Playing Catch Up!!

The first thing I want to write about is my doctor's visit. I went on Wednesday the 14th. Things were going good - when I first got on the scale she said I was 129 - which was 10 pounds less than my first visit. So she made me get back on the scale - and the second time she got 132 - which was 7 pounds lighter. I had been pretty nauseous the past month and I'm thinking at last visit I may have left my shoes on - either way the doctor didn't say anything about it so it's clearly not a concern. I did get to hear the baby's heartbeat! It was the first time I heard it so that was such a relief and nice sound. He said everything is going well, but according to the u/s reports he has my due date is now September 28! So I went from the 16th to the 25th to the 23rd to the 28th!! I don't think they can push it back much further!

Saturday we had a song service followed by an ice cream fellowship at our church. We have 4 brothers from Africa who have come to preach - they came last year for the first time to our church and it really is such a treat. They are very nice and we enjoy when they come. The boys really enjoyed their deserts - especially Owen. I put them in green polos for St. Patrick's Day, but didn't get any pictures before church, and of course Owen got chocolate all over his shirt! I did get some cute photos of his messy face though.

We had services today as well. The preschool kids still went to their regular Sunday school and today they painted. (well I guess it's yesterday now!) Owen wasn't too interested - I tried to give him a marker to be less messy, but he just sucked on the marker getting it in his mouth and on his face! So we put those away! Near the end of class, Logan had gotten some black paint on the table in the snacks and Owen put his hand right in there and ate the snacks and was covered in black paint! It was such a mess. The paint and markers were all non-toxic so that was very good!! Logan lately had been trying to reason things out. He thinks he is a monkey when he is naked, because Daddy told him monkey's don't where clothes. He also thinks he is a monkey because he likes bananas. He told me the other day that he was a Daddy. I asked him why - he replied - "because I'm a he." Tonight he came in and asked me if I was a person I said I was. He told me that he and I were both persons because we had blue eyes. He said that Daddy was not a person because he didn't have blue eyes! He's definitely trying to reason things out, just doesn't quite get the hang of it all yet! He also came in and asked me if I liked good snakes. I told him I don't like snakes. He said you just don't like bad snakes, but you like good snakes. I told him I didn't like any snakes. But he told me that the green snake on his Little Einstein movie was nice and would show me where the balloons are. So he was a good snake. So I guess I'm to like him. He also told me that he thought he heard a monkey outside! I said really? He said "yeah I heard ooh ooh ahh ahh." Sometimes he just cracks me up! Well I just wanted to make sure to write those down before I forgot! The time flies by so fast these days!!

Which reminds me of one more thing - on Thursday we went shopping with my mom. We bought the boys some shoes and Owen got a pair of those croc shoes that are so popular. He LOVES them. He doesn't want to take them off. We don't wear shoes in the house, but oh he gets so upset if you take them off, so we let him wear them. If we do take them off, he finds them and puts them back on! He loves shoes - and belts, but anytime he has a belt, he takes it and puts it around his neck! He just wears it like that! It is too cute!
