the wheels go round and round

Bus! Plane! Choo choo train! Helicopter! Car! CJ seems to be a bit obsessed with the various modes of transportation. Wheels on the bus is her favorite song, but she loves to play with her train set and is always quick to point out trains or railroad tracks. And all day we see and hear planes or helicopters flying above. She always says the same thing too "Plane! not helicopter, plane!" Of course her helicopter comes out a bit different..."coptercopter" and she reverses the saying when it is a helicopter. She is really quick at discerning which one is flying over, even when we are inside. She also points to every single silver van, and announces "my car". Any trip we take is filled with lots of observations, and mostly about the other vehicles we see. It is fun to watch her discover new wonders and words in the mundane of life. Here are a couple of pictures from when we went to the Navy aviation museum. She loved "flying" the Blue Angel and the helicopter. She told one little boy who came over that it was her helicopter.




We are keeping busy and trying to get all the last minute stuff ready for the new baby. We went to the hospital for monitoring again today, checking for preeclampsia, hypertension and stress on the baby -I wasn't feeling well and having some swelling issues. The baby was having some very unusual heart rates but after about a couple of hours, it found a base rate and was much more stable. Everything turn out great, and the baby is not in-stress. So we are back to waiting. I am getting anxious and really hope that the baby doesn't wait 3 or 4 more weeks. I try to remember that it is not in my time but in God's time. Plus we want this little one to be as healthy as it can be!
