She got excited and then about five bites in started playing with it and blowing raspberries. A month later and that's still the same story. I don't think she'll be a baby food kind of baby. She loves mashed up food that comes from your plate. So far that's only been bananas, avocados, bread, noodles, apples, and maybe ice cream... But don't tell Ben... Or her pediatrician...</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">She is the most good natured baby I've ever met.

Kisses with a wide open mouth. Is content to sit in your lap and watch the action around her. Prefers to stand. Mostly giggles for Charlotte. We have to eat and tickle her to giggle and all Charlotte has to do is make a silly face. Still takes 2 1/2 naps that are solid and regular.

We celebrated by canceling the babysitter (our kiddos had hacking coughs) and taking them to the apple store for a new phone and Red Robin.</div>

Cheers to us! </div>

We all had a slow and groggy morning after our Thanksgiving festivities so Charlotte got to pick out two presents to unwrap.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
First was a children's National Geographic series we collect "Little Kid's Big Book of ____".</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She reads these every single night. Her favorite is the solar system one. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For her birthday we got her an animals one and my mom got her a 'why' one.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We read these for awhile all cuddled under an electric blanket while Jane slept and slept.</div>

Doesn't take naps but needs one at about 4 o'clock. We don't get along too well for a good two hours before dinner and a much earlier bedtime of 6:30/7.</div>

Has an amazing memory. We had the stomach flu last Sunday and she walked into the bathroom as I was finishing emptying the contents of my stomach and proceeded to tell me about the last time I had the flu which was at Grandma's house. I slept and stayed away from her for a good 36 hours then. She told me all about it. This was over a year and a half ago.</div>

Can have the attitude of a 13 year old which makes me laugh and deeply frightens me.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Is gutsy. She will try anything. She'll try any kind of food just once. Will go on any ride. It's not that she doesn't have any fear, she just pushes herself past it with a little gleam in her eye. She'll be the bride-to-be that goes skydiving on the eve of her wedding day. With her dad and not mom of course…</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Loves to get "cozy" and snuggle. Kisses and hugs a lot.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Still loves watching Super Why, Cat in the Hat, Curious George, and Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood on PBS. Every so often she'll ask to watch a cheesy girly show (Littlest Pet Shop, My Little Pony), but for the most part still loves these ones best. I'll be sad when she's over them.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Always wants to know what time it is (hence the alarm clock for her bday), where things came from (wants to be shown on a map), and why things are the way they are (why does it look like the sun is moving, why do people grow up, why do only girls have babies…).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Is very well-behaved at other's houses. This one I'm unbelievably proud of. She's a saucy one, but she saves that for me. She's been babysat a lot lately for different things I've had going on and they always say how easy and well behaved she is. She doesn't talk back, hit the other kids (I think I've seen her hit another child once in her life), or get whiny. I'm glad that she's turning into a nice and responsible little person.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Four sounds old to me and yet I feel like she's been around so much longer. I can definitely remember what life was like before her, but compared to now, it was a lot less full. She brings so much joy to our home. Her and Jane are definitely my tiny best friends (and Ben's just my big one). If I knew my future children would turn out like these two I'd have five more. </div>

I was dressing earlier and pulling on some skinny jeans. Charlotte asked why I was yanking them up and I said because they were tight. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She then started to sing;</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"I got my tight pants, I got my tight pants, I got my tight pants on. Everyone in town is talking 'bout my tight pants. Don't wake the snake. Sssssss…"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If this makes absolute no sense to you then youtube Jimmy Fallon and "tight pants."</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
You'll die.<br />

(Yes, I realize the ending has a cuss word. She heard the very end once and hasn't remembered that part nor have we let her watch it again. Just the singing and dancing bit.)</div>

Ben has this morning off so he and the baby are sleeping in while Charlotte and I are painting our fingernails and building legos. I told Charlotte to make sure she stayed quiet to let Daddy sleep in because he works really hard and needs his rest. She then said (completely unprompted), </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"Well, you should like naps because you work really hard at home. You fix the dishes, you fix my drawer, you get tired of cleaning the floor, and you get tired of cleaning everything, and decorating the house, and fixing my tent, and making the bed, and fixing the sheets on my bed and yours, and then having fun with me, and playing ball all day with me, and get me apple juice so I feel all better." </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
No truer words were ever spoken.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Thank you, Charlotte.</div>

