Fatigue and Forgetfulness

Many apologies for my absence. We'll call it a mix of fatigue and forgetfulness. I've been catching any extra sleep where I can and pretty much falling into bed as soon as Noah goes down at night. If I haven't said it enough lately, thank goodness for Grant.

I had two doctors appointments today, and I wouldn't say that either of them went particularly well. Though I suppose they didn't go poorly, either. Baby G 2.0 is just fine (we're expecting a mid-January arrival) but is continuing to push my blood pressure into dangerous territory already. I know that this was our choice to have another kiddo and we definitely knew what we were up against, so I don't want this to come across as whiny, but I really thought that we would have at least a couple of months before the craziness set in. I knew (though I hoped I would be wrong) that this was going to be another up hill battle I just wasn't quite prepared to start battling yet. But now that I know that we have to, the battle will commence ;-) My goal is to make it to 37 weeks this time. Any extra prayers, thoughts and warm wishes to get us there would be most appreciated!

Noah has been walking up a storm lately. He is following Grant and I around the house and loves to chase the dog. He hasn't quite figured out how to stand up from a sitting position without anything to pull him up, but he's getting there. It's so funny to see him toddling around, not quite 100% steady. He is so proud of himself, especially if someone is watching and says "yay Noah!" for him. He is even figure out how to change direction. I'll try to remember to take some video here soon so you can see what I'm talking about.

Alright, I'm going to call it a night. I only have a few pictures, but I'll try better tomorrow. Until then, enjoy the pictures!

He thinks it's really cool :-p

I REALLY hope that that's not a White Sox uniform he is wearing...

I really hope he doesn't figure out how to run before G 2.0 gets here & your BP can get normal. Hugs all around, kiddo. Love you all, ckb
