Happy Anniversary!

I know it's only been two days, but I can't help it! I'm drawn to my blog right now. Today is our Anniversary. Jake and my marriage is turning two. How fun. We used the last of the gift cards given to us at our wedding to purchase half our meal from one restaurant, and half from the other. It was a hit! Jake got some food that we ate on our honeymoon and I'm excited to snack on it for the next few weeks. I can't believe it's been two years. So much has happened that it feels like much longer and yet not long at all. Kind of like raising a kid.

Speaking of our little one, Bentley is a HOOT. He has been so funny these last few days. I took him outside to play with his bright orange soccer ball and I just had to laugh. I would roll the ball toward him and the wind would push it back and Bentley was laughing hysterically. Then today as I drove off to go to the Dr's he gave me this really sad face like.. "Dad...That's not fair."
There is this yellow plastic box that holds bath stuff and Bentley wanted Dad to put it on his (Bentley's) head. He would scowl at Dad until the yellow box was placed on his(Bentley's) head and then Bentley would laugh and then take it off and want Dad to do it again, all while scowling. I was asleep otherwise we might have caught it on camera.
Bentley has also taken up growling and putting his hands in fists like a sumo or a wrestler. It's so funny.

He also surprised me by learning a few new words: lemon, dinner, temple, dark, dot and daisy. He says Daisy very well.

Brooklyn is kicking a lot more now. I was relaxing on the giant bean bag and Bentley was leaning against my belly when suddenly he got kicked in the ribs! I don't think he noticed, but I jumped. She's definitely got some strength to her. Tomorrow we get to see her again. I looked up the 3D ultrasound, or 4D (whatever) at the office, we are almost big enough to do that.

We talked to the doctor about birthing options and what will happen for us. It was a very strange visit. It was almost like my doctor didn't know what to do with me. He listened to the heartbeat, didn't measure my uterus, told me it wasn't really all that important and said that now we just wait. Then he excused me. I did ask about the birthing options and he answered my question, but all in all I kind of wondered why I still have to see an OBGYN. If I am seeing a perinatologist, I would rather just see him. Problem is, He only deals with unborn children. He doesn't deliver. Bummer. I like him. It is just sad to talk to my OB because they just...don't know what to do and don't really know what to say. I don't think my OB thought I understood the diagnosis. I think he expected me to be horribly distraught, but he wasn't telling me anything I didn't already know. Well, honestly, he's not the OB I wanted to see, but my real DR. Was on Call today, so this was the first time I saw this other one. Pah. Anyway....

:) Life is good right now. Bentley and Brooklyn both have appointments tomorrow and I get to spend the evening with my husband. Life is so wonderful.

I have such a beautiful family.

Happy Anniversary, Jake. I love you! I am so lucky to have you in my life! I hope I never EVER forget it!