Scrumptious baby.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I believe 'scrumptious' pretty much sums her up.</div>

*She's calm, nice, smiley, laid back, cuddly but not clingy, and ridiculously adorable.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
*Tummy time is getting better, but still a bit of a struggle for more than 5 minutes.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
*She's very easy to get to smile and does to everyone who gives her eye contact or makes clicking sounds like the ones you'd do if you were trying to get a horse to move.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
*Drools like a basset hound (I believe I see 2 bottom teeth already trying to make an appearance).</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
*She only takes a binky if she's almost asleep and needs to calm down while in her swing or carseat.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Never for the heck of it, when she's hungry, while she's asleep, or when she's going down for the night. I feel like I've mentioned this before but am too lazy to check past posts...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
*Likes to face outward when you're trying to calm her down (like today at church for a good 20 minutes).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
*Is SO close to giggling. I'm dying to hear it.</div>

So instead I laid her in front of the t.v. and she watched Dancing with the Stars for a solid hour and cried when it ended. I kid you not. </div>

*Just found out that she loves being bounced while laying on the bed. If you put your hands on either side of her and bounce bounce bounce she's in heaven.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
*When she's upset she whimpers like a sad kitten for a good 10 minutes before she starts to really cry.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
*Has long curly eyelashes like her sister and daddy.</div>

*Usually wants to stand on your lap and does not like sitting back against you but straight up on her own.</div>

I sometimes find this in the morning if Ben is on call at the hospital.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Charlotte wakes up usually around 3 or 4 and uses the bathroom.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love hearing her stumble there and dutifully put down the seat cover and wash her hands afterwards even though she's half asleep. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If she peeks in and sees Ben gone, she'll often climb in for a few hours.</div>

Her hand-eye coordination is getting better and better.</div>

She loves swatting and is starting to grab at things.</div>

After her blessing I went into the mother's room to change her diaper and get a few pictures.</div>

They had popcorn and cider, wreath decorating, pumpkin carving, bowling, bag toss (huge here in the Midwest), and some other activities we didn't get around to.</div>

I believe it was a book about the universe, planets, and stars.</div>

*forgot to put her stats in her earlier post</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
- didn't take her in at 1 month since her doctor said it was pointless since I live with a doctor and she didn't need any shots yet. He just told Ben to keep an eye on her.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
- at 2 months she was 12 1/2 lbs (70 - 75th percentile) and 24.3 inches long (off the charts)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
-she's incredibly stable and strong so I can already hip her up high without supporting her back and neck and she holds herself up while we walk around</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
*I compared this to Charlotte and Jane was about a pound heavier and over 2 inches taller</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
*she better be a volleyball player - middle blocker - starting for Stanford in 2031</div>

Charlotte, of course, joined and showed her how it was done. </div>

She was definitely a fan.</div>

This kid is a thrill seeker.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She went on the scariest whip-around rides that she was technically too short for. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So Ben taught her how to get on your tippy toes while they measured you.</div>

Her first "ride" was the giant slide.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She loved it.</div>

But immediately pointed to the adult-sized rides to try out.</div>

I couldn't take a picture while the ride was moving because it went too fast.</div>

Okay, back to Jane.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She likes to sleep facing out from you.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Charlotte liked cuddling against you up in your neck and shoulder.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Jane prefers sleeping on her back either in her crib or our bed for long naps, preferably alone.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Charlotte never slept alone for months.</div>

