* Timmy recovered from the stomach virus episode shortly before my mom, the babysitter and I fell victim to it. It was such a rapidly spreading phenomenon; half of his school was out last week with the same symptoms! This week it's the teachers. The scrambling continues, but is much easier to cope with when the little person is happy.
* Despite being (or maybe because he is) healthy, he is showing some serious attitude when pushing boundaries. Whenever I am about to scold him, he says "Seriously?!" in the half-sarcastic, half-rhetorical tone I use all the time when he's being ridiculous. He almost always uses it in just the right place, which makes it SO hard to not give in and laugh.
* It doesn't really count as a funny toddler phrase, but I love how he spells his name right now: "T - I - NEM - Y" sometimes with an "8 - 9" thrown in at the end. He always completes it by clapping his hands, saying Timmy! and pointing to himself.
* The stories he tells and songs he sings are getting more and more entertaining. The other night during bath time, he started telling me about how he's going to take swimming lessons at school. In the pool (which doesn't exist). His teacher is going to be "Betty Boo" who is one of his biggest crushes at school (also happens to be many months younger than him). They will learn to kick and splash and blow bubbles and they'll swim with dolphins, whales, penguins and seals. In the POOL! ("I funny").
* I got on a new deal at work with two of the best supervisors in my office. I love it and really wish I could pick the people I work for and then do so exclusively. Suddenly I'm learning more than I have in the past 6 months and enjoying every minute of it.
* Tomorrow I turn 28. But I'm much more excited about my doctor's appointment the next day because I was told we might be able to find out the sex of baby #2 then. I sort of wish I could just skip tomorrow to find out sooner.
* Both PJO and I have a gut feeling that we're having a girl this time. Last time, my gut feeling said boy and I ended up being right. I honestly have no preference one way or the other. I LOVE little boys and lately I've seen so many families of all boys (3 or 4) where I think, that looks like so much fun and I would be an awesome mom of all boys. A girl would be new and exciting and no one can deny that girls' clothes and accessories are much cuter. I am completely apprehensive about the drama, high emotion, princess-everything and the overload of pink but at least any girl I ever have will grow up with an older brother leading the way. All we ask for is a healthy baby (obviously).
* At least 50% of my wardrobe is now maternity stuff. I'm thankful for a friend who urged me to get a bella band because now I have work pants that will work for a while longer...not many maternity pants come with a '34 - '36 inseam. At least I'm comfortable now, but I still feel awkward walking around with a visible partial belly that's not obviously pregnancy poundage. I'm guessing it won't be long until I'm fully popped out, considering my belly button is mostly there. Gross.

just wanted to pop in, catch up, and say hi! so glad to hear that timmy is feeling better and you're getting on track too. also, great that you've landed on a deal with quality supervision. does your firm do a mid-year eval for first years?
Aaw, it's always so hard to wait to find out the sex! When I was pg with my son, I ordered an online urine test. It's not guaranteed 100% accurate but it was right about our boy!
Have you told people at work that you're expecting? Just curious.
