I've been feeling a little down for a few weeks, but am finally starting to feel better. I think the anticipation of getting away to see family and friends in Iowa is helping me come out of the funk I have been in. Of course, now I have a cold/sinus infection going on, so that has kept us stuck in the house a bit lately. I am finally in to the 2nd trimester of pregnancy (15 weeks, 2 days as of today) and feeling better. I can finally eat again! Last Tuesday night, I felt the baby move for the first time. I felt it about 4 times. I had a few other times recently that I thought I felt it, but turned out to be gas, so I was skeptical this time, but it really was the baby. ;-) My next appt is in two weeks, so will update more then on how everything looks.
On Monday, I went to Costco and picked up a drink on the way home. Well, I was about a half mile from home and went to take a drink and the lid popped off and the whole soda fell over in my purse and a bit on the floor of the new minivan. Luckily I had been wanting a new purse, so this gave me an excuse to get one! :) I did not; however, think it was amusing that everything (including my digital camera) that was inside my purse got ruined or very sticky. I guess that will teach me I really don't need to cheat and have a little caffeine once and a while. :-/ I think being pregnant has made me really clumsy.
The kids are doing pretty good. It's hard to believe they are 23 months old now! Katerina has had a couple of mishaps lately involving a tooth and a concrete picnic table and a dresser climbing experience...oh and a toddler picnic table and nose experience too, but looks like all is healing. Anyone want to send me a bubble wrap suit for her??? Nikolai is going through a phase where he likes to hit and push his sister. He's been spending a lot of time in timeout lately so I hope this phase is short lived. He is really getting a pretty big vocabulary and has some two and three word phrases he is saying like "train no way" when his sister tries to play with his trains. The love the new minivan, mostly because it means they get to watch "Word World". Katerina is starting to be more and more vocal, but she's also becoming a bit of a drama queen at times. She also had her first toenail and fingernail polish this week. She sat so still while I put it on and gave me each finger to do. It is a really light pink so doesn't show up too well in pictures or I would have posted one.
I have one more week of my 3rd and final Wilton Cake Decorating class coming up this week. I'll be glad to be done and hope to use some of the things I have learned for Katerina and Nikolai's birthday cakes this June if I am feeling ambitious enough.
We're planning to take the kids to Old Bonnie Springs tomorrow. It's an old mining town that has some fun attractions now like a museum and a petting zoo. Hopefully the weather is nice and I will post some pictures on facebook early next week.
