At his 18 month appointment ... a month ago ... I know, I am woefully behind on the posting of developmental things he does such as GROW LIKE A WEED... his pediatrician showed him the sign for "more." Ever since, he asks for a snack by doing that sign and saying " 'Nack? 'Nack?" It is the cutest thing, and I just can't refuse him a 'nack when he asks for it. Here's a posed video of it ... he was already eating his fruit 'nacks. Which, thanks to my sister in law the Brainiac, I now know that a package of fruit 'nacks is 13 grams of sugar. She took sugar packets and poured them out on her scientific scale and found that a single sugar packet is 2.7 grams of sugar. So every pack of fruit 'nacks is almost 5 sugar packets. WOW. That is a lot of sugar. Not so much with the fruit.
Mr Lemon is upstairs putting together Sprite's crib. We're being sensible this time around and going with used/borrowed baby gear. We scored a changing table on Craigslist for $25, borrowing the crib and a bassinet from said brainiac sister in law. We also begged a rocking chair from his grandma for the babies room. When Zesty was going into a high chair, we went with a booster seat to save space. This kitchen has space aplenty, so we'll be on the lookout for a regular high chair on Craigslist when the time comes, since Z will still be in his booster seat.
And I have no clever way to end this post except to say that there is still no baby, and the doctor said if I haven't had her by my Monday appointment that we would discuss an induction. I know I'm just being impatient because I'd already had Zesty at 39 weeks, but still. I don't know if I will make it until Monday. My belly cannot possibly stretch any further.
