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!

My Little Helper...
I have probably mentioned before how Blake just loves to help me unload the dishwasher, put away groceries, and "fold" laundry. He is so funny! Tonight when we got home, he went straight to the grocery bags, brought me one thing at a time, and then when the bag was empty, he wadded it up, opened the closet door, and threw it in the garbage, without me saying a word to him. It was quite comical!
I entered him into the WIOG baby Idol contest....the winner gets $5000 educational trust fund...there are 500 entrants, so it might be a tough competition. But he is by far the cutest kid...and I don't have a biased opinion at all! :-)

Short weekend..
Seems like the weekend went by way too fast. I got a chance to go shopping for a bit yesterday morning..by myself..which was really nice.
Seems like it's been eternity since I found out that I'm pregnant...it's SO hard not to tell people. Especially when they constantly ask you when #2 is coming???
Went to Tina Rochefort's baby shower today. It was an emotional one. Tina has lost 2 babies already, both times she was about 20 weeks along. So, I'm very happy that things are working out for her this time.
Uh-oh...Mom has noticed that the post has become private and is wanting to read it....I can't find a way to make certain posts private...so I guess I will have to tell her the news.....but I think I better wait until she gets home from Florida. I did spill the beans to Jody today, but otherwise, I haven't told anyone. It's so hard. Yet, I think I'm still in shock!! But the tiredness is kicking in, making it all a little more real.
Blake is doing good. He had his 3rd haircut tonight. He has really been trying to talk lately, and does quite well. His newest thing, is he goes right into the fridge and grabs stuff out. Like if we have a half full sippy cup in there, he will open it up and help himself...little stinker!
