Blessed

Bert has been under the weather this week. And has decided sleep is not for him. It has been a trying week. Here is a little story from the late nights of this week that make it all worth wild. Last night Bert decided 4am was a good time to get up and play. I went into his bedroom and held him for a bit while I rocked him hoping he would fall fast asleep. Little did I know he had a visitor. We have always had a feeling about Bert's bedroom and we have always said there is something greater then we understand with him. I think i finally figured it out. He had a little visitor. As I sat there rocking him almost in tears due to exhaustion he started talking to the corner of his room behind the rocker. Not babble but actually talking, and then he started smiling. It was almost as if he was playing peek-a-boo. All at once I felt a calm come over myself and as he laid his head back on my shoulder he just smiled and a little giggle came out. Now I know being really tired you start to feel things that probably aren't there. I really felt like Nana was with us and talking to Bert. The last week has been a tough one with many questions going through my head about the new baby on the way and if we can actually manage. Along with the sleepless nights, fear got the best of me. At that moment I really felt Nana's presence and her calming hand letting me know it will be all right. It's odd how Bert has never met Nana but probably knows her better then I ever did. It's wonderful to know we have a angel looking over us.

Hope this find everone well!

Beginning of Our Blog

Debbie talked me into it. We have decided to do a blog just in time to give everyone up to date with how Bert and baby #2 is doing. I'm not very good at updating things as you all could tell by our babysites, but I will try to be better about this.
Bert had his 9 month check up today! He is almost 22lbs (60th percentile) and almost 30 inches (90th percentile). He is getting quite the little stubborn personality (defiantly after his mother). He is now eating soft solid foods and he loves his food. He will not turn down a single bite. He is on the move. He is crawling like lightening and getting more daring with standing up. He will pull himself up on the coffee table and start to walk around and grab on to different things. Lucky for us he still loves to cuddle.
Baby #2 is quite a handful already. As much as I love food, i can't seem to keep it down. With Bert it was so predictable but with #2 it's all the time. I feel like I have already gotten bigger but that could all be in my head. We had our first ultrasound last week and have another on April 10th and then another on May 8th. Dr. pulvino is keeping a close eye this time. I can't wait to be over the yucky part and on to the uncomfortable part. :-)
Hope this finds everyone well!
