I'll post first, then cuop.
Long day with dgs but fun. "Nana" now means Grandpa too (just like Daddy and Mommy means either parent, the one at hand and the other one.)
He ate a huge breakfast. A whole banana, a few cheerios (before our meals came), 1/2 piece of toast, whole sausage, roughly half my 2 eggs scrambled, at least half my hash browns and it was a large serving.
He was starving when we got him and was eating the banana as fast as I could cut up pieces for him. He was signing for more and when I didn't cut fast enough, he'd sign more frequently and then broadly, so dh told him he didn't have to yell! He was certainly going for emphasis!
Ds finished eating first so picked up is sister.
Her appointment went well which means there's another one Thursday and possibly Friday or Saturday will be the big one. This is the most involved dh and I have been in the process (although we did the driving after IVF and also when dgs was conceived) so we aren't used to not being hopeful. Both of us feel she'll get pregnant this round and that's based on nothing. It took 7 times this method plus two unsuccessful rounds of IVF before she got dgs. I just keep thinking her body knows what to do this time.
We got to the museum just an hour after opening and didn't get to see it all before it was time for dh to leave. We had a nice lunch together. Dgs was starving and didn't believe dh that we were getting food so finally he pushed the high chair over (it was on wheels) so he could see us buying food! Apparently he had been both signing and saying his word for food, again with increasing emphasis.
We just had a lovely day together as a family. This was the kids birthday present to dh and it really was a wonderful time. Dgs was very engaged with his surroundings even if he didn't understand a thing he was seeing. There was a toddler area but we missed it by accident so he was on his own amusing himself by exploring his surroundings. I walked him most of the time because I wanted him engaged, not just looking out from the stroller.
I'm completely exhausted now. My pedometer reads just 3200 steps but I feel like I've walked 10K!
I'm having decaf tea and sitting with my legs elevated. I'm texting with ds about the house. We'll go see it tomorrow or the next day. He's working tonight so it would be late tomorrow.
