Gone Again

Well Greg is gone once again. He left last Wednesday night, and is once again at the platform in the Gulf. It is hard while he is gone, because Mackenzie doesn't understand what is going on and anytime we go somewhere she cries. I dropped her off at Mother's Day Out today and they said she just wasn't her normal happy go lucky self. I think it is a combination of her missing her Daddy and being afraid that I am not going to come back to get her (on top of cutting her last couple of eye teeth!). We try to stay busy while he is gone, go on walks, go on outings and just play so she is tried and goes to bed early (so Mommy can have a break) and it seems to work, she is generally in bed by 7:30 at the latest, and lets just say that sometimes Mommy isn't too far behind as I have been in bed some nights at 8:30! Last week I had a visit with my specialist, and the little guy is already up to 2 lbs. 6 oz., he is in the 57% on his weight so he might turn out to be a chunk, we shall see. The specialist doesn't think he will weigh more then 7 1/2 lbs so we will see, I go back in 6 weeks to see him again and I will find out more like when they will actually decide to induce me and a better estimate of his delievery weight. Tomorrow I have my glucose test, and am hoping that comes back negative, don't really care to do the 3 hour one! I have gained a whole 10 pounds right now, hopefully I don't gain much more only time will tell. I should have a little less then 11 weeks, hard to believe the little guy will be here that soon! Today I actually got some good photos so I figured I would post them. It seems lately I get a close up head shot as she walks toward the camera or her hand grabbing for it, but today she was actually somewhat cooperative.