I think Charlotte is happier than anyone else that I pump so that she can feed her once in awhile.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She did tell me, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"Mom, I can't wait until my boozies have milk in them so I can nurse."</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Yes, we call boobs boozies in this house.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Who wants to hear a 3 yr old say breasts, penis, or vagina? Ew.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So we say boozies, peeper, and veegee.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She'll learn the "proper" names soon enough.</div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Jane at 2 months:</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
- Is a delight. Goes with the flow and sleeps when you're out and about and needing to get things done (minus last week when we went to Costco and she screamed bloody murder from hunger and then blew out all the way up her back... not cool...)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
- Goes to bed around the same time I do: 10/10:30 and wakes up once to eat then usually sleeps til 8.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
- Moved up into her 3-6 month clothes which we have A LOT of.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
- Wears size 1-2 Costco diapers (they don't have a size 2 for some reason).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
- Hates getting into the Baby Bjorn then always immediately falls asleep or looks around at the leaves once we're walking.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
- Takes most of her naps in her crib. This week we're moving her in there full time at night.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
- Started smiling easily and constantly around week 6.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
- At week 8 started cooing and gurgling. LOVE IT. It started while she was in her swing and Charlotte leaned over to talk to her. They had a very long conversation that was just between sisters. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
- Still loves the swing.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
- Is still "eh" about her playmat, although she has swatted at the hanging toys a handful of times.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
- Had her first bout of baby acne a few weeks ago. It's slooooowly going away.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
- Gets heat rashes easily.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
- Holds her head and back up pretty well when you hold her. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
- Detests tummy time.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
- Can still be calmed down while in her car seat by swinging her back and forth.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
- Has visited Wisconsin and Minnesota.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
- Does not like to eat for a good 20-30 minutes after she wakes up in the morning. She'd rather you just lie next to her and talk. She just smiles and smiles.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
As you can tell, we're pretty in love with her. I'm so glad that the transition from 1 to 2 kids was easy. I think falling in love with her so quickly helped smooth out the difficulties. Charlotte has adjusted well and doesn't get jealous. Ben has done a really good job of doing one on one activities and outings with just her. She also LOVES preschool which she goes to every morning.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It definitely feels like Jane was meant for just our family. She fits in perfectly. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We love love love the little nugget.</div>

Preschool is expensive. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I never really realized that until this year when I looked into it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Last year we did a Mom School with 5 other kiddos and Charlotte was only 2 and quite a bit younger than the others, but she did really well. She's pretty smart and mature for her age.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I knew I wanted to get her into <i>something </i>this school year. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I wanted her to continue learning and have a good social experience.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Plus having her out of the house so I could have some one-on-one time with Jane was a bonus.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Back in April my friend told me about our school district opening up their preschool to include 3 year olds.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And it was free.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Well, $100 for the whole year to help with supplies.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
What?!?!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The only drawback was that it's 5 days a week.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So I wasn't going to do it. Then I was. Then I wasn't. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I debated with myself until I remembered that I drop her off at the gym's daycare 4-5 times a week for an hour and a half already.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Why not drop her off somewhere she'll learn something and have more fun?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So I signed her up.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She was SOOOO excited. All summer we talked about it as we passed her school (which is 2 blocks from our house). </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She went to their hour long screening and her teacher said she was more than ready for school.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I liked the school.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I liked her teacher.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So we were all happy.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

She wasn't nervous or sad or hesitant.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There were a few children screaming and bawling with their parents and she looked at them like, "Dude, what's your deal?"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then I started to cry. It was a little embarrassing.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
No other parent looked like they were having a problem.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then I remembered I was less than 2 wks post-partum so tears were okay, but I still walked away to not embarrass myself further.</div>

So we stayed in the hospital two days. Ben was on call the last day so he was already going to be at the hospital. Plus Jane had a little jaundice so they wanted us to stay anyway. I spent that second night at the hospital alone because Ben was insanely busy, but little Jane and I bonded that night. It was good.</div>

We stopped by Einstein Bagels and got some breakfast to bring home to everyone and headed out around 9 or 10 in the morning after Ben's coworkers were able to stop by and meet her.</div>

My mom was awesome. After we got home she stayed for another week or so. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
These two were inseparable. When Charlotte woke up she went to Grandma. They went to the park, did tons of crafts, yard work, cooked, cleaned, sang, memorized poems, went shopping, out for ice cream, and did tons and tons of coloring.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When we dropped her off at the airport, Charlotte gave her a hug and kiss and said "Don't worry. I always come back." I think she thinks of her as her best friend over me... dang it.</div>

