Rick has started asking Mallory to listen to him when he needs her to do something. He says: “Mallory, you need to listen to Daddy” and she responds “I listen for you Daddy”.
* * *
And this doesn’t have to do with prepositions but it’s another Mallory-ism. She likes to eat dinner at the “res-or-raunt”. I know the pronunciation isn’t that far off from normal but it still kills me when she says it.

40w4d Baby Arlo Update
I promise that once the baby is born, I won’t continue with the “1d old Baby update”, “2d old Baby update” daily posts.
But, I’m still here. With a baby in my tummy.
I don’t know where she gets it.
Mallory continues to have this unbelievably stubborn streak. If you want to get her dressed and are already on the floor ready to do it, she wants to do it “riiiiight….HERE” and it’s ALWAYS just out of reach of where Rick or I happen to already be. Same with fixing her hair, or brushing her teeth, or putting her shoes on. My new trick is to tell her I don’t think she can put her own pants/shirts/socks/shoes on and BAM – she’ll do it herself. Let’s hope that works for a while. ;-)
She is also really really bossy. When we …
40w3d Baby Arlo Update
Still pregnant.
READERS DIGEST VERSION: Had my weekly appointment this morning. Fluid levels are great again, baby was a little sluggish and sleepy so they had to use this taser thingy on my belly to wake it up for the monitors. Then the baby jumped and they got the readings they needed to see and I was allowed to leave. Dr B is happy with how I am progressing and has me scheduled for an induction Sunday night (we’ll go in ~6p). Because I am so far along already, it’s expected that my labor will be way faster than it was …
40w2d Baby Arlo Update
Still pregnant. Here is proof.
40w1d Arlo update
Still pregnant.
40w. Still Pregnant
No update. Still pregnant. Nothing to report but didn’t want everyone to think I’d actually gone into labor.
It’s right here!
Just tucked Mallory into bed (yes, it was 6.30p, but she failed to have that nap today, remember?).
Anyway, just tucked her in and I asked “Hey! Where’s my goodnight kiss & hug?”
Princess Smart Aleck unplugged her pacifier and said “It’s RIGHT HERE!” and puckered up.
She sure knows how to make me forget about our afternoon (at least the part of our afternoon where she screamed for 25 minutes because of who-knows-what – probably a combo of no nap and refusing lunch).
Hey Guys!
Mallory has been saying “guys” for a while but it is really starting to increase. She’ll say “hey you guys” in reference to Rick & me, and she’ll grab two of her baby dolls and say “these guys are poopy, they need diapers” and then she’ll say “these guys need powder on their tushies” and she’ll say “you guys wanna go outside wiv me?” (while talking to her babies). And a million other times she says “guys” during the day and it just sounds so freaking funny!
Today when we walked in the door, she headed straight upstairs to (supposedly) take …
39w6d Arlo Update
Reader’s Digest version is that I’m still pregnant. Stop here if you don’t want details.

My fluid level was AWESOME this morning – like triple what it was on Monday. So either I somehow drank a million gallons of water in the last three days (unlikely) or they measured way wrong on Monday (likely). But what that means is that I didn’t get induced today.
The baby looked great on the monitors today – lots of good accelerations and apparently the monitor showed I was having some contractions but I wasn’t feeling them. Dr B did do an internal exam …
