It's Been A Month

I can't believe it has been an entire month since I have blogged. Most of you have probably given up on me. But I decided that even if I had nothing to say, I needed to post something to prove I am still here.

I wish I could say that I have a month's worth of news and events to catch you up on...but that is just not the case. I spend all my days watching the boys; and although they have moments of cuteness, there hasn't been anything "extraordinary" to report. There was the time that Joey styled Baby Nick's hair with a cup of grape juice; or when he thought Baby Nick needed a face washing and sprayed him with Spray 'N Wash. Those were two fantastic days! Of course, they happened when Nick was in Fairbanks, so I had no reprieve. But we managed.

I have had some days where I feel better, but I still feel icky or "iffy" much of the time. Lately, I have felt better during the day and then by late afternoon or evening, I'm feeling sick again. I also throw up almost every time I change a stinky diaper. That is most frustrating, as I can't exactly avoid changing a dirty diaper.

Baby Nick is eighteen months now and had a good check up. He is 24.2 pounds and 32.5 inches tall. He is growing well and healthy. The one concern is that he is still not talking, not forming any words. He is very vocal and babbles all the time, but he won't even say "mama" or "dada". So the doctor recommended we have him evaluated to see if there is any issue that needs early intervention. We have a couple appointments for him next week. We'll see how that goes. Most of me feels that he is just choosing not to talk right now; but you never know. I would not want to wait too long in "denial" and miss an opportunity to help him if there really is something wrong.

Well....I think that is about it for now. I will try to be better about blogging so that it doesn't end up being another month between posts. I have another appointment tomorrow and I think I will have to take all three boys with me. That will be a challenge, but I think it would be neat for Joey to hear the baby's heart beat. He is really hoping for a baby sister! I love that....I'm hoping for the same thing.

Have a great day and I will keep you better updated in the future.
