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!

Work out time with Mom! :-)

February Flu

Well another couple weeks have passed and there is not a lot to report. About 2.5 weeks ago Ty caught a flu/cold bug and brought it home - joy oh joy! LOL Knew it would happen sooner or later but we had been so lucky this far with her never getting sick.....HA! And right when she is in the process of molars breaking through and I am pregnant (and thus cannot taken anything for it), it happens. Thankfully I didn't get it too badly and neither did Sebastian (who was smart and taking med's as soon as it hit). We are all feeling better if still a bit tired.


One cold and rainy day we managed to hit a place close by called MegaPlay with some friends tho - it was great! (for the grown ups too :)

Tyler & Paige

Tyler LUVS the slide with Daddy!

I am now past my 6th month - 6 months and 1 week actually :-) Wow this is going by fast! I know I have said that before but it is really, really flying by this time. Still no word on how this baby will be delivered yet - have to wait another couple weeks before getting an idea on that. It hit me the other day how much variance we have in her due date (yes 'she' does not yet officially have a name!)..My due date is 5 June still but if I have to go c-section then it could be up to 2 weeks before that; or if not then they could let me go up to 2 weeks past! LOL I know that 2 weeks before or after is normal but we never seem to have really early babies in our family - Ty hit her due date and showed NO signs of coming - so who knows!

Travel is done for a little bit. In March Sebastian has a solo ski trip and judging from how warm this winter has been, I am thinking it just might be the last ski trip till next season. In April we have the Paris Marathon that I am in this midst of finishing up plans for. Originally we were driving there but now we are flying. YEAAAAAA! No 9-hour-over-2-day-car ride with Tyler :) I was surprised to find that the cost of flying was roughly on par with what driving would be (gas, staying overnight on the way there and back, etc). A 1.5 hour flight sounds delicious in comparison to traffic jams and hours in a car with a bored Ty! And it is such a short flight that it should not be a problem being pregnant. Despite being so far along I am very much looking forward to this trip. With how many places we would like to see yet in Europe, I doubt we will hit Paris again so we are going to savour this one and check out a few fav's but do some new things as well. Thats one thing about such a huge and beautiful, historical city - there is always something new to do/see if you look for it (And springtime is a great time to do it too )

Thats all for the moment...We will have to get more pictures for the next blog. Take care & feel free to leave comments - I know you are visiting (my ticker tells me so!) so don't be shy!! LOL You do NOT have to have an account, just click on the comment link and type :-)

January fun

Time to update a bit though not a great deal has been happening here. We had another ski weekend in Garmisch for the MLK long weekend and I have included some pictures here. It was amazing how much snow had disappeared in the couple of weeks between when we were there after Christmas and that weekend! But the skiing up on the mountain was still goood and, with the sidewalks clear, it made for easier walking with Tyler so I cannot complain!

The slide program appears to be on strike today so I will put a couple pic's below:

New shades!

Have Chariot will travel! Loooove this thing! Believe it or not, there is an attachment you can get to replace the wheels with SKI's LOL (for cross country skiing) it would've come in handy this trip

The snow was definitely there the higher up you went :-)

Wiped out at the end of the day!

***

The pregnancy is going well and I am feeling big even though I am only 5.5 months and the ballooning part is truly yet to come LOL Scary thought! And we did find out we are having another GIRL :-) Darling Daddy is officially and permanently outnumbered!

Ty's been walking around everywhere now and has been in a decent mood considering she has broken in one back molar completely and the others are peaking through! Not the little baby anymore :) We've been telling her she is going to have a baby sister and, while she keeps saying 'baby', I know it will be loooong time before she gets it. She has definitely figured out that Mommy does not look the same though haha

HAIRCUT!

Well I did was I was not sure I would ever do.....I cut about 4 inches off for my 'soccer-mom' do and this past week I took the next step; another 4 inches off the back :-) LOL And I LOOOOOOVE it! (as does Sebastian surprisingly enough)

What can I say - it was time for a change! And yes the pregnancy is really beginning to show....I cannot believe that I am 5 months practically?! The time is going by really fast this time!
