So we are 95% sure that...

it's a girl.  My little one kept crossing and uncrossing (her) legs so there were times when Pete (our ultrasound guy) said it could pass for a scrotum, though he doubted it.   So I am getting another u/s on the 19th of July to confirm and get the picture.  But for now it's 95% Maggie Rose.  I must say, I was pretty shocked.  I was sure it was a boy!! I actually thought I would have all boys.

Anyway, our little guy is getting a couple new teeth, and boy these have been the worst of the bunch.  Will only sleep with us the past two nights and cries the second you put him in the crib!  It makes for some restless sleep, but hopefully tonight will be better.   It almost seems that he just likes the freeness of the bed -- I laid him down there before I laid down and he was perfectly fine, even without me laying down.  So maybe transitioning to a toddler bed will be easy!

Climbing

PJ is a climber.  He will climb anything.  Furniture, chairs, shoes, toys, ANYTHING.  His latest thing is to push the stepstool over to the chair, couch, etc., and climb up it so he can up on the chair or couch.  Yesterday he used his drum to get on the glider.  This is gonna be fun.  He is so proud when he gets up there too.  Just sits there like a big boy.  

I love that he's more independent in the world of transportation.  I hated when people would be all "Oh you'll hate when he starts walking and getting into everything." Um.  STFU.  Do you know how much EASIER it is to have a child that is mobile on his own?   A child that can walk over to you, or come to you when you ask him to?  This is wonderful!   Plus it will be very helpful that he's independent when his little brother or sister (we're still leaning towards brother) comes to town.

I did the pee test.  Boy was that 24 hours of annoying.   But it's done, and I dropped off my pee in all its glory and got my blood taken and that's over.  So the next annoying thing is the glucose test, in 6 weeks or so.   But the next exciting thing is the ultrasound to find out once and for all if Twig has a twig.

6 weeks, 4 days?

Maybe.  I'll find out for sure on Thursday!  My first ultrasound is Thursday morning at 9 a.m.  I hate this one though, because I have to drink 32 ounces of water and not pee.  I think I usually only drink about 20 because I seriously cannot hold it that long.  It's excruciating.  But luckily it shouldn't take that long -- but I'll get to see the heartbeat.  Yay!!!

Poor little PJ is still having sleeping issues.  He wakes up around midnight then around 3, and it seems he'll only settle down if he's laying in our bed, which is a problem.  I know I need to stop doing that, but it's hard when I am so damn exhausted.  Tonight, I am going to try and get him to go back into his own bed.  I just can't bear to hear him cry.  I am hoping now that he's gonna be on whole milk, it might help him to sleep better.
