Carter and a Funny...

I had my 30 week appointment today and all is looking great! As I hadn't gained any weight in the last 2 months, it looked like Thanksgiving was enough to push me over that hump. It's okay as I am still right on track (unlike last time...). Carter's heartbeat was good and strong and he even kicked while the doc was checking the heartbeat. I am measuring right on schedule, as I did with Logan. We again discussed vbac vs. c-section and I still said just hang on...I want a growth ultrasound to see if I have a 'shot'. We'll see...I have a feeling I will end up with a scheduled c-section, but don't want to say 'yes' to it just yet. The doctor said, well he is not measuring big....I said, yeah well Logan didn't either. :) And somehow a 10 pounder was stuffed in there!

I now start going every 2 weeks, so my next appointment is the 15th. How exciting to be on a 2 week schedule already!!! With the holidays coming up, they scheduled all my appointments until mid-January! The nurse mentioned that doing Non-Stress tests is not in my plan, so that is good to know. Otherwise I would have to get a babysitter for Logan since that appointment lasts over a half hour.

Now the funny... Logan and I were waiting for the doctor. Logan was in his umbrella stroller with his sippy cup. He took a drink of water and started babbling, without swallowing. He had never done this before and it threw him off as he basically just spit water out. Oh man, I nearly lost it. I tried to remain straight-faced to tell him that we don't spit, but I just bust out laughing - and so did he! Naturally he did it a couple more times and just had such a hearty laugh. I think he just loved that he got me to laugh hard too - I had tears in my eyes; he was being just adorable. I then did stop the fun and got a paper towel to wipe the puddle on his shirt. We moved on...I thought he just may put up a stink about me taking his sippy cup away, but he didn't. Oh, gosh, it was just so funny!

We then left to go do some Christmas shopping and he did so well. I am so blessed that he is so well behaved in stores (for now....I am aware that someday, possibly soon he may change....or who knows, Carter may be a pickle).
