Ethan is doing very well. He has been playing a lot today. He didn't want to go to sleep without his water bottle Monday night. I think we had our first argument. He wanted to have it open while he went to sleep and I closed it. He got so mad. I set it by his bed, but he still carried on to have it open. He wanted his blanket over him but wouldn't lay down because he was scared I would take his water bottle away. Anyway, he finally lay down on his "pilpo" and held the water bottle ...

I'm devastated, bitter, upset and more sad than I knew I could ever be. If I can't have you, I feel like nobody ...

We went yesterday for our ultrasound appointment. We had this one already scheduled as they were going to do the measurements, but the doctor wanted us to come in to be sure again. Aren't we glad we did. Or course the doctor on Thursday was not there and we had a different technician this time, but we have seen them before so we did know them. As she was putting the goop on me she started looking and kept saying, " hm.." she would cock her head to the side, press down in different directions ...
