Bouncing and boo-boos!

Eli got a new chair, and he was very excited about it. I took a quick video of him first trying it out. Sorry the quality stinks, as it was from my phone, and please ignore my voice, lol! (His voice is so quiet when he's saying certain words, but he does say them!)





Then while we were playing last night he did something to his lip. I'm not quite sure how, but he did none the less. No tears or anything. I noticed him sucking his lip and it just looked a little puffy. Well, he continued to suck on it, and it drew the blood near the surface. Gross, but fortunately he doesn't seem to be bothered by it. It's already starting to look better thank goodness!

My poor little man and his boo boo lip. Speaking of his lip, I need to end with this photo, because it cracks me up! Again, the quality isn't great because it was taken with my phone!

And, we're blogging!

We are officially blogging! It's so hard to keep track of who I send what pictures, and to keep everyone updated on all the Salem family happenings, so hopefully this will make it easier on all of us!

Things have been crazy lately! I have been on moderate bed rest since I was 30 weeks due to pelvic separation. Eli is not a fan of this since it means mommy cannot pick him up! I have had weekly doctor appointments and non-stress tests to monitor the baby's heart also since 30 weeks. For those who don't know, the baby had a spot on his heart in an earlier ultra sound. At a follow-up scan, it had disappeared, so it was most likely a calcium deposit, so that was great news. At this same appt. he was having an irregular heartbeat, which he didn't have the previous month. So the weekly non-stress tests are to monitor his heart arrhythmia. I'll be seeing a specialist on Monday, May 11th, and will have a fetal echo-cardiogram and level 2 ultra sound done. We're hoping it goes away by delivery, but if not, we'll deal with it then!

He's a crazy little man who moves non stop all day and night long. Nader and I are convinced he does this since we haven't chosen a name for him yet! And no, we don't have any idea what we'll name him, lol! We only have 7 weeks until we get to meet baby no name!!

Eli is such a little man now, doing new things and coming up with new words every day!! Here are some recent pictures of the ham himself:

The many faces of Eli:

That's all for now! Stay tuned for and I will do my best to keep everyone posted. Nader hates the computer, so don't be counting on him to update when I have the baby, haha!
