Halfway?

Strange. At this exact point--16 weeks 4 days--in my pregnancy with Easton I was exactly halfway through the pregnancy. It makes me wonder how this time might go. Am I already halfway done? Am I not even close? I feel encouraged by the care my doctors are giving me and I'm fairly confident that this pregnancy outcome will be better than last time. Even if it's not perfect it'd be hard to be worse than before. Boy, last time was a real doozy, eh? :) Seriously, though I'm not too worried about things this time. I'm not sure why but I like it.

Easton has been puke free for over 24 hours now. That's a good thing. He's still pretty stuffy and coughy though.

We made it to Circle Time this morning. Easton didn't do his best. I thought he might do really well. He was practicing his patting and hand motions in the car but once it was time for the stories he didn't want to sit. The best I could do was get him to lay on the floor. Well, that was quite tempting to a 9 month old girlie crawling about. She kept coming over to E and patting him on the head and tummy. Easton didn't mind a bit, in fact he wanted her to come visit. I felt bad for that baby's mom because I don't think she wanted that happening but if Easton was laying on the floor her daughter wanted to be with E. We eventually made it through the session which was about apples today. Mmmm. She gave out Apple Cinnamon Cheerios as a fun treat afterwards. Eating those was the only time Eassie-Bug would sit still.

I've switched my Same Time Last Year video to our first zoo trip last year with Easton's gal pal Isabelle. She moved away. :( Anyway, I'm using Zippy Videos as my video hoster right now instead of mostly Putfile so let me know if it's helping or hindering some of you: Mom...Britten...J at work...

And then speaking of video, if you want to click on the picture of Easton below you can see a long video of him getting in some baby practice. He was just being so sweet and quite gentle with his "Baby" yesterday and I just sat there with the camera observing.

Practicing swaddling and cuddling:



And then moving on to typical big brother stunts like stuffing the baby in a basketball hoop:


With the inflatable tub popping Easton took a swim in the big tub last night. He enjoyed himself but it just takes too much water to do it regularly. Water is far from free, you know. 'Specially in Colorado. I think I'll get a new tub tomorrow.


Alrighty, I switched my book too. I'm reading the same one Britty's reading and I'm on page 136 I've just been too lazy to update it on here. Oops. I just realized it is a Richard Gere movie. Gotta add that to my Netflix list for when I'm done. I love watching the movie after I've read a book.

Okay, so all y'all have a nice day. I'm off to enjoy E's nap.

ETA: Dang it...I just checked out the ol' Zippy Video and between uploading yesterday's zoo video and today's Baby Practice video they've switched to some dumb beta version and it's not even working for me. Poop on a log. Now I'm trying You Tube for at least the Baby Practice video. Argh!
