This baby is a mover! I feel like he's moving all the time...and while it might be very normal, I didn't feel Isaac this much. (Isaac had an anterior placenta, which just means that I didn't feel him move as much. I was kind of hoping for the same time.) Last night the baby kept kicking Ben too. I felt a little bad for him, but...not too much. :)
It is fun to watch my shirt ripple though.

Tuesday: keys
Last night Isaac was playing with one of my old purses. He's played with it a lot; I thought it was empty (except for the two cat toys in it). Anyway, he's shaking it trying to get something out and a key falls out!
Now, normally this would be really cool. However, last night it was super cool as he has been very into keys and locking and unlocking stuff the last few days. So finding a key was super cool! He spent a good part of today "locking" and "unlocking" doors; several times I had to wait to enter a room so that Isaac could unlock it for me first. He also learned how easy it can be to lose your keys as he spent quite a bit of time looking for a lost key. (I'm not sure where it is right now either...nor do I have an approximate idea of where it might be. We might be in trouble.)
I also keep meaning to post a monthly update for Isaac but just don't feel well enough or am too busy around the end of the month. Briefly, he also really likes zip up sweatshirts, watching me work in the kitchen, doing exercises with Dad, his stuffed animals: Frog, E-E, and Mama's E-E. (Yes, it's name seems to be Mama's E-E. When I'm around, I get to hug that monkey.) He likes to share with Ben and me. Potty training is a little rough lately, possibly due to the diarrhea last week. He's been waking up earlier lately, which is mostly just annoying...it's not so early that I can tell him to go back to sleep, but earlier than I want to get up. He often wants to know right away where Ben is. He likes going out, but is immediately curious when we're going to be going back home. He finally has 1,2,3 down pat (along with 7,8,9,10), but 4,5, and 6 are still a bit troublesome. It doesn't bother him though since you only need 1,2,3 to start a race. And he's still a very happy kid (unless I'm making him put on his own pants. He doesn't like that at all!)

Monday: baby
I had a baby appointment today. The heartbeat was 145 and I'm measuring at 25.5 weeks. A little large but not a big deal. (I'll admit, I just hope it means that the baby will come early. It probably means that I've carried a child before.)
Saturday night: dream
I had a dream that Isaac sued Ben and me for emotional ..uh, I forgot the word...problems due to taking away his pacifier. A field agent swept in at day care and the workers couldn't protest because she was too high up. She asked the kids if they wanted to sue and helped them write their name down.
Needless to say, I was rather upset. And annoyed, as I would then have to go through the process of getting Isaac's name removed from the thing. What kind of justice system would let a two year old sue his parents??

Friday: today
Although I missed a lot of sleep last night (Isaac woke up early with diarrhea again) I felt as though I was doing ok and being productive. Then Isaac wanted to watch TV ("Watch Why?"...thanks Dusty...) and I usually try and interact with him while watching it. But I feel asleep half way through it and through all of George.
After nap we took a walk and played outside a bit because the weather was lovely! It also kept Isaac from messing up his room...while I feel that I was productive today the only way that you can currently tell is by looking at Isaac's clean room.
And now I'm exhausted again and seriously considering going to sleep. But since it will take so much effort to get ready for bed I'll probably put it off.

Thursday: dear Isaac
Dear Isaac,
You were a wonderful kid today, entertaining yourself with random things or things I wanted to do too. You also figured out how to get on the toilet by yourself today, so that's a huge step. (Next time don't brag about how many treats you've given yourself for doing so though. Tomorrow they will be rationed.)
However, I'd like to remind you that you need to chew and swallow your food so that you don't throw up as it sets off a chain reaction in this household right now. Dad managed to stop the chain, but just barely.
Love,
Your still slightly sick Mom

Tuesday: our day
Ahhh...today. Good moments and not so good moments.
Isaac slept in, so that was rather nice since it took me a long while to get back to sleep last night. He proceeded to empty the contents of his intestines into the toilet. (He actually did a really good job today getting yucky stuff into to toilet...although by midmorning I'm not sure there was much left.) I called the nurse and she gave us some advice, but it would mean a trip to the store.
At 9:30 we were about ready to go to the store and even had three of our four shoes on. Then Isaac decided that his forth shoes should be put away. I thought about life, and decided it would be much better if I lay down and rested...even if Isaac did only have one shoe on. So it took us several additional minutes to get out the door, but we finally did. We got all the recommended food and more diapers.
We got home and I was still exhausted. Isaac watched some TV while I dozed. Then lunch time! Isaac still wasn't all that hungry and was happy to be done and take a nap. He fell asleep almost right away and slept for 3.5 hours when I finally woke him up.
We played for a bit, the pile of "Dad's stuff" growing larger and larger by the door to the garage. Dad got a giraffe, a piece of plain donut, several books, a sheep, and two blocks. Isaac is big into sharing and taking turns with us lately, although I doubt that he feels the same way about kids his age. At one point I said, "I need to get some medicine" and Isaac looked up at me and then ran off to get it for me without being asked. What a nice kid. He was also into locking and unlocking things, especially the flaps in one of his books. The imaginary keys were in a different room though, so every time we wanted to open another flap it would take a few minutes. I was ok with this plan though and enjoyed the rest.
Isaac did finally eat pretty well for dinner...the Crispex and yogurt hit the spot. The end of the day involved a quick shower. Isaac's intestines still don't seem to be working quite right so I didn't want to risk a bath, but he stank. Throughout the day he was his normal happy self, so that was wonderful at least.
