The Past Week Or So...

2nd Baby Buchan @ 11 weeks, 2 days.

This is such a cool pic, cuz if you know what you are looking at, you can see the nose, teeth buds, spine, arms, and legs. I drank coffee before my ultrasound, which made for an awsome ultrasound. Baby was moving like crazy! But it didn't make for great pics... they are pretty blurry, cuz baby was moving...he he he

So here are some pictures of this week that I couldn't resist sharing!!! I love my little girl, she is so so cute! This week Ashlyn learned to walk. Actually, mostly today she learned to walk long distances. She was taking steps before her birthday, and would would only walk between people with lots of encouragement. Now she is using walking as a mode of transportation. She can walk quite a ways, but still falls all the time. She will get the hang of it more though, by this time next week, she'll be walking circles around me. They learn so fast, its amazing!

This week, I also took Ashlyn's sucky away. My main reason behind it was because I was getting up 7-8 times a night to "re-plug" her. It was annoying, especially since up untill she was 10 months old, she was an awsome little sleeper. She always took good long naps, and never woke up at night for her sucky. It was the odd time that I would have to nurse her, or give her a bottle during the night right from day one. It scared me to think that I have a baby on the way and my 13.5 month old was getting up 7-8 times a night. I had a convorsation with my cousin Joelle about it, and she suggested I take it away and see what happens. So I was debating whether or not it was time to take it away when I went to a birthday party. There was a little girl that was 3 there, walking around with a sucky in her mouth. I didn't want my kid to be the kid that was 3 and still had a sucky. The first day, she didn't nap till she was so exhasted she could help but sleep. That night was pretty rough, but she did pretty good for her first night. Yesterday was day 2. She went down for both her nap and bed time with out crying!!!! Lastnight she only woke up 2 times, cried for 5 minutes and went back to sleep. She slept till 9! WOOT WOOT. I think she was ready to give it up, and thats why it wasn't so difficult.

These 2 pictures are from getting ready to go to her friend Linden's
1st birthday party.

I love her expression in this pic, it's so her!

Well I hope you are all enjoying my blog, and getting a peek into our family!

Bye for another day,

Growing Up

My little baby is growing up! Last night Ashlyn didn't want to eat her supper, so to get her interested, I gave her the spoon. I showed her how to use it. She did pretty well. It was messy, but it got more food in her than I could have. She was so proud of herself that she was using to spoon! She had a little bit of trouble getting the food on the spoon, but had no problems getting it to her mouth. I can't beleive how big she is getting!

At 13 months old, Ashlyn still isn't walking. Not that she can't. She can actually walk lengthwise accross out living room, she just still prefers to crawl. Thats ok with mommy. If I can keep her a little more baby for a little while longer, I will.

The last little while I have just been enjoying my little baby. I am taking advantage of all the cuddles, and giggles, and grins now, while its just me and her. It hasn't been me and her since she was 2 months old. I only have about 6 months left with just her and I and I tend to take advantage of it.

Which brings me to my pregnancy. I have had about 4 days in a row where I haven't been sick! There are still moments, but they are pretty few and far between. I've cut down to one diclectine instead of four!!! This is the first time that I have been pregnant and not puking...WOW!!! It gives me hope that we may be able to have another one. We had pretty much made the decision that this was going to be the last, but only becuase of how sick I get. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the rest of this pregnancy goes well! I am 11 and 1/2 weeks already. Wow, time flies by. By this time next week, I will be into my second trimester!!!! Also, baby is considered a fetus now :)

I learned a week ago about, that I am am going to be an Auntie again!!! Daniels brother and his wife are expecting! Jen is about 5 weeks ahead of me. 2 babies in the family so close together!!!!! That means our baby is actually Grandbaby number 3 on both sides!!! Ashlyn was the first!

Well, its time for me to go. Milo has a bath appointment I need to take him too, and Ashlyn a doctors appointment!!

Chow for now!
