Baby Update #2

There are two stories at the bottom of this post that you HAVE to read!

I had my 14 week appointment today and they did an ultrasound to measure the baby and confirm my due date. We have a pretty old scanner, so this is the best I was able to do. Maybe if you click on the picture, you'll be able to see it better. The top picture shows almost the whole body of the baby. It's hands were by its head the whole time. The bottom picture shows the baby crossing its feet. The toes are so clear to see! The ultrasound lady couldn't get over them. Anyway, she didn't even try to check the sex of the baby, but because Skylar wasn't able to be with me, I didn't ask her to either. I'm going back in four weeks to check the sex of the baby and Skylar will be able to attend that appointment which is always fun to see his expression when we find out! I also got to hear the heartbeat this time, and it was very strong, so I'm relieved about that. My DR told me that I am a very boring patient because I never complain about anything and all of my labs and tests come back perfect. Although, he did say he likes my deliveries because they are so dramatic. So, my due date is Feb. 25th 2009, but because I have c-sections, I will have this baby no later than Feb. 18th.

And, for the people with strong stomachs, read on! (Journaling purposes!!)

While I was writing the post above, Slade decided that he needed to go poo. He was in his room playing with Sadie, who I babysit a few times a week, so of course he waited until the last minute to run to the bathroom. He had already pooped a little bit in his underwear, so as I was carefully taking them off, as to not drop the load inside, Slade moved and the load fell out and landed on the floor!!! AAHH!! That is when I lost it and started gagging, then lost all of my lunch in the sink. Well, the sink wasn't holding up so great, and with Slade on the toilet, I had no choice but to rush to the tub. So, now that I have recovered and was able to clean up Slade's mess, my sink is clogged and my husband is at work. Do I ask my neighbor, who is a friend, to help me unclog it??

And another story that cannot go untold!

Skylar was in charge of the kids last night because I was at a Scentsy party. He told the kids to stay inside while he went to the garage to cut a few pieces of wood. When Skylar was done, he tried to open the door but it was locked! He knocked and knocked and yelled for Slade to unlock it, but all he heard were the kids screaming and crying. He remembered that he had left the sliding glass door unlocked earlier, so he went around to try it, but Slade had locked that too! We always keep the front door locked, so that wasn't an option. He stood at the back door, knocking and knocking for Slade, but he only saw Daisy and she was just wondering around crying! Skylar waited a few minutes, and then Slade finally appeared and unlocked the back door to let Skylar in. So, what Slade said happened was that he climbed into the DRYER and Daisy shut the dryer door trapping Slade inside!!! Slade said he cried and cried because there were monsters in the dryer, but then he kicked really hard and the door opened. Believe me, he will never do that again! We are grateful it ended the way it did, because it could have turned out absolutely horrible! We now have a hide-a-key! And, I figured out why Slade climbed in the dryer in the first place. We were watching Air Bud today, and the girl hides in the laundry thing in the hallway and when that part came, Slade said, "She's hiding in the dryer! That's not good!!" He's seen that movie maybe twice before, but other than being a boy, I couldn't figure out why he would try that.
