Prayer, bumps, bikes, and more…

Filed under: General — admin @ 12:34 pm

Please check out this blog. It is about Chad’s step-brother, his wife, and their family.. Pray for their new little one. Erin was due a week before I am. She had the baby a week ago. They definitely need your prayers right now, although Sidney is doing better than expected so far.

Things haven’t been too exciting around here lately, just pretty normal. I have been working a lot more than usual, which is good for now. I have about 7 patients, which is more than I have had at one time in the past year. That keeps Caleb and I busy in the mornings MWF.

Other than that, we have been trying to find alternate housing in Odessa in order to accommodate a quicker commute for Chad and possibly (hopefully) a larger place for our growing family. We’ll see what happens.* WPG2 Plugin Not Validated ** WPG2 Plugin Not Validated * * WPG2 Plugin Not Validated * Playing catch outside with Chad.

Yesterday after church we enjoyed some time enjoying the cooler 80 degree weather. Caleb had his first big bump on his head. Not bad considering he is over 1.5 years old. We also enjoyed a nice swim in the pool at work, and a bike ride in the evening.

I have another doctor’s appointment on Tuesday to check on the baby.

That’s it for now. Hope the update wasn’t too blah!

I love my friends

Caleb and I made a quick visit on Monday-Tuesday to Robert Lee and Chad’s mom was so kind as to let me invite Laura and Brittney over for lunch on Tuesday. We had a good time chatting, eating, and playing with the babies. I love these girls (and their beautiful children)!!!

First, Caleb had his 18 month check up this past week. Here is what’s new about him:

  • Weight: 17 lb. 14oz (<3%)
  • Height: 30.75 inches (10%) I think.
  • He likes to con me into things by saying: please, mom, please (it is really cute).
  • He likes to say the phrases, “get in the car,” “go away” (not sure what he means by this)
  • He loves to see planes fly overhead.
  • He loves to swing at the park (he can do this for an hour at least).
  • He likes to read books, but more importantly rough-house and play ball.
  • He can point to most body parts (hair, eyes, ears, mouth, chin, lips, nose, shoulders, elbows, arms, back, neck, fingers, hands, legs, toes).
  • He says 40+ words.
  • He has a name for most grandparents and his two aunts…and says them periodically throughout the day
  • He loves to play on the computer. We only look at this website for the ABC’s. He asks to do this all the time.

Also, I had my doctor’s appointment this week, followed by the 20 week sonogram. We were once again undecided on whether we were going to find out the gender, but Chad and I could both tell what we were having!

We are having another BOY! We are very excited (we would be either way).

That’s it for now. Have a good weekend!
