Being a toddler
"Mom, will you marry me?" Brendan asked while getting him dressed after a bath the other night. I just about melted. Toddlers say the cutest things. He followed up with a proper ring in the shape of the letter Q two days later. :)
Things around here are good; we had a nice Thanksgiving trip to Sedona for a few nights. Lou and I made the mistake of waking Brendan from a 3 hour nap before Thanksgiving dinner and boy was that a bad choice! Other than the untimely tantrum we had a fun trip.
Our home is ready for the holidays inside and out with the exception of the tree which we may tackle today. The previous owners of the house left a slew of lights in the huge evergreen and it is almost like having a big xmas tree in our front yard.
Brendan enjoys hearing the song 'Santa Claus is Coming to Town' and is especially intrigued by the part where "he sees you when you are sleeping." When asked what he wants for Christmas without hesitation he said binoculars. We were a little surprised but gotta hand it to him for coming up with a creative gift on the spot.
We will be using a midwife not an OB for future prenatal care. Our family went in together last week for our first visit. We really like how the office is child friendly and more of a relaxed setting. Mary the midwife also radiates confidence- I suppose that happens after delivering over 2000 babies! We heard a strong heartbeat and although I was only 16 weeks, my uterus was measuring 20 weeks! I immediately attributed it to a hearty Thanksgiving however I was reassured it was to be expected for a 2nd pregnancy. We have an ultrasound scheduled after Christmas and I still am torn whether I want to know the sex or not.
