The MacLeodZoo

I guess this will be my last monthly update for him *sniffle* He's just amazing and has come so far in 11 months. From this... to well, much bigger, lol. He's outgrown his 6-12 month clothing, has started standing up on his own and even taken a few steps. It won't be long before he's running around, lol. We took him to the science center on Friday and he had a great time looking at everything there, our next stop - the Zoo!!

After hanging up on him (oh yes, and the day previous I was telling him and Gary - "I have 3 kids, of course I would KNOW if I'm pregnant, sheesh") and calling back to apologize it started to sink in, I'm having another BABY, my baby is 9 months old, FOUR kids! Valium anyone?? Wheeeeee. I managed to pull myself together long enough to put the call into my Midwives office, where Carolynn re-assured me that I'd be fine, and that 17 months - really isn't that close together. She ordered me an ultrasound to date th...
