Entry for November 02, 2006 Okay...4 weeks and 6 days

Well I must first say that I'm not nearly as good at this as my new friend K. I will try to keep everyone a little more updated. Allen bit again yesterday drawing blood on a little girl that did absolutely nothing to him. Does anyone have any pearls of wisdom to offer? My next step is to find a ped. dentist for him, he was chewing on the vacuum last night. I think his teeth are coming in. We went to the store last night and spent 103 dollars, but saved 69. I'll offer some pearls of wisdom, don't send a prego lady with a kid to the store that hasn't had dinner yet. Don't worry, I reaped what I sewed, I had to carry everything in by myself and put it away, I hate it when Duck works nights. MC is going to be measured on the 10th, to see how big he is. I'm beginning to think that I'm carrying an elephant. He is head down, and he is really down far. How do I know, you say???? When he has the hiccups, I feel them in a place that one generally doesn't feel hiccups at. Get the point? And on top of that, his feet at in my ribs....again you ask?? Well I won't go into detail, let just say that certain positions are very uncomfortable when one is trying to wipe. Like I said, 4 weeks and 6 days...that is if the doc doesn't take him early. Yes I've been struck with the unfortunate diagnosis of Pre-Eclampsia AGAIN....I see my doc twice a week, every week and MC gets his stress tested. He is doing well, but I am ready to hold him. Allen came up and lifted my shirt the other day and pointed. I told him there was a baby in there. He smiled, grabbed my fingers and led me into the living room where we have a life size baby doll asleep in the bassinet dressed in MC's Clothes. He pointed to the baby, and I told him that was right, there was a baby like that in mommy's belly. He just smiled and walked away. We had dinner with some new friends last weekend, did I mention that yet? They eat much healthier than we do, and I was very surprised to find out that she budgets only $200.00 per month on a grocery bill to feed everyone (4.5). I must learn more I said to myself. The meal was very good, and the conversation was a very nice change. It is hard to find people who are like us. We just don't do anything without our son, and maybe that is part of the problem, but we had him for a reason, he isn't a convenience child as we see so many people try to do with their kids. Family comes FIRST.... Allen did very well playing, didn't want to eat, which didn't surprise me, he was out of his setting. But the playing he did was wonderful, he had so much fun, especially with the chickens. He chased them around in circles with CH, and then they ran into the coup. Well he didn't think that was going to work, so he tried to go in after them. KH raised the ends and they all ran out only to be chased by the boys back into the coup....poor chickens. Then the three children started eating apples, and running around. I think Allen got overheated a little and ended up choking and puking on me. That pretty much ended the evening. I didn't want him to continue to get sick everywhere so we said thank you and exited stage left. They are coming over to our house on the 18th I think for dinner.
We are going to Indy next weekend to see some friends, I'm sure that this will be the last time before MC gets here. I want to see T & B's new baby again, she is adorable.
Allen went Trick or treating with daycare as...of course BUZZ LIGHTYEAR. We finally got his costume on him and he said thank you at just about every house. He's doing well, if we could just get past the biting.
Well I can't think of much more, but I'm sure I will later.
Love and God Bless
