Seeing Ghosts

So last night on the way home from swimming at MiMi's house Caleb gave me quite the little surprise. He was chatting to himself and I just ignored him for a bit thinking he was jibber jabbering like he usually does... But he caught my attention when he asked "whats your name??" He was clearly not speaking to me, but asked him if he was talking to me or not. He said... "No mommy, I'm talking to the man" And he pointed out the window. I didn't immediately think anything and I asked him what who is it. He told me it was a ghost. This is where my heart jumped out my chest. First, he does not know what a ghost is. We have never discussed ghosts with Caleb or what they would look like. Even if he does know something about a Halloween ghost, or say Casper. He described this as a man wearing a hat. He never did give me a name, just kept calling him ghost.

The first person I thought of was my great grandpa who passed away about 8 years ago. I always remember him wearing a hat. Whoever it may have been it obviously did not bother Caleb. But it sure did make my heart skip a beat. I am a very strong believer in the paranormal so I do not believe he was letting his imagination run wild. But I guess only he knows!

29 Weeks






Well Avery and I had a doctors visit yesterday and everything is looking great so far. She is measuring 5 days ahead, which is back down to normal from my 24 week ultrasound where she was measuring 10 days ahead. She weighs 3lbs 4oz and already has fat cheeks just like Caleb did when he was born. I had my glucose test and everything was normal. I also had a non stress test, which is basically where they hook me up to the monitors to monitor her heart rate and see if I am having any contractions. We passed with flying colors ... We are now down to visits every 2 weeks and will get ultrasounds with every visit! YAY!! I got several pictures of her face, which is what you see above.

I am feeling better now. I have actually slept the past 3 nights. I am having to still drink a ton of water to keep myself hydrated, but it is getting easier. So right now I cant complain, but I sure am ready for this to be over. I cant wait to meet my little girl!!!

Caleb is also really excited about being a big brother. He has found himself a baby doll (thanks to MiMi) and he is taking excellent care of her. I found a bottle so he could feed her, and he lets me know when she has a dirty or wet diaper. He is very protective over this baby doll. I cant wait to see how he responds to his sister when she arrives!
