Fall Purge

We're cleaning house. Getting rid of my homecoming dresses and old business suits (like I'll be wearing a 10 year old suit to an interview some day). Matt is getting rid of old computer-nerdy things. We're both getting rid of some old books and movies. It's actually kinda like a fire sale- everything must go. Jack's big boy bedroom is currently an office so we have to get rid of some furniture and clean out the closet (which is FILLED with some one's camera equipment ::cough::). We've been very productive this weekend. I'm going to need to take a trip to Good Will on Monday.

Fall!

It's here! And we're loving it!

Yesterday Brenna, Amedeo, Jack and I went for a walk around Wilde Lake. That little playground is just perfect for these kiddos. They had a blast!

Baby Update

After the NT scan last Wednesday I felt it safe to come out of the pregnancy closet. Baby is measuring a whole week ahead (at this point that doesn't mean a whole lot because doctors consider anything within 6 days of the expected size to be normal, so what's one more day?) I have been experiencing fetal movement since last Wednesday or Thursday. It's early, I know, but I could feel Jack at 15 weeks, and I could see movement a few days after that, so it's not unexpected. Funny story though, Matt thought it was gas, thanks Matt. I told him to come and feel and he was like "Ugh, fine. I'm not going to feel anything - Oh!" and I was like "That's not me, that's the baby." "Ooohhh!"

Morning sickness is also finally starting to improve. Yay!

Head and Heart (Burn)

This morning we wore our pants on our head.

We also had chili for dinner. Yummy!

Breaking News!

We are now regularly sporting the 'big boy' underpants! Jack has gotten so good with communicating when he needs to go and holding it till he gets to the potty he's in training pants when we're around the house. He still wears his diapers for sleeping and when we go out, but I'm still so proud! He's really getting this potty training thing!

Imagination

The other day Jack was eating lunch and he had a pretzel in each hand. He suddenly started 'flying' them around in the air talking about airplanes. I was totally confused and then I realized, he's pretending that his pretzels are airplanes. This was confirmed when I have him his Kashi toaster waffle this morning and he started talking about wheels and cars and he started steering the 'car' (honestly, I'm not sure what the car was, maybe just the high chair, maybe the whole table?) with the waffle.

I think some more fort building is in his future, and I definitely have to get on building his play kitchen. It's clearly time.

I love you
