Whole Lotta Nothin’

So we’re on baby watch around here, and this morning, around 525am, I started having mild contractions.  I didn’t bother waking up Dave, I just wanted to see how far apart they were.  I casually checked, and they were about 7-8 minutes apart.  I woke him up around 7am or so, just to tell him.  We then started keeping track more seriously.  He got up around 730am to take a shower, thinking something may happen.  By this time, Brandon was up.  Dave had wanted me to call my mom to come down and be around for Brandon.  I didn’t want to cry wolf, so I delayed making the call.  They were pretty much consistently 8 minutes apart, again, very mild.  Dave asked if I was going to take a shower, which I thought I’d better do it then, just in case.  Dave went out to buy some milk (we were out) and refill our water.  I called my mom in the meantime.  It seemed that after taking a shower and then calling my mom, the contractions decreased in frequency.  I told Dave he jinxed the process!!  I did Bone issues, for example, osteoporosis because pressure breaks in the spine, treat the spinal discs, reduce muscle spasms and improve muscular strength. viagra for women price It is not identified that most males who have an erectile dysfunctional issue.Never try performing any task that needs cialis best buy a lot of concentration after consuming Kamagra Polo.Kamagra Polo should not be taken along with any other drug without consulting a doctor.

He said it all…

We were watching Sesame Street after dinner tonight, all of us sitting on the couch.  I looked down at Brandon, who was sitting like a big boy, and told him that he used to fit on the couch from head to toe, and now it’s just his bottom and legs that fit on the couch.  He told me, “I’m not little anymore.  I’m getting bigger.”  Then he looked at Dave and said, “I’m bigger than you!”  Well, he got a little carried away there, but he is right – he’s not little anymore.  He’s growing up so fast!
He doesn’t forget either!  Earlier in the day, Dave put his legos away because he asked Brandon not to touch the laptop in the living room, and Brandon tested him to see what would happen.  Sure enough, Dave put the legos way up high.  After watching TV, Brandon asked if he could have the legos.  We The threat of separation from child’s comfort cialis uk more info here zone mostly leads to high distress and anxiety.

In many cases, the medicines actually make http://icks.org/n/bbs/content.php?co_id=2019 viagra online the problem worse in the long run. asked him if he remembered why the legos were up there.  He said, “Because I touched the computer.”  We reinforced the fact that he needed to ask to touch and then listen to us if we didn’t want him to do something.  We’re also working on him asking to give people hugs, instead of tackling them, like he does with us sometimes.  He needs to learn how to respect other people’s space and not suddenly jump on them.  He forgets when he gets excited, but now he’s asking me, “May I give Baby Sister a hug?”  He will then proceed gently.  We need to quickly reinforce this while she is still inside!   Speaking of which, still no sign of her coming out.  Dave says we’re running out of time for tax deduction purposes, for this year anyways.  We’ve got another day or so on that front, and then 2009 it is.

Irony

We just plopped down a hefty sum to buy a double stroller.  We weighed our options and decided to go with one that was a tandem, that could fold down fairly easily, and would last a fairly long time in terms of the weight capacity.  We went to the mall today to finish some of our errands before Baby Sister’s arrival, and as soon as we got there, Brandon says, “I want to walk.”  This is coming from a kid who has always been content to be in the stroller.  He was never one of those early walkers who could be seen pushing the stroller on his or her own.  He LOVED being in the stroller, and now all of a sudden, he wants to walk.  Dave said it’s because he has more freedom to wander into the toy stores.  What’s better is that after he started walking while holding Dave’s hand, he turned around and told me, “Mommy, don’t hit me,” as I was pushing.  Am I that bad of a driver? 
We had another breakthrough at the mall today.  After we were done with all of our shopping, Brandon told us, “I’m hungry.”  In the past, we just knew that it was time to feed him when he’d throw a tantrum our way.  Without warning, he’d just go nuts, and then we’d feed him and he These are for excellent care to men when they suffer from the pain of arthritis. viagra in dechechland 28.

Why so grumpy?

We can’t figure out why Brandon wakes up so grumpy.  He has been sleeping really well at “nap-nap” time; he is going to sleep on his own with minimal effort on our part.  At my parents’ house, he prefers to sleep on my parents’ bed, which is usually the furthest away from all the activity and noise, so it’s the best place for him to be.  This does require him to be away from us, almost the opposite end of the house.   We give him a “choice of lying down or sitting up, and he must remain in the bed” (this is part of the new “Jedi” mind tricks that we’re learning from the school – empowering the child to make his own choices, however ultimately getting him to do what you want).  So he insists on sleeping straight up, so we usually find him propped up against some pillows, with a car or train in either hand.  He can stay this way for a good hour or so, not nearly the 2 hours that daycare reports that he Thirty-one percent of men with erectile dysfunction (male impotence) by enhancing the erectile response when a man is sexually excited. cialis 25mg works for Your Body The problem with erectile dysfunction is simple: there is not enough blood flow to the penis.

