Only 2 weeks to go.............

It's been a while since I updated this blog and September has been a busy month for us it seems. I guess the most "shocking" news is that Jerad had all of his hair cut-off!! He went out one afternoon after telling me he was getting a hair-cut (i.e. trim) and he comes home with his long hair all gone (13" pony tail). He's donating his hair to locks of love. I'll have to get a photo of him to post for everyone as I'm sure most people are only used to seeing his long pony tail.

In the last few weeks Amy has also started going to swimming lessons. There is a local gym near us that has the infant classes, so Jerad takes her on Tuesday afternoons. We thought it was a good idea to get her used to the water since a recent trick of hers in the bath tub is to try and put her nose/face in the water. The first lesson she was a bit unsure which makes sense with it all being new and it is noisy in those indoor pools. Her lessons last through the end of the year so I'm sure each week she'll get more comfortable with it.

I of course have continued to have follow-up doctor appointments. They did an ultrasound the other week and everything is going fine. I still measure small but not that small that they are concerned etc. I now go every week for an appointment until I deliver. I can't believe it's only 2 weeks away. It will be interesting to see how Amy reacts to having a new brother or sister. She cuddles and kisses my belly each night but i don't think realizes the belly will be gone soon and she'll have a little person to cuddle and kiss.

For the last couple of months I have had trouble uploading video - so I have included a test one here to see if it is working. It's not the clearest video but it is one of Amy taken this week "dancing" to one of kiddy shows on TV.