Nursing her cat.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So now here we are, two days away from her being FOUR WEEKS OLD! What?!?!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It felt so slow with Charlotte and now it seems so fast.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Too fast.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm enjoying it so much more this time. No crazy hormones and unknown source of tears.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She's such a reasonable baby and sleeping in 4-5 hour chunks at night.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Since I pump as well as nurse I've been able to leave her with friend's a few times while I went to school-related meetings and off to the grocery store.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And thanks, Mom, for coming and giving up so much work and pesos to be here. It was perfect and so much help. Excited to see you and Carrie and Alex in a few weeks for Jane's blessing!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And I have to mention this because I think my husband is pretty awesome... A few days before my mom left he asked me if it'd be okay that he take her out one night. We had both been to a blue's club when we first moved here but that was many years ago. It's not my favorite music so I didn't want to do it again. Ben's been dying to go and my mom always asks to go when she's visited 8 times. So one Friday evening my husband took my mom out on a date to a blue's club. How hilarious and cute is that? They stayed until close and got home at 2:30 in the morning. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love those two.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Next up: Charlotte's FIRST DAY OF PRESCHOOL! </div>

I was going to post everything up until this point, but that would take forever and I have to pick up Charlotte from preschool in 15 minutes. So this is just about the hospital stay.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My due date was August 15th, but Ben's schedule was crazy around that time so I joked to my OB (who is one of Ben's bosses that he delivers with a lot) if we could induce a little early when Ben had the weekend off. He agreed =)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

So my mom flew out a few days before to hang out and get last minute things finished. We did some shopping, went to the gym, and played with Charlotte before our big day.</div>

This is a few minutes before I hopped in the shower and got going to the hospital.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I thought Charlotte would be a teensy sad, but she was just excited to have one on one time with Grandma. I'm pretty sure she kissed us goodbye then ran off to play.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Got to the hospital around 4:30 and hooked up.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A few hours later I was given Cervadil (before Pitocin to help dilate and get things ready).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They said it sometimes put you into labor and started contractions, but not always.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And of course it did to me.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The problem was if they took it out and I was only dilated a little they wouldn't do it again. So I had to stick it out for as long as possible before they checked and I could be given Pitocin and a lovely epidural.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
By 10:30 that night (when we turned off the tv and lights to get some sleep) I had the worst contractions until 4:30 in the morning every 1-3 minutes.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Zero sleep.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
By the time they took it out and were ready to start me on Pitocin and give me a blessed epidural I was third in line for the anesthesiologist and had to wait almost an hour.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Longest hour. Ever.</div>

I love my OB. I didn't always. He's one tough brother.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But he's excellent, calm, extremely experienced, and never made us pay for visits due to working with Ben. And sent Jane a present after she was born.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
One of our early appointments he asked Ben (who was there) if he was going to deliver our baby. I was totally down with that, but Ben wasn't so sure. He didn't want to "coach" me and have me get angry at him.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Understandable.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So he agreed just to catch her at the end and call it good.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Right as I was ready to push and get it going he asked how I felt about him delivering and I gave him the thumbs up so he suited up with my doctor (below).</div>

It was the coolest thing to see your doctor and your husband-doctor get ready to deliver your baby.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
She was face up so they had to slowly turn her.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My OB started it off, and Ben took over.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He finished turning her and slowly got her out. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I pushed for about 30 minutes.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My OB didn't have me push at the end though, but slowly had Ben help her come out so I wouldn't tear much (sorry if that's TMI).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I only needed 2 stitches so apparently his method works.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
She seemed smaller, but longer than Charlotte so I thought she'd be a little over 7 lbs.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She was 9lbs 2oz! And 22 inches!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Where did she fit?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I had gained 21 lbs so she sucked up almost half of that.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Crazy.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Ben said that at this point when he had pulled her out and was looking at her it hit him that she was his baby and how amazing the experience was. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm thrilled that he got to deliver her.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And he did a really good job at coaching me when I needed it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He definitely wasn't my husband at that point, but my doctor.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He was calm and reassuring. He would compliment me and encourage me if I was pushing wrong or was getting tired.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He's a pretty amazing doctor if I do say so myself.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I had these two doctors and two nurses and the room was very quiet and calm.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Very different than at Charlotte's birth where 11 people crowded in there.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Unfortunately, I was the only one that could take pictures.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Which means I'm in no pictures at all.</div>

