My little walker

I made the mistake of taking Jack out of his stroller to walk around the mall.....first of all, the kid does NOT like his hand held and secondly, he wants to go every which way but the route I want him to and third it was a pain in the bum trying to get him back into his stroller.  He had a taste of independence and he liked it!  Mommy, not so much :)  Okay, I love seeing him stroll around like he owned the place but he is a 13 month old on a mission - a mission to ditch mom and explore the mall!  In all seriousness though, he is a blast and seeing him grow and develop this spunky can-do personality just makes me all giddy inside.  Not sure how juggling two is going to go.  I REALLY hope Chloe will like hanging out in the Baby Bjorn as long as she can because I have no idea how I'm going to wrangle Jack in while trying to manage a newborn in a stroller.

Speaking of Chloe, all went well at my last Dr.'s appointment - yay!  My blood pressure was very low which explains why I can sometimes feel not so great but low is much better than high for sure and it poses no risk at the moment.  I have only gained 7 lbs so far and at this point I was at a 15 lb weight gain with Jack.  Chasing after an active one-year-old has it's benefits I suppose :)  Due date is the 22nd of August (it at one point was to be the 26th but it's back to the 22nd).  I am feeling pretty good and thankful all is well with the pregnancy.  Good health is so easily taken for granted and the fact that my family is healthy is an enormous blessing.

Well, that's all for tonight folks.
