Pictures to Come

OK, so I've been bombarded with requests for an update, and I know it's over-due so it's my fault. I've just been so busy and never have my camera handy so I hated to update w/o pictures. I did manage to get some last night of T playing in his bucket on the driveway for one of the last times this year, but now I'm at school so I can't upload the pics til later. Regardless, here's what's been happening in the lives of T and Baby Moore '09 over the past week and a half.

Tegan is still forming "sentences" with 2 and sometimes 3 words, so that's fun to experience. He's becoming very possessive of things meaning that he knows who they belong to, especially when they are his or he WANTS them to be his. For example, a big word right now (other than "NO!:) is "Mine!". He also loves pointing out things that belong to Daddy... just so sweet.

As I mentioned before, Tegan loves books, especially ones that he can interact with. Jess, the book Tails (which I first experienced with you and Eli) is truly one of T's favorites. We read it every night at bedtime. Even though Brendan and I are SO sick of a few books (including Tails) it's SO neat to see Tegan interacting with them and knowing what's going to come next.

T's FAVORITE thing in the world right now is/are trains... he calls them "schoo-schoos." I wish I could have gone with them, but on Tuesday Brendan took T down to the railway by our old townhouse to look at the BIG trains and he said that even though T was very intimidated by the size and sound of them, he loved it. They even got to talk to one of the remote conductors/operaters and he blew the whistle for them and everything. Little Einsteins is Tegan's favorite TV show, as it's on at 7am... typical wake-up time. Apparently Tuesday's episode had trains (and ice cream) in it and Tegan was literally beside himself with excitement. He even needed to have his train book with him while watching! I wish I could have seen it... but I was showering and getting ready while B sat/played with/watched T. On Wednesday, T was SO disappointed that there were no "schoo-schoos" on "i-sties". Poor guy. HA!

As far as T goes... that's really about it... as far as I can remember at least.

Then we come to the future Baby M... things are going well in that area, as far as I'm aware. I haven't' been feeling well and have had to take my anti-nausea medication about once a day for the past week, which is a lot more than I had been for a good while there. I don't know if it's because I've just been so tired between working and not sleeping well (I've been having some CRAZY dreams and nightmares) but whatever it is, it's no fun! :( There's been a lot of something going on in there, I've definitely been feeling a lot of adjusting of the organs, tendons, etc... even the occasional kick :) I have my 16 week check-up on Monday, so I'll have more to report then, but I've had SEVERAL dreams that there are more than one kiddo in there so I've decided that I'm going to make my midwife search around and make sure there's only 1 little kid in there. As far as gender goes, I'm convinced this baby is a girl just because of all the differences in the 2 pregnancies. For example: With T I was sick (like this time) but at 16 weeks I was still not feeling good daily whereas this time I really started to feel better around 12 weeks, even though I'm feeling ucky again. Then there are the dreams... C-R-A-Z-Y! Last, for now, there are the cravings. When I was preggers with T all I wanted was sweet stuff, cookies, pancakes, cereal, bagels, ice cream and DQ Blizzards, etc. This time sweet stuff nearly gags me, it's really weird. We'll have to wait and see.

OK, that's really all for now. I'll get a belly pic soon and post pics of T when I get them uploaded. :) Love to all!
