This was Rex's first time on the potty. I caught it on video.

Rex & Queso

Rex just loves queso. We've been to two great Mexican places since moving back to Texas and he goes to town on the queso. Yesterday he used one chip and kept dipping it & licking it, over and over. It would eventually break, he'd eat it, then get another chip to reuse again and again until it broke. Finally, he just grabbed a spoon.

Don't Mess with Texas

David's co-workers gave him a little send off yesterday. Balloons, cake, and happy hour after work. It was really nice. His boss told him several times that there will always be a job for him there at Presby and that he can have it back if he ever wants it. So sweet.

#3

I got a peek at Perry #3 this morning! He/She was a little wiggler. Waved "hi" at me, etc. You can see the little head on the right with a tiny hand by the face, sucking on it's thumb. ;) As of today, the baby measured at 10 weeks 6 days which is a week further along than I thought. So my due date has been moved up to September 22. Typically repeat c-sections are done at 39 weeks, but since Sept. 15 is a Saturday, I'm guessing it would wait til Monday, Sept. 17.

One funny thing--- the tech was able to see that I'd ovulated from my right ovary. Now that I think about it, Rex came from my left ovary---I remember being told that when I was 5 or 6 weeks pregnant with him. How can they tell?! Actually, I know they can tell by looking at the ovary, but it amazes me they can still determine it 2 months after the fact.

4!

John David turned 4 today. When he woke up, I reminded him it was his birthday and he said, "Yeah, 3 is gone forever! I'm FOUR now." Then he whispered, "Did 3 die?"

When we got to preschool today, his teacher, Mrs. Hurley, had made him a special birthday crown. Purple is his favorite color (of the moment). Today it's his turn to be "the birthday snack helper," so he took mini chocolate cupcakes and strawberries.

His friend Carson gave him this shirt for his birthday & he wore it to his party on Sunday. This morning he asked me to wash it for him so he could wear it to preschool.

birthday news

Good news on my 35th birthday!  

I have a job.  :)

While we were in Texas house hunting, I interviewed at the same hospital David did.  They called me this morning to offer me a position.

Yay, I'm so excited.  I'll be working in acute care, mostly trauma patients who have orthopedic injuries from things like car accidents, gun shot wounds, and other accidents.  I'm so thrilled.  This is the type of position I was looking for when we moved to Pittsburgh but I could not find any openings.
