With just 4 1/2 months until our newest Basye, we decided to go ahead and try transitioning Liam out of his crib. We had not planned to kick him out until he was 3+ years old, but decided to try this so we can use the crib for the baby. We are on night 6 and he has slept in the bed every night so far. He gets up maybe once or twice to ask for something to be removed from the room (i.e. a book) but then does stay in bed for the rest of the night. So far, it is going well, especially since he is in a totally different room and this boy is extremely resistent to change (just like his mother!) Grandmichaele and Papa were so generous to buy all the furniture and it looks awesome. We still cannot get over that he has a "big boy" room. A lot still needs to be done, but the basics are all set.
Liam's sibling is doing well so far. We had an appointment on Friday and the heartbeat was around 140. We have a consult with a physician next month to see if I'm a candidate for VBAC (although not hoping for much since they told me I was probable c-section with Liam even before he was born). We also have an ultrasound on the 29th and hope to find out the sex of the baby.
This past weekend was spent with Grandmichaele and Papa. Yesterday, we went to a military airshow. It was really cool and we all had a blast. Liam thought the planes were too loud at first, but eventually got used to it. Even to the point where he fell asleep during the Thunderbird show (6 fighter planes flying all around overhead). LOL!
Liam had a ton of fun watching the planes,
Checking out a helicopter with Daddy,
And practicing riding the toddler step on our stroller for when his sister or brother will be riding (this thing is awesome...first time we tried it)
It was a great day and the planes were just awesome.
Next weekend, we will be heading out to Houston to see Nick and Sidonie. We are thrilled since we haven't seen them since Liam's 1st birthday. No doubt Liam does not remember Sidonie, but he is super-excited to see her for some reason. He keeps asking me when we are going to see Sidonie. It should be a blast!
I have just four more weeks of work left (thank God), so should hopefully have more time to update. Looking forward to the summer since we are keeping Liam home full-time and have several mini-vacations planned including the beach at Long Island, going to Nags Head, and Taylor and I will be going to England without Liam (Taylor has school there for two weeks and I will join him there for a third week of fun). Anyway, will be sure to update after the ultrasound next Tuesday!
As a reminder, be sure to click on Liam's Pictures (at the top left of his site) for more photos of what's been going on with us.
