Here Comes Your Man

28 Weeks - Midwife Check-in

I met with my midwife today and everything seems to be going just dandy fine with the pregnancy. My blood pressure is good. My weight is right on target. And iron and glucose levels came back in the normal range. The baby was head down this morning and her heartbeat was good, although fast from the glucose test. My belly is measuring a bit big and we'll have another ultrasound in four weeks to try to determine just how big the baby will be. There is concern, obviously, since Henry was so big. I will see the midwife every two weeks now as we're officially in the third trimester!

Outside Time!

It rained for a week and then hit the 60's. All of our snow was gone in a jiffy. That meant our little adventurer quickly learned of puddle jumping, yard exploring and mud. Mmmm.... mud.

Henry likes his trike but needs to grow another inch or two before he'll be able to reach the pedals. At this point, he likes to be pushed and likes to walk behind it and push it himself even better!

All is well. Bring on Spring!

The whole family is finally healthy. Henry had another round with very high fever and rash last week that turned out to be Roseola. This resulted in me being out of the house for only 5 hours in 7 days. I had a mild melt down on Friday as a result, but am happy to report that everyone survived. In fact, Henry has slept 12-13 hours the past three nights allowing Nathan and I to also catch up. So far today has been a very normal day for us and, as lame as it sounds, normal is heavenly. We've been able to go outside the last two days to enjoy the nearly 40 degree temperatures and to learn all about splashing in mud puddles. Here to compare and contrast, two very different photos:
