So we had a little bout of running noses and coughs last week...at least the boys did. Everything has returned to normal now, which is good. The boys were pretty cranky last week, which wasn't very fun for me. They both wanted me at the same time last week, which got very overwhelming at times. They both had a loss of appetite and would hardly eat anything. I'm just glad that they have returned to their normal selves now!!

Justus is doing well, and his vocabulary is continuing to grow. I think he learns at least one new word a day and is getting good at saying little phrases....like "there you go", "it's alright", and "there it is". It's definitely an exciting time for us to teach him new phrases and words. He's also been eating a little bit later which makes me think that he is going through a growth spurt. He seems to always be hungry and is able to eat quite a bit. He ate a whole corndog today, which I am still shocked by. That's a lot of food for him considering he usually just picks at his food. Justus is also getting to that "terrible two's" stage. He will throw himself on the ground and kick his feet when he doesn't get his way. Thankfully it hasn't happened in public...but I know that will probably soon change.

We've officially moved Matthias into our third bedroom. Only his crib though...not his clothes. We were getting sick of moving the pack n play around, and figured that if we were going to keep him in the third bedroom that we might as well move his crib as well. So we did that this week and moved the twin sized bed into the boys' room. Matthias I think likes sleeping in his crib a lot better than the pack n play. Anyways...Matthias is teething right now. He has been a little cranky lately and his gums are pretty puffy. I think he is cutting all four of his canine teeth and a couple molars as well. Poor little guy!! I'm hoping they all come in and we can be done with it. We've been giving him tylenol about once a day...usually before bed time because he hasn't been sleeping that well...I assume because his gums are hurting. The doctor actually suggested ibuprofen though since it is anti-inflammatory, so we are going to pick some of that up tomorrow.

I'm currently 21 weeks pregnant. Still hard to believe I'm halfway done...and that we are expecting a little girl. I'm feeling her move around now and have felt many kicks and even a little case of the hiccups. I usually feel her at night when I am laying in bed or am sitting really still. So far things are continuing to go great. We have another ultrasound March 5th, when I will be 24 weeks. I can't believe we will be welcoming baby #3 in about 4 months!! We are planning on buying some clothes at garage sales once they start up in the spring. We have already gotten a few things thanks to some of our friends who were getting rid of their baby girl's old clothes. We really haven't bought anything yet besides the one little dress and I got a little onesie that says "Daddy is my hero". I'm sure we'll get a few things though. We just don't want to go overboard, which I'm finding may be hard with a little girl since they have so many more clothes to choose from than little boys do. Today I made a baby sling. It's very cute! I need to take a picture of it. I'm pretty excited about using it already. I wish I would have made one a long time ago for the boys. Too late for that now I guess.

Anyways...I have lots of pictures to upload from our time outside in the 70 degree weather we had. I'll have to do that some time next week!
