Due Date news

So, I had my first OB appointment for little one #2 on Monday. I ended up going for an ultrasound to try to establish a firm due date. Guess when this baby is due? 10/10/10! That's right! Lexie's due date was 9/9/09 so we are stunned! What are the chances of that? Mark's first reaction was to say that this means we need to plan #3 for 11/11/11. I told him that he was nuts and that 12/12/12 sounds like a better plan to me!

Other than fun baby news things have been fairly quiet around here.

Here is a picture of Lexie in the "crown" that her daddy made for her. She did have a rattle, I mean "scepter" but she kept throwing it across the room.

The only other exciting news this week is that Lexie got into her first fight on Wednesday. We were over visiting my friend Terry and her 10 month old grandson Brandon. First, let me tell you that Brandon is the biggest 10 month old that I have ever seen. He wears 2T clothes! Anyhow, Brandon was sitting on the floor when we arrived so I sat Lexie on the floor next to him and waited to see how they would react to each other. Brandon immediately started grabbing for her hair and lightly hitting her (not hard enough to hurt her or anything). Before I could move her away, Lexie turns to him and starts swatting back at him. He sat there stunned for a minute looking confused. The cats never have that reaction when he goes after them so what is this all about, he wonders. So he tries to swat at her again. Again, Lexie quickly returns several well aimed swats, resulting in him starting to cry and crawling away to his grandma. It was hilarious! Am I a bad mother for being proud that my little girl can take on a boy twice her age? Naaaaa!
