We went back to the doctor yesterday for my checkup and I am happy to report that everything is great with Baby #2! The heartbeat was 154 beats per minute and the doctor gave me two new options for the terrible headaches I've been having. I love to go to the doctor and get in and out with a great report! :) Our big ultrasound is scheduled for May 6th, and Dave and I are still dead-set that we are not finding out the sex of the baby, but we are REALLY looking forward to just seeing the baby for the first time. I can't believe that 15wks has already flown by and it won't be long until we are at the half-way mark!

Cadence is doing wonderful! We had her 18month pictures made last Saturday, and even though she didn't want to pose for pics, we ended up getting several great ones. Here are just a few of them... the rest are on the Loving Touch Website for about another week @ http://www.lovingtouchportrait.com/.

My "Big" Little Girl

On Wednesday, March 11, at approximately 8:30pm Cadence Morgan sat down on her potty and pee-peed for the first time!!! She has never wanted to sit on her potty before, but for whatever reason- when I asked her if she needed to pee-pee on that night she said yes and sat right down... and then PEE-PEED! As you know, she is only 18 months old, so this is a huge deal! (Of course, it would be a huge deal to me if she did it when she was 3!) Anyway, since then, she likes to sit on her potty and try to go (she has pee-peed one more time since then) and we put her on it any time she wants... I have heard from a few people that she is too young to be potty-training, but I have confidence in her, so we are going to continue to try. I hope that everyone else is as thrilled as we are about this! :D

Until next post,

Cadence's 18mo check-up

We went to a new pediatrician yesterday - Dr. Mallette at TN Pediatrics in Murfreesboro. We really liked her and felt like she paid attention to our concerns and questions. Cadence weighed in at 21lbs, 4oz - up one oz from her last visit in January... This moves her down to the lowest 10th percentile on her growth chart in weight. She was also in this percentage for height. Her head circumference was still in the 50th percentile, indicating that it is just her body that is staying tiny. (And she has a huge brain!) Dr. Mallette is going to pay close attention to Cadence's weight from now on and if, at her 24mo checkup, her weight hasn't improved her percentage she wants to test Cadence for thyroid problems. She said Cadence looks perfect, and developmentally couldn't be doing any better (she knows over 25 words already!), we'll just keep a watch on her growth issue.
(She also got 2 shots and did great with those)
I'll keep posting as new news comes up!
