Time for a new one.

My kids are asleep and I have a bit of down time to update the blog. Life has been busy and it really is hard to keep up with the writing. Frank is away on a work trip (again) and even though I miss him and can't wait for him to get back, I also find that I can keep on top of things pretty good when he's away. I think I automatically try harder to keep up with the cleaning and make sure the kids are on schedule because I know it will make things easier for me. By evening I am wiped and won't feel like cleaning up so I keep on top of it so I can relax once the kids go to bed. I really should be this way all the time. 

The pregnancy is going well. I am just about to enter into the 3rd trimester! We've had about 3 fetal assessments and everything looks great with the baby. We are having another boy and I couldn't be more thrilled. The other day a woman came up to me and asked if I'm having a girl this time. I told her no it's another boy and she said "oh how disappointing". I was a bit shocked by that. Why on earth would I be disappointed by having another boy?? I kindly told her that I was really excited about my boy and joked that I don't know what I'm missing because I already have 2 boys and I love it. Some people are so weird!! Having a boy seems so easy to me now and I feel like I don't even need to get anything ready for this baby. We have everything! 

Gavin is doing well. Next month he will be seizure free for a year! I am definitely starting to relax a lot more with him but there are still some concerns I have with his meds. He gets really sleepy after I give them to him so I've been trying to change the times I give them so that he gets the most out of his day. Yesterday I gave his meds later in the morning and I was able to go to a church mom's group and he had a great time. When we got home after lunch I gave his meds and he had a nice long nap and was happy all afternoon. Today I gave his meds at his usual time and went off to the mall. It didn't take long for Gavin to start whining that he was tired and he wanted to go home to bed. We didn't get any shopping done and once we got home he went straight to bed and fell asleep. I think for now on I will give him his meds around 11 so we can enjoy our mornings. 

Owen is hilarious right now. He's at such a cute age. He's trying to talk and is doing really well with that. Gavin loves to get him to say words which really makes me laugh. Sometimes he'll get him to say hard words like "sprinkle donut". I love hearing him try. He's less whiny then when he just turned one and just goes about his day exploring and learning. He is sleeping through the night which is the hugest blessing to me. I have so much more energy when I get a full nights sleep. He usually goes to bed around 7ish and wakes up about 7am when his brother gets up. 

I have a bunch of pictures I'd like to post but that will have to wait till Frank gets back from his trip. I have all the good pictures on his computer. 

Hopefully I can find some more time to keep up with writing a bit more. I am going to enjoy the few minutes of quiet time I have left.
