This might seem like a funny blog title for those of you who tell me every time you see Gabe "Oh my gosh he's getting so big!" He is getting big, at least for him! I've always known he was small for his age though (born 6 lbs 13 oz). He had his 6 month appointment today and he is now weighing in at 15 lbs 5 oz, which puts him in the 10% for his age group. His height however (27") is in the 75%, so according to his peditrition he is just 'tall and skinny'. I was a little worried (first time mom worries kicking in) but she assured me he's just fine - he's got nice chunky legs, he's happy and he's meeting all his milestones on time. He's just not a big eater, and he never has been. I can't make him eat more, but she assured me that he will eat whatever he needs and to not worry about it.
He had his shots today, and I think we would have gotten away tear free if he'd only had to have one. He didn't even notice the first one and was having a good time with mommy distracting him. The 2nd one must have been more painful, and we had a lot of tears and crying after that. He's now home and was super sleepy so I set him under his playgym and he's sleeping away there while mom has some nice alone time on the computer. :-)

A new baby
I've been wanting to write this blog for awhile, but I wanted it wait and make sure that everything was going well first. Now that I know it is, I'm so happy to announce this.
Nathan and I found out in August that we are expecting our second child. It was a big surprise, but a happy one. I had my first OB appointment yesterday and everything looks good, though the doctor couldn't find the heartbeat and that worried me. We had an ultrasound later in the day and everything looks good. Baby is measuring 11 weeks 2 days and had a strong heartbeat of 154. I admit that I cried seeing the baby wiggling around on the screen.
Tentitive due date is April 25, 2010. So not quite Irish twins, but close!
Here is a picture of the little baby bean. It's kind of blurry since the baby wouldn't stay still.
