newest addition!

It feels like a long while since I last posted.  I started writing the weekend after we got back from our holiday trip, but didn't finish, so I didn't post it.  We had an ultrasound on Monday, and it took a long while since the little person wasn't being cooperative.  We didn't want to find out the sex, but even if we had, the legs and arms were crossed the whole time and he/she kept moving, doing somersaults and flips.  But we did get a picture to take home.

  The same profile as it's siblings :)

There has been quite a bit going on.  First week back at school for the Boy, back in the office for Hubby.  Pregnancy is moving along.  Lots of baby movement (Hubby has even felt it a couple of times) and fatigue from the holiday let down and trying to get back into a routine.

We spent the first weekend back taking down the Christmas decorations and setting the house in order.  Still have stuff to do, but it's mostly in the basement, so I can almost pretend it isn't there at all.  The Girl is going up and down stairs all by herself now.  She is communicating better too!  I can sometimes understand her words/sentences.  She has "I want" down pat and definitely makes it known what it is she wants.

Boy2 is himself.  We're still working on getting him to slow down, think, and BREATHE when he gets so upset.  His temper seems to escalate at an alarming rate, but he is only three, so I guess it's good that we're working on it now.  In public he's fine (for the most part) and it's worse when he's tired (alot lately since the Girl has been yelling in the middle of the night interrupting everyone's sleep).  But it will get better.

The Boy is loving being back in school.  When it let out before the break, he was spending alot of time playing with some girls he'd gotten to be very good friends with (chasing away the boys who were chasing them.  Defending them :), but the last couple of days he seems to have become better friends with some other boys from his class.  So it's good that he's broadening his base of friends.
