15 month check-up

Today, it was time again for another trip to the doctor's office. Ben had his 15 month check-up and got one shot. Every time we've taken him to the office, he does wonderfully. But, today was another story.

As soon as we got back in the room, he started freaking out. He cried. He screamed. Snot ran down his face. It wasn't pretty. It was nice that Curt could come with me, so that we could hold down his flailing body together as the nurse tried to measure him. We got through it, but I'm hoping the 18 month appt. will go a little smoother.

There were some dinosaurs in the room that seemed to calm him down for a little bit. He even cracked a couple smiles. Hopefully, he will have some fun today and forget all about his dr visit.

Wow! That's so nice that Curt has the flexibility to go with you. I don't think Mark has ever taken any of the kids with me to the doctor! He misses out on all the shots, crying and drama when taking them. He leaves that to me! :0) In fact...for my next appt. for my pregnancy next week...I'M taking all the kids with me to hear the heartbeat!:0) I hope Ben can recover from his visit and have a better day!

Oh, poor Ben. I'm glad Curt was there to help out. Don't you wonder what goes on in their little minds when they decide a tantrum is appropriate??? I hope the rest of his day is better. :-)
Love,

Enjoying December

I'm glad we had time to make sugar cookies together. Christmastime does not seem complete without them. I frosted the cookies while Ben and Curt decorated.  Lots of sprinkles and chocolate chips!  Ben loved getting slippers and a robe with his "Christmas Eve" jammies. He does love to be cozy. We decided to move up our present opening a day early because we thought I might end up in the hospital on Christmas. But, today is the 27th and still no baby. So we were a bit off on that one.  Santa brought the Lewis Hamilton car that Ben had asked him for. He was very excited!  The new pirate ship has been a favorite. He has played with it a TON a last few days.  Ben also got a few more pirate dress-up things. I've heard "Aarg!" a lot lately. :)  My parents came yesterday for a visit since my dad has this week off of work. We're hoping that I'll have the baby while they are here, but I'm not sure that is going to happen since they head home tomorrow. Ben ...

The Big 3-0!

Today I turned 30 years old. I didn't think that it would make me feel old, but it kinda does. :) I had a wonderful birthday. Curt went out and got us donuts for breakfast. Then, I got to open my presents. He did a great job shopping and I love everything he picked out! For lunch we went out to Olive Garden and then stopped by the mall for a little while. We spent the rest of the afternoon relaxing at home. I hope this getting older doesn't mean that gray hairs are going to start showing up! While I got ready this morning, Curt got out his old car track. He hasn't used it in many years, so he wasn't sure if it would work. Ben loved watching the cars race around the track. We enjoyed eating lunch at Olive Garden. Ben was too interested in coloring to look up at the camera. I love cheesecake for my birthday and Curt made this one for me all by himself. It is a chocolate chip recipe that is one of my favorites. He only added one candle per decade...we didn't ...
