Cereal

Yesterday Sarah had cereal for the first time. She ate about half of it. (Better than today when she knocked over her bowl).
In other news, Sherri had more bloodwork today. Everything is moving along well - HCG 1146 and Progesterone 45.
On Monday we will have our first Ultrasound! I always liked those with Sarah because it reassured me everything was okay.

Here's Sarah's first non-liquid (but really still liquid) meal:

Happy Belated!

Just realized that we didn't post a 5 month picture. Sarah turned 5 months on August 3rd. I think the rest of the milestones are listed in previous posts. (Her tooth is getting so big!)

Updates and new pics

I had another blood test today and HCG levels are 555. I go back on Friday for another draw.. Yipee??? I had today off and got to spend it with Sarah which was great! We ran some errands, met my sister for lunch, played... I wish all days could be like this one (although less errands would be nice)
Here are a few shots taken during the past few days.
Sarah being cute in her crib

I can't believe how big Sarah is now. She used to only take up half the crib when laid down widthwise and now she is too long!

I thinks she has gotten used to posing for the camera

She loves playing with (and eating) her toes.

Teeth!!!!!!

Sarah is getting her first tooth. This little nub of a tooth (just below the fingertip on the left side of the photo) began coming in on Saturday. She's been a little bit cranky and has changed up her eating and drinking schedule a bit but so far it has not been too bad.

I had more blood drawn today and HCG levels were 267, just where they should be. I go in for another blood draw on Wednesday and expect the levels to be in the 400 range. Once the levels reach 1000 they will schedule our first ultrasound.

Testing the Webcam!

I'm not sure about this thing, but let's try one.

Sibling!!!!!

So it's official.. Sarah has a sibling on the way! (It's too early to know for sure if it's one or more, but I think it's only one) HCG levels were 137. I go back for more blood work on Monday and then will have our first ultrasound about a week later (I think). We will be keeeping track of everything on the blog, but are keeping the pregnancy news off of facebook for now.

We finally set up Sarah's high chair the other day. She's not eating solids yet, but since she likes to sit we thought she might enjoy sitting with us at the table etc. Here's a pic of her trying it out. Instead of food she's licking her "lollipop", a silver rattle that she got as a gift and loves to lick. :)

Milestones and Updates

I am off bed rest now but still have to take it easy. My mom was here this week and will be here again next week since I am not allowed to pick Sarah up, but at least I can hold her in my lap :)
About a week ago Sarah began to sleep through the night unswaddled .. Yeah!

Sarah can roll onto her tummy but still can't get off, but here's a video of "My little inch worm"

Thought I would duplicate one of my favorite pics from when she was younger... This time we got a smile (and what used to be long pants are now fairly short capris :)

More fun in the jumper today. She LOVES it!

I wish we lived in the snow cause she is sooooooo cute!
