Time Out for Avee


Avee got in trouble for banging on the neighbors garage doors.
Mama kept telling him he was going to get a time out.
He just looked at me and laughed  only to do it again. Hahaha

Almost Weaned

Avrum and I are working hard at weaning! We are down to one time a day and this week is the last week we are going to nurse. Next week he is going to be all done with the "mama ghala." So far the absolute hardest to cut out were the nighttime nursing. However, for the last month Avrum now sleeps through the night. I think that the last one is going to be the hardest. Nursing before bedtime. We had to do it one session at a time so it has taken months...! He is such a big boy now!


Now that I am starting to look Prego, I am taking stalk of the items we have, do not or need to be replaced.

We have tons of unisex clothes and blankets.

I am looking for a better breast pump as I am going to have two to worry about and not enough time for the slow one I have now.

One thing that I wish we spent good money on with Avrum was an exceptional rocker. We have a good one that we got as a hand-me-down that I love and had Alex finally bring upstairs about a year ago (he was hogging it to watch TV downstairs.) I would love to move it back down stairs and then get a reclining one for the bedroom. The one we have now tilts back but does not recline. I have found that a devoted nurser defiantly needs reclining.

The furniture we have for Avrum is too bulky for two kids in that room. So, probably this time next year when Belly-Bean is moving in we are going to have to get rid of the crib we have now for one that goes short ways up against the wall and a toddler bed that does the same.

10 Weeks Pregnant!

We are already a quarter of the way done! 30 weeks left. I had a Dr Appointment yesterday, which went wonderfully! Baby is perfect! Blood tests and ultrasound both perfect! I heard the baby’s heartbeat, such an amazing sound! 160 beats/minute.

Dr. Grouse says she cannot guarantee, but although my due date is May 19, she said that because I began to efface more than a month before Avrum's due date we should prepare for baby to be here at the beginning of May. If for some weird reason I go over my due date, we are inducing on May 25, Mama 30th and Grandpa's 70th birthday! She said it is highly unlikely.

Oh and if you are wondering what happened with photos, Andrew stole his camera back. I do not have one right now.

Baby in Week 10 of Pregnancy
Your baby (now the size of a prune) has small indentations on his legs (soon to be knees and ankles!), and his tiny arms even have elbows that bend (how is that for magical?). Inside that little mouth, tiny buds of baby teeth are forming under the gums. His stomach and kidneys are kicking into gear, producing digestive juices and urine, and if it's a boy, his testes are making testosterone (how manly!).

Although, I think it is a girl! We will not know until little one is born.

First Prenatal Appointment

Alex, Avrum and I all went to the Dr Office for our Prenatal Visit...


It is recommended that I take baby aspirin because I had hypertension during Avrum's delivery. I do not agree with this one. Also, I am suppose to take a Calcium with Vitamin D3 supplement because Avee is still nursing, The Prenatal I am taking does not contain DHA supplement so I need another supplement for DHA.

It seems as though there are many Ultrasounds too. One during the 8th week, 16th week and 28th week. Depending on the testing we agree too, there could potentially be more. Seems excessive.
They need more information about Long QT Syndrome, which likely runs in our family.

Our next appointment is on October 20th
