Ob appt

Today was my first official OB appointment...finally. I got a trial of some new medicine, so here's hoping.

We didn't hear the heartbeat, but the baby did roll over while listening.

Today

Today was my first day of classes. They went fine. Then Isaac and I came home and took very nice naps.

Isaac has started to pretend throwing up when I am. It's funny. And gross. But it gives him something to do while I'm incapacitated.

Friday: snow and showers

This afternoon was much warmer than it has been the past few days. Combined with a gigantic snow bank at the end of the driveway, Isaac and I went out to shovel.

I managed to get the bank down enough that Ben could get into the driveway, but our driveway has narrowed some more...now you need to line up the car well before you can get in as it is just bigger than one car width. I tried to do more, but the snow was too tightly packed.

By this time Isaac had run up and down the driveway several times. Since the snow was melting, it was perfect for a snowman. So I made one while Isaac ran up and down the driveway a few more times. We also threw a snowball, hid rocks, walked on snow, and climbed some snow mountains. Isaac was ready to keep playing, but the rainiest stuff started to comedown harder so we needed to go inside.

This evening I was going to give him his bath and he was having none of it. This was the second bath in a row that he has refused to take. He'd rather go sit on the toilet than take a bath, and he never wants to sit on the toilet. In the end we took a shower together. He was fine with that and I needed to take a shower anyway. But it's weird...we didn't have any traumatic bath experiences, he just stopped wanting to take a bath.

Frogs and turtles

Isaac wanted me to draw a frog today. It looked like a turtle.
Ben drew a frog. It looked like it was ready for dissection.
Ben drew an alive frog. It looked like a turtle.

What about you? Can you draw a frog that looks like a frog (without looking at a picture)?

Monday: winter weather

We had a big storm come yesterday.  We've had quite a bit of snow, but we got a lot on Sunday.  Everything was canceled today.  I decided not to try and go into work, even though today was my day to try and get as much ready as possible.  

So Ben and I were working from home (or trying to) and I check my email...Hope is canceling classes Tuesday and Wednesday!  Woot-woot!  I haven't had a real snow day in ages.  Also, since my last day of classes during a week is on Wednesday, I don't need to continue to try and prep!  Well, I'll probably go in on Wednesday to prep.  We'll see what tomorrow looks like and I might drop Isaac off at day care.

It was funny to watch the cancellation page throughout the day.  All sorts of random things were closing down...libraries, fitness centers, dentist offices.

Here's a picture of Isaac last night on our deck.  It's gotten much deeper since then.

Love

I had an unexpected throw up today. Well, not that unexpected but it got everywhere. I made it to the kitchen sink, but the paper towels had recently been used up. Isaac was behind me saying, "uh-oh" in a worried voice, so I asked him to get me some toilet paper.

I wasn't sure what would come of my request, but Isaac ran off. I thought it was towards his bathroom and wondered if a trail of toilet paper was going to be coming out...he's not very good at tearing it. But then I heard some running in the opposite direction, towards our bathroom.

A bit later Isaac brings me a whole roll of toilet paper. I was proud of him and felt quite loved.
