Twenty Two

Sunday July 26th was a day of 22 in our house. Zoe turned 22 months and I hit my 22nd week of pregnancy. 22 marks a lot of growing for both of us. Zoe is learning new words at an astonishing rate.

Zoe's new words the past few weeks have been:
"Empty"- previously known as "End"
"Aw Man!"- said when she saw a Swiper the Fox doll
"Zoe"- she finally says her and she says,
"Zoe Ballerina"- when referring to her Zoe doll
"Baby"- not a new word but she points to her belly or my belly
"Side"- meaning outside. Usually said when she wants to go play outside
"Horsie"- this word she learned while visiting in Texas
"Eee Aww"- meaning Yee Haw. Learned this from Woody in Toy Story.
"Ash"- she pulls her stool up to the sink and wants to wash her hands. Well, more like play in the water.

Enjoy the video of her laughing while being tickled!
Chuck is growing at a slower but no less astonishing rate. I feel her kicking and moving around very frequently. Daddy was able to feel her this week when she went on a kick boxing exercise. I found out from my OB that I have complete placenta previa. Our hope is that as Chuck grows, the placenta will move out of the way and I can avoid a c-section delivery. I will have another ultrasound between 30-32 weeks to evaluate the placenta placement. My odd request for friends and family would be to pray that the placenta moves so I can have a normal, uncomplicated pregnancy and delivery!
