Lesson Number 74 in parenting...

Note to self: DO NOT leave open containers of scrapbook paint in the trash where Gavin can reach, even if I DO think that it is completely dried out...

You can only imagine what happened today when I did just that. Of course, he waited until I was busy (on the potty) before he decided to be a painter. He painted the hallway carpet in about five different areas (big areas, too) and of course the hallway wall. Wish I would've taken a picture of it so I could scrap about it, but I was more concerned in getting it cleaned up before it dried. After spending most of the afternoon using different techniques to clean it up, I think its safe to say that I got about 98% of it off.
Let's just say that I really learned my leasson.


I haven't blogged in a bit, feeling a tad lazy, but I do have some news. I am officially feeling the baby move! I think I started feeling the movements around 14 weeks or so. At the time I thought it was too soon, but now that I have been feeling the movements more frequently now, I believe I really was feeling them all that time. I had forgotten what a wonderful feeling it is to feel the baby move.

My next appointment is February 6, in Anchorage this time. I will be seeing a doctor who specializes in high risk pregnancies. My doctor just wants to make sure that everything is good and that she hasn't missed anything. I will have another ultrasound at that time, too, so hopefully we'll get to find out if it's a boy or a girl! I'm really excited to find out!
