Okay okay, here's the house!

I owe this blog pictures of the house. So here we are! There is still a LOT to do but I am pleased with the progress so far enough to finally post some pics :)

First, here's Triggy!!!

Baker's pride and joy - our TV. Was on the floor for a long time but we finally got the stand!


The light from all the windows is great, I hardly ever turn on lights!

Entrance to the bedroom - to the right is a really great under the stairs closet, to the left is our backdoor.

Hope you enjoyed the pictures of our house! We love it!!!

17 months!

Triggy is now 17 months old! YAY! He's doing so great. I weighed him on the King's scale and it came up at 21.5lbs - I don't know how accurate that is but if it's close, I am THRILLED. That would be so wonderful. He's doing well in his therapy, he has it once a week and he's making progress. We're wearing shoes every day now and after some adjustments to having stuff on his feet all the time, I think it's helping him to get closer to walking. He seems more confident and he's more tolerant of me holding his hands and letting him walk across a room. He used to just take 5 steps and want to sit down, and now he seems more motivated to do it and thinks it's fun. I need to take some pictures of Trig for 17 months but these below are close to his 17 month birthday.

I am doing well, I am ALMOST as pregnant as I have ever been. Today I am 32 weeks and 3 days, Trig was born at 32 weeks 6 days. I had the abruption and entered the hospital at 32 weeks 3 days, wow, huh? But things are really going well for me (knock on wood) and I am thankful for each day that I remain pregnant.

Baker is also doing well - his hours so far aren't too bad but he is certainly tired at the end of his days. He's off ALL WEEKEND this weekend, yay! We have an Anesthesiology party on Saturday, and Monday is our 7 year anniversary!!!!

32 weeks 2 days


Fun with Mimi!


I miss you, Aunt Kari!


Sitting like a big boy


Baker's first day!

We moved!

Yep, we moved! Closing went just fine and we moved in. So we've just been spending every single day trying to get settled. Unfortunately, while we have purchased a good deal of furniture, it's not here yet! Bedroom set should be here next week, TV stand hopefully soon (right now our new 55" TV is sitting on the floor with no stand!!!) and dining room furniture not for another month or so. Roland, our painter, comes tomorrow to paint all 3 bedrooms upstairs and the half bath downstairs. We're watering a good deal to keep our grass alive since it's relatively new and the previous owners weren't such great caretakers. We're getting some good rain from this hurricane that's coming through, though.

Trig is doing great, he had his ECI evaluation today and he qualified for services so he'll start physical therapy and cognitive therapy soon and he'll start meeting with a nutritionist as well. He just needs to work on a few things, so I am glad to have help with that!

Baker officially starts his residency tomorrow. Wow. It's been so great having him around. Luckily, he starts out in the PICU which shouldn't be that bad - no call and one day off a week. I'll miss having him around so much, though, and Triggy really will, too. So good luck, Baker, we love you!

I am doing well - I made it to 30 weeks! I am very happy with that milestone. I have been having some trouble with dizziness and weakness, it just feels like my blood pressure is really low even though it's really ok. Doc suggested support hose (lots of fun) and LOTS of fluid. So, we'll see if that helps.

No diaper for me....


I threw it on the floor! :)

Moving along!

So we are going to close on our new house on Friday June 18th and hopefully move on Saturday. VERY exciting! It's going to be stressful but well worth our trouble, I believe. We're ready to have our very own house!

Trig had his 15 month checkup recently:
Weight - 18lbs 10oz
Height - 29 inches

We were a bit disappointed in the stats. He's in the 3rd percentile for height but several pounds below the chart for weight. He was also referred for Early Childhood Intervention services due to the fact that he is a bit behind developmentally. He really has been on par with his peers up until 12 months at which point he seems to have fallen off a bit. We'll see what the interventionists have to say in a few weeks at his assessment. Personally, I think it's a good thing for him to be assessed and I'm thinking that they'll be able to help me with his eating issues as well.

So in other news, with permission from my doctor due to the VERY large amount of support and help I would receive while there, we traveled to Rockport, TX for a family vacation. Baker, Triggy and I went down a night before everyone else to get settled and spend some time together. Then the craziness ensued - at one point we had up to 18 people at the house in 5 bedrooms and 5 baths. Luckily, we had one of those - a room dubbed the "dungeon" because of it's lower location and, well, it's status as a less than favorable room. But it was PERFECT for Baker, Triggy and I. Trig had his own little area and we hung a sheet between his bed and our bed so that he couldn't see us at night (which has disturbed him in the past). And, due to a VERY loud window air conditioning unit, Trig was able to nap while people were whooping it up right outside of our door in the canal. It really was a good time. So as soon as we got back from the vacation, it really hit that we were closing in a week! Lots to do!

Enjoy some pictures:
