Big

I am definitely feeling pregnant now, in fact sometimes I feel just downright big. I went to visit my midwife today, she told me that I am measuring perfectly and that I finally have gained two pounds (although I'm still shy of my pre-pregnancy weight). Baby boy was moving around like crazy and his heart was beating around 140 beats per minute. She said everything looked great and that she would see me in another four weeks. At my next appointment I have to drink Glucose, they will then draw some blood about an hour after I drink it, and they will test my blood for Gestational Diabetes. I have never had any issues with this before, so I'm hoping this time around will be the same way. Next visit, I will be one day shy of 28 weeks along, I can't believe how quickly this pregnancy is moving.

Monday we took our oldest daughter to the dentist, she was a little scared at first but realized he was really nice. The dentist said her teeth look great, but she does have a loose tooth. She is really excited about losing her teeth, every morning she checks to make sure she hasn't lost any over the course of the night. She is a little OCD (to say the least) about brushing her teeth, she brushes several times a day, and now our middle daughter is following in her footsteps. My husband can't believe that she is old enough to start losing teeth, they are all getting big so fast.

Busy, Busy

I know, I've been bad again and haven't been blogging like I should. The last couple of weeks we have been really busy. Our youngest is getting in two molars, and has been sick with that. Yesterday when I went in to wake her up, she had taken off her diaper. She was so proud of herself, even though her crib, mattress and everything else was covered in poop. Our oldest just started kindergarten on Wednesday. She attends in the morning, the bus picks her up at our house and I pick her up at school a few hours later. We figured she would love it, and she does, she is so eager to get out of bed in the morning to go. Although I am worried she is coming down with a bug, she has been coughing a lot and been laying around in the afternoons. Our middle daughter is doing well too. When her older sister is at school, I have been working with her at home in her workbooks. She is doing great, we want to make sure she is prepared for kindergarten next year. She isn't always as motivated as her older sister, but seeing her sister going to school is very motivating for her. I am now 23 weeks along, and our little guy moves around like crazy. It's so hard to believe that we'll have another baby in about 16 weeks (I'll more than likely be induced a week early). I think we have decided on a name, but I don't really know if we are 100% yet. I feel a little overwhelmed when I think of everything that needs to be done and bought before our baby boy gets here. I go to another midwife's visit on Wednesday, we'll see if I have finally gained weight (I sure hope I'm at least up to my pre-pregnancy weight, or my midwife won't be very happy with me). I'll try and be more faithful with updated my blog, but I have honestly not even been online much the last couple of weeks.

New Car

We sold my husband's truck Wednesday evening, and yesterday he bought a car. We found the car online and bought it in Kentucky yesterday. It's a 1992 Saab 9000 Turbo, he loves it already. He probably won't be driving it anywhere other than to and from work, but it's perfect for what he needs it for. It should get at least 30mpg, it has a little get up and go, but not too much. Surprisingly it's body is really nice for a '92, it has no rust and the paint is still pretty glossy. He insisted on buying a car with a manual transmission, even though I can't drive one well at all (I usually kill it every five feet). I guess I don't ever need to drive it, I love my suv (and we can't fit four kids in the back). He drove it to work today, and said that it did great on all of the hills. Hopefully we have a keeper, and it doesn't give us any problems. I think we have decided to keep his motorcycle for now, he loves riding it on sunny days. So for now we have our gas guzzling Cadillac Escalade, his fuel efficient Honda 919 and his practical Saab 9000.
