18 Months

We had Grace's 18 month appointment yesterday here are her stats:

Weight: 23 lbs (35%)
Length: 31" (25%)
Head: 18 3/4" (85%)

Grace is following a funny curve on the charts as one appt. she goes up on the charts and the next she goes down, but no one is concerned so I won't be either.

We also visited the orthotic Dr. who casted Grace for the braces on her feet. We are getting the braces called SMO's and they will only go to just past her ankle and they should help to keep her feet straight when she walks. We get the braces on June 2nd, we are hoping it won't be long before she walks in them as when she is walking in her braces we don't have to go to PT as much anymore.

That is about all from here. I am still not feeling the best and infact feeling worse as they days go on, I am hoping that if I do have "morning sickness" that it does not last as long as last time. For right now 8:30pm is a great bed time!

More News!

Yep you read that right! Grace is going to be a big sister.

My due date is January 13th so that makes me 5 weeks along. Now before you chastize me for speaking too soon about being pregnant I would like to just point out that I would rather you all know then having to explain to you that I was pregnant and I lost the baby.

I am feeling pretty well, very tired and somewhat nauseous. Being pregnant with grace was hard but being pregnant with a toddler is hard as well. But the nice thing is, is there is a great distraction to how lousy you feel. I will keep everyone updated as I know more.

The Best Mother's Day Present

So I am sure you are all wondering what the best Mother's Day present could be, well it is when your 18 month child decides to walk! Yep, Grace did walk a few weeks ago at PT but she hadn't done it since until Sunday morning at church where she discovered she could get around. It was so nice and Scott got to see it too before anyone else did!

The big question now is will she still have to have her braces and I believe that answer is yes but we may be putting it off a little bit, I guess we will find out on Thursday.

And She's Off!

Well Idon't have any pictures or video to prove it but Grace took her first unassisted steps this morning while in Physical Therapy. The first time she took 4 steps the second time she took six and the third and final time she took 10! She really thought she was hot stuff and I admit I did too! I was so excited I almost started to cry, I know what a sap, but to know all that we've been through in the last year and a half its nice to know she is almost caught up with her skills. We will try and get pictures tonight so that I can post for you, I really wish i had a video camera so that I could show you a video of it.
