Catching up

Where does the time go? I can't believe that is has been so long since I've posted. Like everyone else, so much has been going it's a challenge for me to keep up! Unlike everyone else, I'm going to break the "one holiday" rule and update back to Halloween! Sorry, I'm such a rebel.

Chloe had her three year check up. She was in the 80th percentile for height (37 inches), 40th for weight (~29lbs) and 7th for her BMI. So she's generally pretty tall and skinny, as we already knew. She's so adorably cute and saying the craziest things. As soon as the halloween stuff was out at Target, we were trying to prepare her with all things Halloween so she wouldn't be scared when it came time to go to the H house. Well, we did a little bit too much preparing, so to this day she tells us about the witch and ghost at Target and that they aren't there anymore and they aren't scary and.. and... and... It's been quite the shift to get her to talk about and get excited for Christmas.

We took a couple of trips to 101 market to jump in the corn, go on a train ride and enjoy the general merriment.

We made a few trips to my parents where Chloe just plays until she crashes (she always has such a wonderful time!)

She also likes playing with her cousins.

We are also preparing for another addition to the Bolla Family since we are pregnant with a due date at the end of June! It's both exciting and exhausting. Up until this point everything has been pretty much the same as when we were expecting Chloe. I have been struggling with morning (who are we kidding all day) sickness. My doctor gave me some medication, but it's not as effective as the good (and VERY, VERY expensive) stuff I took last time. She said she would change me over if it wasn't effective, and I was trying to avoid some of the side effects of the other anti-nausea medication. Right now those side effects would be well worth some relief. I will be calling her soon to get the strong stuff! I decided to change doctors and I have been happy with our interactions and her approach so far. With this new doctor, we are also planning on delivering at the new Maple Grove Hospital, which will be different this time around.

We already had one ultrasound a couple of weeks ago. We got a good look at a perfectly forming little baby. The heart rate was at 144 beats per minute. We were able to point out the baby on the big screen in the room and told Chloe, "Look, there's a baby!" Chloe asked, "Is it me?!"

Thanks for your patience as I've neglected the blog. I promise to try to be better!

Now I'm going to go to bed, I'm so exhausted I can barely stand it!
