So I am pregnant! Whaaaaaat? I am really, truly, shocked. I took a pregnancy test on May 1st. I had just decided to take a test every month since my periods are so irregular - and surprise surprise - there were two pink lines! I took two more, just to be sure.
I took the last test on March 28th. Other than that, I don't really have any clues as to how far along I am. If I were to guess, I would say that I am due around january 6th, and that I am very recently pregnant - although that could be wishful thinking - I didn't want to have a baby too close to Christmas - poor kid getting their birthday and Christmas lumped together - although in our family the kid will be spoiled anyway so it probably isn't much of a concern. If I got pregnant earlier - closer to the last pregnancy test, the due date could be right around December 25th.
I made an appointment today for May 24 - three weeks away! I am really eager for an ultrasound to date the pregnancy. (They actually offered me May 17th but I pushed it off a week - again, hopeful thinking that I am only a few weeks pregnant at this point!)
Mamma Mia - Here I go again!

Dear Baby #2,
I just found out yesterday that you were on your way. I took, I kid you not, three pregnancy tests (and a fourth one this morning!). I pretty much can't believe it. Just like with your brother, it doesn't feel real. I am excited, nervous, and in disbelief. One thing I am focused on is your due date - I have no idea when it is yet, but I am afraid that it is going to be pretty close to Christmas. I didn't want to do that to my future child - have a birthday so close to Christmas - but if that happens - then I'm happy - because you wouldn't be YOU if you were made on any other day! This morning, I sang you your first song. I was listening to Glee and "I Want to Hold Your Hand," by the Beatles, came on, and I thought of you, my new little one, and sang to you. I am so excited to meet you! We have a long way to go - but I promise I will do my best to make sure that you are safe, happy, and healthy.
Love,
Mommy

Geoffrey says the funniest things!
"Where's my present?"
"The present is for Mommy. Say Happy Mother's Day!"
"Happy Mother's Day. . .
"Where's my Happy Mother's Day?"
"The present is for Mommy. Say Happy Mother's Day!"
"Happy Mother's Day. . .

Written Mid-April
Wow! 2 years old is such a fun age! Geoff is so cute and funny and clever, and it is so much fun watching him learn and grow!
He is such a good speaker! The other day he said a six word sentence: "No, Belle, that is my waffle." he is really doing an amazing job string words together and identifying things.
He also has a good memory. He picks out the song he wants us to sing, and sometimes he pull one out of his memory - like puff the magic dragon- that I haven't sung to him for many weeks! He is also getting better telling me about his day - what he had for breakfast, what he helped daddy with, etc.
The other night, during our nightly snuggles ritual, he pointed to my finger and said, "is that an owie?" I said yes, and he said." can I kiss it?" he kissed it, "mmm-ah" and then traveled up my arms and kissed every freckle along the way! So adorable!
He is funny and silly. When you tickle him, he says "mercy" to get you to stop! Sometimes, when it is bed time, I will ask him what song he wants, and he will say, "ummmmmm" and look around like he is thinking for as long as he can get away with!

Growing Up
I came home from work yesterday, and you looked like such a little boy! I realized it has been far too long since I blogged.
You are learning how to jump really well now, and you are able to get both feet off of the ground, briefly, one foot at a time, and land on your feet most of the time. You also had a really good day in tumbling - participating more and staying with the group.
Most impressive of all lately is your speech. You can easily string 3, 4, and sometime 5 words together!
"Corrance down stairs?"
"Geoffrey do it"
"Go play Andrew?"
"Candycane, please!"
"no poo poos, only farts"
"go to Nonna's house?"
"Watch Little Einsteins big tv?"
Really amazing and so nice to be able to communicate with you!!! You are such a bright little boy!
You love playing with your trains, pulling your wagon and going to the park, coloring (for short periods,) and putting puzzles together.
You are also very polite. When I give you something, you say "Oh, thank you." You say "pease," when you want something.
You are very good at naming your book titles. Your favorites "Grover's Farm," "Mooney Now," "Fingers Thumb" "Train Station" and "School House."
You will also ask for songs, "Small World," "Ariel," "Thomas," "Little Einstiens" (when brushing your teeth, flossing, or washing your hands), "and the other night "dragon," even though I have only sung "Puff the Magic Dragon," a few times to you in your whole life!
Things I want to remember:
The way you use to say "Ses" instead of yes.
"Oh, thank you."
"Hi, Oh Hi!"
The way you participate with the TV "pat, pat, pat, pat blast off!"
The way you used to ask for your milka bobba, and now you ask for "glass of milk."
When you bump your head (on accident - or on purpose) and then say, "Oh! bump head!"
The way you give me kisses.
At night, when you are trying to delay bedtime, how you melt my heart with your "snuggles" request - even though you don't want snuggles, really, you want a raspberry war!
When you give a raspberry and then squeal and say "You got me!" (Instead of "I got you!")
Your deliciously adorable laughter.

