April 4, 2008 - Blake at 20 months
He's getting better at posing for me...but I still have to be quick!!!
I know, I know...I'm falling behind again. Seems like there is no energy left by the time I get home to sit on the computer and type (especially now that the Tigers have started their season!).
Blake has been talking more and more. His latest is saying "bless you" when I sneeze! And I've been sneezing a lot lately! He has also not been sleeping the greatest...been waking up in the middle of the night for no reason, crying. Tom has been great, getting up with him, so that I can get some rest.
We had a Mommy and Me/Pampered Chef party a couple weeks ago at our house. I had about 13 girls that I went to school with over, along with their toddlers. It was pretty wild!!! Blake wanted nothing to do with any of them...it's like he was being anti-social and just wanted to stick to my side. Which surprised me since he's around kids all day long at daycare, but maybe it's different because it was our house and HIS toys. He didn't seem to mind the kids playing with his toys though. Finally when there were only a couple kids left, he got into playing a little more with them. Trisha Hooper had little Brennen over and Blake just loved him. Starting next week Brennen will be going to Mary's, so Blake should be a good little helper for her!
I'm into week 11 now. Been feeling ok....not as good as the first 6 weeks though. Been very very tired and feeling yucky, especially in the evenings. I go back to the doctor on Monday April 13th.
Tom is doing great on his diet! He was down to 231.8 this morning....I think he was close to 245 when he started. He's been working very hard on the eliptical and eating healthier too! He's doing great!

Falling Behind...
Yikes, I knew it had been awhile since my last post, but didn't realize it had been a few weeks!
Let's see....what's new?
Well, we had our first doctor's appointment on 3/16. Everything went well and Dr. Hartman gave me the due date of October 29th which is exactly what I had come up with, which puts me about 8 weeks along. We then had to go back to Port Huron on Friday, March 20th for an ultrasound. Dr. Hartman likes to do that early on just to make sure there is a baby there, a heartbeat, and that there is only one baby! Everything came out just like that...one baby with a strong heartbeat of 180. So, we feel much better after that appointment!
I really can't complain too much. I've been feeling great, hardly feeling sick at all. Just VERY, VERY tired. Tom even commented that he doesn't remember me being this tired the first time. When we get home at night, we eat, give Blake a bath, and I'm on the couch by 6:30/7:00 and sleep for 1-2 hours before going to bed. Then I still go to bed around normal time (10:00), and manage to sleep (hard) all night. I guess that is the best thing for me right now. Thank goodness for Tom, he gets up with Blake since Blake hasn't been sleeping too well lately. The time change has really thrown off his schedule. He used to sleep religiously from 7-6. Now he's sleeping from 8-7 and usually wakes up somewhere in there, but not for too long. He is also only napping about once a day, anywhere from 1 to 1.5 hours. Not long enough - when all I want to do is sleep!!
Blake has been talking a lot lately. He indicates if things are "hot" or "cold", usually he's right on, but when he eats he seems to thing that everything is "hot". He also LOVES to go outside. There have been a few nice days (not enough) where we've gotten outside and taken him for wagon rides, and just let him run around the yard. I can tell this summer will be fun - hopefully we can keep up with him!
Tom has set a new goal...When I was pregnant with Blake he wanted to lose 50lbs before Blake was born. He did it....just two days before Blake arrived! This time around, he would like to lose about 20 pounds which would put him at 220. He has already lost about 5. He's working very hard on the elliptical and eating better. He's doing a great job. Too bad all I want to do is eat everything in site!!
All for now....I will post the ultrasound pictures next!

Where's the......?
Blake said is first sentence a few months ago...."where'd the b-ball go?" Lately, he has been filling in the blank with "the ma-ma", "da-da", "football", "basketball", "may-may" (blanket), or "doggy." He looks so serious when he asks, puts his hands up in the air and everything!
Tom took Blake to his first basketball game on Saturday. His friend Marc McKenzie was reffing a game in Saginaw, and Tom was going to visit him, so they stopped in to watch the game. Tom said Blake was just mesmerized by it and LOVED it. So, we went to the Deckerville district basketball game tonight. Blake loved the first 2 minutes, then just wanted to climb the bleachers. We made it until halftime, then came home!
Blake is still helping himself in the fridge, which we are trying to break him of.
The time change this weekend has his sleeping schedule a bit mixed up. Previously he was in bed religiously by 7, and the last two nights it's been about 8:15. He likes to climb the stairs to go upstairs, but lately once he gets in bed he gets a little mad and cries for a bit.
I've been feeling pretty good...almost 7 weeks along. Doctor's appointment is Monday the 16th, so I'm looking forward to that.

"Independent Arbaugh"
LOL!! I have to laugh at the title of this post. Of course, I am referring to how independent Blake has gotten lately. However, it brings me back to when Tom and I first started dating and he was too scared to get serious...he called himself "Independent Arbaugh", because he didn't "need no woman!"
Anyway, today Blake took off his pants all by himself. He tried for the shirt, but couldn't quite get it over his head.
He also lets us know as soon as he messes his pants, by waving his hand in front of his nose and saying "stinky". He will usually follow that up with bringing us a diaper and the wipes!
