Best laid plans.....

Ahh yes - things never quite work out as you plan, eh? :-) We stayed at home for the Easter weekend since it was right after Sebastian's return from France (picture slideshow below) and we have Paris coming up soon. Wouldn't you know - it SNOWS! I think we had more snow that week than we had during Christmas! It is gone now but kinda ruined plans for decorating outside so we could take pics of Ty is her spring dress. Another time I guess LOL

Given the huge dumps of snow in the area we did take off for an overnight with some friends to Garmisch on Friday night - seemed like a simple enough thing to do. Leave Friday, come back Saturday. Ty had her shots (they did both 18 month and 24 at the same time - why I don't know) on Thursday and at noon Friday I thought she was having a reaction to it....I have since come to the conclusion that she picked up some kind of gastro-bug while at the clinic and was sick the entire night and following morning....we were, of course, leaving that afternoon. LOL She is doing better now - not 100% but better.

My pregnancy is coming along well - and I know I am procrastinating on getting a picture up LOL I will soon :) The countdown has begun! 7-9 weeks!! This little girl is going to be a good sized baby like her sister was. She has been measuring a couple of weeks ahead for a while now. At first my doctor was verrry concerned and I tried to explain that Ty was big too but my Dr was not satisfied till after the diabetes test (came back neg) that I am just having a rather big girl LOL I am still hoping that I will go into labour before my due date and there will be no complications (and thus no repeat c-section) but as long as she comes out healthy we will be happy. At this point we are just eager to meet this little one who moves around like crazy and is giving Mom insane heartburn!!! I seem to be having more Bracks this time so fingers crossed :-)

That's it for now! Will have more to post next week!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LISA!!!

Okay since I cannot call you (fix the darn phone so it will accept my calls already! LOL) so i will wish you a

HAPPY BIRTHDAY !!!!!!!!


here instead....and I will be kind and not post how old you are turning!! LOL

love ya sis! Keep checking your mail box too!

Iron - A wonderful thing!

Ahh iron pills.....they suck to take them but WOW do they make a difference LOL I had been pasted to the couch thinking to myself that, even though I am pregnant and chasing an 18 month old, there is no way I should be this sooooooooo bone-dead-tired exhausted! I had a doctor appointment last week and ironically enough they already had an iron perscription in the computer for me based on the blood tests done the prior week. Scary how it just sneaks up on you over a period of time that you don't realize how bad it is. LMAO But now after a week on iron (on top of prenatals) I am already feeling a 180 difference!

In other baby news: passed the diabetes test with flying colours - something the doc was not expecting. I have not gained a lot of weight but apparently little baby girl is already pushing the 95 percentile for size at 27/28 weeks LOL I tried to explain to the doctor that Ty was a good sized baby too but..ahhh well, better to be safe than sorry. I will have to post a picture of me up when Sebastian gets back with the camera. Lori is BIIIIIG :-)

Speaking of - he will be back tomorrow sometime. The lucky bum took a week long ski trip to the French Alps, sans pregnant wife and daughter (yes, he is repeatedly telling me that he will be staying with the kids while I go next season LOL and I am holding him to it!!!) They have had a few days where the lifts were closed due to weather but also some truly spectacular days. I am expecting fantastic pictures when he gets back home and we will try to get those up this weekend.



Tyler is great..I am really loving this age! Okay - not so much the teething (I swear all the teeth she did not yet have are all coming in at once!), but the personality, mimicing everything she sees and talking more:) Unfortunately I do not have many pictures since I don't have the camera! We will have to do that next week..below is a couple of pictures of Ty. You can tell when we have been using the computers too much around her - she goes to her 'desk' and fat fingers keys on the my old laptop we put there LOL after I get her away from mine that is!!! Techno kid already!
