Hope everyone had a good Christmas.
Tomorrow is my birthday and I'm leaving for Dallas early in the morning so I thought I'd update real quick. I wanted to post pictures but I have not pulled pictures off of my camera yet so when Greg does that for me I'll post some Christmas pictures.
We had a great Christmas with Greg's side of the family. Kayla had a lot of fun opening presents and even more fun playing with new toys. She especially liked her stacking rings and her John Deere tractor but she also loved the books and horsey balls and many other great gifts she received. Thanks to all who gave her a gift she is very spoiled. We came home from Austwell Christmas afternoon in time to see our good friend, David, who stopped by and visited for a while. Kayla had so much fun she didn't want to sleep but she is catching up on missed sleep today.
Also today was Dr. appt day for both Kayla and myself. Last week we saw a substitute Dr. who seemed concerned about her weight for her age. I really didn't think it was an issue but when a Dr. makes such a deal of something you start to wonder. I did everything she said to do for a week and today she still hadn't gained even an ounce. My Dr. and the PA both saw her today and both think that she is fine and told me not to worry about her weight. They are both impressed with her developement (doing most of the things they expect a 2 year old to do) and told me she is just an active healthy child. I was relieved to hear that so now life can get back to normal.
The good news of the day is that
we heard the fetal heartbeat today! Yay! It was 160 bpm and the Dr. is content that this is a healthy growing baby. And yesterday morning an extra little Christmas present was that I felt the baby move! I turn 35 tomorrow and it sure feels old to be pregnant with a toddler but I couldn't be more thankful.
Enjoy the end of the year and keep checking back for pictures coming soon.

Wow Linda - Pregnant with a toddler! That's a neat trick! :.)

Happy Late Birthday - and I'm so glad you finally got to hear baby's heartbeat!

I thought it would be easier to just stay pregnant until the terrible twos ended. NOT!
