Quick Update

Just a quick post to update you on my last couple weeks....

Me:

• Kids at school are driving me crazy. I'm starting to think it's time for a job switch...or another maternity leave. Hahaha.
• Looking into a MA in Library Media Specialist. I think my dream job real is to be a school librarian. Now to find the time and money to complete this degree...
• Went and saw the infertility doctor a week ago. Our plan is to try an altered version of what worked to get Max. It will save us some money (almost a thousand dollars a month!) if it works. If it doesn't, we'll go back to the heavy hitting expensive method. The goal is to get pregnant within three months.
• Been going to the gym. I hate every minute of it. But I don't want to gain too much weight with a second pregnancy. I'm already back up to my biggest pants size. I refuse to go any higher.
• Reading a ton of fantasy books. Currently reading Evermore, a vampire book. Pretty good. Got it from my 14 year old sister. :)

Kendall

• Working crazy Urgent Care to pay for our fertility
• Enjoying being a partner in his practice and no longer an employee
• Also working out at the gym, but going at 5 AM (ICK!). He at least has a workout buddy though.

Max

• 14 months old
• Can't say any new words (I worry about this so much) but is babbling like crazy. The other day we were looking for his pacifier on the floor and I was calling out for it in a sing-song voice. He started imitating me. HILARIOUS.
• Lets go of the cart in the store and says "Wheeee!!!" if I do it first. Makes people in the store laugh.
• Still not walking without assistance. He will walk back and forth in the basement a million times with a cart or his little red car. He laughs while he does it.
• Likes "This Little Piggy". Is giggling by the third toe (This little piggy had roast beef.) and actively puts his toes back for each line.
• Won't say "Up" when he wants to be held (even though I say it every time I pick him up) but reaches out both arms and flexes his fingers. So stinkin' cute!
• We have created a goofball by teaching him to put everything on his head. We started doing it with stacking cups. Now HE does it with Mega Bloks, balls, his dinner plate, etc. and finds it HILARIOUS.
