How you doin'?

We are good. Keila is becoming a chatter box with her own language, and I am just nauseas. I am eating about every 2 hours...or trying to at least. So far I think it is helping. We all had a form of the stomach flu last week...that was no fun! It affected Keila a lot more than Jared and I, but we all are doing fine now. I had my first Doctor appointment on Thursday. The baby was measuring 3 days ahead of the estimated due date...which any due date is always estimated anyway. So I think my midwife is changing the due date to the 3rd instead of the 6th. Oh, that's another thing I have decided to do a little differently this time...use a midwife. I had seen a midwife at my Doctors office before when I couldn't get into my regular Doctor last minute, and I really liked her. I also really liked my Doctor too, but decided that I would go with a midwife this time. I think it will be nice to have that support and everything during labor and delivery instead of the Dr coming in just for delivery. My midwife is also a certified Doula, so that will be nice.

Ok, more about Keila. Like I said she is starting to talk a lot more with her own little sounds and words. She is also showing some interesting attitude...I think it is left over from when she wasn't feeling well, but we will see how it ends up. She is still her happy self, but sometimes she gets very upset when she doesn't get to do what she wants...she lets you know how she feels!! She also loves her Papa (my dad). He was just here last night and today...she hears his name and starts giggling. It is very cute. I also watch some of the baby shows on TLC once in a while, and Keila says 'Baby' (sounds more like Bebe) when she hears the crying of the little newborns. I think she has just heard me tell her about babies when we see them and when she hears them and is starting to associate crying with the word Baby. I don't know. She also loves her Doo gees...as she calls them. Very cute.

The only news I have...

is that I'm pregnant! I am just about 6 weeks along, so still in the very beginning stages. I told most everyone around this time period when I was pregnant with Kiela, so I thought I would let you all know now too! We are very excited! I am doing okay, just so hungry all the time, and if I don't eat then I get a little nauseas. I have had some sort of cold this past week, which hasn't been fun. I am due October 6th, really close to Keila's Birthday!! I guess we will be doing combo parties from here on out.

Keila has been doing pretty well lately. Talking a whole bunch more. Saying 'Hi' to everything when she wakes up in the morning. Her tooth is still bothering her, but it's not as bad. She is starting to not want to cuddle before bedtime...so sad. She used to lay on me for a couple minutes after story time and the lights go out...now she just wants to be let go, so I just put her down in her crib and she goes to sleep. It's good though, I was wondering how long I would be doing that and treating her more like a baby than a toddler. She loves to sit on my lap for other things, so I know I will still get that cuddling somehow!

Oh, here's the shirt I made for Keila to wear to tell Jared!
