2. We had our last swimming lesson on Saturday. When it was over the teacher handed out certificates to all the kids and I joked to Bodie that he probably didn't get one since he definitely needs some additional lessons, and then the teacher didn't have one for him! Yikes! She said it was an oversight and quickly made one up for him. Hopefully we'll get to the pool this summer to help him get more used to the water.
3. Saturday afternoon we took our dogs to the dog park - a sort of belated birthday present to Tahj. Bodie was a bit afraid and didn't want to get down for probably the first 15 minutes we were there. He finally warmed up and ran around for awhile, and even petted a cute little puppy. On the way home we stopped for Blizzards at DQ (thankfully Bodie hasn't discovered the wonderful world of ice cream yet!). When we pulled up to the window to pay, Tahj stuck his nose out Curt's window and the employee quickly offered him a free doggy dish of ice cream. Tahj definitely knows how to work it!
4. Sunday we went to Mahoney State Park for an "old west cookout". The food was really yummy (again, Bodie hasn't discovered ribs or apple crisp yet so he feasted on a homemade lunch). Then we headed to a playground there to let Bodie run around and play for awhile. He really had a lot of fun and we cannot wait for the weather to be nicer so we can spend more time at the park.
5. I bought these nail clippers to trim our dogs nails and we tried them out last night. I have to say I am pretty unimpressed. Not only does it give the "green light" where it is pretty obvious you shouldn't cut (poor Deuce did get cut too short once) as a clipper they are tough to use. We are wondering if it is because their poor nails did get very long, and if we had clipped them sooner maybe we wouldn't have had such issues. We are going to give them another chance, and are definitely hoping for better results (so is Deuce!!).
6. We found out last week that Bodie will be the big brother to a little......BOY! I honestly had no feelings about what we were having this time around, so when the tech said boy, it was definitely a surprise. Everything is looking good with the baby. When we got there they had moved my due date up to 8-8, which is a little confusing. I did have an early ultrasound in which the baby measured a little ahead (not an entire week ahead) and at the time - and at all my subsequent visits - I was told my EDD wouldn't move. Then it did. I sort of wonder if it was because I moved my appointment up a week so the sheet could have been filled out to show what my gestational age would have been for my original appointment and not the new one I scheduled, although one would think the people working there would be competent to adjust the paperwork accordingly. I really shouldn't make such a deal out of it though, if I had my original due date the baby would be measuring about 1.5 weeks ahead, and now it is only a few days ahead (Bodie was 9 lb 15.5 oz, 10 days early, so I do grow them big). I scheduled my next appointment with my regular OB (I have to rotate through the practice) so I'll get some reassurance that the moved date is right next time.
The only news to come from the appointment is that I have a low laying placenta, which usually moves up but I'll get another ultrasound at 28 weeks to recheck it. I've read that if it doesn't move, and gets close enough to the cervix you can be diagnosed with placenta previa, and the doctor also mentioned that it can grow into my c-section scar, so hopefully when I am rechecked everything will be fine.