Observations
Geoffrey's speech has been improving by leaps and bounds. He no longer says "Ses" anymore :o(
His ability to name objects still surprises Grant and I, as he will point to things and name them even though we don't know where he learned the words. He looks through his books and says titles for all of them" Fingers Thumb" (Hands Hands Fingers Thumb), Banana Peels, Mooney Go, Grover's Farm, School House, etc. He loves to ask "What's This?
He has started making sentences, "Go down stairs." "What this button do?" "Watch Thomas / Choo Choo Soul / Mickey Mouse / Little Einsteins," "That Hurts," "Oh my goodness," "WHere is my one?" "Geoffrey do it!"
He loves to say "Snuggles," at night to stall bed time.
He's also learning how to jump off of both feet. He loves to fall like a board on the bed. He's great on the balance beam at school.
He's really becoming such a big boy.

Geoff's Two year CHeck Up
Geoffrey had his first dental visit with Dr. Chu. She was very nice! We had a knee to knee pillow visit, where Geoffrey sat on my lap and layed back on a pillow on Dr. Chu's lap while she counted his teeth. He has 16 theeth, and he is just missing his last molars. She was also able to count his teeth.
Geoffrey had his two year check up with Doctor Chang. Dr. Chang is retiring, so this was our last visit with her. He was not very happy during the visit. He was very clingy, and kept saying, "All done, go home please!" We tried to weigh him on the adult scale, but he wouldn't do it by himself, so we had weigh me holding him and then weigh just me, and we had to do his his height the baby way. He is about 27 pounds and 34 1/2 inches tall.
When Dr. Chang walked in, Geoffrey was repeating his "I'll done, go home please" request, and she seemed very impressed by his speech. I am glad she got a demonstration because he pretty much clammed up after that. He was not very cooperative - he is definaetely a two year old!
He only had one shot, in his arm this time. No real news at this visit - she talked a bit about potty training, and said to switch to low fat milk.
Next visit - three years old! We'll stay with the office and decide which doctor to see when we make our next appointment!

Geoffrey's Wish List
Geoffrey's Interests:
Geoffrey's favorite things involve transportation. He is especially interested in buses, Thomas the Train, Trucks, monorails, and cars (hot wheels.) He doesn't watch a lot of TV, but he does enjoy Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, and he knows who Elmo is. Geoffrey also enjoys rhyming books with strong word patterns, such as "I'll Teach My Dog 100 Words." and certain Dr. Seuss books.
Clothes: 2T / 24 months Shoe size 6 1/2 or 7
Gear:
Potty Training is on our minds! Potty training books would be great - Grant would especially enjoy them!
Flip Slumber Chair: Mickey Mouse Clubhouse (It is a little couch that folds out into a bed.) - Toys R Us / Babies R Us $45 (There is also a matching little rocking chair)
A toy box/toy chest
CD:
www.justmemusic.com - The Mickey and Friends CD with Geoffrey's name. I think "Parents" is a coupon code.
Toys (ideas):
Train set: We have a set of the old brio tracks that are up in the attic that we are going to get down and give to Geoffrey for Christmas. These tracks are compatible with the "Thomas the Tank Engine Wooden Railway." So although he doesn't need basic pieces, the add on sets, like the bridges, the actual character trains, etc. could be cute additions.
A train table (home made or bought)
A play kitchen -
The Little tikes cozy coupe (the classic red and yellow one, please).
A tent - for example -
Thomas the Tank Engine Indoor Play tent with Annie and Clarabelle cabooses
A tool set, such as Little Tikes handi worker workhorse
Easel - for example - Step 2 easel for 2
Ideal features: magnetic whiteboard, sturdy clips for paper - paper rolls not necessary,
Sit and spin - classic
Play balls (like those used in a ball pit - light, multi-colored plastic balls)
Imaginarium deluxe pounding bench
wood puzzles
