Some catch up items. Phew. It was a busy, ugly weekend.
We were all sick this last weekend. Well, ok, I was sick on Monday and everyone else was sick on the weekend while I tried not to get sick. It was Ehlke Puke Fest 2009. And for the record, Emma started it.
The big girl bed is going great! Emma loves it and actually goes to bed better now than she did with the crib. Last night, though, she figured out she can come out of her room… we’ll see how that develops. The bottles are also all put away and we’re on to big girl cups. Every now and then she asks for a bottle, but we can usually deflect her to a juice cup instead.
Braden has now learned how to puke in a bucket. Woohoo! Talking about your major accomplishments. He’s pretty proud of it! And speaking of growing up quickly, he asked Kathie today how the baby got into her tummy. The conversation, as I understand it, went something like this:
Braden: “How did the baby get into your tummy? Did you have to eat him”
Mom: “God gives Mommies and Daddies babies.”
Braden: “Did he make a hole in your stomach?”
Mom: “Mommies have a special place in their body for babies to grow. It’s another way boys and girls are different.”
Braden: “What’s it called?”
Mom: “The Uterus”
Braden: “So, how do you get the baby out?”
Mom: “Eat your lunch.”
What a thinker. He also greeted one of the painters we had come give us an estimate at the door by saying “I’m Braden. You’re really going to like me!”
We’re probably going to move Braden into Emma’s room this weekend or soon. We want to start the adjustment sooner than later for when the baby arrives. Plus we’re looking at painting and that will help that process.
I have now lost 17 pounds since January and am feeling great. I still want to lose another 10 before the baby comes in May, but I’m really starting to feel good. I’m running 2 miles in 20 minutes and not really pushing too hard yet. I want to get my speed and distance up a little yet, but I’m really enjoying the running for a change!

You were a lot older than that before you started asking those questions. Oh wait, I don't think you ever asked question; I had to make you sit down and listen in
6th grade!
