I went into labor with Nolan for the first time at 32 1/2 weeks. I'm 30 1/2 weeks now. So, will I go into labor again in 2 weeks or will I make it to full-term?
No one knows. The drs are doing everything to get me to term, but with a history of 2 premature births my chances aren't good.
The stress is really starting to get to me (Cary will tell you - my emotions are everywhere!). I keep thinking about everything I need to do and I might only have 2 weeks left to do everything. Or I might have 9 weeks left. If I make it term, I'll have a scheduled c-section in week 39. The dr told me that at my last appointment. Then added that our first goal is to get me to 37 weeks or at least 35 weeks.
I told my drs I'm having 2-3 contractions a day. They were thrilled. How many people make their drs happy when they have contractions at 30 weeks? They were thrilled that I'm having only 2-3 contractions a day.
Nolan is still growing. He's quickly approaching his terrible twos. I'll try to post pictures of him. Cary got some good pictures of Nolan at the pool a couple of weeks ago. (I'm not allowed to go to the pool, so we got Nolan a baby pool. He plays in the pool and I sit next to the pool.)

Boring is good
I went to the doctor yesterday. It was another nice, boring appointment. I love those. The baby is about 2 lbs, 13 ozs. Everything looks great. We still don't know the sex!!
I go to the OB next week and back to the perinat in 2 weeks. I hope things continue to be nice and boring.
I'm *almost* enjoying my boring pregnancy.

Circle
We all know Nolan is a genius . Thought you'd like to hear the latest genius thing he did:
Saturday night we were at a friends house. He looked up in the sky, pointed, and said "circle." I turned to see what he was pointing at - there was a circle-shaped moon.
A couple of weeks ago we were at another friends house. Nolan was playing on my friend's son's toddler bed.
He would get up on the bed, crawl around, lay down, and get back down. One time when he was getting up on the bed, he stopped, turned to us and said "I get up here."
The dr told us he would start putting 2 words together. She didn't mention anything about 4 words! What really impresses me is how clearly he saids his words. Most of his words, anyone can understand. He only has a few in baby language (i.e. "gaa" for ball)
Pregnancy is still going great. No changes. I go to the OB every other week and to the perinat every other week. I'm still getting my weekly 17P shots (they help prevent preterm labor).
I have now made it past the gest. age when I delivered Caleb. That was a great day. In the next couple of days, I will start my 3rd trimester.
We still haven't found out the sex of this baby! Cary thinks it's a boy, I think it's a girl.
We do have a girl's name picked out. We had a boys name picked out until I mentioned another name I heard. Now we have 2 names for a boy.

Nolan's week
I'm still here and I'm still pregnant.
Everything is still going perfect with the pregnancy. Starting next week I'll be seeing a dr at least once a week - either the OB and the perinat (the high-risk dr).
Here is post I wrote weeks ago, but never posted. I'll add pictures later. I'm so tired - between working full time, chasing after a 1 1/2 year old, and being about 3000 weeks pregnant, I'm exhausted.
We went to the aquarium Thursday (April 24). We make a point to spend the anniversary of Caleb's death together as a family every year. We had fun. Nolan enjoyed the fish. His favorite was the beluga whales.
We took 2 pictures before our camera batteries died. Just before we left, we got some batteries at the gift shop and went back to the places Nolan really enjoyed for pictures. But, he was done. We took a couple of pictures and left. Nolan was asleep before we were out of the parking deck.
He has learned so much this week. He is a little sponge.e
He now says "no, no, no" and shakes his head.
When he hears "yes" he will node his head and sometimes say "yes."
He makes a fish face.
He makes elephant motion.
And he started saying "apple" and "circle."
All this week! (which was actually a couple of weeks ago)

Nolan stories
These stories have been building up waiting for some one (cough me cough) to tell them to you. So, here are some Nolan stories.
The other day Nolan was playing with a reese's easter egg. It was time to start making dinner. While I was walking to the kitchen I shouted back at Nolan ( jokingly) "You can have it if you can open it." I didn't think anything more about it. Until Cary said "Did you just tell him he could have that?" I said "Yay, if he can open it. Why? "
Cary: "It's in his mouth."
Me (while quickly going into the living room to see what Nolan was doing ) : "The whole thing?"
Cary: "Yes"
I walked into the living room to find the empty wrapper on the couch next to Nolan and the whole reese's egg in his mouth. I looked at him and said "You ate mom's candy." He gave me this look like "You said I could have it."
The boy loves his candy and I did say he could have it..
The other day Nolan and I were in his room playing. A couple people walked by outside talking to each other.
Nolan looked at me and said "Who dat?"
I guess Cary's been teaching him ebonics.
He got an ABC puzzle for Christmas. If I ask him to show me his ABC's, he will go sit on the puzzle. If he hears someone singing the ABC song, he will "sing" with them.
Nolan's words:
lalana = banana
daa = ball (some times gaa)
who dat = who is that?
what dat = what is that?
what dis = what is this?
kitty cat = kitty cat
mama = mommy
daddy = daddy
gone gone or all gone = all gone
panting or barking = dog
eow = meow
isty = Misty (one of our cats)
Inka = Minka (Cary's parents' dog)
oom oom = vroom, vroom - every time he sees or rides in a car you will hear oom oom
ka ka cake, ka ka cake (with clapping) = patty cake, patty cake
issy issy ider = itsy bitsy spider
Hi = hi
book = book
I'll add to the list as I remember words - he has a lot!! He is a verbal freak. He has more words then the average 1 1/2 year old. (of course, you knew he would have some freakness - he did come from Cary and me. ;) )
note: my computer does strange things with letters while I type on blogs. I'll correct any typos later - on a different computer.
