Brrr.....cold Sunday

I don't have too much to update you on because Eric, Maddox and I haven't been doing too much with the freezin' cold and blizzard conditions. We didn't leave the house yesterday ( Sunday) with the wind blowing the snow around and the cold conditions. It is only like 2 degrees right now with a windchill of 18 below or something. Normally I wouldn't take Maddox out today either but we are both starting to get a little stir crazy so we might venture out to Walmart today for a quick trip. The last time we were out of the house was Saturday evening for church. And boy did Maddox have a good night. There weren't any other kids in the nursery so she had run of the mill of all of the toys. But, she played the most on the slide. We have this sort of Noah's Ark thing in the nursery that has 2 slides that come out of it. It is really cool, built out of wood right into the side of the wall. She had never really explored the slides before until Saturday night and she had a hay day! She tried to climb up the slide like she had seen the other kids do but she quickly learned that was impossible and she would go around and walk up the two steps to access the top of the slide instead. It was really fun. Her little eyes were like saucers exploring all the toys. Although I have to say she'd probably have liked at least one other little kid there. She really loves people and gets excited to play with other kids/adults, besides Eric and I. I went to the first half of church and then we switched and Eric went to the second half. It was a good Saturday night and good to get out of the house a bit. I don't have any pictures to post because I literally can't get any good ones. Maddox is OBSESSED with both the camera and the laptops. Right now I'm on my work laptop typing away while she sits on my lap watching a slide show of pictures of her on the MAC. She throws a temper tantrum if you get either the camera or the computers out and she doesn't get to have it in her hands or watch something on the screen which makes for getting pictures entirely difficult. I"ll keep trying later today and see if I can get some posted. She woke up with a cold Saturday AM but has generally been in good humor luckily and with the slide experience on Saturday night at church she slept in till 7.30AMon Sunday and has been taking good naps. I had a baby number 2 check up on Thursday and all is well. Good blood pressure numbers and good baby heart beat running at about 150 to 160 BPM. I go back again in 3 weeks and then 3 weeks after that we'll have another ultrasound. This baby seems to be getting bigger quicker. Don't know if it is physically going to be bigger or if everything is just stretching out more easily this time around. We'll have to wait and see. I'll try to post some pictures later.....Maddox permitting!
