This Week...

...we are 29 weeks prego! Grace should weigh around 2.5 pounds, and from here on out I should be gaining weight like crazy...oy.

...we had a doctor's appointment and found out that my glucose levels are normal (thank God...no gestational diabetes for me), but my iron levels were a little low. I started iron supplements so hopefully that takes care of it. I've been dealing with Restless Leg Syndrome (RLS) since wayyy before I was pregnant, but it wasn't ever that bad. For those of you who have never heard of this, it's a new thing that just started getting diagnosed around 2003. It's not painful at all, but when you sit still for a long time (like during a movie) your legs get this weird feeling in them. It's like if you don't move them, they'll start to cramp up or something so you just move them and then it goes away for a minute or two. Then the feeling comes back. I usually just sit on the ground and stretch my legs out and then it will go away. It gets worse at night and some women have trouble sleeping. I've never had it wake me up, but I've felt it a few times before I fell asleep. The past few weeks it's been getting worse so I decided to start reading about it online. Apparently, one of the causes is thought to be low iron levels. I can happily say that since starting the supplements on Monday, my RLS is pretty much completely gone!!

...my sister Andrea was in town, so we ate out A LOT (like seriously, every night this week). We spent lots of time with the family and had a lot of fun. It was nice for us all to be together again!

...we were scheduled for our Infant CPR class again and we rescheduled...again.  Now it's on April 17th which is a Saturday so hopefully it'll be easier for us to make it!

...Char was sleeping so peacefully Monday morning that I didn't want to wake her up. ...she made me a pretty picture at school with chalk. ...she continued her obsession with the easel and colored (and watched Toy Story ) while waiting for Daddy to get home from work. Hooray for panties! ...it got cold and windy again, but we played outside anyways. Isaac played catch with the neighbor boys, while JJ flew the kite and Char strutted her stuff. ...the girls danced around the living room. There is an iTunes Radio station called 'Frozen Radio' that the girls are crazy about. They play random Disney songs, and we listen to it all.the.time. (After watching this a few times, I realized that Char was trying to sing "friend in" as in "You've Got a Friend In Me".) ...Grace put Charley to bed by tickling her face. ...the girls got cake pops. Yep, for breakfast. ...we got to school a few minute...

Can you believe Grace is nineteen months old? Time flies so much faster when you have a baby! This month she got to go see Dr. Vu for a check-up and didn't even have to get any shots. She was super excited hanging out in the waiting room and even learned how to say "cars": At nineteen months, Grace weighs in at 26 pounds, 4 ounces. This puts her in the seventy-fifth percentile for weight. We absolutely love that she's so squishy. It's makes it much more fun to smother her cheeks with kisses. She is also 31 inches tall. This is in the sixtieth percentile. Baby must have gone through a growth spurt since her last check up, because she was only in the thirtieth percentile back then. This month Grace learned a lot of new words. My favorite is when we say her bedtime prayers and at the end she says, "aaaamennn". It's so precious! She's now obsessed with Elmo and says "Ah Ehmo?" for "Where's Elmo?". She's also go...

Charley turns FIVE!

Char Char, the five year old. That doesn't even seem real. This girl has grown and changed so much over the past couple of months. She's lost her toddler look and is total big girl status these days. (She does still have her chipmunk voice, so at least I can hang on to that.) Charley will be starting Kindergarten soon, and we have her orientation this upcoming weekend. I'm not ready for that. With Grace, I was so excited. Charley still feels like a baby to me. She, on the other hand, cannot wait to join her big sis and the Sebastian boys at school every day. Charley recently had a doctor's appointment where they told her she didn't need any shots, and she was so happy after anticipating them all day. She weighed in at forty pounds and stands forty-four inches tall. She's in the fiftieth percentile for weight and the seventy-fifth for height. She is in size five in almost everything and is wearing a size ten in shoes. Char loves her dresses a...
