Baby Date

I went to the Dr yesterday and he would like to start me on April 7th. I have another appointment before then where he will decide if I am ready. When I had Max, my water broke and we went to the hospital. I was not having contractions and the nurse put me on platoson to get the hard labor going. Max was born about 5 hours after that. My body seems to respond extra well to the meds. In fact, I'm not sure what happened, but my body started to shake uncontrollably...I had an epidural and the shaking stopped. I'm not really in love with the idea of being induced but Curtis' family is leaving town on Friday and my Parents are leaving on Monday. I'm still trying to decide. Dr. Nance was really against inducing me with Max so I was really surprised at his offer. I guess I still have until Monday to decide.

Train Day

Saturday afternoon we decided to make a Max day and do the things he likes to do. He is now into trains. We went to Park city to do some shopping (not really what Max wanted to do). After the shopping was complete, we went to Dairy Keen in Heber. Max loved to watch the train circle above him. Every time it came into sight he would yell, "Choo! Choo!"
After dinner we went to the Heber Valley Railroad. They are closed until May so we just looked at all the train cars. Once again Max would yell, "A choo! A choo!"
We headed for home but decided to make a quick stop at Toys R Us. We have been considering buying him a train set for a while now. We decided on the one shown above. Max loves it! The track sends off bells and whistles when the train cars move over designated spots.
He is using a lot of words to let us know what he wants when he plays. "Elp" or help is a favorite. The train cars are connected by magnets so if he has one turned the wrong way or if one comes apart, he will ask me or Curtis for help. I am sure this is the best Toy purchase we have made this far.

Ten Things I love

1. Nap time; this is happening right now. I love this part of my day.
2. Tulips; they are still growing despite the bad weather.
3. Singing in the shower; I don't do this often because it is usually to early or happens during nap time.
4. A clean car; I need to work on this.
5. A good project; I'm still working on a few things for the "boy's room"
6. Banana pancakes; a new found love.
7. new babies; mostly when they are not crying...and I'm not so sleep deprived.
8. Friend phone calls; thanks for calling today Teresa, I needed a little adult conversation
9. Sunshine; it is finally starting to warm up...every few days.
10. Family; I love it when Curtis gets home and we are a family again for a few awake hours. Sometimes this doesn't happen until the weekend.

Max's final diognosis

Max has a double ear infection. Finally some antibiotics for the poor kid. He has been so sick for the past week. We've all really felt bad for the 'lil guy. Hopefully we are on the road to recovery.
