Dino Lingo

I got the opportunity this morning to watch Dino Lingo: le français complimentary from Influenster and let me just start by saying I love it! Dino Lingo has cute art, catchy music, and is the best language learning program for kids I've seen so far. They teach your children by showing pics or clips of the word and saying the word in French. They go over each word a few times a couple different ways adding other words as they go. I feel like I learned some French just watching the clip!
Check out the link to see for yourself! I have to get this for my kids!

Update!

My first daughter Nora Corinne was born March 1, 2012. We tried breastfeeding but failed because of Nora's jaundice. She ended up being hospitalized at 1 week old due to Failure to Thrive. We started supplementing on formula at 1 month and after another month of puking constantly, she was put on hypoallergenic formula. This still didn't work and she was eventually diagnosed with GERD as well and given Neocate formula. This formula worked wonders and at 9 months Nora is finally up to where she should be weight wise!
Nora's brothers are very excited to have a little sister. They love playing with her and cuddling with her. Even if she's a little rough with them sometimes!
We are getting ready for her first Christmas and our second Christmas as a family. The kids, Jordan, and I are very excited. I look forward to sharing!

12 Weeks, 6 days

I had an ultrasound August 2. The hemorrhage was gone but the baby still had no placenta. They brought me back 2 weeks later for another ultrasound. The U/S Tech found the beginnings of a placenta and strange markings on my uterus. They ran extra blood work to make sure it wasn't a molar twin. The next day they called to say it was unlikely. I've had an interesting few weeks but I'm very glad to be out of the first trimester. I have had no morning sickness & just got heartburn today. I have had spotting but they said that was the baby implanting.

Interesting week

Well. From the beginning. I had my first son in June of 2008. A few years later, in 2010 came my second son. I was more that ecstatic for both. Even though I was alone. My ex-husband and I got back together in February of 2011. We got pregnant again and had an ectopic pregnancy that ended in a miscarriage before my first ultrasound in May 2011. I had to have methotrexate therapy to break up the cell bundle. I went to the ER Wednesday to find that we are pregnant again. 5 weeks. I'm due in March. The doctor told me that I have a small hemmorhage in the embriotic sac and a cyst on my ovary. They couldn't find some important things so I am getting another ultrasound next week and blood tests to monitor the pregnancy until they are sure it's alright.  I am working very hard on being optimistic!
