JANUARY 2008

It's the end of the month and as I type I realize I'm 31 weeks + 4 days pregnant and remember back to this time when I was pregnant with Thomas and my water broke! Here's hoping the rest of the evening and next few weeks are uneventful!! Thomas had his first flu experience and I had my first experience being thrown up on. He was completely out of commission for a day and then took a good week to get back to his normal, happy, mischievious ways.

2 days after the flu bug hit, Thomas is starting to get back into mischief as he tries on Daddy's new slippers as well as Daddy's favourite hat.

Karen and Thomas (Karen has finally made it past the "stranger" phase with Hobbes and was able to pet him as he sat on her lap in the van!)

Helping Auntie Tina get ready to leave by unpacking her bags!

 

Thomas enjoyed a fun visit from his friends, Sophie and Emily over the weekend. It was great watching him follow Sophie around and try to play with her. It was also great to see him try to hug little Emily, although sometimes it looked like more of a tackle than a hug!

Eventually Emily managed to get a piece, or maybe it's more accurate to say eventually Thomas snuck Emily a piece (or two!)

Enjoying the playroom

The ever growing Thomas had his 18 month check up today. He now weighs 24.5 pounds and is just about 85cm tall. We also had an ultrasound of his sister and she weighs 3 pounds. Both Thomas and his sister are considered average for size.
