Today Kim had an ultrasound for Baby #2. It was just as cool as it was with Jayden to see all the pieces and parts of Baby #2. I’m sure that all babies look the same when they’re inside. Take for example, picture 1 (Baby #2) and picture 2 (Jayden). They both look like aliens. At any rate, everything’s looking normal and we are quite pleased.
Another cool thing happened Sunday. Jayden finally took his own steps to and from Kim and me. We couldn’t be any more pleased. 
Well, yeah. What can I say, welcome back. It’s been a while. Seems like not much has happened since my last writing. The new year has worn off and all that jazz. But, in reality there has been quite a bit that’s taken place. No, Jayden’s still not walking on his own, but he’s a lot closer. He’s walking around the ottoman with a 3-4 inch safety zone just in case he needs to grab hold of it. He does have an occasional sprint from one of us to the couch. He stands on top of the love seat with us by himself and thinks he’s big stuff. He likes to get into things…pots and pans and shoes.
Monday he had fever and woke up at least ever hour on the hour that night and then Tuesday night he was up even more. Needless-to-say, Kim and I appreciate a good night’s sleep and are happy that he’s better. We think part of it is because of some new teeth coming in.
Jayden’s saying a few words now. He has always liked saying, “Done” when he or someone else finishes something. He’s saying car some and after watching Saturday morning cartoons, does an occasional, “Arrggh,” in a pirate context. He shakes his head when he means yes and sometimes when he means no. We hope he keeps that up.
Baby #2 is coming along nicely. Kim filled me in yesterday that she’s now able to feel it move, so tonight I got to feel it kicking. Next Tuesday we get to go in for the first ultrasound. Wonder what it’s going to be…a boy or a girl? Hmmm. Oh the suspense.
Well, time to grab that sleep.
Well, it’s time. Time to let you all know that Jayden’s going to be a big brother. Isn’t that something! Kim, Jayden, and I went for her first Doctor’s visit today and everything is going smooth. The new lime (that’s the size of it right now) had a heart rate of 160 which is great! Kim’s been doing pretty well this week as prior weeks she’s been feeling nauseated. But, she still is pretty tired…she could go to bed at 9 and some nights before that. She likes snack time too. Our due date is June 28, 2006, so mark your calendars.
Jayden’s been practicing being a big brother these past two months. Kim’s watching her cousin’s baby, Kellen, two days a week. At first Jayden couldn’t figure out what the deal was, but he’s getting better at it now. In fact, now he knows how to get Kim’s attention. As soon as she starts to feed Kellen, Jayden makes a mad dash for the stairs. Now, that would be fine and all, but he still hasn’t mastered the last step yet, so Kim has to go stop him before he goes up. Jayden’s getting almost there with walking. If we start walking with him holding his hand and then let go as he’s walking towards the couch, he’ll sprint for the couch or love seat. Maybe by Christmas? He likes to keep us guessing.
