Brody in 3D

Warning. Random post with lots of different unrelated topics.

I swear Aiden says the cutest things these days. We got Buzz Lightyear and the backup Rexy in the mail (but he only saw Buzz). As we all were in the living room playing and hearing about his day, we asked him if he likes Buzz. He says "Yeah! Buzz keeps paci safe and Rexy keeps juice safe." hahahaha well that's just great!! I was worried there for a minute. ;-)

Then at bedtime he wanted Rexy on one side and Buzz on the other. Both tucked underneath the covers too. Oh and I had to give them kisses goodnight too. He is so cute!

Wednesday, I had to work from 2:30am-10:30am, on call yuck but I have to do it once in awhile so it's not too bad. But I told Aiden Gabby was taking him to school because I can't leave my PC and he was SO SO excited...I imagine this drop off will be very hard. He asked today if she was coming to school and I said she was going to work like Mommy and Daddy. "I wanna go to work." hahaha Go for it!
----------------------------------------------------
We have the best neighbors as I've mentioned before! Always doing sweet things for us. Wes comes home this afternoon to find a card at our door with a gift card and a thank you note for mowing the ditch all summer. So unnecessary, Wes does it regardless. Good deeds always returned.

Our big thing we are working on with Aiden is not to bully. This weekend he definitely showed us what he's got. We gave Carlos and Aiden a drink, next thing we know Aiden is getting mad at Carlos (hitting him and yelling) because he thinks he took his drink. But it was sitting next to me. I told him over and over no no that's not yours Aidens, here is yours. Didn't work because next thing we know Aiden TOTALLY man handled Carlos and pulled a WWE move on him taking him to the ground. Carlos is in complete shock. I snatch Aiden up, spank him, the waterworks gets pouring. I explain to him what he did wrong and to tell Carlos he's sorry and give him a hug. But I definitely want to nip this in the butt because with him being the size of a 4 year old it's very easy for him to "bully".
----------------------------------------------------
Now the real reason of the post.
Tuesday I was at the doctors office from 8:30-11:30. Man! I met with my nutritionist, then my obgyn, but to start off the day I got to see the Brodster! Last time I got to see him was during my 19week appointment. Everything looked great, they got some great pictures due to the large amount of fluid. His position is horizontal, head on my left side. We caught him sleeping his back facing up and his head tucked into me. Once we got him moving she was so surprised I could feel all his movements because of the amount of fluid, I was like ehhh I feel EVERYTHING! (The one good thing about lots of fluid, great pictures. But it explains why I have trouble sleeping sometimes and have to stay elevated.)

I now have to go in weekly (yeah for seeing him that much!) to measure. But right now he was weighing 4.5lbs, small considering I have 10lb babies. lol They were expecting him to weigh 6! OMG! His head isn't measuring HUGE haha ear to ear it was normal (maybe he will get to wear all the baby hats Aiden never could wear). 10 toes and 10 fingers. We could see some hair on his head. They also had to turn on the 3D for some shots needed so they turned it on for my facial shots. :-) I was excited about that since I never did that with Aiden. He looks JUST like his big brother! What do you think?!
It's kind of amazing all what they could see. They took pictures of his kidneys, stomach, heart, esophagus, spine, umbilical cord point of entry on him, and normal head, feet, tummy shots. Then they flipped a switch and it was blue and red lights showing his blood flow. Very cool. Then they took sound waves of his umbilical cord (did you know it pulsates?) and his heartbeat was 156bpm.
I'm definitely getting more uncomfortable now...my belly is rock hard and because of all that extra fluid the doc said I should take it even more easy these last few weeks. Easier said than done, but I will try. I still have the biggest organizing project left....the kitchen. It might take me more than 1 weekend to finish that at my recommended pace. :-( Daddy is finishing up on Brody's closet this weekend and next (finishing off the dry wall, installing baseboards, painting, installing the organizer fun stuff right!?)