She looked SO much like Charlotte.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They have the same big eyes, lips, and shape of nose (Jane's is smaller).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She does not have Charlotte and Ben's elf ears.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Her hair is brown but she has a widow's peak in the front that Charlotte doesn't have.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
My mom brought Charlotte a few hours later (after they finished going to the movies).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She was very excited and shy at first.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Then she asked where the other baby was.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So let's back up and I'll explain:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When I first told Charlotte I was pregnant (a few wks before I found out the gender) she wanted to be pregnant too. She wanted to have the girl and I was supposed to have a boy.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A few weeks later I told her it was a girl and she wasn't very happy.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She thought I had stolen her baby. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Eventually she came to grips and decided that she would then have the boy. When we told her we decided on the name Jane she said she was going to have Tarzan.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She told everyone that "we" were having two babies: Jane and Tarzan.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So Ben and I ordered a Tarzan baby to give her when she came to visit the hospital.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So after meeting Jane and having her ask where the other baby was... it was perfection.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We had swaddled Tarzan in a matching blanket as Jane and had her in a little bassinet.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Charlotte was thrilled.</div>

I was feeling SO good at this point.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Like slightly sore from a workout, but great.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But SO TIRED.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After contracting all night with zero sleep then going straight into delivery... I was pooped.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Jane actually let us nap on and off for the next day</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
This time around was so different than with Charlotte. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I instantly fell in love with Jane. Like overwhelmingly.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It took awhile with Charlotte. My hormones were in a funk and she was harder from the beginning.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
With Jane I've gotten emotional maybe 3 or 4 times since coming home.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After my first delivery I cried about anything and everything for a good 6-7 weeks.</div>

My amazing nurse Shirley.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I loved her.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She loves Ben so she was excited to help deliver.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She's from the Philippines so she and Ben speak Tagalog whenever they see each other.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(Ben did a 2 year church mission there)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They were kind enough to speak English around me.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She was funny when I needed it, serious when I needed it, and just good/competent at whatever she did.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
And now we're home and Jane is <span style="font-size: large;">18 days old</span>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Time flies.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This adjustment has been soooo much easier than the first time around.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Knock on wood...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She doesn't fuss unless she's hungry or has a gross diaper.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After the first few days she's been waking up once maybe twice a night. I kid you not.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'll nurse her right before I go to bed (10ish) then she'll wake up around 3 or so in the morning, then around 7 or 8.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She stays awake for the mornings (8-11 or so). </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sleeps the entire afternoon and will wake for food once or twice. Then is awake early evening for a few hours.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She's been slowly giving us smiles and stares straight at you with big eyes as you talk to her.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She loves the swing and will stay awake in it for a good hour or fall asleep and take a long nap in it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She sort of likes her play mat.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hates tummy time.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Gives a solid/manly burp after eating.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Is great in the car and on outings.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She's been to a few restaurants, to church, ice cream parlor, movie (Despicable Me 2), Costco, walks everyday to drop off/pick up her sister from preschool, a flea market, the beach (well, we're going tomorrow), and her first out of town experience: Minnesota this weekend.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Let's hope I don't post in a few weeks and she's an absolute horror.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We love love love her.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And have a TON of pictures from her first few weeks home which I'll get around to eventually.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She also had some newborn pictures done which are scrumptious.</div>

As time is dwindling down before our baby's arrival (3 weeks!!) we've been enjoying just having Charlotte around. She is the funniest, sassiest, most tender kid I've ever met.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love her.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A lot.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

We got home from Texas Sunday evening. Monday I did laundry, repacked, went to a doctor's appointment, and headed to the gym. Tuesday morning Charlotte and I hopped on a plane out to Washington for one last trip before my 'confinement' - AKA - too late in my pregnancy to travel. Boo.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My parents bought us tickets for a 2 week trip that was pretty awesome.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Charlotte's definitely at the age where she misses people and is understanding she can't see them after we fly back home. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Example: as we drove away from NanaMoo's house in Texas Charlotte said, "She's going to miss me. A lot. Because she loves me. And because she's little like me. She'll probably cry. " </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(NanaMoo is a little on the short side...)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Okay, back to Washington.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Of course, I only pulled out my camera a handful of days.</div>