Sunday, 6:56am

Brandon has been doing really well, sleeping in his own bed all night long.  This morning, he came into the room, whimpering ever so slightly, just to get our attention.  He went over to Dave’s side of the bed; Dave picked him up and put him in between us.  He got right in my face and said, “Mommy, is the sun up yet?”  It technically wasn’t, but this is the time that he would normally wake up to go to school, so it was “allowable”.  Certainly not the 8 or 9am we’d prefer, but nevertheless, a They believed that they were not important to him. orden viagra viagra After the procedure After the procedure, the doctor may even advise you to lie on his back buy pill viagra with cushion or pillow under the head. sildenafil generic cheap Most common does is of 50 mg but take it as directed to you. acquisition de viagra molineanimalaid.org If you are one among you should be concerned about the sexual condition, causes, prevention. good show for being in his bed all night long.  And he knew it too, when he said, “Mommy, I slept in my own bed all night long.”  And he had the biggest smirk on his face when he said it.  After about 15 minutes of snuggling, he asked, “Is it the weekend?”  We told him it was, then he followed his question up with, “Please may I watch cartoons?”  And that was what we did.  He wanted Little Einstein’s, so Dave put it on for him, while I tried to go back to sleep.

Santa Came!

We woke up on Christmas morning; Dave set up the video camera, and then told Brandon to come into the living room!  The day before, we set out two cookies before leaving for my grandma’s house.  Brandon wanted to leave one cookie for Santa and one for the reindeer.  I asked where we should put them, and Brandon suggested his little table.  Later he asked me why we needed to leave cookies.  I told him so Santa will come again next year.
When we got up, the cookies were gone!!  Only the crumbs were left, and there were two Paduch noted that up to 18 percent of men who experience brachytherapy will encounter impotence versus about half men who have standard radiation therapy; following a few years, couple of men will see a significant change. generic cialis online Sildenafil secures the cGMP compound buy levitra online http://www.icks.org/data/ijks/1483475739_add_file_1.pdf so it can deposit and stay for longer time in the male’s genital organ.

Baby Sister Update

I had my 38 week appointment today.  Notables: 1cm dilated (waaay more than I ever was with Brandon at this time), 36 cm girth, normally it’s 1cm for each week along, so I should be 38cm, which I had been measuring 1cm over most of the pregnancy (with Brandon, I was always about 1cm under), and no weight gain since 1.5 weeks ago (that’s a good thing, because I had been gaining pretty steadily, and I was afraid of going over – recommended is 25-35 lbs and I was pushing the upper limit).   The doctor said that the baby most likely has dropped, which is why I’m measuring smaller now.  She also said Baby Sister was probably not going to be as big as Brandon was (woohoo!!).  She was probably The cure process generally commences with a regular dose of prescription medicines, you need to find a find out content cheapest cialis suitable solution to your erectile problems.

We set an “eviction” date – 1/11/09 – it’s a Sunday, but I kinda liked the date.  We got married on 9/1/1, so a bunch of 1’s and 9’s sounds pretty good.  It could be 1/1/9 – which would be the exact opposite of when we got married – my OB encouraged it, too, since she will be on duty that day.  But since I’m not having any contractions, and there isn’t really anything going on, I don’t think it’ll be any time soon.  Just have to do a lot of walking, and watch my holiday eating especially with the sweets, so Baby Sister doesn’t get too big!

The UCLA aunties

Yesterday and today, we got to see the UCLA aunties, some of them anyways.  Kat and Spencer are back for a short time from Singapore.  It’s great to see them; Jos even came up to visit (funny, she never just comes up to see Suong and us, but when Kat’s in town, it requires a special visit – glad she made it up!).  While we were driving to visit them last night, Brandon asked, “Does she have a baby?”  I asked, “Who are you talking about?”  He said, “Auntie Kathleen.”  Hmmm..maybe Brandon knows something we don’t?  I did confirm, and that’s a negative, for now.  Kat, Spencer, and Jos got a taste of Brandon’s over-active imagination.  When asked how he got the scratch on nose, he fabricated this story of falling off the structure, with the cars, and on and on.  They looked at me, and I shook my head It contains high salt best generic viagra content which is higher, ounce for ounce than that of eggs.

Today, we got together for an adults-only luncheon.  Dave was happy to get away from work for awhile, and also happy to not have to worry about kids while eating.  It was great catching up with them without having to worry about “language” or disciplining Brandon.  We learned a lot about the cyber-dating world, and all its intricacies.  We each will look forward to a Suong-generated profile.  Happy holidays, guys!  We got to see Suong twice in a week and a half!  She even asked the girls if they had seen the “Three-foot, two year-old boy.”  We might even be able to convince Jos to come to D-land with us next time for Brandon’s birthday!!

“Being-Have”

Decki brought Brandon another gift today in addition to the one he brought this past weekend.  Decki handed it to Brandon when we walked into the classroom.  “Here, Brandon,” Decki said.  Brandon replied, “Thank you, Decki.”  All by themselves, they had a nice little exchange.  We were bringing the gift upstairs when Brandon said, “Santa won’t take this away?”  I told him Santa wouldn’t as long as he behaved.  “I’m being-have.”  Brandon told all the teachers at school, “Happy Holidays!”  Then You can include broccoli, black raspberries, watermelon, bananas canadian viagra pills and eggs in your daily diet.
