Wearing my Shoes

Outside!

Charlie wants to be outside.  All. The. Time.  We hear "Ouside! Ouside!"  very often.

And when we say no - it's cold, it's early, not right now - Charlie breaks out the tears.  I just hope he still feels this way when he is 7 and video games are cooler than looking at neighborhood dogs.

Trip to the Zoo

Athens has a zoo.  I have lived here for seven years and had no idea. So we decided to go check it out.  It is very small in scale, but Charlie enjoyed it.

Checking out the alligator and turtles.  Tur-tull!

Pointing out the owls. 

The zoo has two bald eagles.  I think this was Marc's favorite part.

Checking out the black bear habitat.  What does a bear say? "RAWR"

30 Weeks

I am 30 weeks pregnant today.  It's hard to believe that we will have a baby so soon!  My reflux had gotten better but has now gotten much worse.  Friday night I couldn't go to sleep, as the bile kept rising.  And I woke up three times with a different Tums tablet in my hand.  I was sleep-reflux-treating.  My back is starting to hurt more often and I am getting more tired.  I am great until about 2:30pm every day, and after then I'm wiped.

Evening with Daddy

Wednesday evening I had an event, so Marc and Charlie had a boys night.  And according to Marc, Charlie was feeling great.  He didn't sit still all night.

Marc said he sat here for three seconds before climbing down and on to the next thing.

Marc heard some noises in the hall and this is what he found.  They were in the dark.

Laughing at his Shadow

Bubbles!

Grandma Dot came for the weekend, so Charlie got lots of his favorite things - Grandma loving, outside and bubbles!

29 Weeks

I am 29 weeks pregnant today.  I went to the doctor for my every-other-week visit, and I'm doing fine.  Gained another pound and the baby's heartbeat sounds good.  I am having a harder time getting to sleep but sleeping okay once I start snoozing. My reflux is also very bad when I lay down, too.  And the Tums aren't doing much to help. And I am much more emotional.  Poor Marc!

Charlie is starting to say sentences we (kind of) understand.  My sit wiff Mama (I want to sit with Mama) Home daddy doggie. (I want to go home where I will see Daddy and the dogs)  More crackers. (No explanation needed!)
