OK, so honestly this is his version of crawling and I promise to get a getter video when he goes across the whole room which he has done but here it is! Enjoy!
We are having a BOY!!!
Yes, we recently found out that we are adding a another little guy to the clan:) We couldn't be more excited because I am going to be completely honest with you when I say that Sadi is a lot of work!!:) We are 19 weeks right now and I can feel the little guy daily which is such a comfort:) Everything seems to be going really well, still doing the shots, thyroid levels are all normal while on meds and my kids are being really good lately!
Dakota's soccer was cancelled today because of soggy fields so we have Sadi's dance and then she and I have girls day at David's Bridal looking for a flower girl dress!! Dakota and Sadi will be in nolan's buddy's wedding together, how cute!
Pattee Baby #4
Hey Everyone, we have exciting news that our family is growing:) We found out at the beginning of the new year and have kept this amazing secret long enough. Dakota, Sadi & Dalton are going to have a new baby sister or brother at the beginning of September!
Doctors are on top of everything, I have my OB, my High Risk OB, Hemo doc & Endo doc:) Keeps me busy and last nite we registered Dakota for Kindergarten:( We also had preschool conferences and he is doing fabulous:) Take care and we miss you all and will see you soon!
FEBRUARY
Well, I would say I am getting better:) Last time I promised to write every 2 weeks and didn't write for 3 months) This time it has only been 4 weeks:) Whoohoo!! Anyway, the kids are doing great:)
Dakota loves preschool right now. We got him signed up for spring soccer which he will be going to in Nolensville this time instead of through the YMCA since it is only 5 minutes away. It was a hard decision because he has some close buddies that he has played with the last 2 seasons but it was time to make the move. Almost forgot, Dakota got a haircut, a very short haircut that we may not revisit in the future!
Sadi is officially day trained:):):):) Couldn't be more proud of her, it took A LOT of accidents for her to realize that she didn't like to go pee in her pants but she did it and loves to put her Dora's on everyday (and her clothes for that matter, I can't touch her in the morning because she has to do it herself)! Such a big girl, we also got her signed up for preschool this fall, yes you already have to do it here because it fills up by February! So she will be going to preschool 3 morning a week this fall:)
Dalton is such a sweet sweet baby boy right now. He is such a lover, never cries, sleeps by the snap of your fingers, I sometimes wonder why:) He just is so relaxed and laid back, that could be the reason why he has no want to crawl, roll, pick himself up on things, etc. He is also what I would describe as the laziest of my 3 children:) Oh well, he will figure it out I am not worried:) OH yah, he has 2 bottom teeth!!
Nolan claims to have broken his foot even though the x-rays show no break, so the nurses felt bad for his and gave him a walking boot, so he is soaking up everything he can get from his injured foot:) But I love him and sometimes have to just smile and let him have his moment:) Work is going well for him, I can really tell he is enjoying what he does.
I am doing OK. I was diagnosed for hypothyroidism a couple of weeks ago which would explain my excessive hair loss, chills and constant tiredness. If it is not one thing it is another. I started medication immediately and can already see a change in my hair loss (thank god) and my chills are getting better. I don't know if there is ever going to be a day I am not tired, but I think that goes along with having 3 small children:) Enjoying life though, my kids and husband make me smile everyday.
Next post to come in a couple weeks (maybe it will only be 3 weeks this time:) Until then put it in your calendars that the kids and will be making the Iowa trip the end of march!! In Avoca March 18-21 and Postville 24-27, I would like to visit some friends too:) Looking forward to seeing everyone soon!
Luv you all, Brandi
Happy Happy New Year!!
Now these are going to be short and sweet posts due to the fact that I have things that I know I should be doing and first on my list is get my Christmas decor put away!! But thought I would give a quick update that Dakota WANTS to go back to pre-school tomorrow and I think that is because he is sick of to much mommy time:)
Sadi is wearing her monkey undies right now and has been for he last week:)
AND Dalton sat up this morning with no assistance from Mommy for a good minute before he reached for a toy that was a little to out of reach and toppled over:)
Yesterday we went to the movie Tangled with Dakota and Sadi and they literally ate popcorn the entire movie:)
Have a good one and I will be posting sooner then later, I know I say that every couple months but this a new year and I will be keeping them short and sweet!
