And it starts...

Why?
Why?
Why?
Why?

and on, and on. At this point, I'm having fun trying to think up different answers for each "Why?", but I'm sure I'll tire of it soon enough.

SUA

So, according to my OB/Gyn, I have SUA, or Single Umbilical Artery. Normally, there are two arteries and one vein in the umbilical cord (who knew?). I only have one artery. Not that uncommon. Often it's not even noticed until the baby is born and they look at the umbilical cord.

According to the Dr. since everything else looked fine in the ultrasound, there is nothing to worry about (sometimes this occurs along with heart or kidney problems, but the 20 month ultrasound should show that). They'll do another ultrasound at 32 weeks to make sure the baby is growing, as there is a tendency for lower weight births.

Meh, but they had that concern for N and he came out just short of 8lbs.

Counting... for real

N is pretty good at reciting his numbers... well 1-29 anyway. I can't convince him yet that next is 30 not twenty-ten.

But I think he finally figured out how to count. He came up to me last week at daycare with a couple of dinosaur figures. Then said "Look Mom, I have dinosaurs. One, two", and stopped at two. Usually he'll keep counting for a while. But this time he held out each dinosaur individually while counting it. He looked really proud of himself.
