just like daddy!

November 10, 2006 by Wendy S

We had a doctor’s appointment and my little girl is great! The doctor says she very healthy.
da
Now here’s the interesting part….She 36″ tall!?!?! That the 96%ile! And she weighs 30lbs! (87%ile)
My little baby isn’t so little.

Tho I forgot to ask when her next appointment should be.

Tonight was also the Peel Partner’s Annual Bowling Tournament. We went and watched Daddy and some work people bowl. Munchkin had a good time…seemed to be very interested the bowling. We’ll have to take her sometime. Maybe with the bumpers so there are no gutter balls!

Big Ultrasound is a big disappointment!

October 24, 2006 by Wendy S

First off, I’ll start by saying that the baby is great! Heartbeat was 164 bpm! And is folded in half…literally, the baby’s feet were above it’s head!

But the rest of the story isn’t as exciting.
We get to the U/S place, 5-10 minutes early. I asked how the wait was becuase my bladder was ready to explode, and they told me that there was one person ahead of me so it shouldn’t be long.
They call me in at 5:40…10 minutes late, not too bad. I say to the tech that my DH wants to come in and she says “yes, if there is time at the end”. Well, they always say this, and he has always come in….at the other clinic that I had been going to. So she starts the U/S. The bed is in a position that is really below the screen and where my head is I can just see it from the side….barely seeing anything!
She’s having trouble finding the things that’s she looking for so she sends me to empty my bladder. I go and come back and she continues. Baby is a bit more cooperative and she’s able to finish everything up. So she turns the screen to start showing me the baby and I say “can we call my husband in” and she says “I’m sorry but there isn’t time. We were already running late and now I”ve missed an appointment”. I’m almost in tears at this time. She hands me 5/6 pictures…I didn’t even count them and I head out to the waiting room. I fight thru the tears to tell Dh that there wasn’t time for him to come in. He’s furious. He says to me “but another couple went in and the guy got to go in too”. I didn’t know what to say, all I could do was cry.
This is the one thing that he looks forward to cuz he’s actually able to share this with me and he gets cheated. I’m so upset, disappointed and angry over this whole thing. Last night I cried myself to sleep becuase I just couldn’t believe what happened. I feel horrible…my stomach is in knots. This is something that we might not be able to get back. I’m hoping that when we see the doctor on Monday, I can get him to give me another U/S.
It wasn’t supposed to happen this way!!!

forget webster…we’ve got munchkin!

October 21, 2006 by Wendy S

So we got Munchkin winter boots with Barbie on them. I didn’t really care what was on them, I bought them because they co-ordinated with her snow suit.

But if you ask Munchkin who is on her boots, she says “Bible”.

Huh??

And how embarrassing is that when she says it in the shoe section filled with parents and kids.

It’s amazing how her vocabulary is increasing everyday, but it’s funny how she mixes words up. Maybe we should send Munchkin’s entries into the Webster Dictionary people and see what they think:

Bi·ble (bbl)

1.Trademark. a brand of doll representing a slim, shapely young woman, esp. one with blond hair, blue eyes, and fair skin.

–noun

2.Also called Barbie doll. a person, esp. a young woman, perceived as blandly attractive and vacuous.

out of context?

September 28, 2006 by Wendy S

We tell Munchkin that it’s ‘dangerous’ to jump on the bed and it’s ‘dangerous’ to stand in the bathtub.
So the other night she stands in the tub…

Me: Munchkin, sit down
Munchkin: Dangerous
Me: That’s right. Standing in the tub is dangerous and you could get a big boo-boo.
Munchkin: Mommy dangerous
Me: I’m dangerous?? (Trying to contain myself from laffing out loud)

It kills me sometimes with the words she says and the fact that she uses them properly (most of the time)

Ack! Where did the time go?

September 19, 2006 by Wendy S

So what has been going on….
…moving
…getting pregnant
…doing renovations on the new house
…running around after a very active toddler
…working
…regular day-to-day house stuff

That sums up the lack of blog posting.

I have found a new tool for me to follow all my blog friends… http://www.bloglines.com/
Now I can keep up with everything; even if they don’t have an actual feed. It’s neat!

———————–

My goal for this weekend is to write down all of the words that Munchkin says each day. I’m so amazed by the things she says. She repeats EVERYTHING but she is actually starting to use these words in “conversations”.
