Zoo!

Ms. Sandy, Andrea, and I took Adeline to the zoo recently. Adeline was interested in the animals (somewhat) but she had much rather pick up sticks and rocks - or play in mud puddles! Kids.

Back Prob-lems

Some of you have probably checked and wondered, where the heck is she? Well, for the past two days, the answer has been incapacitated. Serious lower back pain - not just the common I'm-carrying-extra-pregnancy-weight variety, but the I-hope-this-is-not-labor kind. I had this same occurence at about this same time with Adeline, and I'll spare you all the details, but let's just say it's an alarming thing. It's slowly getting better, the only problem is I pretty much have to stay off my feet, which is not possible if you live with an 18-month-old. But I do have good news, I had my monthly check-up last week, and no gestational diabetes! Not even close. That's a very good thing.

Adeline also had a check-up on Monday. She didn't like being poked and prodded anymore than last time, but I didn't get a speech about strong-willed children from the doctor. (Whew!) Probably had to do with the fact that I went earlier in the day, and saw a different doctor. She's still tall and skinny, but the weight gain is picking up. I felt so bad when they gave her the shot, because I know by now she fully understands what's coming and wonders why I let them do that to her.

I don't have any new pics, cause the couch is not the best angle for taking them, but I can show you the bag I found on sale at Target Monday. Cute, huh? Note: I bought the white one, which I think looks better than this black one. Only $19.00, what a deal.



Happy Mother's Day to all you mommys out there!
