Monday's Doctor Visit

I have been a terrible blogger lately. So sorry! I am having all kinds of laptop issues and then blogger wasn't cooperating. I am hoping all is good now!
Last Monday I had my third prenatal check-up. Everything still looks good. It took Dr. B. a long time to find the heartbeat but she finally did. My weight was exactly the same, which is awesome for me. I think with Imma I had already gained about 30 lbs., no joke. So the fact that I haven't gained any yet makes me really happy. And I've been eating whatever I want. I think it's the medicine that she gave me. It seems to help me digest everything and not let it sit there forever, not to be too descriptive.
We also had a parent meeting at the early childhood center last Monday. I was pretty anxious going in because I still hope that Imma doesn't qualify for any services but it helped that I knew both of the teachers that presented and they know Imma. One is even a Facebook friend! I think the test that they do is less heavy on the language portion so she shouldn't come across as "cognitively delayed." Still, I wish she would just choose to speak so we wouldn't have to worry about it anymore!
It has been really cold here lately. I am really ready for Spring!

Will this work?

I attempted to publish a post on Sunday that never went through. It said it didn't know if I was a real blog or spam. So, before I type anything else, let's hit publish and see!

Mommy and me time

Sorry we have been missing for a while. I have been really tired lately and my computer hasn't been charging very well.
Today was a day filled with mommy and me time! We watched Polar Express (yes, I know, it's mid-January, but who's gon'na argue with that face?). We puzzled for ours. We yelled "all fall down!" because that is our favorite part of Ring Around the Rosies--and then actually fell down about a dozen times. We played Little People Farm. Oh, and we tripped while walking on the couch and hit mommy in the trachea, causing her not to be able to swallow for several minutes. A good time was had by all!
I love spending time with Imma but she is very demanding! She doesn't talk much so it is hard to figure out what she wants. And she needs to be with me all the time. I think, for me, being a stay-at-home mom would never be an option. I am a better mom when we can play and then take a break from each other.
She has been saying a lot more words the last few weeks, so that's good. I think she will add more words as she gets older. This is all in support of my theory that she doesn't really need speech. . . .
Not a very exciting post but a good one for posterities sake!
