Baby , Shoes, Toys & Spring

Monday evening my hubby & I went for our 21 week ultrasound while my in-law’s watched & played with our son. I don’t remember the ultrasound so long with our son as this one did but then the technician seemed to take a lot more individual body part measurements. I even started falling asleep at one point! (LOL) The baby was moving around a lot which you could clearly see on the ultrasound! The fun thing was seeing & feeling the baby move at the same time. Ever since the baby started moving last Thursday, it’s been moving regularly & getting stronger every day. Last night, my hubby even thought he felt the baby move when it was on a little rampage.


Tuesday morning my son & I ran some errands around town. We went to the shoe store where we measured my son’s feet to discover that he was a whole size bigger! Man, does he grow fast! He was very good about sitting & trying on three different pairs of shoes. Finally we selected on a pair of gym shoes & closed-toe sandals (to protect his toes since he’s always running). Now I have never had a problem finding a pair of shoes at Payless but for some reason, this time I couldn’t find anything. I knew the basic requirements I wanted & needed for my next pair of shoes (partly because of the pregnancy). I wasn’t specific about the look or color. I just needed something in my requirements that was neutral to wear with anything on a day to day basis. I was puzzled at how I couldn’t find anything. I did end up finding a pair of flip-flops with fabric material between the toes that would be useful. Ah well.

Next stop was our cell phone provider where I was able to exchange the battery on my new cell phone. It was having problems keeping a charge even without using the phone. The new phone battery seems to be working fine now.

We then stopped at the coffee shop next door where my son & I sat down by the fireplace for a snack of lemon poppy seed & banana bread. Then it was potty-time where he sat down real nice & went potty like a big boy!

The last stop was Target where we picked up some birthday cards & a new shelving unit with various sized containers for all the small toys in our family room. As we left the store, my son fell fast asleep sitting up in the cart. When we got home, I put it together easily while my son napped.

Today we drove with my hubby to his doctor’s appointment. While we were waiting, my son used the restroom after mommy. He went potty all by himself & kept his diaper dry! Afterwards we picked up an apple cinnamon coffee cake, grabbed a quick bite to eat & started to head home. It was then that my son told us he had to go potty! So we pulled over to the closest fast food restaurant while he held it. My hubby took him inside where our son went potty AGAIN still keeping his pull-up dry! Yeah! That’s such a big accomplishment for our son. He’s good about saying if he needs to go & going potty when we’re out & about. Now if only he would do that at home! LOL

Although the weather has been icky & a bit chilly today, the flowers in our front yard our starting to bloom. I think we’re okay to plant our seasonal flowers any day now. It always seems to brighten up the front yard more.

In the meantime, this baby is bringing on sudden periods of fatigue. I’ll be fine most the time & then two minutes later, I’m falling asleep!
