Happy 4th

We went to my mom's house today for the 4th.

Joanna was cute this morning.

Normally, when I drop Joanna off at Nana's, we go through a routine and say goodbye at the door. Joanna usually waves to me and watches me go across the lawn to the road. This morning, she was interested in playing on the couch when it was "time for mommy to go to work." So, I just waved and said "bye bye ... I love you," and she waved to me and said "bye bye, mommy" from the couch. I stepped out the door and Nana spoke to me from inside the screen door for a few moments. She asked if Jason was upset that Joanna was in time out when he came to get her yesterday. I said that I didn't think so. He did mention it, but he did so with more of a matter-of-fact tone.

I turned to walk away and Joanna came up to the door to see me as I walked past the flag and said "bye, bye mommy" and blows me a big kiss! That was really nice and made my day.

Time for the Fetal Movement Chart

Today, I've started keeping the Fetal Movement Chart. The goal is to take a time period during the day to keep track of fetal movements. The baby is supposed to move 10 times within a 2-hour period. I remember the last time I did this, that it usually doesn't even take that long. My first observation today was right on with the previous pattern. Between 3:25 and 3:50p.m. he moved 10 times.
