Wee Wilson Tales

Jax went for his 18 month check up last Thursday. The doctor says he is doing great! He's right on target for his age. He talked to the doctor a lot (mostly just gibberish), but she said, "He's got a lot of vocabulary there!" It's crazy how much he understands too. He's been working really hard around the house lately. Trying to help dust and vacuum. Also helping Grandaddy by going and getting a wrench when he's asked and even putting the wrench on the valve for him. He's so smart, and when we ask nicely . . . he will do what we ask him to do (put clothes in laundry basket, throw something away, go find his shoes). Here were his stats at the office: Weight 26.2 lbs (50-75%) Height 32 1/4" (50%) HC : 49" (75-90%) New words that he's said since last post: Tree Hat Mel (He's been saying Melvin's name for a while but I only just heard it). Peese (Please) Your welcome Mine This weekend was pretty busy! Caleb, my cousin, came and st...

Last Wednesday, Jax turned 18 months!!! I can hardly believe he is that big, but yet it also seems like he's been here forever. Here are some silly pictures of him the morning that he turned 18 months: Yep - He put his hat on sideways! Holding the base of the phone up to his ear to talk. He threw it, of course, when no one talked back. His sitter has told me a few extra words that he has said, but I don't count those because I didn't actually hear him. So here are the words that his Mommy's heard him say: Night Night Charlie Mugsy Daddy Mama Grandaddy (Gandaddy) Teddy Bear Duck Hey Bye No (maybe more, but that's all I remember) His favorite things to do: Go outside play in the sprinkler Help clean Anything he's not supposed to Throw balls - and unfortunately ANYTHING else Read books Wrestle in the floor with Daddy and Blue Teddy Talk on the phone to anyone or no one Slide down the pool slide with his Daddy Stand up on the couch - a no no Climb up and down the s...

Friday was my 3 hour glucose test. Friday was the day I spent 4 hours in the doctor's office. Friday was the day that I failed my 3 hour glucose test. Friday was the day that I nearly fainted after not eating anything (besides the sugary glucose drink) for 16 hours. Friday is the day that my heretofore perfect pregnancy was no more. So, I'm a bit of a drama queen about it. But I seriously am just now getting past the denial and on to the acceptance. Here is what my test revealed: Timing Diagnostic Criteria for Gestational Diabetes* My Levels Level Fasting 105 mg/dl 82 I hour 190 mg/dl 172 2 hour 165 mg/dl 173 3 hour 140 mg/dl 152 So I passed the first 2 tests. If I had passed the 2 hour test, I would have been finished! But, I failed the last two....thus the new diagnosis. Even though it was a very long appointment,...
