A little update...life as we know it :)

Some random things going on at the Smith house:

- As I write this, I am battling one major case of heartburn. It comes in waves, and I just want some chocolate ice cream to soothe it! Unfortunately, I placed a ban on all ice cream in the house because I was astounded - and slightly mortified - by the rate I was going through pails of ice cream. Yes, that's right. I said pails. About a pail a week, believe it or not. With only a little help from Mike. I had to put a stop to it.

- Despite wicked heartburn, I feel good. Much better. I get chest pains now and again and I can feel how fast my heart is beating which is not fun. I am chalking up feeling better to switching prenatal vitamins. I felt almost instantly better the day I started to take my new vitamins. Is it just a placebo thing? Maybe. I don't care. I'll take it.

- I went to the cardiologist last Monday. I had my third EKG in about six weeks, and then he listened to my heart quite extensively. He worried me a little bit when he started to talk about "options" and he didn't seem to believe me when I said I have NEVER EVER smoked. He set me up with a echocardiogram which was interesting. My mom is an old pro at all that heart-related stuff so she gave me a play-by-play on what it would be like. Mike went with me for the echo appointment, and he asked all sorts of hilarious questions that had the tech and I laughing. 

- I wore a holter heart monitor for 24 hours and still bear the side effects of those darn electrodes. Red blotchy skin. Bleh. I am anxious to see how those results turn out.

And now some pictures!

This is my Amish boy haircut...before I got it fixed.

Grayson and his pacifiers. Here he is swapping them out because he can.

Fixed haircut. Like it a lot better. And the electrodes from my holter monitor.
Very stylish. I made sure I wore a scarf so I didn't freak people out.

Taking a nap at Grandma's.

I've written quite a bit about Grayson's great love for Daddy. I  think it is more than evident in this picture.

Grayson took a "selfie."

Love those lazy afternoons with Mike and Grayson.

We went to Pizza Hut. Grayson peed through his diaper.
And then screamed BLOODY MURDER for all the world to hear in the bathroom.
Thankfully my mom was there to help me.

Grandpa and Grandma M purchased a little mini-recliner for their grandbabies.
Grayson got to try it out. He was a fan. Can't wait for Emery and Baby Girl (Robbie and Tracy's little one) to try it out.

Going simple with Valentine's Decor, even though it is my favorite holiday.
