And we are army crawling!
I will get a video at some point...but we can officially add "crawling" to our list of developmental skills. It's army/commando style but gone are the days of leaving us to our own devices unattended....we definitely do not stay where we are put.

Signs of Pre-term labor
It's probably no surprise that anything to do with preemies and raising awareness for pre-term labor is becoming a passion of mine. I remember being particularly worried about this throughout my pregnancy with Elisa and was always looking for information on what exactly pre-term labor was so that I could recognize it if it started happening to me.
Little did I know I would actually experience it, and I did not fall into any of the categories of symptoms I could find. I did not experience what I would call menstral cramps. It was a constant low down pelvic pain. It did not come and go. It stayed. And only in the evening. I did not have pressure. I did have an increase in discharge BUT I was told this was "normal" third trimester symptoms.
This is a cheesy video put out by the March of Dimes but it does give some different symptoms than even I experienced. But it's good information. It is so surprising to me to think that 1 in 8 babies are born early.
It's also a bit surprising that high risk mom's for pre-term labor are those who are under a lot of stress. Guess I really should learn to control that stress part of my personality.

UGH
That's all I have to say today. Just wasn't ready for Monday. Doesn't help that buggar is going through a growth spurt so we are up multiple times a night begging for food. We've had several 36 oz days and yesterday was a 41 oz!?
On a positive note...we are even closer to crawling. Apparently diapers and toes are our favorite thing to go after.
Ok. Back to the day. Is bed an option?

So I have a personality....
Here are two video's for your enjoyment. The first is our dinner conversation last night. I LOVE her facial expressions. She is definitely into telling us her story. I can't wait to actually UNDERSTAND her story.
The next is from our playtime at Grandma's today. We decided we didn't care how we got to play with the toy, as long as we got to play with it.
Good news is we decided to sit for a little bit....

Proof that we just needed the right motivation?
So, did we decide to do all the things mommy was upset over because we saw mommy break down last week? In one day?
