanksgiving, even though I work the night before and will have to spend part of the day sleeping. At least both Jay and I have off on Thanksgiving. Hopefully it will help fatten me and baby boy up!
The many uses for pots...cooking, and a spot for watching TV
