The Baby has Turned

So today I went to the doctor and we discovered that the baby has turned and is now sitting with her head down. It kind of made me really realize that the baby is probably going to be born before too long. Also I don't think we are going to be moving out of our apartment before the baby is born so Daniel and I sat in his room for a long time trying to decide how to fit a toddler bed, a book shelf, a changing table, crib and dresser into one small 10x10 room. Daniel did emphatically tell me it was his room so I can't wait to see what happens when the baby moves in.

The doctor did inform me that no matter what I did there probably wasn't anything I could do to stop the absurd swelling that seems to plague me. I just hope that the swelling doesn't get as bad as it did with Daniel.

Speaking of Daniel. Since it has been warmer I let him play out on the balcony. He was so excited. He has been finding dead wasps in various places and he'll come running in to tell me "bug, bug, bug! Need to sweep it up." Then we sweep them up and throw them over the side of the balcony onto the ground. He thinks it is really funny. I am just glad he understands not to touch them or pick them up. I think he would take it personally if he got stung.

Yeah for a turned baby - although sometimes I think it is not so fun cause that means their feet hit your ribs. Boo! Good luck with the room rearranging. And yeah for warm weather! Anna and I have been playing lots in our backyard. She likes to find spiders...only they ARE alive and she DOES touch them. Ahhh!

in case you have not heard

Baby Webb #3 is on the way. Here the baby is. We are going to try to be strong and not find out the sex at the ultra sound. So if you have an opinion, about the sex, feel free to share it. I am sure Jason will put a vote up. So far he wants names like "gunner" and "ruby." I told him Gunner might not go so well with Alice and Daniel, but who am I to stop an opinion? Oh wait. I was sick off and on for a few weeks but feel pretty good now. This is the baby at 10 weeks. We are about 13.5 weeks today. Due the end of February. I guess if we are lucky it could be a leap day baby. Daniel saw the baby in the ultra sound and was totally not surprised. His comment was "is that the baby I knew was growing in your tummy?" Alice was disturbed and cried and didn't eat for about two days. Then Daniel reminded me of a few months ago when he heard a voice from heaven telling him we needed another baby. He told me that "heavenly father w...

Sitting Up

Alice has begun sitting up. She can sit for about a minute on her own and then for about five minutes supported. Grass is also her new favorite thing and she will grab the blanket that she sits on and move it so that she can grab the grass. She can currently pull of fist fulls of grass with no hesitation. Although she did face plant in the grass and decided that the grass was not where her head should be. Daniel loves raspberries. He loves to run outside and pick raspberries straight from the bushes. Then he loves to run around the yard at grandma's house screaming. Alvin the dog is actually more afraid of Daniel than the other way around. Our house is coming along and hopefully within the month so we can get more settled. Yellowstone was a successful trip and our kids had a blast. Daniel could not see out the binoculars so eventually we just started pointed out animals that he could see on his own which were: buffalo. Good things seeing four million buffalo was exciting...

Ikea beat the rainy day

My kids love the dirt. They love being outside while I try to plant and do everything in the dirt. Alice rolls in, runs in, and eats the dirt. The grossest thing I have found lately is her with her mouth full of mud and a pebble in her hand and big smiles on her face. To beat that I have found her now three times with dirt in the mouth. Yuck! Today it rained. This has got to be the fifteenth day this month that it rained and my kids could not stand it. So eventually I told the kids to get their shoes (which makes Alice run to the door) and that we were going to IKEA. IKEA is a great way to spend the day. Daniel and Alice played in the kids rooms that were set up and ran through that little hole in the wall they have between two of the rooms. They loved it. One of the rooms had a slide in it which Alice discovered that she loved. Down the slide she went, over and over and over again. Then we came home and the crying and tantrums started up right away again. But for those two...
