Trouble at daycare....

Blake doesn't usually cause too much trouble at daycare, but he is a curious boy.

The other day, as Mary was feeding baby Brennen, she happened to look outside and saw Blake and Sadie Jo out on the swingset...and she hadn't let them out to play! Turns out...Blake figured out how to unlock the sliding glass door, and they decided to go out to play!! So, the next day Mary put an alarm on the door, and sure enough, within 15 minutes of him being there, he opened the door. When the alarm went off he says "shut the door! shut the door!" But it's funny how he says it, it's "shut theeee door!" In general, that is one of his favorite sayings, and we aren't sure why. Whenever he goes by a door, big or small, he says "shut thee door". We get a kick out of it!

He got bit once by Sadie this week, but up until then, she hadn't bit him in about 3 weeks. Hopefully she is getting past that stage.

Today we put up Blake's new swingset with the help of Grandpa Regentin and Grandma and Grandpa Arbaugh. It's just about done..just need to put the tarps up tomorrow! I sure hope he enjoys it....for MANY, MANY years!!

Ultrasound on Tuesday...can't believe it's almost here already!!

Tom's Goal/Dream

Had my first baby dream last night...it was a boy. We were home from the hospital, and I asked Tom, "well, should we call the family and tell them we had the baby now?" We also didn't have a name for the baby at this point!!

Tom had a goal again this preganancy to get down to 220 by the time the baby got here. He started out at 245 and hit his goal today..he was down to 219.6!!!!! I am very proud of him. He has worked very hard, running on the ellipitcal almost every night for up to 60 minutes at a time...makes me feel like a lazy slug!!! Good for him though...I hope I have 1/2 of that motivation after the baby gets here!!!

My last doctor's appointment was last week, May 11th. Everything went well. The heartbeat was around 145, and I've gained about 6 pounds so far. The ultrasound is scheduled for June 2nd!! I can't wait to find out what we are having!! I've been feeling pretty good so far, with the exception of these allergies/cold. It's going on the 5th week now, it's getting to be ridiculous.

Blake is loving to be outside. The weather has still not been the greatest, but if it were up to him, he would be outside 24/7. He has a fit when it's time to come in. It's one of the few times that we see tears from him.

We celebrated my 2nd mother's day last weekend. We ended up going with John and Florence over to Aunt Jane and Uncle Ed's since Lynn was home from Florida for the weekend. Tom and I got each other tickets to a Tigers game for our Mothers/Fathers Day gifts. We went this past Saturday, May 16th. We had a nice dinner at Carrabba's before the game. And the Tigers won too!!
