singing, hanging out & incubating

It's been an exhausting few weeks! Forgive the long silence. Things are generally going well. There's been snow, warmth and now cold rainy weather to keep life interesting. A couple of weeks ago, Hopscotch's Playplace had a discount day, so we took the boys to get out some energy on cold, snowy morning. Here are the highlights:

Owen's black eye is healing! It's almost completely gone now (this is an old photo though so it doesn't look that great).

Owen tried on a fireman's hat, and then fought with Lewis and several other children who wanted a turn wearing it.

Lewis enjoyed bouncing.

And hanging from these bars.

At school they are using this visual prompt to help Lewis with the morning routine. We were late one day, so I watched him read it and follow the steps. It was pretty sweet!

I had my 28-week appointment on Thursday, and everything seems to be going well. Dr. Gass says I'm an easy patient because I have no real complaints or issues when I go to see him. He actually told me about some of his recent problems which cracked me up. So glad to have a doctor who is real and understanding! He said I'm measuring at about 30 weeks which is fine, especially since I have delivered at 38 weeks with both prior pregnancies. We are expecting Phoebe to come mid-April, but of course, time will tell!

I got my Rhogam shot for rh incompatibility and I was on my way. Now I get to go every two weeks! It's going by pretty quickly, which is great because I'm exhausted, going to the bathroom way too often and having trouble doing things like picking up stuff off the floor etc. Nothing major, but things are starting to get harder and it will just get worse. But really, I feel great and have had few issues so I can't complain.

Owen even got to feel her move the other night when we were reading books. Then she stopped and he said, "Where'd baby Phoebe go?" We decided she must've been sleeping or something. :)

I'll leave you with a clip of Owen singing "Doe a deer" from The Sound of Music. He sings this a ton, along with Jingle Bells and a few other favorites.
