Update on our kids

You can really tell how cute this kid is going to be!










On the 30th we had the big ultrasound at 23 weeks. I think most doctor's offices do them earlier, but not the new one I go to. I get an ultrasound every time and it's a nice office but the wait time is ridiculous. I'm not sure I want to continue with my current midwife if I have to wait 1-3 hours to be seen for 5-10 minutes. It wasn't this way at all with my last midwife. Jerry and Xander both came to the appointment and I think we waited about 90 minutes to be seen. Luckily they have a big playground in a side room by the waiting room. Xander had a good time going down the slide and running around. We got to have a regular and a 4D ultrasound which turned out some really good pictures. The baby is measuring pretty close to my due date of July 23rd. They estimated them to weigh 1 pound 4 ounces which is normal. Hopefully I wont have too big of a baby. Xander was only 6lbs but he came early. Everything looks great so far. I know I'm blessed to have the chance to be a mommy to 2 healthy kids. I know not everyone gets that opportunity in life.
I took Xander in for an Early Intervention evaluation to see if he qualifies for speech therapy..and no surprise he does. The positive is that he isn't super far behind. They observed him and asked questions and none of his skills go below 18 months. He is 20 months now and born 3 weeks early, so he isn't as far behind as we thought. We still need to find a way to clear up his congestion. I'm sure he would love to breath normal someday. The tubes don't seem to be helping. The cool thing is they put his large motor skills at 24 months. It seemed like he was so slow to catch on his first year, but he is learning so quickly the last few months. He didn't walk until 14 months, but it seems like he is doing so well since those first steps. I can't wait to get him to communicate with us someday. I would love to be called mommy since I have been one for almost 2 years now.
We have less then 4 months now to prepare for a new addition...We have a room to furnish, turn Xander's room more into a toddler room and take one last big trip before we are busy with two kids. Who knows when we will have time for anything after that.
