Bedtime and dr.'s appointment!

Last night was the best bedtime Sydney has had in so long (well since her pacifier mysteriously disappeared ;) ). We did it a little differently and it worked out beautifully so I am hoping that we can continue with this. The night before was just horrendous so I was kind of nervous as to what last night would hold...but as the saying goes each day is a new day and we had a wonderful afternoon and evening and then bedtime with our little girl!!! She kept us laughing all evening long. :)

I also had a doctor's appointment yesterday. According to their calculations I am 22 1/2 weeks. Sydney has become my little tag-a-long buddy to the appointments since Joe has to work 30 minutes later and he carpools he hasn't been able to make it to as many appointments as I know he would like. Sydney is just becoming an old pro at this traveling and dr. appt. business. We counted the "memis" (aka semi trucks) on the way to Burlington and she told me their colors. She was really hoping to see a pink one though. :) Anyhow once we arrived at the appointment, she knew after my blood pressure was taken I was "all done!" and then I laid down on the table so we could hear the heartbeat and then we were "all done!" She even smiled and giggled with the doctor!! :) Anyhow, we are so busy enjoying/chasing/parenting Sydney that I often forget to do the same little things for this baby that I did when I was pregnant with Sydney. It's so easy to breeze through the day and not even have time to stop and just enjoy the little bumps and kicks...so I am trying to do that more and more and when I do I try to just say a little prayer of "thanks"! We are truly blessed to be having another child and one that is seemingly very healthy and active! (The dr. couldn't keep the doppler in one place yesterday to calculate the heartbeat...Baby was all over the place!) Our next appointment will be Dec. 30th and we'll have a sonogram! I am SO excited to see this little baby and hopefully see that he/she is just as healthy as we've been praying for and growing just as he/she should be!
