The Anderson Family: Doctor's Appointment Yesterday

Doctor's Appointment Yesterday

Apparently I HAVE been having Braxton-Hicks contractions. I couldn't tell...I thought they were supposed to be at least a little uncomfortable...maybe that comes later. All the descriptions I've heard made me think I didn't have them yet. My stomach gets hard on top and I just poke it because it's weird, then I tell David to feel it. I don't feel any discomfort or have to stop and wait for it to pass. Holiday is still pretty much breakdancing in there. :) Now it's easier for others to feel her movement too. Before it was more difficult...it was as if she knew someone else besides me was watching so she'd stop moving...now she doesn't care. Contrariness does run in the family. The doctor answered our questions and we're now in the every two weeks mode of OB appointments. The only thing we have to watch is my blood pressure because it was slightly higher than normal, but that could be linked to my feet swelling. So right now it's just something to monitor not worry about. I'll be checking my blood pressure three times a week on my own until the matter is dismissed.

Johnny's Sizes

-Phasing out diapers and wearing undies
-Currently size 4T

-Need to check his shoe size, has one pair of tennis shoes, boots and flip flops.
-Has summer wardrobe set. He'll need pants, long-sleeve shirts, winter weight pajamas, and socks in the fall. Probably will need a coat since we didn't get one last year. Jacket seems to fit for now.
-Loves trains-trains-trains, legos, balls, blocks, cars, Thomas trains, stuffed animals, music toys and board books. Still very tactile. Loves to color and read books. Very into Elmo, Blue's Clues and Thomas the Train and generally tv shows with music involved. He likes to do a happy dance to music. Also loves to play outside when he can. Did I mention he really loves trains?

Holiday's Sizes

- Holly is size 5 or XS depending on where you shop. If getting leggings I recommend a size 6 since she tends to fill those out.
- Shoe size 11.5, has boots, 1 pair of dress shoes, tennis shoes, ballet slippers, flip flops, sandals and tap shoes. Last summer she got new shoes at the beginning of summer camp and by the time school started her feet grew a size. So shoe size to be revisited before she goes back to school.
- She has a jacket and all the summer wardrobe necessary. She has a couple pairs of jeans, short sleeved shirts and short sleeved dresses. She will need long sleeved dresses, leggings, undies, and socks. Will need to check if her coat will carry through the winter.
- I'm not picky about colors, but Holly is a girlie girl. She doesn't care for jumpers too much either or scratchy tulle skirts.
- Some of Holly's interests include but are not limited to: Sesame Street, Yo Gabba Gabba, Dora the Explorer, Go Diego Go, Mickey Mouse, Super Why, Blue's Clues and animals in general. She loves to color, puzzles, books, stickers, legos and toys she can generally play pretend with. Holly also enjoys simple craft projects like ink stamping, painting and gluing projects. She really enjoys playing outside too (but she has more than plenty when it comes to toys to play in the sandbox).
