Jonathan asked Heather if he could make breakfast (eggs, since it is Saturday), and Heather said that he wasn't ready to do it by himself, and do it with Daddy.When I got downstairs, he asked me,...

Good Ol' Home Cooking
I'm so excited about last night's (almost) from scratch Mediterranean dinner success that I have to post! I have come a long way to where I got yesterday. First, when I made this dinner, I would make falafel from a mix, raita (which is actually an Indian name, but I know there's cucumber yogurt... (More)

Favorite Bits
Jonathan's favorite bits recently are Fluorine, Estonia, Great Gray Owl. I'm pretty sure he does know the Estonian flag, but he has now started this game where he goes through them and calls them all "Estonia." I think he just likes to say the word! But yesterday, he was doing that,... (More)

26 Weeks
Had another prenatal appointment yesterday. All is well. She found the heartbeat right away this time, but Jon couldn't find it himself. He is too cautious - but I'd sure rather he be too gentle than too rough! We had to wait a little while because there was a new baby born this morning. He... (More)

The Things Children Say
I just had to post this right now - I am trying not to laugh out loud. Jonathan made some kind of choking/gagging noise, and I asked him if he was ok. He said, "I'm ok. I just had some God bless you in my mouth." (More)

22 Weeks
Had another prenatal appointment this morning. Blood pressure great; measuring a little big, but still within normal. I have felt like all of a sudden the last week or so, my belly has "popped out." Baby was moving so much it took a while to locate the heartbeat, but it was definitely there.... (More)

Jonathan is a Little Boy
He's thinning out and looking older and doing and saying all sorts of extraordinary things. Here's the catch-up. 1/23 - Told a clerk at the grocery store that his favorite movie is my prenatal excercise video! 1/25 - He found a nametag lanyard and uses it as his stethoscope, to measure the...

18 Weeks
Wednesday was the second prenatal appointment. It was just barely starting to snow when we left Pittsburgh, and by the time we got to the small country road where our midwife is, it was a little slippery. Jon is good at driving in snow, but he still missed the turn into their driveway. Our... (More)

Phone, Lotion, Prunes, Prayer, Growing
Jonathan can really have a conversation on the phone now. He even has good one-sided ones when he is just pretending. For example, "Hello, Mrs. Grover! How are you? You're feeling good. Good!" "Hello, Grandma. I love you, too. Bye." On Tuesday, Jonathan asked me to get the lotion for him,... (More)

David spoke of the evil and glory of little... (More)

Random Thought - Grandma's Sweaters
I was talking with a friend the other day about grandmothers knitting and sweaters they give for Christmas. Her comment was, "I loved my grandma, but those things were hideous." Then I related how I always loved the things my grandma knitted for me. I was just thinking about it again recently.... (More)

Christmas and Vacation
Christmas Eve, we went to a church family's party and then had a candlelight service at church. Christmas Day, there was no service (we meet in a school and they didn't want to make the janitor work on Christmas) so we had the day at home. We woke up and opened stockings (sample toothpaste for... (More)

First Prenatal Visit, Third Pregnancy
This morning, Mom, Jonathan and I drove up to the birth center where Jonathan was born for my first prenatal checkup with our midwife. She was so happy to see Jonathan, but he did not understand the part about this being where he was born. (What? He didn't recognize it?!) She said I'm looking... (More)
