Happy One and a Half Birthday!

As we promised her when she was born, we celebrated her half birthday today with cupcakes and a present. She got a little baking set (that you can really use to cook, but it's all toddler-size pieces) and a yellow cupcake with chocolate icing. She LOVES chocolate, as you can see.



At her 18-month appointment last week she was a little over 22 lbs and 33 inches tall. She has a vocabulary of 50+ words at this point, and is on to two-word sentences, like "Mommy help," "Feed Kitty," "Cracker Please," and so on. She's doing pretend play, which is very interesting and early.... she'll "feed" her stuffed animals and give them drinks, and then put them to bed. It's adorable.

She is the light at the end of every day, and my joy in the morning. Happy 18-month Birthday PeeWee.

For those readers of this blog, an update on our TTC journey. We did get a positive pregnancy test back in early May, and initially the bloodwork looked good. But subsequent ultrasounds revealed no heartbeat and no growth, and multiple attempts at initiating a natural miscarriage with medication failed. So today I had a D&C. This is my 6th pregnancy, my 5th miscarriage. We wait a cycle, and then possibly do a HSG to check for scar tissue since this is my 4th D&C. If all is clear, then we move back into TTC again. I don't know what we do if I miscarry again. I won't think about it unless we get there.