Charlotte and her cousin Adie are two peas in a pod. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They were outside playing and snuck into my parent's shed. </div>

This was a few days before we came home.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Took her in to see Ben and got an xray.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The radiologist said it was just sprained. No break.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A week and a half later (yesterday) Ben talked to a hand surgeon who said it was definitely broken.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But it was a clean break and had been healing well on its own so to just leave it alone.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's not swollen anymore, just purple and black.</div>

It was a great trip. We did lots of shopping and made most all of the new baby's decorations for her room (more like little corner cave in Charlotte's room). My sister and mom got me some new things we needed for this next baby like another mattress, carseat canopy, sheets, and burp cloths.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There are a few more things we need to get before we're good to go.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
And here I am at 33 weeks.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In other news:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have 6 weeks left!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Ahhhhh! (in a good way)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There are three other friends of mine who are due within 3 weeks of each other. One if having her second like me (a girl), another is having her third boy, and the last is having twin boys (while already having 2 boys and a girl). It's been fun going through it again with so many people.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The humidity has been rough. I don't mind heat, just not moist heat. Yuck.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm starting to get super grumpy.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
That's probably my worst pregnancy side-effect.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My patience is down to 0% by 3 in the afternoon.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Poor Charlotte.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This wouldn't be bad if I had a normal-scheduled husband who came home at 5:30 to take over.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
No, I have a husband who comes home at 10 pm and leaves at 6 am.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I still go to the gym 5 times a week in the morning. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2 of those mornings is a circuit training class that I'm still pushing myself to do.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Although, I skip the mile and a half warm-up and go for a brisk walk instead.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The class focuses A LOT on thighs, hips, and the bum which feels lovely.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've gained about 15 lbs in this pregnancy, so I know kicking my booty at the gym is paying off a little.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm in need of a pedicure which I most definitely cannot do myself. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Ben did them when I was pregnant with Charlotte the last few months but since he's not around I need to pay for some professional assistance. Pronto.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Speaking of Ben.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
That man works his booty off.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
His days are never shorter than 12 hours. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In fact, if they are 12 hours we're thrilled around here.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He's the Chief Resident this coming year.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I should probably make that a separate post all by itself...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It officially starts July 1st, but he's been slowly taking over responsibilities for the past few months.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Lately he's been doing 'exciting' things like the resident's schedule, intern dinners, and graduation.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I know. Thrilling.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He is currently on cloud 9 that his Blackhawk's won the Stanley Cup.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now it's back to watching baseball in his free time.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Last night he got home, ate dinner, sat on the couch, put the SF Giant's game on, and immediately fell asleep with the remote in his hand.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Thank heavens residency is coming to a close soon-ish.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Wow, another whopper of a post.</div>

Texas:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Ben had his last week off for this residency year and we decided to head on down to Texas to visit his grandma. We couldn't afford 3 plane tickets so we hopped in the car and made a road trip out of it. We enjoy driving and stopping at little cafes, "world's biggest..." whatevers, antique stores (okay, I like to stop), and Charlotte goes with the flow pretty easily.</div>

The Sunday night before Memorial Day we went to a Marine Corps concert and listened to them play 40's/50's big band music and patriotic songs too.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
At the end they played the "theme" song of each branch of military and the veterans from those branches were to stand up and we'd clap.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was awesome. And of course I bawled like a baby.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then they asked the WW2 veterans to stand up and there were at least 7 or 8.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I bawled even harder.</div>

NanaMoo's neighbors were kind enough to let Charlotte borrow some toys.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They have twin granddaughters that are too old for these baby dolls</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
so they gave them both to Charlotte and told her she had to give one to our new baby in August.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We'll see if she keeps that promise.</div>

The drive to St. Louis was a little crazy. We literally were in the middle of all those tornadoes that kept touching down in Oklahoma and Missouri last weekend.</div>
