Yzma spent another night scared out of her mind during one of the many thunder storms that pass through here. She ended up jumping in our jacuzzi tub for safety; crazy dog! Any storms that roll through mean no sleep for Oz and I since Yzma is so loud and crazy even after the storm is gone.
I called the vet and tonight we will give her a tranquilizer to help her stay calm during a rough patch of weather that is suppose to come through overnight. I'm really hoping it helps her! If not I may have to take it to get some sleep :)

Big Boy Bed!!

This weekend, Oz painfully spent the entire 2 days putting together Nico's furniture from Ikea. Nico LOVES his new bed, he doesn't want to get out of it. The only problem is that it's turning into a place to play not sleep. We will see how this goes. I'm trying to nap him in it today, it's been an hour since I laid him down and although he took an hour to fall asleep, he hasn't climbed out at all so that's good.

I've added some pictures of the new furniture. We had to move furniture all over the house, the guest room moved to the old playroom and it's old room will become the nursery. The playroom moved to the office, I've put a picture of that as well, the office is now in the sitting area of our bedroom. Lots of shuffling around to make everything fit!

Office Visit

All went well for the 10 weeks check at the Doctor's office. They had trouble finding the heartbeat with the Doppler so I lucked out and got another quick ultrasound. The baby's heart was indeed beating at 166.
I'm feeling really good too, I've really been fortunate to have easy first trimesters. I hope it stays that way!!

Atlanta Trip

This past weekend we made the quick 4 hour drive to Atlanta for the weekend. We had so much fun! The first day the three of us headed over to the Atlanta Aquarium and the Coke Museum. The Aquarium was really amazing, it was just so big and the tanks were floor to ceiling with all kinds of fish, sharks, and even beluga whales. Nico absolutely loved it, he kept saying, " It's beautiful."

On Sunday we headed to Ikea for our big shopping trip. We ended up getting Nico his big boy furniture and bedding plus a ton of other things that are just typical cool stuff you find every time you go to Ikea. When we loaded up the car, I realized that I had let the battery die from Nico watching a movie. I asked everyone I saw for jumper cables and nobody had them, not even the security cars. I thought we were going to be at Ikea forever until we gave it one last try and the car magically decided it would turn on, I was so happy! The car was crammed packed as we headed home, I had a tiny space to sit in and nowhere to put my legs but it was worth it, I can't wait to get his room all set up.

First "real" Haircut

Nico had his first actual haircut this afternoon, he didn't exactly enjoy it so it's not finished but she got the worst of it trimmed up for him. He didn't lose his curls, I was so happy, cutting the curls is why I've put it off for so long.

Percy The Train has been found!!

This morning I went to get Nico up from his crib in the morning. As I was getting him dressed he noticed some of my hair had gone into my face. He smiled and brushed it back for me and said "there ya go Mommy" then went on to say "I uv u" He talks so fast sometimes you miss what he is actually saying, I was so happy to hear what he meant and his sweetness made my morning...

This afternoon he decided to veto his nap, he has NEVER done this before, in fact he normally falls asleep the moment you lay him in the crib. After an hour of talking and playing, I went in and got him out, he seems perfectly happy and not a bit tired so far, we will see how long it lasts :)

Also, something important in Nico's world: for everyone that knew that we tragically left Percy the train at church and couldn't find him, (or the right replacement). We are happy to say he reappeared back in the church nursery this week and was quickly reclaimed by Nico. He is happy to have him back! I take him out of the nursery for communion so we can go up as a family; he had his Percy Train firmly in his hands and didn't want to let him go when it was our time to go up to the alter. He was yelling, Percy oh no Percy!! Luckily he forgot once we were taking communion, that's a whole other story, he always tries to take the bread and wine away from the pastor; he doesn't like being left out :) As I eat the bread he looks at me and says, ummmm yum!

Hanging out with Mommy

Since Oz went golfing today, Nico and I had our day to spend together. We started out by going to our favorite place around here, the botanical gardens, he loved running around the Children's Garden and looking in the little peep hole at the Hobbit's House. After running around the gardens we stopped by a Smoothie place and each got a drink and headed home for naps, notice the plural since I napped too :)
Then we went out for dinner and came home and played with trains outside. It turned out to be a really nice day; just the two of us.
