16 Weeks to Go!!

Went to my OB appt today. Everything looks great. Baby Girl is growing and will be here FOR SURE no later than July 21st. Maybe earlier, but not later! So nice to have a date to look towards. I go back on April 26th for another appointment and sonogram to check on her growth! Looking forward to seeing her again.

Tricks and Updates

Just so I don't forget when some exciting things occurred: 1) Jordan can ride her tricycle all on her own - and FAST! She loves to go fast and have us chase her and then she turns into the grass and says "BOOM" while lifting her legs in the air. This gives her the giggles. 2) Jordan can finally count 1 to 10 consistently every time. We had a tough time getting 4, 5, and 6 in there. She preferred to skip from number 3 to number 7 every time she counted. But we are golden now! :) And of course, now they are working on counting the teens too. Eleventeen is a favorite! HA! 3) Jordan recognizes the letter 'J' and 'W' and "her" letters for Jordan Wheelis. She knows her name and can tell us to spell it with a 'J' and an 'O', but we don't have the rest of the letters known quite yet. 4) Jordan is a JUMPER! She has really gotten good at jumping, hopping, skipping, running, and her throwing and catching has gotten so much better the past three weeks too! She can throw hard and fast! 5) Jordan can sing several songs all on her own now - her favorites are Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star, Wheels on the Bus, and the past two days she has been singing Jesue Loves Me over and over (stalling at bed time). 6) Lastly, Jordan has gotten to be some what of a regular in Thinkin' Time at school. At least in my eyes. As a child who rarely got in trouble, spanked, or spent time in thinkin' time this has been a little new for me. Jordan has gone to thinkin' time 3 times at school in the past month. Mostly she has gone because she wasn't listening to her teachers (and perhaps told them No), and yesterday she and her buddy Emily were going for the same toy, and I understand that Jordan may have grabbed Emily and given her a scratch! Yikes! So, we are having lots of talks about listening, obeying, and playing nice with friends; otherwise, Mommy and Daddy are sad. I may have to prepare myself for a little girl FULL of personality and ENERGY!

Mexico




Quotable Quotes

The past few weeks have been pretty entertaining..........the phases and things that Jordan tells us definitely make us smile. Just a few:

"I'm too busy."
"Hockey players go to Thinkin' Time. They scratch noses."
"Nana Noni brings me a prize."
"Can Birdie come?"
"No, I want three M&Ms."
"The skunk is stinky. Smells like poopie."
"No, those are baby toys!"

Mexico Trip

Mark and I took a 4 day weekend trip to Mexico with some of his work collegues.

Girls, girls - We Love our Girls

Confirmed - We are having another Baby Girl. Can't wait for July to get here so we can meet her! Jordan came with me this morning to the sonogram appointment and doctor appointment. No meltdowns or temper tantrums. Plus, we had breakfast together too. What a nice morning for us! Healthy and perfect little girl on the way! We'll go back in 1 month for our next check up. What a blessing for our family.

Conversation....

Mom: Jordan, what are you going to do tomorrow with Mommy?
Jordan: Go to doctor. Mommy Tummy.
Dad: What are you going to see?
Jordan: A picture.
Mom: What is the picture of?
Jordan: A baby in Mommy's tummy.
Mom: What baby?
Jordan: Baby _________!

Yes, I was so proud. Without any prompting, Jordan told Mark what the baby's name is going to be!!! I'm not sure that Mark was as proud since the name I have been teaching Jordan all week is not his #1 pick. It has to the name now, right? Jordan has named *her*!! :) But, it sure did make me smile to hear Jordan say *her* name clearly to Daddy!
