																																																																																																																																																																																																																																																																																																																																																																																																																																																																																																																																																																																																																																																							 <p><em>As APRIL DREW enters the homestretch of her second pregnancy, she&rsquo;s finding herself in embarrassing situations, but still watching with joy as her baby son Colum continues to grow.</em></p> <p>There isn&rsquo;t a day that goes by that I don&rsquo;t laugh at my 13-month-old son Colum.&nbsp; He is very cute at this age. He soaks up everything.</p> <p>He can now say many words (although not always formed correctly) and can sign (using Irish sign language) over 12. It&rsquo;s extremely useful when he is hungry or tired.&nbsp; But the most rewarding part is when he signs he loves us.</p> <p>It&rsquo;s 7 p.m. on Monday evening and we&rsquo;ve just finished dinner in my house. While cleaning up I dropped a fork on the floor in the kitchen and mumbled &ldquo;Jesus&rdquo; under my breath. Across the room I hear Colum clear as day repeat what I had just said. Can you believe it?</p> <p>He says dad and daddy super clear, even utters my husband&rsquo;s name, John, when he is around, but rarely says mom.&nbsp; John calls me Nancy (after Nancy Drew and the Hardy Boys). Colum does look at me every now and then and shouts &ldquo;Na,&rdquo; so I&rsquo;m wondering if he is making an effort to say Nancy but I can never be sure.</p> <p>----------------</p> <p><strong>Read more: </strong></p> <p><a href="http://www.irishcentral.com/roots/">More stories with Irish roots from IrishCentral</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.irishcentral.com/news/Evil-Irish-lady-steals-1-million-from-Archdiocese-of-New-York--138386454.html">&lsquo;Evil&rsquo; Irish lady steals $1 million from Archdiocese of New York</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.irishcentral.com/news/In-new-book-Irish-prostitute-talks-about-her-double-life-as-middle-class-mother--138386594.html">In new book Irish prostitute talks about her double life as middle class mother</a></p> <p>----------------</p> <p><br />
IT&rsquo;S been a hectic few weeks. Colum has been sick (ear infections, flu and pink eye) and we&rsquo;ve been super busy getting organized for our big move back to Ireland in May.</p> <p>Oh, and not forgetting the hours we spend every evening trying to prepare for our newest arrival on February 20. We spent the weekend dusting off sterilizing equipment, washing baby clothes, assembling cribs and bassinets and looking at more strollers online.</p> <p>God willing this night four weeks we will have our second baby in our hands, and the excitement level keeps rising as the date approaches.</p> <p>Now that I have one child I keep wondering what will our second look like.&nbsp; If it&rsquo;s a boy will he mirror his older brother?&nbsp; If it&rsquo;s a girl will she have any resemblance to Colum? The unknown is exciting.</p> <p>At this stage in the pregnancy I have a lot of doctor&rsquo;s appointments to attend.<br />
One morning last week I had an early visit with my ObGyn.</p> <p>Preceding the appointment I took my phone into a store to fix an issue I had with the speaker.&nbsp; The gentleman in the shop told me it would take about half an hour to rectify and I could come back if I wanted. I glanced around the very small store and was content to stay put when I saw a chair in the corner.</p>
