Michelle checkup...she is 4!

Monday last week I took her to the doctor for her 4 year checkup.  She is still little, 37.25 inches and 28.8 lb, which is the 10% for both height and weight.  Bigger than before when she was 8%.  Poor kid was not too happy with shots, but did really well and was very happy with the sucker she got.

Outside play

My kids had fun playing outside in the front yesterday.  Daddy set up the bounce house, and later we saw this little guy in our live oak trees out front.  Then I got these guys to sit on the front porch to take their picture. They are so silly, but really growing! 

4 missing teeth

My sweet boy lost another tooth a week ago, for a total of 4 missing teeth!  Now he has the classic big gap in his mouth which he is proud of.  He has one adult tooth coming in on the bottom.  He was excited to get his 4 quarters from the tooth fairy.  If Matthew shows off his missing teeth, Michelle pipes in with, "I still have all MY teeth!"

20 weeks! It's a .... BABY ... GIRL!!!!

I had my 20 week prenatal appointment on Wed. the 16th, including the anatomy ultrasound. Blood pressure is still good 110/80, urine test was fine, weight I am down 1/2 lb for a total gain of 7.5 lb, fundus is right where it should be at my belly button. Since about 19 weeks, I have been feeling a lot more movement in there so the baby is definitely getting stronger and bigger. All is looking great!!! :)

My kids' reactions to finding out it is a baby sister? Michelle is over the moon excited (she has been saying all along it is a baby girl), and she insists that the baby's name is Sarah. We have not yet decided on a name, but will keep that one in mind. She told me that when the baby comes out, if she cries, Michelle will give her a hug and hold her hand. So sweet! Matthew was hoping for a brother, but I think he will be fine with another sister once she was here. He says we need to have another baby after this so he can have a brother. Chris told him NO WAY! He says we'll have our hands full with these 3.
